Hillary Clinton: ‘Black Girl Magic Is Real’

“You are the changemakers, the path breakers, and the ground shakers,” Clinton said at the Black Women’s Agenda.

Hillary Clinton on Friday celebrated the achievements of African American women, telling an audience at the Black Women’s Agenda that they were proof that “black girl magic was real.”

Black girl magic, which isn’t in the dictionary just yet, is a phrase used to celebrate the awesomeness of black women.

The event was hosted by the Black Women’s Agenda Symposium Workshop, which is the organization dedicated to addressing disparities faced by black women.

Clinton said that all women have to work harder at the office while still bearing responsibilities at home ― a challenge that can be even more difficult for black women.

Black women, she said, “leave the house every morning, put on that game face that well all practice, and enter a social that consistently challenges your worth ― with the images you see, the lower pay that so many take home; that try to silence your voices and break your spirits. That you remain fierce in the face of the challenges.”

Noting that black women, too, were artists, successful entrepreneurs and community leaders, Clinton acknowledged that their stories were often passed over by the mainstream narrative.

“While your stories are often missing from the history books, make no mistake, you are the changemakers, the path breakers and the ground shakers,” she said. “And you are proof that yes indeed, black girl magic is real.”(continued)

"Black women, she said, “leave the house every morning, put on that game face that well all practice, and enter a social that consistently challenges your worth ― with the images you see, the lower pay that so many take home; that try to silence your voices and break your spirits. That you remain fierce in the face of the challenges.” " So Hillary thinks that all successful black women see their selves as victims?

I get offended quite often myself. Can’t imagine the pushback if Trump spoke in a forum specifically designed for the white female vote, named the WHITE WOMENS AGENDA. I have to further wonder what media interpretation would be if Trump asked them to show their “WHITE GIRL MAGIC.” I understand Clinton’s purpose and I think my reflections pinpointed her targets.

"Clinton said that all women have to work harder at the office while still bearing responsibilities at home ― a challenge that can be even more difficult for black women."

Why? Because they're stupid? What a bunch of condescending claptrap.

Pandering NONSENSE.

Hey, Hillary! Pretty tired of you and your race-baiting. It was old 50 years ago when you first started out.

Does it EVER occur to the Left that we are AMERICANS first, last and always?
