Yet here we have Republicans with a golden opportunity to negate some of Obama's oppressive commands and they are on the verge of squabbling it all away.

Bill Clinton apologizes and pretends to grovel before #BlackLivesMatter
. . . "It is not hard to imagine what sort of phone calls precipitated this seeming reversal. Al Sharpton and/or other race-baiters threatened Hillary, and Hillary threatened Bill. Hillary still needs the turnout of black voters at somewhere close to Obama election levels to continue to vanquish Sanders, and the Democratic Party is utterly dependent on black turnout for its electoral success nationally. Thus, the successful anti-crime measures of the Clinton administration (then known as “triangulation” under the guidance of Dick Morris) must be repudiated, or at least modified in the face of the uncomfortable fact that lowering crime means locking up violent criminals who are wildly disproportionately black." . . .

Bill Clinton to Black Lives Matter protesters: “You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter!”
Never have I agreed with Bill Clinton more, TD
"The Black Lives Matter movement is angry with Hillary Clinton over Hillary’s use of the term “Superpredators” in the 1990s to describe young black male criminals.
"That term was an integral part of selling the public on tougher criminal sentencing that BLM blames for the current high rates of incarceration for blacks.
"We covered the issue when a BLM protester confronted her at a fundraiser in late February, Hillary apologizes for stigmatizing generations of young black men as “superpredators”:
It was a chilling speech in 1996.Speaking in favor of a new crime bill, Hillary Clinton used the term “superpredator” to describe young, mostly black, men who were residual criminals. While the term was not literally limited to blacks, it came to signify and justify the mass incarceration of young black men under harsh sentencing laws:“They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘superpredators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.” . . .More at the link

"I have to assume that Hillary demanded he undo the damage he had done to her prospects of full-throated support from the race-mongering faction that is so useful in driving turnout pressures. And Bill refused to back down on the substance of his achievements in office. So they worked out a process apology that could serve as a scalp for the social justice warriors but left intact Bill’s defense of his own record."
