In reply to the discussion: No Hillary Clinton did NOT call Black Children "Super Predators".. [View all]oNobodyo
(96 posts)The term "super predator" had literally nothing to do with race, Clinton didn't invent it and it was in wide use among "experts" and the media at the time.
"A professor of politics and public affairs on the political science faculty at Princeton University, John DiIulio, created and popularized the superpredator concept. He coined the term superpredator (1995b) to call public attention to what he characterized as a new breed of offenders, kids that have absolutely no respect for human life and no sense of the future. . . .
These are stone-cold predators! (p. 23). Elsewhere, DiIulio and co-authors have described these young people as fatherless, Godless, and jobless and as radically impulsive, brutally remorseless youngsters, including ever more teenage boys, who murder, assault, rob, burglarize, deal deadly drugs, join gun-toting gangs, and create serious [linked] disorders (Bennett, DiIulio, & Walters, 1996, p. 27)."
