188. The implication of the BLM protester is that Hillary was making a racist statement.

Thu Feb 25, 2016, 09:16 AM

Feb 2016

You linked the original video, so I responded to the video.

I was pointing out the same thing (as discussed on MSNBC this am); that the video is being taken out of context by BLM.

The reference was to the gang violence of the 90's and a crime wave. Hillary was not pointing at minorities.

In today's time, we can look back at mandatory sentencing and police actions and see things need fixing. That was not the issue at the time of her speech.

If you were not making it a racial issue, then I misunderstood you. If you were, then I think the facts dispute that assertion.
