So Clinton wanted to bring Black kids to heel?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

In her support for the 1994 crime bill, for example, she used racially coded rhetoric to cast black children as animals. “They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” she said. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”*

and she expects Black people to vote for her?

1. I watched 12 Years a Slave tonight for the first time.

I'm pretty sensitive about this right now.

Her words are disgusting.

2. Or the other way around

There are places on this planet where children are forced into rebel groups, armed and killing people at 10 or 11 years of age. You would think they would be incorrigible, ruined for life, but that's not the case. It seems the most effective way to change their behavior is to "talk about why they ended up that way." Life is full of surprises. Even people running for president can learn things if they keep their minds open.

3. Gang members with automatic weapons were terrorizing the black

community. It was NOT children she was referring to. .

4. It says "kids"

5. Excuse me. Gang members with automatic weapons are someones kids.

Grown-ups acting irresponsibly implicates immature kid-like behavior.

6. She expects them to vote for her just as she expects to be the first woman president

It's all a given. She's entitled!

7. It just keeps piling up

This accumulation of all of this cold blooded comentary is so depressing.
The fact that I may wind up reluctantly, finally voting for a woman for president makes me so sad.

In my dreams, I wish I could take a long trip out of the country and hide from all US news until the end of Jan 2017. If I could do that, I would still be sure to vote absentee even if it breaks my heart. The results could determine whether or not I would want to return, though.

8. Black voters are just like most other voters

That is to say, not political junkies and not policy wonks. They don't know this,, and most are too busy to find out.

9. Do you think this post could be offensive? It's a racial stereotype that there are few PoC politicos

... politicos in America.

My hunch is there are as many politicos in CoC than there are in the white communities in America....

Since whites outnumber PoC in America 2 to 1 almost then of course its SEEN that politicos of color are less prevalent

10. I said that black vters are exactly like all other voters

Not policy wonks. People who post on political message boards do not reflect the general population. I've done enough doorbelling to know that--have you?
