Bill Clinton: BLM is defending murderers and drug dealers

ITT: white liberals can't understand that white liberals can still be racist and racially insensitive, and also don't understand crime

lol, people who think the 1994 crime bill was responsible for mass incarceration are either totally clueless or total f_cking liars. Most likely, the crime prevention provisions, when combined with the urban renewal policies that began in the early-/mid-1980s and began to bear fruit by the early-1990s, plus policing reforms modeled after Hartford, Connecticut's, is what began the decline in crime.

But who cares about facts, just another thing to slam the Clintons on, right?






Here's a summary of the 1994 bill, by the way: https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/billfs.txt

The idea that this will hurt the Clintons with the black vote is very unlikely.

According to Pew, a majority of black Americans agree with the goals of BLM. As exit polling has shown, a greater percentage of blacks have voted for Hillary than the number who agree with BLM. I would bet good money that a large portion, if not an actual majority, of BLM supporters also support Hillary.

The reason the same black political leaders support the goals of BLM and also support the Clintons is because they understand that you can criticize the bad parts of the 1994 crime bill and also criticize the people who are protesting Bill Clinton while also supporting policing & sentencing reforms. They know that most of the crime bill was actually a good thing, especially the billions provided for inner-city investment and anti-crime policies combined with the billions for urban renewal projects, that has led to the crime rate falling by nearly half since 1992, even if some people got longer sentences than was necessary. They understand that politicians can learn from their mistakes, that the negative side effects of the crime bill were not born out of malice, and that you don't always get what you want. They simply don't agree with these particular BLM protestors that Bill Clinton is somehow responsible for mass incarceration (something that has been disproven time and time again), even if they agree with BLM's general goals.

Stop thinking in such black-and-white terms, Jesus people.
