Hillary: Undecided on Platform Apology for Slavery?
Clinton camp silent on repudiating party platforms attacking blacks, Asians.
(Page 3 of 3)
* Will Hillary Clinton lead the Democrats to an on-the-record platform apology for its repeated and very much on-the-record insistence on injecting race into American politics?
* Does she feel her party has anything to apologize for in this respect?
* Does she see no need to have it apologize?
This opportunity, along the lines of making lemonade when you’ve been handed a lemon, seems the perfect opportunity for Hillary Clinton to showcase her ability to lead on “Day One” of a new day for the Democrats — and America — when it comes to race.
Yet her campaign’s answer, so far, is silence. No wonder Ted Kennedy supports Obama.
