Clinton tells Sharpton group that whites 'need to recognize our privilege' and says Trump and Cruz burst open the 'ugly currents that lurk just below the surface of our politics'
Hillary Clinton told members of Al Sharpton's civil rights organization today that whites need to check their privilege when discussing racial inequality.
'White Americans need to do a much better job of listening when American-Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face every day,' Clinton said at the National Action Network conference in New York City.
Clinton told attendees, 'We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility rather than assume our experiences are everyone else's experiences.'

That said, should there not be more discussion about affirmative action, which might be alternatively labeled...
Black privilege?
Even more than that, I would like to see more Dem politicians and alleged black leaders discuss personal responsibility and unity as opposed to false blames and self-directed pity.

Hillary is definitely PRIVELEGED, because she should have been in federal penitentiary years ago.
Yeah, they get paid for not having a job, they get to knock whitey out, rob whitey, rape whitey, break into whitey’s house, shoot whitey, slash whitey, get free food, get free housing, don’t pay taxes, they get to be racists without any grief, they get to complain when 1 whitey cop shoots 1 of them who’s a criminal, they get to not complain when hundreds of their innocent children get shot by them, they get to avoid any responsibility for anything by blaming it on whitey.
Whitey’s privilege is to pay them money and get more grief the more money they pay.
The biggest POS’s in America are mid Atlantic Blacks.
These people live in a country that whites founded, invented a Constitution that ensured their rights, even if not immediate, and with all the opportunity and safety and charity they enjoy, they complain about what whites have left. It is just stunning the depth of ingratitude and entitlement.
Jackie Robinson was Republican and good friend of Gov Nelson Rockefeller
In a sane world, a candidate pandering to a racist, riot inciting, pig like Sharpton would finish someone’s candidacy.
and wasn’t the media all over Trump for denouncing David Duke even though he denounced him. But here we have open pandering to a black racist pig.
The racial double standard in this country has become insane.
A friend of mine commented how African-Americans had so much hate. She lived next door to a Nigerian couple, who made the same comment. They didn't relate to American blacks at all.
I had a Nigerian guy tell me the same thing.
Non-american black people around the world laugh at and/or despise "typical" American black people.
I have a darn good better idea...
How about we start telling people to recognize their AMERICAN PRIVILEGE!
Sorry, but stop dividing and start finding language that unites us, as citizens.
Hey Hillary!
Despite Democrat opposition to the 1964 voting rights act, America has spent over $1 Trillion on Johnson’s 1965 “War on Poverty”, which is sufficient acknowledgement of our “privilege”, thank you very much.
Clinton has a point. By paying attention to my work and my family, I was quite successful in business and raised several kids who turned out extremely well. I’m proud of all my children.
If I had listened to a lot of racist foolishness and believed my skin color mattered more than working hard and doing my best, I probably would have failed in business, in marriage, and as a parent. The ability to ignore racial nonsense is the privilege that I think Bill Clinton is talking about.
If only a black leader had advised black Americans to pay attention to the content of other people’s character and not the color of their skin, blacks today could have the same privilege that I have enjoyed throughout my life.
Hillary would certainly be willing to submit America to Islamic rule.
Oh. The Eskiho.
They must be intuit and not Inuit.
As individuals, this is very true.
But these idiots are asking that everyone who is white to "recognize" that their experience is the same - which is 100% bass-ackwards.
