I find myself torn about this story. On the one hand, finally we have an example of Hillary Clinton actually being a "fighter," refusing to take any of BLM's racist crap or be bullied and intimidated into ceding her collapsing campaign to them the way Martin O'Malley and especially Bernie Sanders have done. I'm almost tempted to giver her a hat-tip and kudos from across the aisle, even though this can, in a general election sense, only help her candidacy.
Hillary to BLM: "If that is your position then I will talk only to white people about how we are going to deal with the very real problems."
On the other hand, BLM pretty much IS "black America," and Mrs. Clinton telling them to go pick cotton instead of bowing and curtseying and exclaiming, "Yes, massah, anything you say, massah" isn't exactly going to ingratiate her with minorities and the rest of the Nutroots that already can't stand her and want frantically out of the Hillary Trap. I can only conclude that Her Nib is plowing ahead with the assumption that it's too late for anybody to seriously challenge her and she can take the support and votes of BLM and its followers for granted. What are they going to do, vote for Scott Walker?
Of course, they might just stay home, too. But apparently the Empress's regal imperious arrogance won out over any political calculation.
BLM reacted surprisingly only in the sense that they didn't cave in Hillary's skull with a brick:
Members of the group who met with [Mrs.] Clinton spoke about the experience during an interview on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show Monday night with Melissa Harris-Perry, who aired segments of the video.
Julius Jones said [Mrs.] Clinton “was ducking personal responsibility for the role that her and her family played” in laws pushed by the Bill Clinton administration that affected mass incarceration.
Daunasia Yancey also said the exchange served as a moment of reflection for [Mrs.] Clinton, adding, “her response really targeting on policy wasn’t sufficient for us.”
And you know what? It never could be, because only 246 years of blacks owning whites as slaves will even begin to satisfy BLM.
Jones and Yancey don't exactly sound - or look - like La Clinton Nostra shock troopers, do they?
