While pandering in New York City, Hillary Clinton joined NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio in a poor effort at a humorous skit:
Hillary Clinton performed in a racially tinged skit at an annual New York City press dinner as the controversy surrounding former president Bill Clinton’s defense of his wife’s “superpredator” remark continues to swirl.
Clinton took the stage for a surprise appearance at Saturday’s Inner Circle Dinner and proceeded to needle Mayor Bill de Blasio for his belated endorsement.
“I just have to say thanks for the endorsement, Bill. Took you long enough,” Clinton told her former campaign manager.
“Sorry, Hillary, I was running on C.P. time,” de Blasio replied to gasps from the crowd.
As Raw Story explains, “C. P. time,” or “colored people time,” refers to “the stereotype that African Americans generally tell as a reason for being late to an event or a traditionally black event not beginning on time.”
“Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr., who is black, was onstage with de Blasio and Clinton. “I don’t like jokes like that,” he said to the mayor.

In case you missed it, here is that “superpredator” remark:

There was a lot of harrumphing about this recently.
Therefore, Hillary’s comment holds more significance than simply referring to gang members. It was used to justify mass incarceration for many crack addicts and small dose marijuana users, not dealers. The focus was not rehabilitation of the addicts, but punitive punishment. Prisons are big business in the United States and people business is good! Mandatory minimums and longer sentences makes for huge profits. Have we forgotten about the judges that took bribes from private prisons to send juveniles away? Ironically, now that heroin has taken a foothold in white suburbia, those harsh sentencing guidelines are being struck down in favor of rehabilitation over prison. What about black and Latino addicted youth that were incarcerated? Well, they had to be brought to heel.
And naturally, Clinton let it be known she “regretted” that remark as she was pandering back in 1996 when she said it.
So why does this matter?
Not a single major legacy media covered it.. Not one.
Trump is called a “racist” with virtually every word he utters.
Mitt Romney pretty much killed himself when he spoke the phrase “binders full of women.” The internet went postal.
It was harmless. It pointed to Romney’s efforts on behalf of women:
Romney said, “Let’s have a flexible schedule so you can have hours that work for you.”
Do fathers not have to get home and cook dinner? Do they not want to be there for their children when school is out? After all, there are such things as single dads who balance children and work. Mitt Romney has obviously been watching too many episodes of “Leave It To Beaver” on TV Land on the campaign trail. The days of Donna Reed are long over, Mr. Romney.
Romney seemed to time travel again to the 1950s when he was addressing a question about assault weapons, specifically AK-47s.
“We need moms and dads, helping to raise kids,” Romney said. “Wherever possible the – the benefit of having two parents in the home, and that’s not always possible. A lot of great single moms, single dads. But gosh to tell our kids that before they have babies,
they ought to think about getting married to someone, that’s a great idea.”
But the left would have none of it. Romney had to die.
Had any Republican candidate participated in a skit which included “colored people time” it would be fatal to his or her campaign. Instantly. The cries of racist would drown out absolutely everything else. But let a left wing asshat do it and at most the left shifts in its seat and picks it nose. This should strangle Clinton’s campaign, but it won’t.
It won’t because you can’t spell “liberal” without the letters H Y P O C R I T E.
Speaking of hypocrisy, the Clinton’s have at least five shell corporations in Delaware for the purpose of tax avoidance.
There is nothing illegal about the activity, but the location has come under renewed scrutiny in the wake of last week’s finding that a Panamanian law firm helped as many as 140 political leaders around their globe surreptitiously shield their assets using offshore holding corporations. During a campaign stop this week, Clinton said the revelations about the “super-rich” exploiting tax loopholes were “outrageous.”
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
