Hillary, And Some Blacks Blind Support

I can't understand this misplaced blind loyalty a lot of black people have for the Clintons. What did Bill Clinton do as President to help blacks? If blacks who are supporting Hillary (and this includes some Hillary boot lickers in the congressional black caucus) would take off the rose colored glasses, stop romamcticizing about how great the Clintons are, and take a good honest look at the Clinton Presidency's history toward blacks. Then the blacks who are blindly supporting Hillary would see what the Clintons really did to help.

Here are a few ways the Clintons helped blacks. While running in 1992, candidate Bill Clinton left the campaign trail to personally sign the death warrant, and oversee the execution of Ricky Ray Rector, a young black man in Arkansas. Rector was sentenced to death for killing a police officer in 1981. Rector shot himself in the head after killing the officer, and became retarded with an IQ of around 70. Before being put to death Rector asked if he could save his dessert until after his execution.

And then there's Haiti. Candidate Clinton promised political refuge for Haitians fleeing their poor country. This was a promise President Clinton had no intentions of keeping. The day after taking office he revoked that campaign promise. President Clinton said the reason for breaking his promise was that there were to many new blacks coming into the U.S. from Haiti.

Bill Clinton also helped blacks with the 1994 crime bill. Which took money from education to build hundreds of new prisons. Clinton helped with the three strikes law. Now there are many people across this country severing life for stealing candy bars. This statement is not to imply blacks commit more crimes than other groups, but to say that blacks more likely to be convicted of crimes. And please, let's not forget the differences in the sentencing penalties of power verses crack cocaine. Power cocaine users, mostly whites, get sentenced to rehab. Crack cocaine, precieved to be possessed mostly by blacks, get sentenced up to life in prison. A stroke of a pen by Bill Clinton could have changed that stupid difference in sentencing.

And of course there's Rwanda. This is the saddest of all help Clinton gave blacks here and in Africa. Over 800,000 slaughtered in a few months in 1994. While the "first black President" watched, and did nothing to stop the bloodbath. Of course he was up for re-election in '96, and I am sure he did not want to anything that might hurt his chances (say,.. like maybe stop the mass killings of black people) He did later send troops to Yugoslavia (which was the right thing to do).

And now Hillary Clinton is being very helpful by calling the only black man whose ever had a decent chance of being elected President "naive and irresponsible". I am sure Hillary only said these things out of concern for the safety and security of the country. It's only a coincidence that this particular black man is the biggest threat to her becoming the party's nominee for President in '08. She's not just playing into some of the country prejudices, and stereotypes that black people are "naive and irresponsible".
This is just a sample of what the Clintons did to help black people. Not only in America but around the world.
