[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Selective reporting is not a very respectable behavior. Here is part of what Hillary said in Steve Harvey interview responding to how she is different than Donald.

"When I went to defend young black kids put into adult jails in South Carolina, or went to Alabama undercover to expose racist segregated academies, or when I worked to get kids with disabilities the education they deserved, or stood up for women around the world who are often the last fed and ignored and marginalized, and everything that I believe in I want to bring to the White House. I want to build on the progress that President Obama has made during a very tumultuous time.

I mean, I’m appalled that [b]Donald Trump will not apologize to the President and to the country for spending years questioning his citizenship and attempting to delegitimize him.[/b] And President Obama and Michelle Obama, they’ve kept their heads high. Like Michelle says, when they go low, we go high. And we’ve got to stay high. We’ve got to stay focused. And I know what we can do together to deal with more good jobs with rising incomes, making college affordable. I’ve got a plan for historically black colleges and universities because I value their work so much. And [b]we’ve got to tackle systemic racism – this horrible shooting again. How many times do we have to see this in our country? In Tulsa, an unarmed man with his hands in the air? I mean, this is just unbearable, and it needs to be intolerable.[/b]

And so [b]maybe I can, by speaking directly to white people, say, look, this is not who we are. We’ve got to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias. There are good, honorable, cool-headed police officers. We have seen them in action in New York over the last 48 hours because of the terrorist attacks.[/b] We can do better. We have got to rein in what is absolutely inexplicable. And [b]we have got to have[/b] law enforcement respect communities and [b]communities respect law enforcement[/b] because they have to work together."

This does not sound like chastising or blaming the "white". It is appealing to people to not to give into prejudice and keep the injustice against black going on. And she did talk about the vast majority of police officers who do amazing jobs.[/quote]

Exactly. Why can't white people be sensitive about people of color and their sufferings? Does lil bit of empathy to nonwhites make you less of a white? [/quote]
