@Lash,
Quote Lash, to Snood:
Quote:I do wonder how you feel standing with someone who's done so much damage to black Americans.
Because overall, Bill Clinton
didn't do damage to black Americans, quite the opposite. For one thing, crime was spiraling up and out of control before Bill Clinton took office. Under Clinton, within a year the number of black murder victims started declining and continued to go down, down, down.
Black Murder Victims By Year
Under Bush I
1987......8,998
1988......9,956
1989.....10,566
1990.....11,487
1991.....12,227
1992.....11,777
Bill Clinton Takes Office
1993.....12,433
1994.....11,854
1995.....10,442
1996.......9,473
1997.......8,841
1998.......7,933
1999.......7,139
2000.......7,425
Under Bush I's last year murder rate of black victims, there would be 94,216 black people murdered in the years 1993 through 2000. Instead, under Bill Clinton only 75,540 black people were murdered in those years. Bill Clinton's presidency saved over 18,000 black lives.
That's only one reason why the Clintons are so justifiably popular among African American voters.
