Hillary to the NAACP: White people (still) need to do a better job of listening

To be fair, when Hillary spoke to the NAACP she didn’t start out too badly …

"Killing police officers is a terrible crime…anyone who kills a police officer and anyone who helps must be held accountable." —Hillary

Truth.

Of course then she went downhill …

"Perhaps the best way to honor our police is to follow the lead of police departments across the country who are striving to do better."

WUT? Or maybe the best way to honor our police is to stop blaming them for racism that doesn’t exist OR BETTER YET, to stop murdering them?

We must fight for criminal justice reform. Everyone is safer when there is respect for the law and when everyone is respected by the law.

Can’t just make this about respecting the law, can you granny? When people respect the law the law respects them, let’s not complicate things.

Fixing the mass incarceration crisis.
Dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline.
Helping the formerly incarcerated.

It's time to act.

You left off, “Stopping the murder of innocent police officers.” FIFY.

People who care about protecting the lives of police officers should be committed to getting assault weapons off our streets.

Oh brother. There ya’ go, she had to make a dig at people who want to protect the Second Amendment.

"Ending systemic racism requires contributions from us all, especially those of us who haven’t experienced it ourselves." —Hillary

Oh good gravy.

White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers that you face every day.

Blah blah blah blah blah …

Let’s also put ourselves in the shoes of police officers. Empathy works both ways. We’ve got to try to see the world through their eyes.

*eye roll*

"In times like these, we need a president who can help pull us together, not split us apart. I will work every single day to do just that."

Right.
