On top of that he addresses RACISM in every since speech.
On top of all of that, I could honestly give two sh!ts about Clinton's empty promises, because I - like many Democrats and pretty much every Republican - finds her to be dishonest and corrupt and untrustworthy.
Paying lip service to racism - or human rights, of women's rights - is NOT a better solution to racism than creating a system where millions of black kids can go to college. It's also not better than raising the minimum wage to a living wage or making healthcare a right.
This is what kills me about all of this, when Hillary was SOS she REGULARLY made public statements about countries and how they breached human rights, or women's rights, or minority rights, but THEN - sometimes in the same month - she'd turn around and approve arms deals to these same countries and their oppressive leaders... and 4x as many of these countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation got these deals approved by Hillary then those that didn't.
So speechifying is grand... good for her for making promises - vague promises - but I don't and won't ever believe they are genuine, based on her well documented record or hypocrisy and corruption.
