Saying that Bill Clinton was the first black president is like saying we like it when the government is screwing us. It like saying the capitalistic system rewards African American people. It like saying bring on the repression. Whoa! For all of you Bill Clinton lovers, let’s look at the truth and let’s see how much Bill Clinton “loved black folks.”

President William Jefferson Clinton loved African American people so much that he helped to set up the most massive transference of African American wealth through the destruction of the Glass-Steagall Act. This Act was passed after the greater depression in the 20’s when the oligarchs fleeced the public. With the passage of Glass-Steagall, banks had to stay in their lanes. You were either a savings bank or a commercial bank. Alan Greenspan, federal reserve chairman, helped President Clinton blur the lines and let banks destroy the housing market. They also became too big to fail.

President William Jefferson Clinton also gave us all those trade agreements like NAFTA the North Atlantic Trade Agreement. Depending on whether you talk to a conservative of a liberal, NAFTA moved all the high paying jobs off shore or it created other jobs. Speaking of too big to fail the corporations took their jobs and their profits off shore. The number of jobs is questionable, the data is fuzzy. Most folk know someone whose job is gone.

President William Jefferson Clinton loved African Americans so much he distributed 5 BILLION dollars to begin community policing. He hired over 100,000 new police to ensure that your community was safe. He broke the cycle of crime by the following actions; arresting low level drug dealers, closing all those houses that distributed drugs, decreasing all those guns coming into the African American community, removing all the rest of those criminals from our streets.

President William Jefferson Clinton helped those druggies by ensuring that when they came out they could not live in public housing, why return to the scene of the crime. They could not get grants for school, that would only cause more stress and they might return to using drugs. They also could not vote that also causes stress. Those are just a few ways the first black President helped his constituents.

President William Jefferson Clinton was helping African American people by making sure the US had the world’s highest rate of people incarcerated. On this issue he was working hard to get white folks to vote for him too by locking up all those African Americans. The President of all the people including millions of African Americans, locked up black folks for minor offenses. Their lives f***** up forever, thanks to our first black President.

President William Jefferson Clinton also helped by destroying the “welfare as we know” system. He cut off the benefits of 7 million people to please his buddies in the Republican Party. TANF, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families lost about 60% of it’s funding. All those people cut off welfare were able to find good low wage jobs.

President William Jefferson Clinton was such a good President, corporate profits hit a forty year high rate. Now we are expected to elect Hillary Clinton as the second black President, she can really relate to the average person also. She probably has not had to drive a car in decades due to being chauffeured around the world. Let us not forget she only makes $250.000.00 per speech. She is about as removed from the everyday person as her husband was.
