Bill Clinton is the most disappointing President in the history of
America.

I agree with this.

Slavery may have been abolished 140 years ago but the lingering
brutality,
segregation and denial of basic human rights continues till this day.
Why no public admission that the past was wrong? Why no monuments to
the suffering of millions? Without reconciliation it will always be a
sore point.
American blacks are slowly becoming full fledged members of society.
Slowly. Every so often some nasty scenario surfaces about a black
celebrity ruffling feathers because he or she is simply seeking out
what any white person would obtain without question.
Tiger Woods' go at the Masters exposed the fact that that there are
still white's only golf clubs around.
People don't get over things that continue to haunt their lives.
A black walks in to a group of whites and the whole tone of
conversation changes.
Blacks get different service over a counter.
(not everywhere and not all situations but prevalent enough for you to
reckognize the truth in it)
A black man is more likely to be pulled over, held without being
formally arrested, and beaten in custody in the States today than any
other race.
The Rodney King mess showed the history of LA police racism and
brutality. It also showed the racism of a random selection of
supposedly upstanding citizens.
" Rodney King was controlling that beating.." one of the middle aged
witnesses said with a grin after seeing the tape.
When the black jury aquitted O.J., they were so full of poison that
justice meant O.J. walks no matter what. Any surprise? (One back at
ya.)
Don't tell people to get over the past when it's still haunting their
present.

Bill Clinton is the most disappointing President in the history of
America.
Here was a guy who suddenly had trillions of dollars at his disposal
with the fall of the Soviet empire.( that was the size of the budget
for defending Western Europe)
Wouldn't some of that money have gone a long way toward establishing
long reaching programs to rebuild inner cities and helping people
break the cycle of violence poverty and despair? Damn right it
would've!
That's enough cash to make a lot of change.
Instead you got more of the same. Very little changed and the spin
doctors quickly focussed attention on other phony "hot-spots".
Had to keep up the embargo on Cuba- big bad scary Cuba. (Funny how
they've managed to achieve a higher literacy rate than the U.S. on a
shoestring.)

The so called conspiracy theory regarding the disproportionate number
of blacks in service during Viet Nam is a chilling thought. It seems
that much more real when you throw in the fact that the CIA really
were selling crack in the ghettos of America.
If there really is such a cynical element still alive in government
today then the future looks bleak.

Again don't tell people to get over history when they are faced with
overwhelming negative odds as a result of that unreconciled history.
Considering all that was and all that is, it is amazing just how many
blacks do achieve success, period.
