The Black Informant

African-American culture, news commentary, politics

Another “I’ve been good to you coloreds” moment

“I mean this is just, you know… You gotta go something to play the race card on me — my office is in Harlem. And Harlem voted for Hillary, by the way. And I have 1.4 million people around the world, mostly people of color in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and elsewhere, on the world’s least expensive AIDS drugs. I appointed more African American, Hispanic and women judges and U.S. Attorneys than all previous presidents put together and had nine African American Cabinet members. (Frm. President Bill Clinton during radio interview in Philly yesterday)

  2. Oh give us a break I do remember Billy boy nominated quite a few blacks to cabinate positions to only turn his back on them when the going got a little rough. Mostly due to Billy’s own problems!

    This was in sharp contrast to the unwaving support Bush Sr. gave that “sellout” dude on the supreme court today.
