"No one's ever asked me before!"

Seriously. No one, anywhere, has ever ever asked Hillary about the shitty policies of the 90s that destroyed African American communities?

No one? Ever?

So, we have two options. She's either extraordinarily coddled from how her policies affect people.

Or she's a liar.

Neither of them recommend her as a President.

2. I think that Hillary has amazing memorization abilities.

She can probably read something once and remember it, she probably remembers anything she's coached to say after one run-through.

But in a situation like this where she has to think on her feet and gets a surprise question, she's at a loss. Robot? Maybe.

3. I'm going with "completely removed from reality".

Since she is running her campaign as if millennials don't exist, and her worldview is still stuck in the 20th century, completely removed from reality seems to follow a consistent pattern with Clinton.

6. It is a figure of speach

intended to say "you shouldn't question the reputation I claim for being a "friend" to AA's"

Like everything else- Hillary is relying on a propped up image that her actions have been counter to.
AA's are calling her on this but it may be too late to counteract the media that still sells the fake image.

7. So why didn't she let the girl stay and answer the question?

Why did she let men put their hands on that girl and push her out of the room after Hillary said she'd address her question?

9. She promised to get to that answer. Did she? After she let her detail take her away?
