Hillary apologizes for stigmatizing generations of young black men as “superpredators”
“I am NOT a superpredator” says young black woman confronting Hillary at fundraiser.
It was a chilling speech in 1996.
Speaking in favor of a new crime bill, Hillary Clinton used the term “superpredator” to describe young, mostly black, men who were residual criminals. While the term was not literally limited to blacks, it came to signify and justify the mass incarceration of young black men under harsh sentencing laws:
“They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘superpredators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”
…
Reforms to lower incarceration rates for blacks, often the result of drug offenses with minimum mandatory sentences, is a bipartisan reform issue being pushed by Republicans such as Rand Paul and others.
So it was inevitable that it would become an issue for the woman who literally coined the phrase.
At a recent private fundraiser, a young Black Lives Matters protester, Ashley Williams, confronted Hillary:
Flustered, Hillary didn’t respond substantively.
But she has apologized via Jonathan Capehart at The Washington Post:
In that speech, I was talking about the impact violent crime and vicious drug cartels were having on communities across the country and the particular danger they posed to children and families. Looking back, I shouldn’t have used those words, and I wouldn’t use them today.
Some websites are trying to excuse Hillary’s use of the term, saying it is being taken out of context, that other parts of her speech spoke of community policing and so on.
Ah, context. I’m sure we’ll see a lot of that given to Republicans this electoral season.

The thing is, she was right then. She’s just a back-peddling Collectivist groomer of the race mongers now.
There are young people…men usually…who are nothing BUT “super-predators” in that they have NO civilizing influence in their lives.
Hillary’s supporters don’t care what she does or says. In that regard she is like Trump.
This is nearly a direct result of “it takes a village” to raise your kids. No adult takes responsibility for instilling values. Public schools can’t even teach reading properly let alone right from wrong.
And it takes a village idiot to espouse such a philosophy. In Hillary Clinton, the left has one.
From a Daily Kos post noted by polipundit.com. Twitter (temporarily) blocked a leftie attempt to astroturf.
“To help spread Black Lives Matter’s message of protest, twitter activists coordinated to get #WhichHillary trending. Users responded quickly. Through 450,000+ posts referencing #WhichHillary, Twitter users illustrated how they have felt betrayed by Sec. Clinton’s positions”
it’s clear that the “super predator” comment applies to “gang members.” Is that racially charged? Probabably not.
I’m not defending Hillary, just the English language which I don’t want to be abused even more.
Monogamy helps perpetuate the genes of the socially passive (crime avoidant) males (who would otherwise be displaced by mass breeding by more aggressive males) and to lower the numbers of children born of aggressive males. When mating practices reach the point where significant numbers of different women are having children by the same few highly aggressive males you end up with an increase in aggressive males in succeeding generations because the trait for aggression is heritable not driven by culture (except to the extent that non-monogamous breeding is tolerated).
We’ve got to quit telling ourselves pretty lies about the causes of crime. In those places where monogamous breeding practices have been abandoned you will have an increase in predatory males.
Blacks make up 12% of the population, but commit 52% of all murders in the US. Black people are their most frequent victim in those murders; 43% of all murder victims are black, and over 90% of the time their murderers are black. Black lives don’t matter to who?
While Blacks make up 12 percent as a whole it mainly Black males that commit most of those crimes. Of those it is mainly younger Black males, which drops the percent down to around 3 percent.
So we have a situation where almost half ov the violent crimes are committed by a very small group.
And somehow it is Whte people who are at fault?
And what killed monogamy? (And please note I’m *not* asking, “Why can’t everyone be monogamous all the time?” What I’m asking is, literally, “What *killed* monogamy?”)
The answer is the Pill, my brothers and sisters. The Pill.
And here I thought it was the Weather Underground and their “Smash Monogamy” campaign.
If the pill were the cause then the lack of monogamy wouldn’t be a problem. By definition the pill does not cause fatherless children. The problem is the lack of monogamy among those not using the pill, or any other kind of contraception.
I love the irony… She will likely take more heat for the one of the few times she spoke the truth than all the lies she has told …. And the Orwellian denial of truth by democrat/liberal/progressives on a whole host of subjects is jaw dropping… Mental ILLNESS
Guess the shoe fit!!!!
