Clintons wrestle with a black generation gap

It's hard to say why former President Bill Clinton went so far off-script to defend his 1994 anti-crime law against Black Lives Matter hecklers at a Philadelphia rally for his wife's presidential campaign.

Clarence Page doesn't want to remember, like many other liberals, that Ol' Slick is still a 2nd generation Dixiecrat as are many Democrats still in Washington. It's a little comical when you think about it.

I'm so used to columnists hiding behind unsigned articles that I didn't even notice it was by Clarence Page.

Life is too short to bother with Clarence Page.

Unless you're a psychopharmacologist using him as a case study.

HaHaHa

Clarence can’t bring his sorry self to admit that the Clinton’s say what’s popular at the time.

They have no core values. Bill did, at one time. He was a Southerner.

Hillary is a follower of Saul Alinsky.

Blacks in clinton’s time had something to fight for. Their lives were at stake. Today all they show us is their contractors crack and they don’t even work!

We've had one black president and one mulatto president.

the first was a Horn Dog and the other a sexual Nancy Boy.

It's time we had a black woman president

Sharpton accuses Clinton, Sanders of trying to ‘rewrite history’
By Daniel Chaitin (@danielchaitin7) • 4/10/16 1:58 PM

Rev. Al Sharpton accused both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders of attempting to “rewrite history” in recent attempts to walk away from their support of a 1994 crime bill blamed for a rise in the number of black men imprisoned.

“It is almost like you’re trying to play on the intelligence of those of us that were against the bill,” the cable news pundit and civil rights leader said Sunday on MSNBC.

“To just say that the statement ‘predator’ is bad, and it was, but both of them supported the bill,” Sharpton said, referencing controversy over Clinton’s use of the term ‘super-predator’ in 1996. “And I feel the bill was wrong and proved to be wrong.”

“I would have a lot more respect if people just said: ‘Look it was a mistake. We were wrong,’” Sharpton said. “How do you take the same side and attack the other one ... when you both did the same thing,” he said. “You supported the bill.”
