Hillary Clinton condemns 'institutional racism' in US
[Iran Press TV] The former US secretary of state made the remarks in a speech in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
on Saturday, days after a 21-year-old white man slaughtered nine African-American worshippers at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina.
"Race remains a deep fault line in America," Clinton said, speaking in front of the US Conference of Mayors in San Francisco. "Millions of people of color still experience racism in their everyday lives."
She stated that "it's tempting to dismiss a tragedy like this as an isolated incident, to believe that in today's America bigotry is largely behind us, that institutionalized racism no longer exists."
Yes, a failed America and more Obama snake oil remedies required.
"But despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, America's long struggle with race is far from finished," she added.
In addition, Clinton called for a "commonsense" approach to gun reforms and vowed to take swift action to tighten gun control laws if elected.
She said that President Barack Obama
teachable moment ...
is right on gun control legislation, adding that the "politics on this issue have been poisoned but we can't give up."
