talking about black kids as super predators. The term super predators is used so that's supposed to mean black kids? Wrong.

THAT CONCLUSION IS RACIST.

She was referring to drug dealers as super predators and if you lived in the hood through that crack era you knew exactly who she was referring to — the crack dealers who were wreaking havoc on black kids and the black community — and we wanted them gone.

So push that super predator crap to others who like to think if you say "super predator" you're referring to black kids instead of the drug dealers who were actually preying on black kids.
