NYCLU: Schools Are Safer Without Metal Detectors
The once rosy relationship between Harlem and Bill Clinton may have soured significantly due to some of the tenser moments spawned from the drawn out primary battle between his wife Hilary and Barack Obama. The NY Times has a piece today about black residents still harboring a grudge against the former president who has kept an office in Harlem since 2001. After several highly publicized comments during the campaign from Mr. Clinton that were perceived as racially insensitive, one resident describes the general response in Harlem to be: “You’re part of the family. We bring you in, and then when we turn around, you kind of knifed us in the back.”

Clinton is the ultimate gentrifier, making it safe for whites to move in.
Maybe him and his carpetbagging wife can move to another country and become president of it.
What a great idea, Matty!
Honestly I don't think most Harlem residents give a shit. They'll still like the man regardless.
If you try to criticize Obama on any issue, your words will be put through such scrutiny that the slightest slip may be perceived as racially insensitive. Everyone campaigning against him has to walk on egg shells and any and all slip ups will be exaggerated by the media beyond belief. I'll give Bubba the benefit of the doubt.
Matty, great suggestion!
"move to another country"
How about another planet...that old astronaut says theres other places to live in space, send them there
"move to another country"
He did.
Aren't the racist bastards the white liberals who promoted Obama? White liberals have a tendency to promote underqualified black males to high level positions in order show how racist they are insteading of promoting those black males who stand up for themselves.
The residents of Harlem suffer from group think. I doubt she and him used the people of color for gain since many of the issues she has supported and champion (more than Obama) are directly connected and relevant to communities of color. Overall group think is what destroys the black community, not racism. If they liberate themselves from thinking that voting for Obama because he's black is the best thing for them or for the democratic party their options increase.
BINGO = ASSHAT
The Clintons stab white people in the back too; nothing to do with skin color. They're equal opportunity scumbags.
Were the people of Harlem really that naive to think the Clinton lovefest was anything more than political expedience on their part?
you go to hell bingo buddy i swear all you dumb ass black people prove all those scientists right when they say whites are more intelligent. all you obama supporters are a bunch of two faced bastards. you sucked up to bill clinton when he was supporting your minority grievances and you all are the ones that have turned on him. if you want someone to hate you need to hate jesse jackson yes the man who probably made it possible for your dumb black ass to be able to read and comprehend and write on a computer blog. yes turn on him since he has told on himself and has exposed how trifaling stupid and two faced idiots lots of black people are! excluding me of course.
BINGOSBUDDY, YOU ARE ONE STUPID JACKASS. CLINTON WAS ONLY SAYING HOW BLACKS AND WHITES VOTED. THERE'S NOTHING RACIST ABOUT TELLING THE TRUTH. CLINTON DID A HELL OF A LOT FOR BLACK COMMUNITIES DURING HIS PRESIDENCY TOO.
ides of march, YOU ARE ONE STUPID JACKASS AS WELL. YOU NEED TO STOP BELIEVING BIAS MEDIA REPORTS.
Rfive, YOU ARE STUPID. If you think that Bill Clinton is focusing on whites only, YOU ARE ONE STUPID JACKASS
