Hillary Clinton Says White People Need To Start Listening To African-American Concerns


The tragic killings of black men at the hands of police officers this week is no doubt going to make fodder for politicians during this election year.

The presidential hopeful is taking the opportunity to put her outrage on full display.

Huffington Post:

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Friday that white people must do more to understand the experiences that African-Americans have had with police officers.

Speaking with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Clinton made the remarks in response to questions about why she believes she’s more qualified than presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump to close the racial divide in America.

“I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families, who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about … how to really protect themselves, when they are the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police,” Clinton said.

“I’m going to be talking to white people. I think we are the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African-American fellow citizens, and we have so much more to be done, and we have got to get about the business of doing it,” said Clinton. “We can’t be engaging in hateful rhetoric or incitement of violence. We need to bring people together.”

Man charged with Desecrating American Flag After Posting Photos On Facebook

An Illinois man was arrested after he set the American flag on fire and posted photos of the act on Facebook. 

  

But the incident has sparked a debate on social media about whether the act should be considered an expression of free speech. 

According to The News-Gazette, Bryton Mellott, 22, posted several photos on Facebook on July 3 showing him burning the American flag. On the photo post, he included a statement about why he is “not proud” to be an American.

“In this moment, being proud of my country is to ignore the atrocities committed against people of color, people living in poverty, people who identify as women, and against my own queer community on a daily.” 

Before the photos were deleted, they were shared thousands of times on Facebook.
