Rev. Al Sharpton wants blacks to hold Clinton accountable
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 08:57 PM by politicasista
and reminds us to stop calling him the first black president. I know some don't want to hear his viewpoints, but there is some truth to this.

1. Thanks for that link, P.
I agree with Sharpton completely and I'm not a huge fan of his. Bill was so affable and he hung out with black folks and 'felt our pain' so much it was easy to forgive him his transgressions or blame them on the opposition party. And, I hope many were paying attention when he said he 'got' bush and then hung with his dad.

I don't know if Blacks give Hilary a similar pass (I do NOT). Now she's trying to be our moral compass while calling for more troops and she's gotta know the ones most likely to sign up are from poor communities - not exactly feelin' our pain, is she?
