Clinton apologizes for 1996 remark on ‘super-predators’ after encounter with activist

[Vigilante]

She actually got something right, and now panders to the BLM movement for their votes!

Black voters are the linchpin of Hillary Clinton's strategy for winning the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary, and as a result, her campaign has put racial justice issues at the forefront of her agenda. But at an event on Wednesday night, Clinton was vocally confronted by an activist questioning her past support for policies that had a disproportionately negative effect on African Americans.

Ashley Williams, a 23-year-old activist from Charlotte, interrupted Clinton during a private fundraiser in Charleston on Wednesday night. Williams stood and demanded an apology from Clinton for the high incarceration rate for black Americans, and confronted her with the words of a speech Clinton delivered 20 years ago voicing support for the now-debunked [??]theory of "super-predators."

"They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators,'" Clinton said in 1996, at the height of anxiety during her husband's administration about high rates of crime and violence. "No conscience, no empathy, we can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel."

What's to apologize for? I detest Hillary and all her unholy works, but she was right then. There are some people who are predators and can't be reasoned with. There are some kids raised on the streets who are just that way and sooner or later they end up in prison or chalked off. They've existed in every society. We just tend to have more of them because of racial issues providing them with excuses and the narcotics trade providing them with opportunities.

Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, is now is going to be remade by Spike Lee. Called Clockwork Black. Black males pillage, loot and are ultimately redeemed by a mad bi-racial guy that brainwashes white people into believing ANYTHING in the name of diversity.

Clinton is only repeating what the FBI reports. I wish blacks would wake up and work to fix their problems instead of demanding everyone to ignore them.

Wow, Clinton apologizes for Black incarceration but not rape. Maybe next time.
