civil rights act than LBJ.
Let's accept your premise the statement had nothing to do with MLK, then why did Hillary go there??
One of my arguments is that like her so-called black president husband Bill when he was governor of AR and running for president he refused to commute a mentally ill black prisoner's death penalty to prove to white southern voters he would be tough on those coloreds and negroes.
Many in the south still have lingering discomfort after taking it on the chin becuase of MLK. Hillary's discounting of MLK was a tatic right out of Bill's playbook on how to court southern whites.
It was a bad play option by Hillary actually it was lethal given MLK and Southern Black voters who I recall really admired that guy..
