Hillary was talking about racial inequality on June 20, 2015 in San Francisco at the Conference of Mayors..
Started out talking about the massacre in Charleston that had just happened.. and making a good eloquent case for common sense gun laws. Receiving a standing ovation!
"We need to tackle this problem With urgency and conviction. Mentions President Obama kindly 3 times.
"..Take racist violence head on.. struggle with racism is far from finished.."
"Race remains a deep fault line in America.. states racial inequality.
"Can't hide from hard truths on racial injustice.."
Poignant story about Debbie Dills.. I didn't know that.
Encourages "Cities against racism.. and preventing gun violence.."
We have to be too "Too busy to hate" "Need more love and kindness in this country."
No wonder Hillary is doing so with the African American Community on the whole.. she really speaks to them.
