Let's get some things straight: the 1994 crime bill had devastating consequences on black communities — including on black children.

One of the targets of the 1994 crime bill are the children that Hillary Clinton infamously dehumanized, calling them "superpredators."
-
The 1994 crime bill is the reason we still don't know how to work ourselves out of the incarceration conundrum we find ourselves in.
-
The racist 1994 crime bill was such a disaster that Bill Clinton himself denounced it last year. Before choosing instead to defend it today.

That bill, of course, is different than the 1996 welfare bill. It wasn't just racism that informed that legislation — it was also misogyny.

The 1996 welfare people put families on the street. It was especially bad for single black mothers and their children. It's indefensible.
-
When Bill Clinton talks about how great the 1994 and 1996 bills were, he's defending policies that continue to devastate black people.

Bill Clinton could have easily said, "I was wrong to sign those bills into law, but let's get things right moving forward." But he didn't.
