Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Hillary Clinton Says of African-Americans, ‘They All Look Alike’ Outrageous 'joke' by failed presidential candidate remains unexplained Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state who has twice been denied the White House, said something outrageous in a recent podcast interview that was also filmed live. Even if she was joking, it was a racist comment that would see virtually any Republican or conservative rightfully skewered for saying or doing the same thing. The moment c a m e j u s t d a y s a g o when “Recode” podcast host Kara Swisher (pictured above left), who was conducting an interview with Clinton, asked her about Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), as T h e D a i l y W i r e r e p o r t e d . “I adore him,” Clinton said of Booker. “But what do you think of him saying, ‘Kick them in the shins’?” Swisher asked her, mistakenly naming Booker as the one who said this, rather than Eric Holder, former President Obama’s attorney general.

White Florida man opened fire on his Hispanic neighbors for checking if their home was damaged by hurricane A Florida man who was previously praised for protecting homes from looters after Hurricane Michael hit is now facing charges that he was drunk and shooting at a Hispanic neighbor who only wanted to see how badly his home was damaged. According to the M i a m i H e r a l d , C a r l K u h n , 56, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm while intoxicated over the incident which occurred at around 7 p.m. on Oct. 12, just two days after the powerful hurricane lashed the Bay County community. After police responded to a report of shots fired, they found the intoxicated Kuhn who told them that he had yelled at the two men inside a black truck to leave, adding he had fired two shots into the ground to “scare them away.” According to the driver of the truck, Martin Cisneros, he told police that he rents the house across from Kuhn’s f

Mike Pence ignores female voters of color and falsely claims ‘the president won a majority of women’ in 2016 Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday falsely claimed that he and then-candidate Donald Trump “won a majority of women” during the 2016 election. In an interview with Politico Playbook, the moderator noted that current polls find that two-thirds of women rate the Republican Part unfavorably. Pence, however, shrugged off the polls. “I gave up a long time ago trying to explain polls,” Pence said. “Virtually every poll this time two years ago said we were going to lose. I didn’t believe them then.” “The president won a majority of women if memory serves in 2016 and I think it’s because he spoke to the issues that women and men cared most about,” he added. “Safety and security at home and abroad. A growing economy, opportunities in the workplace. Unemployment for women is now at a 65 year low in the United States.” Pence’s claim follows repeated assertions b

New Massachusetts police union leader: "Let’s meet violence with violence and get the job done.” “I am sick and tired of the social justice warriors telling us how to do our jobs,” he wrote. “It’s time we forget about ‘restraint’, ‘measured responses’, ‘procedural justice’, ‘de-escalation’, ‘stigma-reduction’, and other feel-good BS that is getting our officers killed. Let’s stop lipsynching, please! Let’s meet violence with violence and get the job done.” Rick Pedrini, a Lieutenant at the Arlington Police Department who will soon become the executive director of the Massachusetts Police Association, wrote an editorial earlier this year in which he attacked community activists who have been trying to get police to use less force in dealing with suspects. Pedrini reserved special scorn for activists who have been protesting against police brutality in their communities, however. Throughout the editorial, Pedrini also referred to suspected criminals as “animals” an

Mississippi bar kicks out man who wore KKK robe to Halloween costume party hours after Pittsburgh massacre A bar in the city of Picayune, Mississippi over the weekend kicked out a customer who attended its Halloween costume party wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and waving the Mississippi state flag. T h e C l a r i o n L e d g e r r e p o r t s that the owners of Mutt & BC’s Bar & Grill in Picayune confronted a white man dressed in the KKK outfit and told him that he would have to leave the bar and that he was not ever welcome to come back. “We do not tolerate or condone racism at any level of our business, customers or staff,” co-owner Bryan Carroll explained to the C l a r i o n L e d g e r . “Everyone is welcome and we do have all walks of life and all races that patronize our place.” The decision to wear a KKK robe in public on Saturday was particularly controversial because a white supremacist in Pittsburgh had just gunned down eleven Jews at a synagogue
