Scathing blog by 3 AA women titled: Black People don’t OWE Hillary Clinton SHIT!

I'll believe til my dying day that Prez Obama loathes HRC. She got SoS as Miss unCongeniality prize.

Check this out:

They have to put on a brave face, but you know they want Obama to endorse her before the convention and he's wisely staying mum. Making nice only goes so far.

Or maybe both

She rode Bill's smarts (Georgetown U, Yale Law) and talent (charisma, natural ability to connect with people) to power.

Wellesley, Yale Law School indicate that she was smart, but that's it. After law school, she went to DC to work on the Nixon impeachment committee, but didn't last long in DC because she didn't pass the DC bar.

So what did she do then... ran off to Arkansas! She chased after Bill because she recognized his rising star.

When she ran for POTUS in 2008, she cited her 20 years of experience. Really?! First Lady of AK for 12 years and FLOTUS for 8 years. And as corporate lawyer at the Rose Law Firm, she relied heavily on Vince Foster.

She could never have carpet bagged her way to the NY Senate seat had she not been FLOTUS. And her senate record is what? Aye votes for IWR, the Patriot Act and Bush's bankruptcy bill.

We all recall her abysmal management and nasty conduct of her 2008 primary campaign. Frankly, I was appalled that BHO chose her for SOS, but I think he'd been inspired by Lincoln's team of rivals and wanted to keep her busy and away. In so doing, she couldn't be a quasi backbencher sniping at him. In the end, though, she was awful. Honduras, Libya and Syria are a mess.

She is nothing without powerful men around or behind her, her experience is largely derived from having married Bill, and her judgment when she has power has been awful.

I have always been a Democrat and always voted for the ticket despite such things as Kerry's and Edwards' votes for IWR. In 2008, I had hoped BHO would be more like a 21st century FDR. But he disappointed by selecting former Clintonistas and Wall streeters to cabinet and advisory positions.

Now we are expected to anoint HRC. Hell no, she's in it for herself, she plays sexist gender politics, she lies about her alleged record and changes her mind with the political winds, and she is the worst sort of Democrat... a founder of the DLC and a triangulator to her core. I won't hold my nose this go round. We need Bernie!

So what did she do then... ran off to Arkansas! She chased after Bill because she recognized his rising star.

She had been punting marriage with Bill for some time, but then failed the bar exam in DC.

From Wiki:
After failing the District of Columbia bar exam[62] and passing the Arkansas exam, Rodham came to a key decision. As she later wrote, "I chose to follow my heart instead of my head".[63] She thus followed Bill Clinton to Arkansas, rather than staying in Washington, where career prospects were brighter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton

Yes, she probably was following his bright star, but I think she was also running from her own failure...rather than try to pass the exam again, and end up in a better job, she quit and followed Bill and married him. Her heart didn't choose him until things got tough (her easy ride was over) and she didn't want to fight it out. She quit on herself.

I suspect he pities them.

And I'm glad reading the OP that people noticed the shift in White House/State Department relations after Hillary left.

I guess he just steers clear of the negativity as much as he can, anyway.

But H was better than Albright

The fact that they are not on DU posting OP after OP does nothing to diminish the significance of this for me.

TY in advance.

Hattip to my boy Ice Cube



And given the quality of her haters, it's pretty apparent they hate her because she's much, MUCH smarter than they are.

And that she only comes here to troll. She admits it. That's why she only lasts a week or so between vacations.

Personally I feel sorry for her.

I feel sorry for her.

what a impression you have made...

by the way love ya you rock

And I am particularly amused by the folks that have crawled out of the woodwork to call bravenak a troll. I'm sure it's a coincidence that the vast majority of these folks were devoted fans of Manny Goldstein who absolutely DELIGHTED in antagonizing and dismissing black folks and women. He'd say something offensive, get called out, apologize -- and then do the same shit again two days later.

Regularly antagonizing disenfranchised minorities with "satire" so dull and unfunny that even Carrot Top would roll his eyes? Wins you the undying affection of tons of DUers.

Be a black poster that dares to discuss black opinion that makes a large number of the folks in the afore mentioned group INCREDIBLY uncomfortable because it dashes the notion that they have the first clue what the fuck they're talking about re: racial issues in this country? Public Enemy Number 1. No wonder she wears their hate with such aplomb.

by the way love ya you rock

I feel exactly the same.

bravenak is a class act I don't know how she does it? I guess they don't want to hear anything a strong black woman like bravenak has to say.

?w=640



Great piece. So glad she isn't fooling everyone!!

I believe there was a reason he had to vote for it or lose something important, you know how the jag-wagons build bills in DC.

Anyhow, and even if he did, I hear some Black citizens saying Bernie's the lesser of two evils. I didn't see an endorsement of him at that website, not that there isn't one somewhere in there.

Many black people think the Clintons (and Dems!) are execrable in their preying on the community to further their own desires.

My point is you can not use it against the Clinton's and excuse Bernie's vote. You can't. in my opinion Bernie Sanders is NAIVE in thinking he can get all these campaign promised passed.

I'm not black, those three women are. They've tallied it up and laid it out as regards the Clintons, and I saw no endorsement of Sanders.

Sanders denounced the bill in 1994. He called it a punishment-of-the-poor bill. Clinton railed against "super-predators." Too bad she doesn't think that way about the Wall Street predators.

He voted for it because it contained a provision of the Violence Against Women Act. The funds were urgently needed.

Again, that is how it works with bills. You may continue being obtuse for all the good it will do you.

That was foolish of me. I'm a jerk.

Sorry!

Cuz that's HOT.

Not to mention the way HRC talked about Obama in 08. Tried to insinuate he was real Other—all the way to, wink, wink Muslim.

It always seemed to me that Obama made her SOS in the name of keep your enemies close (put her in the Cabinet) but make sure they're busy and out of a lot. It was a way to help her save face after losing to him, and to make peace with the DNC etc.

Well, TaNehesi Coates just endorsed Bernie in the last week. He sees, he says, that Bernie's economic program will be better for AA's. He wished it went further and included reparations—but he's for Bernie.

don't owe it to Sanders supporters to not vote for Hillary if that's what they want to do.

Heh.

Excellent rant!

Good Read...

Get THEE to the Greatest Pages, for fuck's sake...

My vote is based on issues and I think most black voters have the same view. And I certainly have not seen any evidence of this notion that Clinton believes that she is owed black votes.

I mean, what in the world does that phrase mean? What is idea based upon?

Clinton's firewall States.......

Public polling has shown that she performs well with black voters and I imagine that her internals show the same thing. Having a firewall (if it's possible) is part of campaign strategy.

because someone made a list of 7-8 major constituencies they though she would do strongly with- or belonged to her. Translated here as "Clinton owns blacks". You can't make this shit up.

you'd see plenty of evidence the Clintons think they are owed, and they even attempt enforcement of that debt!

This is one reason why they are disliked even by those who vote for them.

telling it like it is. yeah this might be an offensive term but it's what one would call a bitch slap from fellow women . Cat Fight? except Hillary wants one but doesn't know it. Because she lives in a bubble and people are having longer memories. Maybe it's because of the net or whatever but wow. that one needs to be shared a bit. the CBC is gonna end up like irrelevant if they keep endorsing candidates that people don't agree with.

assumes they will fall in line.

It's her narcissistic sense of entitlement, again. People are objects and they better line up and vote as I wish.

These young ladies are paying close attention.

she is so much more competent than Obama.

Do I think the Clintons will be able to keep from tearing down Obama? No.

I remember when she went to Congress to talk about her candidacy and the comments from women in Congress which while lauding Clinton were rather negative to Obama.

Cuz they are begging AAs to abandon Sanders (and their future, IMHO).

Neither Clinton has done a single thing to help PoC,
and many things that have directly hurt them.

....but Bill is smooth,
Hillary....not so much.

💯

:kick:

The ugly truth, the shit people do in their manic grasping at power.

rec'd

Hillary EARNS their support, and many thoughtful and rational people are eagerly giving their support to her.



Go, Hillary!
