Hillary Clinton regrets calling black youths ‘super predators’ in 1996

At a campaign event earlier this week Hillary Clinton was caught off-guard when two Black Lives Matter protesters asked her to explain some racist comments she made about black youths back in 1996 while she was the First Lady. If you missed that story you can read about it here, but to summarize: while she was the First Lady Hillary Clinton was taking about “at risk youths” (which is a dog whistle for black youths) and she called them “super predators” and went on to say we need to “bring them to heel.”

Before we go on you need to let that comment sink in. Think about it this way, she was saying that black youths were basically akin to dogs who needed to learn how to submit to their masters. Is there anything more racist than a comment like this?

After having this quote brought to the light of day, and with 24 hours to think of a response, Hillary Clinton today said she “regrets” her choice of words, here is more:

“Looking back, I shouldn’t have used those words, and I wouldn’t use them today.”

Of course she did not actually apologize for her statement, she merely stated that she regrets the words she used, so we can assume she meant what she said but only wishes she worded it differently now that she has been exposed as a racist.

But for those of you who might read this and state that I am off-base when I say “at-risk youth” is a dog whistle for black youths I would point out she basically admitted it was true when she said the following in her statement today:

“And unfortunately today, there are way too many of those kids, especially in African-American communities.”

‘Nuff said, it is pretty clear who she was talking about…

Can you even begin to imagine the field day the mainstream media would he having with either Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or Donald Trump if a quote from the past which was even close to this was discovered from any of them?
