Is Hilary Clinton likely to improve race relations in America?

[sibelian]

Honest question, I do not know her history on this issue.

[customerserviceguy]

1. Being as she would enlist Bill Clinton in her efforts

I'd say that indirectly, she'd have a positive effect on race relations. Other than Rand Paul, I cannot think of any Republican who would have anything other than a negative effect on racial tensions in this country.

[Spazito]

12. Rand Paul wants private enterprises to be excluded from the Civil Rights Act...

hardly a positive effect on race relations.

[customerserviceguy]

13. I only single him out

because he's made at least a show of reaching out to African-Americans, and has spoken of restoring voting rights to people who have been convicted of drug offenses. I still absolutely believe that Hillary would be far better for repairing race relations in this country than Rand Paul ever could on his best day.

[Skidmore]

2. I don't trust her to do so because

I still remember some of the unsavory stuff she let run rampant during the 2008 primary and didn't say a word to condemn. It was ugly.

[frazzled]

3. Do you think spamming is a good way to make a case?

And do you think rhetorical questions are insulting to intelligent readers?

[Spazito]

4. Why are you making a thread for one question at a time?

It makes it look like you are spamming GD. Why not make one or two threads with multiple questions?

6. Gracias for saying that.

7. Has anyone checked to see what Hillary's background may be before asking a question about

whether she wants to improve race relations? She was fighting for Civil Rights since her college days, Bill has closely related to the black community, do some research. Here is a site on her stand on the issues:

9. If you're going to relentlessly and inexplicably spam us about Ms. Clinton, the least you could do

is spell her name correctly. It's "Hillary", for Pete's sake.

[MineralMan]

10. I think she is likely to do so.

But you've misspelled her name. So, I wonder if you're likely to correct your error. The Edit button does not have a time limit. Please spell her name correctly: Hillary.

[woo me with science]

11. I am always particularly revolted by Third Way attempts to exploit race and gender

in order to push candidates whose corporate, predatory policies disproportionately savage women and minorities.

The effects of continued corporate warfare on this nation will be a disaster for all Americans, but *especially* women and minorities.

The truth is that, just as the Third Way sees no problem cozying up to nations that spiral inequality and outlaw "flirtatious eyes" by women, there is no way that Third Way genuinely prioritizes values of racial and gender equality....not when they are aggressively dismantling of the very economic and democratic systems that make it possible for women and minorities to be empowered.

I just can't wait to see the status of women and minorities in this country when we are all working for Third World wages, Hillary's trade agreements have ramped up corporate power and the ability of corporations to override our laws and protections, and dissent in the new corporate America has been crushed.
