Bill Clinton: BLM is defending murderers and drug dealers

[Ebsy]

You know what's funnier than this thread.  How much you guys are blowing it out of the water.  No one is talking about this.  First you used a clickbait headline, which is wrong.  Get over yourselves and stop aguring over the internet and get lives.  Does nothing exept make you look like fools.

To be fair, this happened like 2-3 hours ago. Give it a bit of time: I imagine it'll be popping by tomorrow.

Yes, and Sanders will get 28% of the black vote in Georgia.

I never said that...

Take the Clinton number from Landmark and the Sanders number from here, and you have the actual results.

72+29 = 101 .....

Are you really that anally-retentive, or...?

Bill Clinton remains an FF

[Reaganfan]

Massive freedom move for America. Massive stupid move for Hillary campaign.

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

[Kingpoleon]

Clinton says something terrible about an actual organization: "Eh."

Trump says something equally terrible about illegal immigrants: "OMG, AWFUL!"

What is wrong with Generation Y?

[JerryArkansas]

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

Very true. 

Still I say everyone needs to step back and get over it for a few.  Go hang out with friends, and leave politics alone. 

[dspNY]

The only problem for Sanders here is this:

1. He voted for the crime bill
2. He campaigned on his yes vote for the crime bill when he ran for Senate in Vermont

[Ebowed]

Is anyone surprised? The Clintons ran a viciously racist campaign in 2008. They don't care about black lives at all.

How about saying they don't like murderers and drug dealers? That doesn't say people of certain skin color. Unless....unless....you're...(gasp)....picturing black people whenever you hear the word drug dealer. That would be horrible. You'd be a terrible racist bigot for doing such an awful emotional thing.

Don't talk to me that way, Reaganfan.  Bill Clinton was addressing BLACK LIVES MATTER protesters, and there is no way you are going to indulge in your barely subtle concern trolling without getting called out on it.  You are a bigot.  You side with the cops every time they shoot an unarmed black person and you somehow think that they all deserve it because unarmed black people who get into trouble with the police must be child murderers and drug dealers, right?  That is a really disgusting opinion to hold.  It just goes to show why the BLM movement continues to be necessary.

Watch the entire clip.  Bill spends thirteen minutes talking about this, he's completely right and brilliant as usual.

Funny watching all you white kids listen to whatever the furthest-left most-attention-starved black professional protester on Twitter tells you, and then go out and call the Clintons racist because they put away the black criminals, drug dealers and gang leaders who were destroying black neighborhoods, which the civil rights leaders and black community leaders were begging them to do.  All you see is the color of their skin.  Black people in prison?  Must be because the Clintons are racist.  If you looked past their skin color you would see that putting these drug dealers and gangsters back on the streets would only cause more black deaths.

But you don't actually care about black lives, or this would be obvious to you.  What you and BLM actually care about is the power that comes from being able to be judge and jury on racism in America, in this instance because that power lets you attack Hillary for being married to someone you have deemed a racist.

“I’ll tell you another story about a place where black lives matter: Africa.”
- Bill Clinton

“You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth.”
- Bill Clinton

“Hillary spent her time trying to get healthcare for poor kids—and who were they? Their lives matter.”
- Bill Clinton

“I don’t know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack and sent them out into the street to murder other African American children. Maybe you thought they were good citizens—she didn’t.”
- Bill Clinton

Jesus Christ. What are the odds we don't see Bill on the campaign trail again during the primary?

This is the stupidest post.  Let me give Atlas the context for each of those quotes.

Africa:  Bill told a story about how Hillary has a big fan club in Dar es Salaam because in 2009 she fought hard for an HIV/AIDS aid package that saved the lives of thousands of Africans.

Tell the truth:  Hysterical screaming bitch said Bill was a racist for putting murderers behind bars because those murderers were black.  Bill points out that they were murderers who killed other black people.

Healthcare for poor kids:  Not even sure why this quote is in here.  Hillary created the Childrens Health Insurance Program, which expanded health coverage for millions of black children and undoubtedly saved thousands upon thousands of black lives.

I don't know how you would characterize...:  No context needed.  Bill is just right.

This election cycle is just insane.  The mainstream democratic party position now is that the murderer crips and bloods are good citizens who should never go to prison, because they're black, and that anyone who disagrees is a racist.  Bill is getting criticized by the mainstream of the party and the media for disagreeing with this position.  What a year.

He's right but he was dumb to say it during a Democratic primary.

Wrong voters should be told they're wrong. This applies to Democrats, Republicans and Trump supporters.

BIGOT :a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.

You're a bigot for being intolerant towards my differing opinions.

[Adam Griffin]

blah blah blah

You think you're the only one who watched it? No, the only "context" here that matters is that when faced with black protesters or discussing these issues in general, he resorts to the same tired talking points that conservatives and racists do to defend their actions and thoughts, including:

• Allusions to the "all lives matter" shtick
• Implying that protesting his legislative actions that led to massive incarceration spikes equates to supporting THUGS, CRIMINALS and CRACKHEADS, because those are the only people who were affected
• "We helped poor kids! You're all poor, right? See, we helped you there!"
• Suggesting that Africans and African-Americans are one and the same, and that by helping those poor, wretched masses halfway around the world, African-Americans should be grateful for that, and that it's somehow relevant to anything the protesters are saying

There's a reason all of these well-known bigots and racists on the board are jumping to his defense. If the "context" wasn't enough, then the tell-tale trail here of their vitriol certainly should be enough.

He's right but he was dumb to say it during a Democratic primary.

[DrScholl]

What exactly are people mad about here? Are black people supposed to be exempt from going to prison even if they actually are guilty of committing a crime? It's not at all racist to put people in prison for committing crime.

Exactly. It seems that they want blacks to be exempt from jail, and put whites there as a revenge for the past.

[Lyin' Steve]

Allusions to the "all lives matter" shtick

So now it's not enough that just saying "All lives matter" is racist, even implying that any life over than a black life matters is racist.

Implying that protesting his legislative actions that led to massive incarceration spikes equates to supporting THUGS, CRIMINALS and CRACKHEADS, because those are the only people who were affected

CRIMINALS

because those are the only people who were affected

What do you think crime is?  Who do you think was affected?  The only controversy seems to be low-level or nonviolent drug offenders.  Whether or not you think they're actually criminals, they certainly committed a crime.  If they do get let out of jail I hope that instead of going back to destroy black communities, they come hang out on your sheltered suburban street corner and sell drugs to your children and destroy your community.  Maybe that would change your view about whether or not it's racist to call them criminals.

"We helped poor kids! You're all poor, right? See, we helped you there!"

This is so stupid it makes my head explode.  He never said "you're all poor, right?", you put that in because you desperately want to hear Bill Clinton say racist things so you can boil over with hatred.

Suggesting that Africans and African-Americans are one and the same, and that by helping those poor, wretched masses halfway around the world, African-Americans should be grateful for that, and that it's somehow relevant to anything the protesters are saying

I think you'll find the slogan is "black lives matter"
Regardless, you're accusing Bill of being a bigot and a racist.  I'm pretty sure that if you're a racist you hate black people no matter where they are in the world.

[Ebsy]

The 1994 crime bill didn't even have a huge impact on federal incarceration rates, so perhaps Bill Clinton is warranted in demanding these protesters (who basically were just calling him and Hillary murderers) tell the whole truth.

[Suburbia]

The BLM movement is not popular in Middle America. Period.

[henster]

I wish the Sanders campaign would bring up some of the veiled racism the Clinton's employed against Obama back in 2008. All of it shouldn't be swept under the rug and forgotten.

[Reaganfan]

That's where they are, now. A bank robber could be shooting people in a mask, gloves and boots...a cop could run in and shoot him...take off the mask and the guy's black...suddenly the cop was "excessive".

[Famous Mortimer]

The bill was to punish people for being criminals. Not to punish people for being Black.

Literally the only ones equating Black people with criminals are the BLM activists, who seem to think that all Black people are criminals, and thus an anti-crime bill is an attack on all Blacks.

Clearly, the only non-racist thing is to assume those drug dealers are unfairly persecuted dindus named D-money, Smoothie, and Shifty.

If you did your research you would realize that the bill disproportionately imprisoned blacks in the 90s. This was Clinton's attempt to look "tough" and bring the super predators to heel.
