Anyone here use the connection of Hillary, Wall Street, and the 2008 crash harming minorities?

The Clintons embraced Wall Street and became their servants.

The Clintons support financial deregulation to satisfy Wall Street

The 2008 Crash is caused by both Wall Street and financial deregulation that the Clintons' supported.

The 2008 crash financially harmed blacks and hispanics net worth:



Hillary basically has pledged her allegiance to Wall Street, thus at the very least a supporter of the entities who caused a lot of financial suffering on blacks and hispanics, and at the most being partially complicit in it.

And blacks and hispanics should vote for Hillary?

And they will vote to put the Clintons back in office?

It is utterly idiotic for Americans to vote for who is tied to who caused so much suffering for Americans.

The Clintons have been central figures (though not always obviously) in the enabling of
Wall St. to bugger and bankrupt 'we little people' (that's you and me, commonly called
the 99%) with their obscene -- and often criminal -- profiteering.

That Hillary Clinton is now running as the "presumptive nominee" for POTUS is a disgrace
in itself, but the fact that she's doing it using Blacks and Latinos -- the very people who
have been most fucked-over -- as her "firewall" is .. well .. darkly ironic in the extreme,
and needs to be SHOUTED FROM THE FUCKING ROOFTOPS!!!

So thanks for your part in helping to do just that.
