Hillary's long list of racist comments should disqualify her from the Democratic nomination

[Cheese Sandwich]

Sometimes it seems Hillary is trying to out-Trump Trump over who can be more politically incorrect.

A racial joke about Indian Americans working at gas stations. Very funny?

Super-Predators. Got to bring them to heel.

Casual racist comment toward Native Americans: She can handle men who get "off the reservation". So very casual it's clearly the way she thinks, it runs very deep.

Calling undocumented people "illegal". Throws in sterotypes of foreigners hanging out on the corner waiting to do "yard work" etc. These comments are Widely understood to be offensive toward Latinos. Hillary has since apologized and promised to stop talking like this.

Speaking of Iraqi Arabs as if they are children who need to learn we're only doing them a favor.



Joining in with a scripted racial joke about Colored People Time

Is there any race or ethnic group Hillary Clinton hasn't had to apologize to? Somebody should make a checklist on which of these comments she has already apologized for and which ones we are still waiting for an apology.

This is garbage. Not at all presidential. This list is just another reason Hillary Clinton ought to be disqualified from the Democratic nomination.

[JaneyVee]

1. Only rightwingers would call her racist:

http://nypost.com/2000/03/06/hillary-rips-rudy-on-nypd-in-wake-of-diallo-slaying/

[Scuba]

12. Only rightwingers would defend her racism.

[JaneyVee]

29. She has OVERWHELMING support from communities of color...

Apparently they can take a joke.

No wonder comedians dont perform at colleges anymore, the pc police have squashed free speech through microaggressions. I'll stick with the communities of color who OVERWHELMINGLY back her candidacy.

[still_one]

134. The 16th is just a few days away.........

[rock]

56. Only a RWer would say

"Only rightwingers would defend her racism." None of the ethnic groups implied in those jokes thought they were racist.

[leftynyc]

83. And another who

OBVIOUSLY thinks these minorities that are supporting her in huge numbers are just too freeking stupid to know better. YOU know better than they and should all bow down to YOUR superior wisdom. That about right?

[Scuba]

85. Hey, I'll say anything to get some free stuff.

[Octafish]

88. That should be its own thread.

Come to think of it, that should have its own forum.

[atomingai]

127. glorious

[atomingai]

129. let's not forget that the right have adopted quite a bit of Hillary's racial "approaches" that she

used against their beloved Obama during the 2008 primary.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, they project a lot instead of coming out and just saying they don't like non whites

[JonLeibowitz]

27. Bullshit.

[floriduck]

28. And I call her fake southern accent in the first clip patronizing. It's indicative of her morals.

[CorporatistNation]

107. Here Is Some More And One Very Important Video That Was Missed In The OP!

THIS Video is decisive...

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

[KingFlorez]

2. She is not the racist in the race

And she's not racially challenged like another person in the race either. She's not out there calling groups of people racist or pretending like one group of people doesn't know what it's like to be poor. Don't go there.

[tk2kewl]

9. "She's not out there calling groups of people racist or pretending like one group of people..."

"...doesn't know what it's like to be poor."

right. she leaves that up to her surrogates and paid trolls

[KingFlorez]

11. No

No Clinton surrogate has ever said anything this ridiculous http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-ghetto_us_56dce712e4b03a405679062b

[cali]

20. Not this year perhaps but do you really want to revisit 2008 where

she, Bill and many of her surrogates said far, far, far worse?

[TimPlo]

93. So you are one of those

Who lack in simple understanding of simple words.

From you article main point "Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said white people don’t understand what it’s like to be poor and live in the ghetto, in response to a question about the candidates’ racial blind spots"

And Sanders was right. Let us look at what the word ghetto means:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto
https://www.google.com/search?q=ghetto&oq=ghetto&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.568j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/ghetto

ghet·to
ˈɡedō/
noun
1.
a part of a city, especially a slum area, occupied by a minority group or groups.
verb
1.
put in or restrict to an isolated or segregated area or group.

Now as living in a place the word must be a noun and we see that it means "a part of a city, especially a slum area, occupied by a minority group or groups." I know some racist people think that Whites are a minority and live under the thumbs of those ruthless black people. I see clips of Fox news claiming this all the time.
So going by my assumption that you think whites are a minority. because you posted a link to a article trying to claim Sanders was wrong in saying Whites don't know what being in a ghetto means, I assume you agree with Fox News and think Whites are a minority race in America. Pleas prove me wrong and admit Sanders was right that White Americans have no clue what living in a ghetto means, as it is impossible for a White person to be a minority.

[Cheese Sandwich]

113. that's interesting but it's important to say stuff in a nice way too

[cali]

13. Calling Bernie racially challenged, though not as bullshit as the op

is still bullshit. And many duers who support Hillary have flat out called him a racist.

Neither are racists. Neither are racially challenged. Neither enable racists.

[reddread]

90. dream on

not to argue with you about bullshit, but
for practical purposes
classism and racism are the same thing.
and they are equally represented in people like
Hillary Clinton and all of her friends.

dont bullshit me.

Do I need to repeat the stories about Hillary's local buddy who
opened an upscale market with primarily mexican workers (an interesting choice)
and yelled at them, asking them incredibly rudely if they "spoke English"
and so much worse.
And that is her closest bestie in this town.
Sorry to generalize, but it is how those people roll.
hundreds of millions of dollars do not make you nice.

[uponit7771]

100. "when you talk about ghettos you usually think African American"

He's racially challenged no doubt

[Scootaloo]

139. Because segregation and systemic racism don't exist in US cities!

How nice to know.

[Cheese Sandwich]

25. But there is a documented pattern of casual racism that could get you fired from a lot of jobs

At least send to a sensitivity class.

[dbackjon]

123. And you have a documented history of trolling and lies

[zappaman]

125. !!!

[MADem]

3. Shall we counter with Sanders' many sexist comments and those of questionable taste?

Tip of the iceberg, right here:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/07/bernie-sanders-vermont-freeman-sexual-freedom-fluoride

Some of those views are, frankly, sick. That's why even the candidate himself disavows them.

[cali]

14. Oh bullshit. His piece, ill written as it was, wasn't sexist.

Neither Hillary or Bernie are bigots.

[MADem]

18. "Oh bullshit?" That's your opinion. I found them so.

I also found his views towards women, young girls and children in his essays patriarchal, backward and frankly, a bit twisted.

Since he has since disavowed them, I'd say he's probably closer to my opinion WRT them than yours.

4. Do you suppose your posts here are going to change

the outcome of the final round of primaries, Cheese Sandwich? Do you think these videos and your frequent posts of the Clintons standing with the Trumps at a wedding are going to convince anyone to vote in any way other than the way they intend?

It's puzzling to me. You're investing what is obviously a lot of work in posting all this stuff. Some of it gets hidden by juries, while other posts stay visible. But, none of them will affect even a single vote in the remaining primaries. This is DU. Look at the number of views your posts receive. A count shows up for each of your original posts. That's the total of people who see what you post.

Most have already voted or already know how they will vote. You're not influencing anyone, really. It seems like a waste of time to me, but it's your decision, of course.

[FSogol]

8. +100: "You're not influencing anyone, really. It seems like a waste of time to me"

[KingFlorez]

10. These people think that they actually are changing the delegate count by posting

It's sad.

[Cheese Sandwich]

65. Notice how you don't even attempt to defend Hillary's comments

Very telling

[KingFlorez]

67. What is telling is her high vote percentages among black voters

They are astronomical. She reaches out to black voters and listens to them. Clinton is no racist.

[TheFarS1de]

81. She listens ?

......others tend to disagree with your assessment .

[MADem]

22. Very good questions, those. What IS the point?

Dissent for the sake of dissent?

Maybe there's some sort of payoff, psychic or what-have-you. But changing hearts or minds? I don't think so. We're past that point.

[Cheese Sandwich]

32. So meta dude. Who says the purpose of DU is to convince people?

I thought the purpose was to express our emotions.

[MineralMan]

37. Meta? So what?

A lot of discussions here are meta discussions. Maybe even most. There aren't any rules against meta discussions. There is a rule against disruptive meta original posts, which can be locked by hosts.

The purpose of DU is to provide a place for political discussion from a Democratic or liberal perspective. Emotions? Sure, you can express those here if you wish. I don't care what you post, to tell you the truth, but I reserve the privilege of telling you what I think about what you post. That's what I've done here.

[Cheese Sandwich]

39. ok cool

thanks for the tips

[yardwork]

102. I don't read DU to hear about your emotions.

[Cheese Sandwich]

103. There's actually a way that you can make all the unpleasant posts disappear.

[Bobbie Jo]

34. Time is short...

Tick tock, tick tock...

[MineralMan]

38. Yes, days.

There will be changes here. I hope they lead to a more productive sort of discussion that advances progressive goals. We'll see, once they're in place.

[Cheese Sandwich]

[Number23]

122. I only posted that two weeks ago. As punctual as you are pertinent!

[cali]

5. I'm sorry but this is repulsive

Hillary Clinton is not a racist. Those quotes don't prove racism. I thought it was disgusting to insinuate that Bernie is racist.

This is just as bad.

[Splinter Cell]

31. She is depending on the audience.

Which may be even WORSE. Convenience racism.

[Cheese Sandwich]

118. That's an interesting way to look at it.

[Cheese Sandwich]

33. I didn't say she's racist. I said this is a pattern of racist comments.

[passiveporcupine]

78. Some of the older comments were made before it was politicallly incorrect to say things

that were commonly used phrases that originated as racist comments, but probably weren't meant that way any more by people who didn't stop and consider the origin of what they were saying. Things we all used to say that now we are trying to stop saying but sometimes they still slip out.

And the skit with DiBlasio was not intended to be racist. He would never participate or originate a racist post. It was a joke and he was joking about himself.

Yes, Hillary is apologizing today for some of the things she said years ago, but back then she didn't need to apologize. She wasn't the only one saying things like that. It was the way society was.

I agree with Cali, this is not right. I don't believe Hillary is racist.

[still_one]

144. Thanks cali. You are correct on both points

[NCTraveler]

6. She is not the racist running.

You should stop promoting it as such. And you continuing to equate Clinton to Trump is on you.

This last minute gasp of desperation using race on your part all while promoting Trump as her equal is disgusting.

[Cheese Sandwich]

42. OK but how do you account for this pattern of racist comments?

[NCTraveler]

43. Entitlement?

A willingness to openly talk about race issues for decades while learning the whole time?

I don't kid myself in thinking she simply gets it. I do know she has been learning her whole career and isn't scared to listen to or talk to anyone.

If the AA community was one and done like Sanders supporters they would have no one. Perfection doesn't exist.

And to be perfectly clear, some of this is taken out of context. Pure deception and using race to divide. That is the issue we should be having with the op on a progressive board. They are using deception with respect to race in order to divide progressives.

[Cheese Sandwich]

44. For me it's too much. It's just a clear record of shitty racial comments.

[NCTraveler]

47. You have made that abundantly clear.

[Cheese Sandwich]

61. Thanks. Sometimes it doesn't seem the messages are getting thru

[NCTraveler]

62. Everyone has gotten your message and understands the direction you come from.

You should have no concerns about that.

[Cheese Sandwich]

70. thank you it's good to feel understood.

[insta8er]

7. Cut it out! she just mis-spoke. (sarcasm)

48. This might actually convince some of them to vote for Hillary

[uponit7771]

16. Only stupid, bastard ass'd racist think the term Super Predators are exclusive to any ethnicity.

[Cheese Sandwich]

19. Many well known African American scholars & leaders have commented on the "super-predator" language

For example Michelle Alexander has said

In her support for the 1994 crime bill, for example, she used racially coded rhetoric to cast black children as animals. “They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” she said. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”

source

And Ta-Nahesi Coates has said

Since the days of slavery, into the days of super-predators, and now the time of the Knockout Game, there has always been a strong need to believe that hordes of young black men will overrun the country in a fit of raping and pillaging. It's how we justify ourselves. Information can't compete with national myth.

source

Ben Jealous has said

The superpredator idea was this notion that a child at age six months could be such a sociopath as to be beyond redemption. And it’s a violation of theology, it’s a violation of basic psychology. It was never used, as far as I know, to describe anyone white. It was always used sort of to describe young black men as a mass. And it made life very tough for us. And it helped push in bills, quite frankly, that have led to the biggest spike in the incarceration of women that we have seen—of, typically, black women.

source


Anybody who remembers the 80s and 90s will remember the racial undertones of the tough on crime political language that was used to justify all the racist policing and incarceration.

In conclusion that is why super-predator language is racist.

[uponit7771]

23. Irrelevant, only stupid, small animal loving, mentally lazy dumb ass's think the term is exclusive..

... to any ethnicity.

[hellofromreddit]

35. I think you could strengthen your argument by adding more insults to it.

e.g.,

Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it ever so much more rapidly. If cluelessness were crude oil, your scalp would be crawling with caribou.

You are a thick-headed trog. I have seen skeet with more sense than you have. You are a few bricks short of a full load, a few cards short of a full deck, a few bytes short of a full core dump, and a few chromosomes short of a full human. Worse than that, you top-post. God created houseflies, cockroaches, maggots, mosquitos, fleas, ticks, slugs, leeches, and intestinal parasites, then he lowered his standards and made you. I take it back; God didn't make you. You are Satan's spawn. You are Evil beyond comprehension, half-living in the slough of despair. You are the entropy which will claim us all. You are a green-nostriled, crossed eyed, hairy-livered, goisher kopf, inbred trout-defiler. You make Ebola look good.

21. "when you talk about ghettos traditionally, what you're talking about is African-American..."

[cali]

40. Want to go there? Then let's go back to Hillary's dog whistle campaign of 2008

That was bad.

She's not a racist.

She is someone who will do or say anything for political expediency.

[uponit7771]

51. She's made amends, Sanders? tia

[imari362]

54. Do tell, what "amends" has she or Bill made?

I've never heard and apology....can you link to those "amends"?

I am not talking about her supporting him in the GE or being his SOS, all that was part of her plan for this run for President.

I want to see her apology to President Obama and the entire Black community.

P.S. Just because the word "ghetto" is not "pc" anymore, doesn't mean that it's still not a "ghetto, traditionally".....an 74 yr old White man uses an outdated word, "he's putting down Blacks".....a White woman in her 60's uses an outdated word "illegals" and "so what".

[uponit7771]

57. being there good and bad... Sanders? NO? well, there it is then

[imari362]

No "amends" from Hillary, just her supporters being her supporters

Accordingly, anti-Zionism is one thing, anti-Semitism another. They are separate. To say they are separate is not to say that they are never connected.

By sailors in the Ocean Sea
Which had never before been seen, and never heard about ...
A mountain of grated cheese
Is seen standing alone in the middle of the plain,
A kettle has been brought to the summit ...
A river of milk gushes forth from a cave
And goes flowing through the town
Its embankments are made of ricotta ...
The king of the place is called Bugalosso,
They have made him king because he is the laziest,
And from his arse manna comes forth
And when he spits, out come marzipans,
Instead of lice, he has fish in his head.
Who wants to travel there, I shall tell him the way:
Go embark at the port of the simpleton,
And then navigate through the sea of lies,
Whoever arrives is king over every dolt.

89. I can't say what is in her heart...

and I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. As someone of mixed heritage, I've gotten it from all t sides during my lifetime, and while I realize that older Americans differ in what they find acceptable relative to younger Amerocans, I think we all can take some measure of satisfaction in that the needle has moved towards equality for all during the past 50 years. It's not perfect, nor is the struggle for equality over, but I think it devalues the sacrifices made by others to say nothing has changed.

While I disagree with HRC on economic and foreign policy in fundamental and perhaps irreconcilable ways, I don't think she's a racist. She may have some baggage that she came into the world with given the rank and privilege of her birth, but I believe she's tried to walk the righteous path WRT racial equality. Nobody is perfect, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on this issue.

JMHO.

May 20, 2007 Sunday


Clinton Accepts Aid From a Divisive Figure

BYLINE: By PATRICK HEALY; Katharine Q. Seelye and Katie Zezima contributed reporting from New Hampshire.


DATELINE: NEW ORLEANS, May 19

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, who has cast herself as an ally of African-Americans in rebuilding this city, this weekend accepted fund-raising assistance from a family friend who is controversial with many black and white victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The friend, Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish, has been close to former President Bill Clinton for many years, and he is popular among some Democrats here. But Sheriff Lee has a long history of making divisive and derogatory remarks, sometimes aimed at residents of neighboring New Orleans, which is predominantly black, and his relationship with many black political leaders is turbulent.
Sheriff Lee drew notoriety shortly after the hurricane when some of his deputies helped prevent hurricane evacuees, most of them black, from crossing the Crescent City Connection bridge into Jefferson Parish. Sheriff Lee defended the move, saying his office had ''a duty to protect our people.''

Sheriff Lee was a host committee member for a fund-raiser here Friday night for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign. The event, which the senator attended, was closed to the news media. A Clinton campaign spokeswoman declined to comment on Mrs. Clinton's views of Sheriff Lee's actions in 2005 or on his fund-raising support.

Phone messages left for Sheriff Lee were not returned. A Clinton adviser declined to discuss his role, citing the personal nature of his relationship with both Clintons.


Here are some shocking older posts on DU about this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5187587



-----

Harry Lee hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in May. Hillary Clinton was in attendance at the fundraiser.

Both Clintons are longtime friends of Sheriff Lee.

Lee passed away in October of last year. At his funeral, a letter from Bill Clinton commemorating Lee was read.

112. That guy is a huge asshole. It's a disgrace that Hillary is so politically close to him

[Beacool]

109. Cheese, give it up already.

Hillary will be the nominee. These types of posts only serve to cause divisions.

[Cheese Sandwich]

110. This list of comments really is something though.

Pretty sure this would at least get you sent to sensitivity training at most professional workplaces.

[BobbyDrake]

115. Is this supposed to win the primary for Bernie then?

I don't think it's going to work like you think it will.

[Cheese Sandwich]

117. Uh the primary is pretty much over so, no.

[brooklynite]

120. Is it old-timers day at the ballpark?

[XRubicon]

121. It's over

[That Guy 888]

138. Nothing is over until we decide it is!

Seriously, just because Clinton is the presumptive nominee, it doesn't mean that some of us think that the TPP is the "gold standard" of trade deals.

It doesn't mean that some of us don't think Clinton will start more wars than Sanders would have.

It doesn't mean that some of us don't think her policy half-measures have any more chance of getting passed by republicans than Sanders better policies.

It doesn't mean that some of us trust her to have the interests of the majority of the American people at heart.(most of our politicians don't)

It doesn't mean that some of us don't think she will try to get the republicans to agree to a "Grand Bargain" (in fact I think the only thing that will stop it is if the goppers are as sexist as they are racist)

I could keep going, but the point is some of us don't like Clinton's politics and it has nothing to do with Sanders, and everything to do with Clinton's horrible choices.

124. I can just imagine if Bernie would have wagged his finger at the young BLM activists as often as her

and Bill did. They would have crucified him. But for them I heard not a peep.

[azurnoir]

133. They did anyway -m remember the Seattle BLM incident was replayed almost daily

right through the Southern primary's with the claims of Bernie's racism and that of his supporters being ratcheted up accordingly

[chillfactor]

126. 7 more days....

and this kind of garbage will not be allowed.....YEAH!

[Yavin4]

128. Get it out of your system.

Get it all out. 5 days.

[RandySF]

131. .

[NanceGreggs]

135. Time is quickly running out ...

... on your opportunity to peddle this bullshit here.

Maybe it's time to start telling the consumers that you'll double their order of bullshit IF THEY ACT NOW! and throw in a handy leather-like traveling case, some wind chimes, and a set of Ginsu knives.

[still_one]

136. KICK & REC!!!!!!!!!

[NanceGreggs]

137. "Have your credit card number handy ...

... this offer is for a limited time only, and will NOT be repeated. Operators are standing by."

[still_one]

140. ROFL

[NanceGreggs]

142. Oh, you ROFL now ...

You won't be laughing when you realize you missed out on a FREE retractable wash-line complete with ten teeny-tiny clothespins. It packs away in its own carrying case, and can be used at home, while traveling, or while camping with the family.

Who's ROFLing now, smartass?

[senz]

143. The Thx Box?

Cool!

[Scootaloo]

141. As you can see, her supporters don't actually care.
