DU is brimming with "outrage" over how HRC treats blacks, with thread after thread telling

56. My anger is not so much about her bigotry - it is about the

theory of John DiIulio regarding the idea of incarcerating people who can never be rehabilitated. This theory is not new - it was around in the late 1890s and 1920s and they called it eugenics.

Why am I upset? Because I experienced it also. Not from a racial stand point but from the point of a mental illness in the family. I can trace 5 generations of mental illness in my immediate family. A two great aunts who were put into institutions for life, a aunt who was also place in the institution but let out in the late 50s when nothing was left of her life. My mother who was lucky enough to be left home after shock treatment and my little brother who is home because we now understand what was going on and our family protects him. All those before my mother were sterilized so that there could be no children.

And I know that this was happening in black communities even more.

What I am angry about is that the Clintons could fall for this stupid discriminating theory in the 90s. Pure southern bull. We have known better since the late 70s and yet they used this theory to create a system that incarcerated so many people.

Sorry but I do not see that they were using their heads at all following this theory. And since I still have my brother and my daughter who would have been victims of this theory - I want nothing to do with them and their flawed theory.

If you think I do not have a right to be angry with her I am sorry but I have been fighting this shit all my life. Not going to stop now because it doesn't suit someone else.
