After
a grueling 24 hours on the campaign trail, Hillary yesterday took the rest of
the week off to rest and prepare for the first presidential debate with Donald
Trump next Monday night.
She
had not abandoned campaigning entirely.
Taking a page from Trump, Hillary called in to the Steve Harvey morning
show in the wake of the Tulsa, OK, shooting.
A police officer, who happened to be a white female, (40-year-old
Officer Betty Shelby) shot and killed an unarmed black man (40-year-old Terence
Crutcher) during a traffic incident. The
matter is still under investigation, but the incident played into the Black
Lives Matter narrative.
Always
careful never to throw gasoline onto the fire unless it servers her purposes,
Hillary sought to burnish her fading image in the black community through the
Harvey show. She spoke more or less as
follows:
"We
have got to tackle systemic racism… This horrible shooting again. How many times do we have to see this in our
country…..This is just unbearable, and it needs to be intolerable."
"And maybe I can, by speaking
directly to white people, say, 'Look, this is not who we are,'" "We have got to do everything possible
to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias."
This
is not the first time Hillary has spoken of the need for her to have a word
with white people about their racism. At
the NAACP convention earlier this year, Clinton said:
"We white Americans need to do a better
job of listening when African-Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers
you face every day. We need to recognize
our privilege and practice humility, rather than assume our experiences are
everyone's experiences,"
Perhaps a black audience is used to being spoken to directly
as a race, but to a white man’s ears it is jarring to listen to Hillary speak in
my name on behalf of the race that I belong to.
Hillary the Harpy is going to castigate me for this and
other police shootings because I happen to be of the same race as the police
officer involved? Am I guilty by
association on account of my race?
Since harridan Hillary is going to tell me who “we are” and who “we are supposed to be,” let me fill her in on some of my details. I am not one of the police officers involved
in these incidents. I have no say in how
police officers are trained or in the tactics they employ. I just pay my taxes and go about minding my
own business. I am not one of the
deplorables you think I am, and, frankly, I am offended by your presumption
even to speak to me about my alleged biases and my alleged privilege on the
basis that I am white. You have no right to
castigate me “one white person to another.”
Hillary is very, very careful to make sure that at the
latest act of radical Islamic terrorism Muslims as a whole are not painted with
the brush of suspicion. Yet here she is
doing the very opposite, holding the entire white race responsible for these
individual instances of police officers shooting black men while on police duty.
If Hillary wants to talk about changing police training and
tactics, fine. But the white race as
whole, of which I am a member, cannot be held responsible for possible
breakdowns or failures in police training and tactics in individual
instances. These are the responsibility of
the individuals involved, regardless of the race or gender they belong to.
When it comes to her, Hillary thinks that racism is “okay
for me, but not for thee.”
Evidently, Hillary thinks that much of the white race belong in
her basket of deplorables. Donald Trump
was right when he declared, “Hillary
Clinton is a bigot!”
