Black scholar: Hillary better for blacks than Bill Clinton or Obama

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is likely to be a much better president for African Americans due to her personal interaction with the younger Black Lives Matter and older civil rights movements, and passion to do more than offer lip service, according to a top black scholar.

“If she continues to grow, and refuses to drink from the trough of white privilege, she may achieve something that neither Bill nor Barack can claim: a presidency built on racial transparency and honesty, one that doesn’t lecture black people about what they should do to get themselves together, but instead thrives on principled engagement with black suffering,” penned Georgetown professor and author Michael Eric Dyson in the New Republic.
