The Clinton administration was really a disaster for race in America
When Bill Clinton escalated the War on Pot and helped triple the national arrest rate, the people he hurt the most happened to be young black men.
He didn't rescue them from drugs by doing that. He made sure that their drug use would get them criminal records.
That is a fact. That was a measurable outcome of his presidency. You can count the bodies. People have.
Now people are trying to talk about race WITHOUT talking about that fact -- the fact of how Bill Clinton built bipartisan relations in Congress by sacrificing young black men.
You don't want to talk about it here -- but it's still true. It still really did happen.
And he didn't save the world by doing that either, even though he made it sound like all that paranoia and prejudice really was going to save the world.
Look around at the world now -- millions of marijuana users arrested, and the world is not saved.
