Like child’s play, radio talk show host Larry Elder burned Hillary Clinton over recent remarks she made about black Americans.
Pandering to a voting bloc critical to her chances of success in November, a voting bloc whose turnout is already questionable with Barack Obama no longer on the ballot, Clinton lectured white people last week about being better listeners when black Americans talk.
White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the barriers they face.https://t.co/rmzeEG5HoC

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was referring to what she called “the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens,” while calling for federal policing guidelines to tackle systemic racism in American police departments.
This coming the day after five officers were killed in Dallas by a black assassin sympathetic to the violent Black Lives Matter movement.
In a mic-drop moment, Elder reminded Clinton that blacks are not only a minority based on race, but are also a minority when it comes to poor Americans:
"White people" need to "listen up" to "legitimate cries" from blacks."

The reaction on social media showed that most users appreciated Elder’s candor… here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

@larryelder She’s simply pandering. If these hypocrites really believed in their dishonest rhetoric, they’d be living a life like Ghandi.

@larryelder This should not be happening in the “Land of Plenty”. No one should suffer like this.

@larryelder, poor blacks vote for Democrats. Democrats make sure poor blacks get just enough to stay poor. Democrats are despicable people.

@larryelder The assumption there is that 19M poor whites have upward mobility that 10M poor blacks don’t. Which is low expectation bigotry

@larryelder @BeachAddict80 wonder why those 19 million poor whites don’t exercise their white privilege. #myths
