I just can't believe Bill & Hillary Clinton

I know politics are politics and it’s a dirty game. I understand that to be president most will do anything to get there. However, Hillary Clinton’s comments about Lyndon B. Johnson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are inexcusable to me. What Hillary fails to realize is that Dr. King and many others did not fight and die for the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When that bill passed it didn’t change racism in America. Racism didn’t change in 1965 with the passing of the Voters Rights Act and it still didn’t change when they passed the Civil Right’s Act again in 1968.

Hillary behaves as if racism was over with in the 1960’s. If that is the case, then why are there so many black men in prison today? You could say that it’s because they broke laws and you would be correct. But the fact that black men go to prison quicker and for longer periods of time than any other race is proof of only one thing. Racism, the foundation on which this country was built, is still very real today.

I am most disturbed by the fact that I have never heard anyone say the things Hillary said about Dr. Martin Luther King and Lyndon B. Johnson. I am an 80’s baby born at the end of the Carter administration. In all of my years on this earth I have never heard those remarks made before. I even asked some of my elders who where coming of age in the 1960’s South and they have never heard comments such as those made by Hillary.

Hillary and Bill are playing a dirty race game and they’re trying to unify white people into getting behind them. I think there trying to get white voters to see that Barack Obama is like Dr. Martin Luther King. This will backfire on them, because they know there is nothing wrong with being compared to a man who is worthy of sainthood. However, they are doing it to spin the election into a discussion on race. That is slimy and they should be ashamed.

The dream that Dr. King talked about has not been realized. The dream is still a dream. Bill and Hillary are afraid of being on the losing end of that dream when Barack Obama is sworn in as the president of the United States of America.
