Hillary Clinton Comments On Dr. Martin Luther King’s Dream
Clinton also said Obama and Edwards have acted like hypocrites during the race and appeared to diminish the role Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. played in the civil rights movements, saying it wasn’t hope that King inspired that made the difference but President Lyndon Johnson’s decision to fight for and sign the Civil Rights Act into law.
Is she really downplaying Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s role in the civil rights movement?

That bitch is just desperate. She’s trying to say and do anything to get attention.
Booooooo!!!
It is because she is now down that she is pulling out all punches. I am a Ron Paul guy but wouldn’t mind voting for Obama. IMO no one person can really “change” Washington (it is a collective effort), but Hillary is too divisive to do so. This aura of “ohhh it is my turn to be President” on top of her trying to appear “tough” by continuing to support every resolution that Bush puts forward for the War and also her appearing to calculate make me not want to vote for her. I don’t hate her as bad as most, but I don’t think she is a leader, yet a poll driven follower.
1) Ron Paul or Obama
2) Joe Biden (though he is out)
3) John Edwards
4) Hillary Clinton
5) Mike Huckabee
6) ehhhh i’ll write in Kanye West or something
DESPERATE!!!

SHES AN IDIOT, SHE IS SAYIN THIS JUST BEFORE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, HA, THEY ARE GANNA BLAST HER FOR THIS..
AS LONG AS SHE FOCUSES ON MAKING THE OTHER RUNNERS LOOK BAD, SHES IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO LOOSE , BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT FOCUSED ON THEM WHILE SHE WAS AHEAD, NOW HER WHOLE THING IS TO TRY TO MAKE THE OPPONENT LOOK BAD TO GET AHEAD, AND PEOPLE NOTICE IT.
i didn’t take it as a diss, i think she was trying to make a rather unwise comparision to those that inspire and those that actually make laws. Comparing herself to Johnson and Obama to King. But Johnson doesn’t have a national holiday, so it’s obvious that King’s hope was most to be remembered. i thought Hilary would be more respectful, she’s sounding like a wounded little school girl…I bet she wish she could say ‘you mama’ jokes next
IF SHE CANT FIND HER HUSBAND GETTING A BLOW JOB IN HER OWN HOUSE, HOW IS SHE GANNA FIND BIN LADEN HAH
Is that why she was crying during a speech yesterday in New Hampshire?

@SUMFIN LYKA FENOMENON/JESUS WAS BLACK!
Martin Luther King was a great man but guess what? if King was alive today he would not call white folks “crackers” and he would not call Hilary Clinton a “Cracka bitch”. You’re trying to make sense but you just sound like a fucking racist. You obviously don’t know anything about Martin Luther King.
All Hilary is doing is diging herself a deep deep hole her mouth is causing her to lose voters and because she has absoultely nothing to attack obama on she says this?… I never liked hilary and i’m glad everyone else is starting to wake up and realize there’s better canidates
Barack Obama and John Edwards = president and vice president …&heart;s
!!!

I CALL A CRACKA A CRACKA,AND A WETBACK A WETBACK.HILARY CLINTON HAPPENS TO BE WHITE,THEREFORE SHE IS A CRACKA B!TCH.
THESE THINGS ALL MAKE SENSE ONCE YOU OPEN YOUR EYES AND EARS
Isn’t it amazing how “pro black” some people seem to get when they think a white person is trying to discredit black people in any way? How come black people don’t get like this when other black people make comments or songs or any other type of negative connotations regarding black people?
world domination
watch this video and wake the hell up, it doesnt matter who the president is anymore prescott bush (grandpa), george bush snr, and george bush already fucked up the future for america.

damn. thats not a good way to get the black democratic votes.
na she aint downplayin him juss RTNY tryin to jump all ova another white person its cool tho
She is right and i dont find anything wrong with what she said. If you guys knew who Lyndon B. Johnson was you would agree with me. I take it as she is saying that Martin Luther King had a dream which he was fighting for. But he needed help and the support of the President to make that Dream law otherwise it would be like millions of other dreams that never come into reality
The first thing I took note of is that the phrase that was supposed to be said by Hillary is not in quotes. Therefore that meant I needed to watch the video to see what she actually said. That synopsis of what she said is grossly wrong. The way it is put in the above text does make it sound like she is diminishing the rold of Dr. King… its probably a good thing that she said nothing even remotely close to what is typed above.
People please be smart; watch and listen to the video above and hear exactly what she said.
On Blast
this really makes black people stupid. you all know damn well hillary would not do that. stop spinning like that. it’s not that serious
Politics kinda like golf, its ran by old rich white men. You think they gonna let a women come in and run things or a black nigga? Tiger woods or Annika Sorenson? This country was sexist before it was racist.
Its gonna start to get ugly as we approach the election though. Everything candidates say can and will be taken out of context and used against them as a form of propaganda damn near.
do u people know what the fucking illuminati is.
its right in front of you.
one world government is coming
north american union is coming
the AMERO IS COMING
vote mike gravel
All of you who criticized what she said are fuckin ignorant…shit even the realtalkny blog owner for even posting something so stupid. Listen closely you dumb fucks before opening your fuckin mouths…Now that really makes black people look stupid. Passing judgement before actually knowing the facts!
Good post
not a good look. she will lose some supporters after this comment.
bitch hillary got issues….seem like she wear boxers wit dickholes in em
In respone to holla
the fact is that hillary may be very well intentioned towards blacks but the comment more than anything shows her
1.lack of historical knowledge on the topic of civil rights. LBJ was not a beleiver in social equality and used the nword more than snoop and fifty put together. he loved ni%$%a jokes more than any one and when he brought the civil rights bill up referenced it as the n##ga bill google that if you like holla comparing him or even allowing him to be credited with the accomplishments of the CRB IS NOTHING SHORT OF INSULTING
2 Political Gaffes are fine and we can laugh at them but the last thing we need in this dangerous world is a president who is unable to communicate with people outside
the upwardly mobile white elite. this shows her lack of real world experiece outside washington, you start to attribute everything to a politician or peice of legislation, and forget the people, her lack of ability to veiw things from others standpoint are omnipresent in
this statement. It took a president to get it done translation Be thankful whites have given you equal rights as citzens to be
OBAMA 08
I could not believe that Hillary Clinton said the following: “Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act. It took a president to get it done.”
This is totally unacceptable for Hillary Clinton to say. Black people across the nation should demands an official apology from her. She covers herself under the Democratic Party to gain African American support, and votes. However she does not represent the party ideology. I am afraid that she is just a hypocrite and an opportunist who fooled the black community in the past. She was right when she said that she found her voice in New Hampshire thereafter. She does even have a modicum of restraint for our most respectable hero - A man who gave his life for the liberty of back people. I could not believe that she said the following: “Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act. It took a president to get it done.”
Not only she is going to loose the votes of the black people in South Carolina, but also she is going to loose the black votes across the nation. The last time I remember checking the official US census, Black people accounts for about 12.8% of the population
She also now claims to have attended the March on washington to hear MLK’s “I have a dream, at the age of 13 - which is like a visit to the ‘Twilight Zone’, since all records show she was 14 that year and campaigning for Goldwater….
Seriously. We’re all making a huge deal over her comments on MLK. Alright - sure. It was a horrible misunderstanding but i’ll put it this way. I don’t think that she meant to have it strike off as “Johnston is x100 better then MLK” or however the community took it. I personally, don’t support her. However - I don’t want this to turn into another racial scandal like it always does.
My thoughts? MLK was the father of the civil rights - JFK’s death was the spark - and Johnston was the action needed to start a fire under the ass of bigots in America.
Until recently, I didn’t know what the Clinton camp had said to cause such an uproar.
I do know that Barack is only beginning to carve out a legacy, and that he owes much of his success to the man I sing about in this tribute song, Martin Luther King, Jr.
It Only Hurts When I Cry

Hillary is all about standing up for the people in America who aren’t rich. She and her husband have been champions of equal rights, better pay and benefits for ALL. I don’t believe she has a racist bone in her body. She was just trying to say that All the dreams of the people need strong leadership by our president to get these dreams fulfilled and that when elected she will do just that! That’s it, no less, no more.
Hilary knows EXACTLY the context within which she made that comment - she cannot be highly intelligent one minute then really stupid the next minute. and as dwight b said - if you can’t understand that it is people not politicians who bring around REAL change then she might as well admit she is a robot. She is desperate and digging for whatever she can, she might be trying to reach the white racist subconscious, maybe even trying to get attention - she needs to melt a bit and start actually liking human beings who are less intelligent than her.
And respect MLK. No excuses. No pretending.
