Exchange between Bill Clinton and New Mexico Resident Illustrates Deceptive Framing of Key Issues

17. Okay ...

Obviously a huge issue that must be addressed, but in dealing with an entire populace, how do you put this first, and is that the wisest course of action?

Yes ... That is the wisest course for ME; just as, addressing the issue of "an entire populace" (read, YOU, personally; a position that leaves PoC, even the most impoverished, in largely, the same relative position) is the wisest course of action for YOU.

don't see how you can take Social Security out of the hands of FDR.

I don't ... He took it out of the hands of my grand-parents ... that's the unromanticized truth, and the point I've been making.

But that said, I had written a much longer response to your post; then, deleted it because I realized that you (whether consciously or unconsciously) really believe that YOU fighting for YOUR interests, and trying to get me to believe likewise, is the only moral position; whereas, me fighting for my interests is less moral ... because it does not include a benefit to you ... even as history has demonstrated that bottom-up solutions trickle up (a lot faster) than, the trickle down ("trust me" fiction) justice that you offer.

(See: the Civil Rights Act of 1964-originally drafted for African-Americans; but, within less than 10 years, gave birth to laws that included/protected the entire populace.)

So ... I will leave it right where we stand. It is my sincere hope that you can/will step outside of yourself (your direct and immediate interests) in an attempt to understand, just how rational Black voters are being.
