The expression super-predator precipitated a whole host of draconian policies aimed at black and brown children. Even absurd things like not allowing particular colors in elementary school classrooms (in LA County). If you forgot or what not paying attention this is what happened at the time http://youthrights.org/research/library/scapegoating-of-youth/ (go down and put a search on Clinton). It became so absurd that killer bees became a stand-in for black and brown youth and the metaphor was not disguised.
You can also use this pdf from the Aspen Institute http://www.aspeninstitute.org/sites/default/files/content/docs/pubs/Race-Crime-Punishment.pdf This is from Duke university there is a cached version so you could search out the quotes https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BbixoEGPnu8J:https://wiki.duke.edu/download/attachments/89916698/NOTE%2520AND%2520COMMENT_%2520YOUTH%2520MATTERS_%2520THE%2520NEED%2520TO%2520TREAT%2520CHIL.pdf%3Fapi%3Dv2+&cd=31&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Another good source that is available for free online is sociologist Mike Males site http://home.earthlink.net/~mmales/ which links to several of his books attempting to deconstruct this horrifying popularized during the Clinton administration

And yes she was part of this. So thank you for posting

when she first see's what the banner says...is...priceless.

Looks like wherever this was held it was a pretty swanky place...long spiral staircase and all, probably not a middle class establishment, so I assume from the reaction they certainly didn't expect anything like this. It also appears as though all the diversity in the room exited with the BLM protester.
