Only for those who can hear it. It's out of range for those of us who aren't obsessed with race.

Even after Black activists basically shove it in her face?

BLM: 'super-predators.' No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about how they got that way but first we have to bring them to heel," is racist as hell.
Shillary: I don't see race.
Hillary: "Can I talk and then maybe you can listen to what I say. Do you want to hear the facts or do you just want to talk... OK, back to the issues."

"back to the issue." Golly, a Hillary supporter not see her racism as "an issue."

I understand now why you are a fan of someone who said that "inner city kids" are "superpredators" who need to be "brought to heel."

Protip: "inner city kids" is dog whistle for African Americans.

Are you aware of which candidate that African Americans are overwhelmingly voting for?

Protip: Sanders has pulled the racially stupid "All lives matter" a whole lot more recently than the 30 year old twisted dishrag of an example that you're trying to claim is racist. (Clinton said gang members were superpredators, not "inner city kids", if you actually read the entire sentence, not your quotemines.)

Oh dear, time to reply with facts:

"[W]e also have to have an organized effort against gangs, just as in the previous generation we had an organized effort against the mob. We need to take these people on. They are often connected to drug cartels. They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators.' No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about how they got that way but first we have to bring them to heel...."

Damn that is some racist dog whistle stuff aint it?

Facts? Did you miss the highlighted?

So based on the quote you posted (presumably from Hillary), when you hear the terms "gangs", "kids" and "super-predators", the first thing you think about is black people? Ummm...OK, if that works for you, then go for it. Although it's a bit too racist for my taste.

Patent falsehood, shameful:

Now Hillary supporters are reduced to flat out lying for their Dear Leader.

I'll let the Black Lives matter activists know that another Hillary supporter does not agree with them, because it reflects poorly on the Dear Leader.

I really doubt they would want to speak to you, given your position on race.

Was that really just a "hillary is not the racist, YOU are!"

holy *********** crap....

The pro-Hillary crowd is really getting desperate.

Your selective snippets misrepresent what she said, per usual.

Thanks, yeah, that Hillary talking point has been made by several of her acolytes.

Repetition doesn't mean it ain't *********** nonsense.

You aren't aware of Sanders' past statements, are you? Odd, as you keep claiming to be such a supporter. Months before he "nailed the answer" in October, he was blowing off Black Lives Matter in August 2015 with "hundreds of mostly white people shouting what is essentially “All lives matter” at the black people who dare to attempt to be heard.".

So, about that flat out lying...

So, about that flat out lying...

Not to mention that Bernie Sanders dismissed a BLM activist who was calling for slavery reparations, calling such a thing "divisive".

Yeah, he's really "progressive".

You just moved the goal posts he never said "all lives matter". That is *********** ridiculous and another bald faced falsehood.

Stop posting utter falsehoods.

I'm done correcting these gross misrepresentations.

Looks that way, doesn't it?

I mean, when most people hear the terms "gangs", "kids" and "super predators" used together, they realize it could describe any number of races, religions, etc. Yet you immediately associate it with black people. Great.

Embrace your views, don't run away from them. But don't expect others to agree. Like I said, it's a little too racist for me, and I suspect, for most other people as well.

wow, the amount of wrong in that sentence is amazing.

The "blm activist" you are talking about is Ta-Nehishi Coates.

lets see what he said about Bernie:

"I will be voting for Sen. Sanders," said Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Say, lets see what Ta-Nehishi Coates says about Hillary, shall we?

"[T]he fact that a presidential candidate would imply that Jim Crow and Reconstruction were equal, that the era of lynching and white supremacist violence would have been prevented had that same violence not killed Lincoln, and that the violence was simply the result of rancor, the absence of a forgiving spirit, and an understandably 'discouraged' South is chilling," Coates charged.

/Man, you serve up 16.5 a soft ball and he slams it right out of the god damn park!

Except for the fact that I am directly repeating the accusations made by BLM.

Hillary and Dog Whistle Racism, She's been ready for years.

According to AP, Clinton is at 1,214 pledged delegates and Sanders is at 901 as of today. So he needs to win 57.3% of the remaining 2,157 to break even.

Someone used a Basketball game parallel: Hilary has built such a huge lead in the first half that all she needs to do is keep within a few points of Bernie to win.

It is divisive unless you're using your own definition.

He is unless you're again using your own rather than standard definitions.
