she says her mother told her that?

Even if that is true, in the current climate where there is much dissension over "black lives matter" vs "all live matters", it was either a clueless thing to say or a calculated one.

Whatever it was, it wasn't wise at all to say in a black church as she lost a lot of votes with that bit of clueless calculation.

If you're an ally act like it and don't come at us with that triangulating BS.
