CNN Debate: clinton 1st black prez?(MUST HEAR black pundit!)

NOTE:
CNN's question refers to Toni Morrison's essay, "Clinton as the first black president," (New Yorker, October 1998), which was Morrison's defense--some would say, 'her rationalization'--of clinton with regard to his impeachment.

Morrison's argument reduces to this: bill clinton, who is "blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children's lifetime.--[a]fter all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness," is being lynched for not knowing his place.

The irony, of course, is that this is precisely what the clintons are doing to Obama, lynching him for having the temerity not to know his place....

One has to wonder if CNN understood the dynamics, i.e., if CNN's underscoring of the clintons' lynching of Obama was intentional....


THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT?
clinton legacy of lynching update

by Mia T, 7.23.05

"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important." (Martin Luther King)

Ironically, the logic of this pronouncement by Martin Luther King would, in short order, be refuted by the reality of his own lynching. King's hope was misplaced and his reasoning was circular. The resultant rule of law relied on by King presumed an adherence to the rule of law in the first instance.

Adherence to the rule of law is not something normally associated with the clintons. Moreover, racial and ethnic disrespect, intimidation, exploitation and hate have always been a fundamental clinton tactic and the reflexive use the "N"-word and other racial and ethnic slurs, an essential element in the clinton lexicon. When the "first black president" and his wife ran Arkansas, the NAACP sued them for intimidating black voters at the polls.

Conversely, the clintons' refinement of the DNC drag and drop is, arguably, one of the more insidious and repugnant applications of their special brand of race-hate politics.

Calculating a black man's worth to be 5/3 of a vote is no less racist, and arguably more so, than calculating his worth to be 3/5 of a white man; the latter is demeaning, but the former is dehumanizing.

But it is even worse.

Listen to Randall Robinson in this video, read below about Rwanda. Only one conclusion is possible: A clinton legacy of lynching.

-------

Bill Clinton felt their pain. Retrospectively. In 1998, on his Grand Apology Tour of Africa, a whirlwind tour of whirlwind apologies for slavery, the Cold War, you name it, he touched down in Kigali and apologized for the Rwandan genocide. "When you look at those children who greeted us," he said, biting his lip, as is his wont, "how could anyone say they did not want those children to have a chance to have their own children?"

Alas, the President had precisely identified the problem. In April 1994, when the Hutu genocidaires looked at the children who greeted them in the Tutsi villages, that's exactly what they thought: they didn't want those Tutsi children to have a chance to have their own children. So the question is: when a bunch of killers refuse to subscribe to multiculti mumbo-jumbo, what do you do?

"All over the world there were people like me sitting in offices," continued Bill in his apology aria, "who did not fully appreciate the depth and the speed with which you were being engulfed by this unimaginable terror."

Au contraire, he appreciated it all too fully. That's why, during the bloodbath, Clinton Administration officials were specifically instructed not to use the word "genocide" lest it provoke public pressure to do something.

Documents made public last week confirm that US officials knew within the first few days that a "final solution" to eliminate all Tutsis was underway.

What in the hell is that kind of planted question? Bill Clinton=Black President, because he fights poverty? CNN is starting to sound more and more like the Clinton News Network, everyday. Abraham Lincoln ABOLISHED slavery and he's not the first black president? What about when Eisenhower sent in federal troops to protect black students enrolling in a desegregated high school? Give me a break. Bill Clinton our first black president? Most retarded question I've ever heard.

The clintons view blacks as not simply exploitable, and hence inferior, (the way they view the rest of us).

The clintons view blacks as disposable. The clintons knowingly, willfully, directly, caused the slaughter of 800,000 blacks in Rwanda.

That said, the question refers to Toni Morrison's essay, "Clinton as the first black president," (New Yorker, October 1998), which was her defense of clinton re impeachment.

Morrison's argument reduced to this: bill clinton, who is "[b]lacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children's lifetime. After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness," is being lynched for not knowing his place.

Hillary running as the first women president but using her husband experience and resume as of her own

Do all independent women use their spouse accomplishment as of their own and aren't real independent women offended ? Aren't they voting for the first women or the first women husband

[hesswesley]

Obama! Don't let the Clintons get you off your game! This election is about "CHANGE" not about Race! Stay on your game!

[Bynkers83]

@NeoXC Morrison is not referring to Clinton's political accomplishments. Her arguments are based on his behaviour.

[Yungin545]

nevermind I looked a couple more times I was wrong

[Yungin545]

this vid is tampered with look at 6:55 and at 6:57 it changes completely, want proof look at the bottom writing

[eatadicc]

Yeah right white people will never let go of being "white".

[Shield1751]

We should teach this....remember that it was still America even under the Articles of Confederation.

[neoconscottp]

If Bill Clinton is the first black President-then isn't Obamette the first woman President with his womanlike policies and demeanor? I think the left is afraid of Sarah Palin because she is more of a man than our cowardly president.

[se7entyse7en77]

Obama isn't the first black president either. He's biracial as he is half white. There are some claims that Jackson, Lincoln, Harding, and Coolidge had black ancestors. The most credible of which is Harding whose great-grandmother was black. Sorry BO, you're not the first or last.

[Iwtlv]

Sounds very funny !

[jopaddy81]

Brothers, God knows Clinton was a much better ally than his predecessors. May be not that black but the guy tried.

Lay off Bill Clinton. I know he wasn't clean with Rwanda but if we had Bill, Katrina would not have been such a mess

[ParadigmShift302]

I don't see how anyone would take Toni Morrison's comment and run w/ it like it was meant as some compliment when it was not! It was a trope! She mentioned nothing about what he seemingly did for Black people but his background which was supposed to be "Black" stereotypes...

(Btw, to NeoXC, the answer to your two questions is No and NO).
