Black Lives Matter Exposes Hillary's White Privilege, Vile Reaction Follows

What were you going to do, Dr. King? Wave
a magic wand, transport to the mountaintop
and tell the world what you see? ... Ridicule,
a proven COINTELPRO technique. "[I]n every
instance careful attention must be given to the
proposal to insure the targeted group is disrupted,
ridiculed, or discredited through the publicity
and not merely publicized ... ."

Black Lives Matter to Hillary Clinton [02/24/16]: "I am NOT a Superpredator"

Hillary Clinton is desperate to compile superdelegates on the down-low even as this Party insiders' firewall is coming under attack by Clinton's former Secretary of Labor (and others) and Clinton's we'll-take-it-from-here delegate math is being exposed as an disingenuous, inside baseball ploy, (Hass, In These Times).

As the South Carolina Democratic Primary approaches, another #Black Lives Matter activist exposes Hillary's deplorable record on race (video below), and the resulting vile reaction from the Clinton campaign supporters on social media instructs and repulses, (Progressive Midwesterner).

In sum, Hillary Clinton and her supporters suck.

Are we really surprised Clinton spent the 1960s as a Nixon-Goldwater-Rockefeller Republican while Bernie Sanders worked as a civil rights activist?

Hillary, it's time to consider suspending your campaign before you inflict and injure the black community even more than you have during President Clinton's years in office.

Yes, I know Democratic Party prosecutors across the country as well raced to catch up to the Tommy Thompsons, Scott Walkers, ALEC crime bills and the prison-industrial complex.

But not everybody did.

Lose with Hillary Clinton

While Hillary Clinton spent the 1960s working to elect Republicans—Nixon (1960) Goldwater (1964) and Rockefeller (1968)—to the presidency, Bernie Sanders was a civil rights activists, a leader in Chicago of the Congress of Racial Equality working to desegregate housing, also attending the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Faced with these facts and Clinton's smearing of Sanders' civil rights record, the Chicago Tribune (Skiba) straightened out the record this weekend and released a photo from its archives of a young Sanders being arrested at a South Side civil rights protest occurring just weeks before the March on Washington.

No comment from the Clinton campaign who instead is smearing Sanders for proposing New Deal and Great Society initiatives that used to be the foundation of the Democratic Party's platform.

After spending the 1960s working for Republicans, Clinton worked briefly as counsel in 1974 for the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal. During her tenure on the Judiciary Committee, Clinton alienated several other young progressive attorneys with her "self-absorbed" manner as described by one counsel.

Clinton with her husband spent the 1970s and 1980s advocating a corporatist Democratic Party vis a vis a working families Democratic Party, an effort that grew to fruition during the Clinton adminstration.

Now Clinton is questioning Sanders' bone fides as a Democrat prior to mounting evidence Clinton would lose a general election.

Goldrick-Rab is also a frequent user of Twitter, and she only needed one tweet to make a compelling case for how Bernie is a more electable presidential candidate than Hillary Clinton:

It's not personal Hillary, the American people just don't trust and like you, (Bloomberg Politics).
