NEW YORK, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- In a speech in New York City's Harlem neighborhood Tuesday, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton discussed systemic racism and called on white Americans to do their part to "practice humility."
"White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers that you face every day," she told a crowd at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture on Monday. "We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility, rather than assume that our experiences are everyone's experiences."
The speech was also to unveil her $2 billion plan to end the "school-to-prison pipeline," by creating "School Climate Support Teams," comprised of social workers, educators and behavioral health specialists who are placed in schools with high rates of in-school arrests.
"This is not just an education issue," she said. "This is a civil rights issue, and we cannot ignore it any longer. The bottom line is this: We need to be sending our kids to college. We need a cradle-to-college pipeline, not sending them into court and into prison."
The speech also took aim at voter ID laws that have become more prolific in recent years.
"Across our country, Republican governors and legislatures are erecting one barrier after another that make it harder for black people to vote," she said. "It's a blast from the Jim Crow past, and we need to call it for what it is."
The speech came after Clinton attended a closed-door meeting with black community leaders at the National Urban League Monday morning.

What privilege?
Clinton needs to recognize that she’s a liar and a crook. Arf! Arf! Arf!
She says “we” but she means “you”.
I don’t make $250,000 for a 20 minute speech. Screw you pantsuit.
If any whitey has ever been privileged .......
Enough white Americans don’t realize the democrats have entered phase two.
They think they have flooded us with enough illegals and Muslims who vote racially, that the open war against white America can now commence.
With the aid of many foolish Americans, they may be right.
What do you mean we sucker?
That this boorish hag even gets traction in this country is an indication of the failure of our culture. We (as a people) have to do better than this.
If I had “white privilege” I’d be able to put this traitorous, criminal hag in prison.
Like Frau Hillary, I am “dead broke” and have NO white privilege.
at this late date, why is there a Hillary?
We are therefore forbidden to recognize our efforts, our work, or the same concerning our parents.
That millions of people are so ignorant that they fall for her deceit, is a tragedy. (Or maybe it's a triumph. A triumph of the influence Democrats have had over the public school system for decades - depends hot you look at it.)
My white ass has had the privilege of being displaced of the quality job I had by libertard regulations and unfettered illegal immigration into California. Thanks Hitlery, I never had it so good.
Give all the money you and Bill got from Wall Street speeches sense they put Bill in the White House
You and Bill should give the money you got to the United Negro College Fund.
Talk about PLAYING INTO TRUMP’S HANDS.
Makes me wonder if Hillary’s on Trump’s payroll.
Go screw yourself hitlary.
