Bill Clinton Says ‘Make America Great Again’ Is Just A Racist Dog Whistle

“If you’re a white Southerner, you know exactly what it means.”

Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday said Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” is a racist dog whistle.

“I’m actually old enough to remember the good old days, and they weren’t all that good in many ways,” Clinton said at a rally in Orlando. “That message where ‘I’ll give you America great again’ is if you’re a white Southerner, you know exactly what it means, don’t you?”

“What it means is ‘I’ll give you an economy you had 50 years ago, and I’ll move you back up on the social totem pole and other people down,’” he said. “What Hillary wants to do is take the totem poll down, and let us all go forward together.”

Clinton, who is a white Southerner himself, made the comments after Hillary Clinton gave a speech last month accusing Trump of bringing racism and fringe conspiracy theories into the mainstream with his 2016 campaign....

I don’t know anyone that is arguing for segregation?

Black SJWs are arguing for segregation. They are succeeding in some places in getting separate black dorms, separate black proms, and so on. Twisted, isn't it? MLK must be spinning in his grave.

Bill Clinton: “Anyone who tries to stop my house negro from fetching my coffee is a vile racist whose every word is a dawg whistle trying to steal my rightfully earned black dawgs. Now send me some more charity funds for starving homeless Haitians, ‘cause Epstein’s lolita island takes money to run. Jet fuel ain’t free ya’ll. And, by the way, that black Republican Powell made my wife set up that illegal email server. She’s totally innocent... just like me.”

I have never thought that Trump was referring to racial issues in any way with his slogan. He’s not saying that a black president has screwed up the country, he’s saying that a leftist political party has screwed up the country, and there’s a huge difference in that paradigm, since

(a) not all blacks are leftists, and

(b) the next candidate to make things continually worse is a white woman.

I believe Bill may have met the lady at some point.

Oh, you are so naive! It's IMPLICITLY racist, that's the point. Trump is just a mindless racist idiot like the rest of us. Have some Kool-Aid.

This idea that you are racist if you are loyal to traditional America has been trending for quite some time.

As always, if it were not for double-standards, Democrats would have no standards at all...

Remember when Bubba claimed he grew up in a time of burning black churches ?
Not a single church burned while he grew up.

That message where "Can we just stop talking about Hillary's health now" if you are a media reporter, you know exactly what that means, don't you?
