If you like the current crop of republicans other than trump you should. Bill Clinton was far more effective at implementing their policies than any of them could hope to be.
Looks like Bill forgot his title of "first black president" was only
honorary. Playing the sax on the Arsenio Hall show, and the overall attitude of "Hate the game, not the playah." etc. that went into the nominal black affinity for Bill Clinton only goes so far.
And yes, I absolutely agree that the mandatory federal drug sentencing, and things like charges based on the total weight of crack, vs. just it's cocaine content, against higher purity powder cocaine etc. that Clinton signed into law has done more to harm black people/black communities than the KKK could in their best wet dreams.
I definitely get the sense that BLM is more about maintaining the "churn" and stirring pots, promoting the grievance industry, and self-aggrandizement for it's leaders, rather than actual solutions. It's also a reflection of how poor/minority communities tend to have a worldview centered on "external causation", i.e.: "It's not my/our fault, bad stuff always be happening to me!" etc. vs. "internal causation" which is how middle and upper class majority communities view things.
And, once the current narrative is exhausted, I expect that BLM will switch over to "the police neglect our neighborhoods" soon enough.
That all said, I agree that the idea BLM is intentionally working to protect black criminals who primarily prey on black victims is one hell of a stretch.
