Hillary Clinton to deliver major speech on racism

In a high-profile speech in Harlem on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton is expected to address the issue of systemic racism, and offer solutions for how to break down the barriers that hold back African American families.

The speech is part of Clinton’s effort in recent days— as she closes in on the South Carolina primary and turns her attention toward more diverse March states — to show that she views racism and discrimination as stand-alone problems in American in need of their own solutions. Her approach appears designed to highlight the contrast with her chief rival Bernie Sanders, who so far in his campaign has mainly addressed racism through the lens of economic inequality.

In her speech, which she is scheduled to deliver after a closed-door meeting with Rev. Al Sharpton, National Urban League President Marc Morial and NAACP President Cornell Brooks earlier in the day, Clinton is expected to call for “new investments in job creation to ending redlining to ensuring equal pay for women of color to ending the school-to-prison pipeline,” according to a campaign aide.

Clinton’s first major policy speech of her campaign last spring — delivered after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody — was about ending the era of mass incarceration. But her latest remarks on the topic come as the wounded Democratic front-runner puts a renewed focus on race as the primary moves into more diverse states like Nevada and South Carolina.

In recent days, she has campaigned with Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights hero, and rolled out endorsements from African-American religious leaders in Flint, Michigan, who lauded her for visiting the city in crisis and bringing national attention to the plight of its largely African-American community.

We are so screwed as a nation.

If you are a specific demographic, and you vote Democrat...Illegal aliens, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, gays...you will get the promise of special, favored treatment during election years.  The "system", the "history", the "heritage" of the country will be to blame.

And you will get some crumbs of favored treatment, enough to anger anyone who isn't on the receiving end.  But never enough to make any difference to you, your grievances will not ever be truly satisfied, your situation will never actually improve, your discrimination, your poverty, your ostracism will never truly be ended.  But you will vote the way your benefactor wishes.

Yep. Give a man a fish v. teaching him to fish.

She thinks I believe that she can get the BLM crowd to do that. She may have a tiger by the tail, my take on them is that they want all the white mans stuff, have white herded off to the camps to die except for the ones they need to make stuff,  get free govt money for life, and be immune from all criminal prosecution. Basically becoming the royalty class.

Not sure if she can satisfy them or not. I do hope though that her and Bern get into a pandering contest to win the primary, because the more she gives in to them, the more she will tick off the working/earning class who are a far bigger majority

I don't know how she gets away with doing that?  I would be insulted by it.

[NavyCanDo]

Going to dust off her, "I Ain't Nowheres Tared" speech?

You know why you never see many Media interviews with BLM activists? They share the same racist outlook as the KKK. Listening to one of these clowns speak is pretty eye opening. They are exactly the same sort of racist scum in a different skin color.

You mean like  the cultural discouragement of intellectual and educational excellence in their community, the celebration of rampant criminality, the the acceptability of generations of 1 parent families on welfare? Those sort of barriers?

No of course not. This is a Clinton on the campaign trail. It will be pure pandering without a shred of intellectual honesty or accuracy.

Her accent is a cross between Farina and Stymie from

She should wear a black leather pantsuit with gold chains and have some Hip Hop music blaring in the background.

I guess doing all that while in black face would be to much to ask?

Exactly. Bigotry is pretty ugly, no matter the source.
