Flint, MI hasn’t had clean water since April 2014 but we still sending hundreds of millions worth of missiles to Syria!  Young people can’t afford education in this country but we bombing Syria. Healthcare is mad expensive, kids can’t have free school lunches, but we are taking INNOCENT lives in Syria. America should really just mind its own business instead of bombing a country that has FREE health service, FREE education and was perfectly fine without our invasion!

So um, let me get it straight - it is absolutely fine for white people to dress up as Native Americans, Egyptians, Geishas or do Black face for Halloween, but Santa can’t be Black? No, this is not how it works. “But Real Santa is white!” Santa Claus is a fictional character, he DOESN’T even exist! Now do me a favor and sit cho asses down, that grandpa is as adorable as one can be.

Clinton mastered the art of sending mixed cultural messages, appealing to African Americans by belting out “Lift Every Voice and Sing” in black churches, while at the same time signaling to poor and working-class whites that he was willing to be tougher on black communities than Republicans had been. Bill Clinton presided over the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history. Clinton did not declare the War on Crime or the War on Drugs—those wars were declared before Reagan was elected and long before crack hit the streets—but he escalated it beyond what many conservatives had imagined possible. He supported the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity for crack versus powder cocaine, which produced staggering racial injustice in sentencing and boosted funding for drug-law enforcement. Clinton championed the idea of a federal “three strikes” law in his 1994 State of the Union address and, months later, signed a $30 billion crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes, mandated life sentences for some three-time offenders, and authorized more than $16 billion for state prison grants and the expansion of police forces. The legislation was hailed by mainstream-media outlets as a victory for the Democrats, who “were able to wrest the crime issue from the Republicans and make it their own. When Clinton left office in 2001, the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Human Rights Watch reported that in seven states, African Americans constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders sent to prison, even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level in 1983. All of the presidents since 1980 have contributed to mass incarceration, but as Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson recently observed, “President Clinton’s tenure was the worst.

Every Black person supporting and voting for Hillary Clinton should watch this documentary. We must stop being politically immature by voting out of fear and tradition. We must awaken from this undying support and loyalty to the Democratic Party, our very survival depends on it.

“You all have the same great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great…grand-parent back then 280,000 years ago and she was a black female.”

When Bernie Sanders himself can go from “Hillary Clinton is unqualified to be President” all the way to “Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding President,” you know for a full fact that politics is totally bankrupt.
