The NAACP announced Monday that former President Bill Clinton will be in San Antonio on Wednesday evening at the group’s 109th national convention to deliver remarks and introduce an award winner.
Clinton will announce Willie Brown Jr. as 2018’s Spingarn Medal winner. The award, which started in 1914, is given each year to someone who represents “the highest or noblest achievement by a living American Negro during the preceding year or years,” according to a news release.
Brown is a former mayor of San Francisco who served for two terms and a former speaker of the California State Assembly. Today, he leads the Willie L. Brown Jr. Institute on Politics and Public Service, a nonprofit dedicated to providing a forum for nonpartisan education, debate, and discussion of public policy.
The 42nd president will speak at the convention’s Freedom Fund Awards Dinner on Wednesday night at the Henry B. González Convention Center. The program starts at 7:30 p.m.
This is the second time Clinton has spoken in San Antonio publicly in 2018. He previously addressed an audience at the Tobin Center during a book tour stop.
Go away Bill…you’re a dinosaur…and a drag on the Democratic Party…take Hillary, Sanders, Sheila Jackson Lee, Nancy and Al Sharpton width ya…we need fresh faces…not cadavers…
Even with Donald Trump as President (and his distractions) too little is said about the poor shape the Democrat Party. With openly racist (though politically correct) groups and individuals spewing hatred. Today in South Africa former President Obama meeting with and speaking to anti-white racist who have called for the killing of whites and confiscation of their property is shocking. Yet the press is silent. Why?
Same reason that we don’t hear about many reports of Mexico outpacing American homicides by the tens of thousands, even though they have 200 million less people.
Same reason the majority of the focus is on how evil the Trump administration is for trying to stop illegal immigration by casting him as a racist and a bigot. Therefore any attempt to ebb the flow of illegal immigration is seen as an attempt at removing any and all brown people from our nation. That somehow by securing our borders he desires a white ethnostate.
Same reason that Democrats don’t come forth with a solution to stop illegal immigration at all.
Same reason that the Democrats advocate to abolish ICE and create sanctuary cities.
Same reason you can make fun of Trump’s skin color, hair color, weight, his wife, his children, call them “feckless c___t” and his friends with immunity but when he does the same it’s a travesty.
Identity politics.
Democrats don’t want to curb the flow of immigration. They have so completely solidified in the American psyche that if you are an immigrant, brown, black, a woman, or gay, that you have abandoned yourself and everything you’re supposed to stand for if you vote Republican. Tribalism. The idea that Hispanics have to vote one way. Blacks have to vote the same way. That we have to end the majority white vote by ganging together to silence white privilege.
More Hispanic illegals entering the country by the thousands every year will eventually mean a Hispanic majority in Texas. It’s a desired outcome for the Democrats. That is the goal. To turn the state blue no matter the cost to the American people and the relief programs that they must pay for with their hard earned money. The disinformation. The lack of real news. All you have to do is read the newspapers from Mexico and you get a good picture.
The same reason that you have been fed the line that you are not a good Christian if you refuse to donate to RAICES.
Votes.
Dear Bars,
I’m interested in reading the Mexican newspapers you refer to. Names and or specific articles.
I am perplexed that former President Obama is not addressing the group. Why are we still rolling out Bill Clinton, he is the “three strikes and 25 years in prison” person. So many of our brothers and sisters and other minority persons are in prison because of this action. Has he apologized for this horrible policy?
