“I am reaching out to everyone, Republicans, Democrats, independents, everyone who is as troubled as I am by the bigotry and divisiveness of Donald Trump’s campaign”, she told MSNBC, adding she was asking “fair-minded Americans to repudiate this kind of divisive demagoguery” at the November 8 election.
The African-American community, at the very least, deserves to know what both candidates will do to revitalize our communities and break this vicious and generational cycle of disenfranchisement.
“Democratic politicians have run almost every inner-city in America for 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 years”. In a speech last Thursday she accused him of stoking racial resentment, and in response Trump labeled her a bigot.
“She doesn’t care. She’s too busy raking in cash from people and rigging the system and taking the African American vote and the Hispanic vote and saying, ‘We’re going to do a great job.’ And right after the election, it’s ‘bye-bye, I’ll see you in four years'”.

While it is increasingly hard to take Hillary Clinton’s word about her own behavior while in office as Secretary of State, it is safe to say that a Clinton presidency would double down on the failed policies of the Obama Administration in a feverish attempt to defend the current president’s legacy at the expense of those – including large numbers of the middle class – for whom his policies continue to harm or leave behind.
