Klan leader claims KKK has given $20K to Clinton campaign

Wrong. I simply think people of color should have more tact than how they were treated until 40 years ago when it comes to the dealing with white privilege. I got family who is dark skinned and i am more Cherokee than half of my tribe, but you wouldnt be able to tell with the eye test, so I feel both sides of the conflict. Rather than making massive blanket statements and accusing every white complected person of some maleificent wrongdoing, stick to the facts and let them ring out.

IRT this thread, if you think Hillary aint racist, thats points against you brother. The super predator comment alone scared a generation of "liberal" white women into backing this mass incarceration of brothas we see today. It is a business fool. There can be ni defending a woman who championed the start of that vile prison machine.

Hillary didn't start the vile prison machine. Reagan's racist, crooked ass followed Nixon's "heroin" playbook and allowed crack cocaine into impoverished black communities by the boatload under CIA protection as part of his Iran-Contra scandal. And as he allowed crack cocaine into black neighborhoods his administration criminalized it heavily with Anti-Drug abuse act which had harsh mandatory sentences. There was no rehab or drug program...it was straight to prison. And as crack exploded and got out of control so did the drug wars which was killing those communities as Reagan intended, like Nixon before him. The crack epidemic and drug/gang wars had reached their peak by the 90's and everyone (including black people) were at their limit so the crime bill was seen as harsh but necessary.

Hillary campaigned for a candidate who was against the CRA-of-'64, a guy who is now compared to Donald Trump, but you know, whatever. See, here's where your disconnect is: if our racist leaders were so tough on crime in the 70s and 80s, why is Bill and Hill championing FAR tougher legislation in the mid 90's and beyond not also racism? The stats speak for themselves - the prison industrial complex has grown exponentially in the past three decades:

If you want to argue semantics and say, "he started it!" lol ok, go ahead. I wont even argue it, fine, point conceded. You can decide if there's not bigger, or at least different fish to fry now. You can decide whether the cops are the racists, or the judges, or the government (first lady included), or all of them to some degree.

Even more damning is her support of wall street and TBTF banks' illegal lending practices. When it all came crashing down in 2008 and 2009, many black households practically disintegrated. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/...g-race/396725/ for an article about how much wealth was lost in comparison to white households. predatory lending was aimed directly at people of color, and it hurt blacks the most.
