Hillary Clinton has been pandering for the black vote in New York for weeks now. At Al Sharpton’s event, she said whites need to check their ‘privilege’. During the debate last night, where she was loudly booed, Hillary Clinton said whites are systemic racists. No one mentions the fact that her hubby Bill Clinton golfed proudly at an all-white country club years ago when he was running for president the first time around.

After months of presenting himself as a Southern candidate with a good civil rights record, Gov. Bill Clinton has suddenly found himself under criticism for a classic gesture of racial separation: playing golf at an all-white country club.
Mr. Clinton was chided by a leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Little Rock and by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia for playing golf on Wednesday at the Country Club of Little Rock, an upper-crust bastion in the Arkansas state capital. The rebuke by Dale Charles, president of the Little Rock chapter of the civil rights group was first reported on Thursday by The Washington Times.
He said as part of his defense that his chief of staff, William Bowen, was leading an effort to integrate the club. Mr. Bowen said he and others were sponsoring nonwhite candidates for membership in the organization, but no application had been acted on yet. Club officials did not return telephone calls today.
