Bill Clinton: BLM is defending murderers and drug dealers

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Bill, it's 2016, you're supposed to hide the fact that you're a racist.

Considering what the crime bill (which then Representative Sanders voted for) did, this is accurate.

Crime went down because of leaded gas being banned, not because of the terrible 1994 bill.

The full clip is at the bottom. Maybe this is a lesson that we shouldn't rely on the Weekly Standard for unbiased reporting of Bill Clinton.

It doesn't change that what he said was terrible. I just picked the first article in Google news. Here's another link.

Are we really comparing the actions of a random Sanders supporter, totally unaffiliated with his campaign, to Hillary Clinton's husband who was giving a speech at one of her rallies?

You missed that point, completely. I'm talking about people like the OP posting as if they are so offended by racism, yet are always silent over the sort of racism that exist among their own group. It's selective outrage.

What racism are you talking about?

But more to the point, Bill Clinton is absolutely right. Most of the shootings that occur in black neighborhoods in big cities are committed by blacks, yet Black Lives Matter seems to focus mostly on police shootings. If not for the crime bill there would be even more crime in black neighborhoods. There were black members of Congress who voted for that bill, because it really was necessary.

Banning leaded gasoline is what actually reduced crime.

Bill confirms that he is in reality a tame dixiecrat.

And he didn't in 2008?

Hillary supporters are pretending everything changed since 2008.

The bill was to punish people for being criminals. Not to punish people for being Black.

Literally the only ones equating Black people with criminals are the BLM activists, who seem to think that all Black people are criminals, and thus an anti-crime bill is an attack on all Blacks.

If you did your research you would realize that the bill disproportionately imprisoned blacks in the 90s. This was Clinton's attempt to look "tough" and bring the super predators to heel.

Please find me the language in the bill that explicitly targets blacks, or even a single quote from the Clintons that explicitly (not made-up voodoo racism like "she said superpredators and meant blacks!") targets blacks.

We can start with minimum mandatory sentencing variations for specific types of drugs that had known disparities in usage by race.

And Bill did just mention crack today.

You're scaring Democrats off from defending Bill here.

Who cares. The 20 year old blue collar Clinton '96 voter is probably a damn Trump voter today. They didn't leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left them.

Too bad Clinton didn't leave.

This may have killed the blm movement.   If a former dem president  ( a popular one) is slapping you down.

bill clinton has always been vocally anti-blm (read: garbage), this isn't gonna change anything lol

Yes, Ricky Ray Rector's life obviously didn't matter to Bill.

Now he says the one remaining bigotry is people who don't talk to each other. I think even Trump isn't this tone deaf.

It's amazing how BLM outlived its usefulness for all the Hillary hacks to use it as a weapon to try to imply that Bernie had a race problem. They never gave a sh**t about BLM.
