Bill Clinton got so mad when confronted with the truth about his record and rhetoric

[Cheese Sandwich]

"Super-Predators" theory was complete fiction made up to scare people into supporting excessive policing.

Bill's record over excessive policing, harsh sentencing, and ramping up the war on drugs.... he was confronted with all this by #BlackLives protesters and he reacted in the worst possible way.

He scolded them like children.



Even though he's already admitted in the past that his policies made things worse, when confronted with the protest he went straight back into his old 90s tough on crime rhetoric and scare tactics that caused the problem in the first place. It was disgraceful. A sad day for democrats and a sad day for America. This will go down in history as one of Bill Clinton's worst moments, and that's saying a lot, because he's already had some doozies. Bill should make a statement.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. Now what is badly needed is even more white people to explain to

whoever why they should or should not agree with what Bill said.

[Jitter65]

2. Hillary said "super predators" Bernie called the "sociopaths." There's that. nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

20. Superpredators are a pseudo-scientific fiction created by the right wing to scare people into

defending abusive and excessive policing and prison policies.

[JonLeibowitz]

3. White people can express an opinion on what is true and not in what Bill said.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

8. So you lived in those neighborhoods?

[JonLeibowitz]

9. No. But I haven't said anything about it. Nor do you know my race. Touchy touchy, are we?

[Jackie Wilson Said]

10. You could have said, "point taken"

[JonLeibowitz]

13. But I didn't. Last I checked we're still allowed to express an opinion on DU.

[katsy]

4. It's an op. It's why we're here. To discuss.

To give a pov.

No one is explaining anything. No one has a gun to anyone's head to make them read this.

No one is dictating how one should think, mansplaining or femmesplaining or notsplaining anything. It's an o p i n i o n. Are we still allowed one on DU?

[haikugal]

7. NO!! Of course not.... nt

Clinton mania..it's what's for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.

Didn't you hear, it's a war!

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. If you agree with Bill then just say so.

This would be a good place to share your opinion.

And you don't always know what race people are.

Anyways everyone should be concerned with racism. It's a big problem in America. This is a highly racist and authoritarian society.

[99Forever]

5. I'm. truly sorry....

...for all of the times I defended this creep.

[Cheese Sandwich]

14. Yes.

I agree with this big time. I just can't keep making excuses for this person. He some good things but it turned out to be I just can't .

[roguevalley]

17. you and me both

[ibegurpard]

6. He's apparently already made a statement

He made it worse.

[Punkingal]

11. Yep, he did.

I shudder when I think how I used to love him and defend him.

[Cheese Sandwich]

16. I haven't seen it. He really should talk and explain what he meant.

Does he still think super-predator is a valid way to describe people?

It's going to be kind of hard because he'll be up against reality.

[silenttigersong]

15. Wow

He really looks vicious.

[geek tragedy]

18. that does it, I'm not voting for him nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

19. You're voting for him to be back in power, as a top adviser to the president,

an intimate adviser in the sense of being closer than any other person, he'll likely have a lot of influence.

He'll worry about defending his legacy.
