Clinton makes potentially risky comment about worries of black grandmothers

Borderline racist? This is absolutely accurate, and I'm sure black people know exactly what she's talking about.

Clinton: 'My worries are not the same as black grandmothers'

What is borderline racist about it? It's absolutely true. African-American parents and grandparents have far more to be worried about when it comes to mistreatment by law enforcement

Her grandchildren ARE white. And that DOES advantage them. This is like trying to argue that a white person supporting BLM because they disagree with the unequal treatment of people of color by law enforcement is racist of the white person.

She's exactly right. Charlotte and Aidan Clinton-Mezvinsky will not face the fear of mistreatment by law enforcement that many African-American children face

So it roughly translates to: "because my grandchildren are white, they will get in less trouble with the law." Congrats, Clinton, you've just created a new Trump atrack: "Crooked Hillary Clinton is so racist that at a black church she actually said "because my grandchildren are white, they will get in less trouble with the law." She is saying that Blacks are criminals! Vote for me, what do you have to lose ?!?

Black people aren't dumb like you seem to think they are. They know what she means (and it's exactly what she said). To try to spin this as if Clinton is implying that "Blacks are criminals!" is... wowza, that's a stretch I don't think Gumbi could even manage.

If anything, this thread gives me hope for humanity. One dumb assertion, and countless "that's not right" appeals to intelligence in response. Thanks, Atlas.
