On the heels of President Obama’s gun-control advocacy before the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in San Francisco, Hillary Clinton told the leaders today that the racism behind the mass murder in South Carolina isn’t isolated but systemic.
(snip) “Once again, racist rhetoric has metastasized into racist violence. Now, it’s tempting, it is tempting to dismiss a tragedy like this as an isolated incident, to believe that in today’s America, bigotry is largely behind us, that institutionalized racism no longer exists. But despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, America’s long struggle with race is far from finished,” she said.
“I know this is a difficult topic to talk about. I know that so many of us hoped by electing our first black president, we had turned the page on this chapter in our history. I know there are truths we don’t like to say out loud or discuss with our children. But we have to. That’s the only way we can possibly move forward together. Race remains a deep fault line in America. Millions of people of color still experience racism in their everyday lives.”
Clinton highlighted the gap in median wealth between black and white families, higher death rates from asthma among black children, and blacks serving longer prison sentences for the same crimes as whites.

You should know who had been promoting and continue to promote, those racist rhetoric. Those were your circle, your colleagues and your ex-boss.
If you want America to have an honest debate across the table as you say, you need to be honest in the first place.
Notice she didnt mention black on black crime, can’t go there..hey Hillary, why don’t you visit a Planned Parenthood office you will see they slaughter innocent black babies every single day
This woman is insufferable, and her dishonesty is flat out dangerous.
Nutjobs have a shot at being President in America.
Does she realize that HER Party formed the Confederacy, the KKK, Jim Crow, the Dixiecrats and was the home of Bull Connor, George Wallace, Robert Byrd and Jefferson Davis?
“Klansmen” = Democrats in party costume.....
Maybe not. She was a Republican when a lot of that was going on. Or at least that's what she says.
Yes, the racism of the scum who shot those people. But that’s not what hill means. She means that all Whites (except her) are racist.
Speak for yourself, you ugly-a$$ old witch.
Well, the racial minorities hurt themselves to an extent that the racists would dream of.
She’s old enough that she was a Republican in Lincoln’s day? Boy, I knew she was ancient, but not like that? /s
How many blacks did she and Bill invite to live with them?
The greatest racism I have observed in America is directed towards White people and fanned by liberals.
“Klansmen” = Democrats in party costume.....
lol.........lol.........lol.......
Her dad was a Republican. Hillary was a Goldwater girl in the 1964 election. Then she went away to college and became radical.
Said the racist white woman.
I’m familiar with her background.
Does she realize that HER Party formed the Confederacy, the KKK, Jim Crow, the Dixiecrats and was the home of Bull Connor, George Wallace, Robert Byrd and Jefferson Davis?....................................... LOL, don’t you know that they all became Republicans once the N/E Progressive Liberals took over the Democrat party?
Has her racist brother-in-law, Roger, made any comments on this matter?
Bill Clinton wasn’t doing that well in the early part of his first term—and Hillarycare cost the Democrats control of Congress in 1994. What turned it around seems to have been, at least in part, Bill’s handling of the Oklahoma City bombing (which he blamed on talk radio, I think). So Hillary may think she can recreate that and run as the candidate who will save the country from white supremacists.
