Black Lives Matter Activist: Bill Clinton's Defense of "SUPERPREDATOR" Policies Dehumanizes Us

[Segami]

Bill Clinton: "...I ALMOST want to apologize for it...." "ALMOST" but no cigar, right Bill?....

The Black Lives Matter movement continues to shake up the race to the White House. On Thursday, activists in Philadelphia disrupted a speech by former President Bill Clinton, who was campaigning on behalf of Hillary Clinton. The activists called out the Clintons for their support for the 1994 crime bill, which led to a massive expansion of incarceration in the United States, and Hillary Clinton’s 1996 comments that some youth were "superpredators." In response, Bill Clinton defended Hillary Clinton’s use of the term "superpredators" and accused the activists of defending criminals. We speak to Melina Abdullah, an organizer with Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles. "[Bill Clinton] is very good at ... distracting us from how systems create these conditions," says Abdullah. "They act as if the young folks who wind up committing crimes … as if they weren’t human beings. This term 'superpredator' dehumanizes our children."

8. Well down in here in SC media lied and said Sanders was rude to BLM

And this helped play onto the swiftboating that Clinton had going here that Sanders was a old white jew who had no idea there are even black people in America.

4. The Clintons are very adept at playing both sides of the race issue.

It just depends on which side suits their purpose at the time.

Too bad so many people haven't caught on to this obvious fact.
