Civil Rights and the Clinton Machine



New York Times: Interesting article that's shows how much of the Establishment candidate the Clinton Machine has become, the NYT point out an interview given by Hillary Clinton as an example of how experience is more important that hope, in this case LBJ v the role of Martin Luther King. It was the Civil Rights movement that was the fire for change, the skills of LBJ with the help of Republicans got new laws on to the books, but it was MLK and his hope of a better future of African Americans that got equal rights for African Americans, reality, the master skills of LBJ needed the hope of Dr King. If Clinton does not understand that she could lose all the good gained by her husband within the African American community.
