Former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, got
into a heated argument with Black Lives Matter protestors at
a Philadelphia rally, in support of his wife, Hillary
Clinton, who is a candidate in the current American
presidential election [Former
U.S. President Bill Clinton Gets Into Argument With Black
Lives Matter Protestors At Rally (Videos)]. Black
Lives Protestors challenged the former head of state on his
1994 crime bill that placed many African-Americans in
prison. Clinton responded that the bill was necessary to
stem the number of crimes being committed in America. He
made reference to black on black crime stating, "You are
defending the people who kill the lives you say matter."
Bill Clinton arguing with Black Lives Matter protestors at rally for his wife, presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton
Clinton has now backtracked on his comments,
"I did something yesterday in Philadelphia I almost want to
apologize for. I realized, finally, I was talking past her
the way she was talking past me. We gotta stop that in this
country. We gotta listen to each other again. I rather
vigorously defended my wife, as I am wont to do."...

As stated in the article [Former
U.S. President Bill Clinton Gets Into Argument With Black
Lives Matter Protestors At Rally (Videos)], in the
1990s Hillary Clinton referred to young black men as "super
predators" and further stated "we must bring them to heel."
I agree there is a problem with crime in the black
community. Many angry, young black males have committed
violent crimes. However, there is also a problem with crime
in white communities as well. Many school shootings that
resulted in mass casualties in America, have been committed
by angry young white males. My point is crime happens
everywhere, all over the world, in acts committed by many
races. From a governmental standpoint it is best to look at
the crimes and not the color of the perpetrators when
assessing how best to lower crime rates. Once again, law and
order via a strong justice system is important, but it must
treat people of all races fairly.
Side Bar: you know who's a "super
predator" Hillary, your husband's willy (penis). Your
husband's willy has been killing vaginas all up and down the
east and west coast of America. The people at Viagra
probably originally thought of naming their drug Bill
Clinton, but knew they couldn't get the trademark. Yea, I
said it (LOL).

Bill Clinton 'almost' apologizes for arguing with Black Lives Matter protesters
April 9, 2016 8:35 AM - Former president
Bill Clinton on Friday offered an "almost" apology for a
testy back-and-forth with Black Lives Matter protesters who
disrupted a campaign event in Philadelphia over his and his
wife's support for anti-crime policies in the 1990s that
have disproportionately affected African Americans.
But unlike on Thursday, when he defended his
signing of the 1994 crime bill and Hillary Clinton's support
for tough punishment to deal with what she called "super
predator" juvenile offenders, Bill Clinton, according to NBC
News, acknowledged Friday that some provisions of the
legislation that called for longer prison sentences for
minor offenses "cannot be justified." The legislation has
been cited for accelerating the incarceration rate for black
and Latino people, as well as ushered in policies that have
led to overly aggressive policing in some communities of
color. Criminal justice reform, a focal point of the Black
Lives Matter movement, has become a major issue in the 2016
presidential campaign.
"I did something yesterday in Philadelphia I
almost want to apologize for," Clinton told a crowd of
several hundred at Penn State Behrend in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Referring to a young woman who challenged him at the
Philadelphia event, Clinton said: "I realized, finally, I
was talking past her the way she was talking past me. We
gotta stop that in this country. We gotta listen to each
other again." He also sought to explain his response to the
protesters by saying, "I rather vigorously defended my wife,
as I am wont to do."...
