Larry Elder puts Hillary in her place about 'white Americans'

Recently, Hillary Clinton has been campaigning on the fact that white Americans need to do a better job of listening to black Americans.

Interesting that she divides Americans by race – she could have just as easily said, “Americans need to do a better job of listening to other Americans.”

Larry Elder took issue with this particular campaign message …

"White people" need to "listen up" to "legitimate cries" from blacks."

Now now Larry, she’s a Democrat, facts don’t matter. All that matters are feeeeeelings.

But that’s insensitive … or something.

Perhaps this is the point Hillary should be making, and instead she’s busy playing identity politics.

the real issue here is 29 million poor people.

Exactly.

Bingo.

And let’s be honest, the last thing Hillary wants is for Americans to start actually talking to each other. Better to keep us divided into neat little buckets that can be easily manipulated and pandered to for votes.
