In reply to the discussion: On Anniversary of Rwandan Genocide, Bill Clinton’s Words Ring Hollow [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)The OP from HuffPo, which I posted with no commentary of my own, explicitly lays out Bill Clinton's actions influencing the U.N. peace keepers to leave Rwanda and first lady Hillary's in joining him at a follow up "congratulatory" visit to the State Department for getting all the whites out before the slaughter began.
These 2 survivors quite explicitly set out facts which reveal Bill Clinton in a very negative light, i.e., those hundreds of thousands of black Rwandan lives didn't matter. I opened the topic to debate. I did not post in the AA group, having been told to keep my white nose out of "their" business. That was when I criticized Bill Clinton's recent actions talking down to two black lives matter protestors.
You ask if I have my "own house" to straighten out? Well I have 2 black relatives and some black friends, and I support Black Lives Matter - and by that I mean ALL black lives matter, including Rwandan ones.
Run "your" group anyway you want - I'm not going there again. Are you trying to tell the rest of the DU that none of us are allowed to discuss Rwanda in any other DU forums? Or Bill Clinton's actions in that nightmare?
So the topic was and remains the Rwanda genocide and Bill Clinton's actions there as set forth in the Huff Po article. The authors of the HuffPo article lay all the facts out in a far more powerful fashion than I could. Stop calling me out, and respond to their account of Bill's actions/inactions.
