- In United States politics, a Sister Souljah moment is a politician's public repudiation of an extremist person or group, statement, or position perceived to have some association with the politician or the politician's party.
It has been described as "a key moment when the candidate takes what at least appears to be a bold stand against certain extremes in their party" and as "a calculated denunciation of an extremist position or special interest group." Such an act of repudiation is designed to signal to centrist voters that the politician is not beholden to traditional, and sometimes unpopular, interest groups associated with the party,[citation needed] although such a repudiation runs the risk of alienating some of the politician's allies and the party's base voters. The term is named after the hip hop artist Sister Souljah.
The term originated in the 1992 presidential candidacy of Bill Clinton.[3] In a Washington Post interview published on May 13, 1992, the hip-hop MC, author, and political activist Sister Souljah was quoted as saying (in response to the question regarding black-on-white violence in the 1992 Los Angeles riots):
When the democratic party still had a backbone
This was a smart and strategic move.
By not denouncing her, he would have lost the independents, libertarians and few Republicans he had on his side.
He did not lose any of his black or Democratic support.
If he had defended her, it would have been his Mondale moment or Dukakis moment.
Mondale was leading in the 1984 polls until he admitted that he was going to raise taxes...that wiped him out.
Dukakis was leading in the 1988 polls until his infamous tank gimmick...that washed him out.
Clinton was not going to make that same mistake.
You seem to be pussyfooting around the fact that Dukakis didn't lose because of the tank photo - he lost become of the racial underbelly of the Atwater campaign. The Willy Horton ad damaged him a lot more, as did his postion against the death penalty - which of course has obvious, obvious racial context.
Also Mondale was not leading ever against the popular Reagan.
Dude lost lots of liberal support
It really don’t matter if he or didn’t. Politics is a dirty business. It’s nothing upstanding about it.
and jesse sat there like a fool smh
Bill knew the media would run with this!
Yup. I bet he got a lot of moderate white voters switched to his side just for this moment. "He's not like them other democrats"
Clinton said this man OBAMA would years ago be carrying my suitcase. What does that tell you about this man?
Andrew Hinds he low down and filthy
He never left the south
Lol
He for slave trade...
Actually he said he would be fetching his coffee. And wasn't meant as a racial thing, it was a knock on how green Obama was in Congress and he was already running for president
The shot was rapper🎯🤸🐐
She did give a statement and she labeled many titles not just a rapper😩
I don't understand why this is so controversial
Because it's not what she said! ua-cam.com/video/DBMCUt4WmBo/v-deo.html
Because he was calling out his own side. A lot of young people, some people of colour, may have been influenced by the rapper. Traditionally this demographic votes Democrat & it would have been easier, though not correct, for Clinton not to call it out.
@@user-ob4wo9po2y plus clinton lied here and knew it wouldnt matter.
Because in 2024, if you're white, you're supposed to apologize and atone for things that you didn't do, on behalf of people that had a similar skin tone to you, that may or may not have done bad things to people with darker skin tones....or something...yeah it's as ridiculous as it sounds.
The fact that black people backed Clinton even though he did this to Sista Souljah! NAACP should be ashamed of themselves for supporting the Clinton's.
OlaGolme you have to remember the naacp is not a black ran organization check the history and see who funds it now
Naacp is a honeypot organization like the noi and urban league
Google Scottsboro boys and the NAACP. The KKK preferred scotsboro boys hire the NAACP lawyers over the IWL lawyers.
He said nothing wrong. What she said was completely idiotic. You don’t have Democrats like Bill Clinton anymore.
@@Kevin51611:
That doesn't sound wholesome; of course, not.
What is the context ? And the occasion?
How long ago has it been prior to Clinton's canvassing?
Is it in response to a question posed to her?
If so, what is the question?
I think Clinton has apologized to his many predatory victims including Jennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky; or, has he?
Sister Souljah is currently a successful six-book author with best-seller's impact.
Go, American African Queen!
If Bill calls himself and the people in that room "good" then evil must be what Jesus was, right?!
Bill Maher brought me here.
Got him an entire 6 claps. Sit down and wait to be judged for fckn Monica Hoewensky😒
Kat B Clinton was a good President. AT LEAST HE CARED!!!!
He was impeached due to his whoremongering 😂😂😂
@@davidlamotta1994 no he was bought and paid for and a freemason. He wasnt good. You guys got to wake up. This is all a show.
*It is said that TIME reveals the TRUE NATURE of things It's 2023 ..........................................GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT ???*
This was a great moment. It was a good thing for him to rebuff extremism, regardless if it's his side saying it.
I don't think you can find anyone that doesn't have oppression in their ancestry.
Who's here from the realignment
I’m here from Thomas Frank’s book “Listen, Liberal”. Lol
Foooooool...
People, please look up her Larry King interview so you can see what she really said. It was taken out of context.
THANK YOU!
Yes
Wow this dude!
Why all the negative comments? What did he say that was incorrect? He called out a racist, plain and simple.
She isn't the true definition of a racist! Look at the history of white socalled civilizations!
Sorry but what?
I got you the definition to save your time.
"
racistˈreɪsɪst/nounnoun: racist; plural noun: racists1. a
person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of
other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to
another."
Sorry but in what way is saying "Shoot up white people" for fun not prejudice?
Is saying "ive never met a good white person" discriminating all white people???
Is it fine me saying "I have never met a good black person" okay? No, it is not.
Or is your logic that 'reverse' racism (which is just racism) is not a real thing...
That's not permitted by these triggered, microaggressed, near-sighted fools. They are willingly cutting off their nose to spite their face.
She’s not a racist for prejudging situations based on history and for speaking truth.
@@daisjarobinson3535 “Prejudging” is a synonym with “discriminate”, therefore prejudging based on race is exactly the same thing as discriminating based on race which is the definition of racism sooooo
do you have sister souljah speech

but we blacks should vote for hilary right????
exactlllyyyyyy i was born in 98 and when i say dont vote for hillary, older people argue up and down with me
nah jafar, vote for who you feel, but enjoy watching the likes of Trump and McConnell run amok with what we now see is an overtly intolerant ideology. Trump already planted Gorsich on the USSC and his justice department is going after state universities for discriminating against whites. I'm sure that you're happy with that right? I hope so because due to idiots like you the republicans are going to do much worse as the next 3 1/2 years go by. And unless you pull your head out, you'll. vote for Stein or Bernie or just stay home in 2020 and we'll be dealing with Trump for two terms.
@Tay Numbers not me I would never vote for that pos
One of Bill Clinton's better moments.
its usual denial, deflection and delusion....what's 'better' about this?
@@ucanthandledatruth01 he told the truth she was a racist and he told the truth about Blacks like that who practice racism like hers
If you can't see the pure political genius of this, you are ruefully stupid.@@ucanthandledatruth01
Better???This man called himself good? He is a horrible individual through and through
@@iaintmadatcha Sarcasm?
DAMN LIE!
Sista Souljah’s speech was and still is relevant. This clown sounds like Mr. Magoo at his attempt at being aloof.
Just shows how dumb and asleep this country is. The American Dream is real...but you have to be unconscious to live it!!!
Listen, Joe Biden is the only one who can tell Black people what to say what to think what to do and when to do it! Joe Biden will teach the Black community how to be Black! 👍🏾 🇺🇸
@@TheIkaika777 oh piss up a rope. I forgot black ppl were happier when Trump was in office

She was wrong, and Bill was right to say what he said. With that kind of rhetoric I might as well join the CCC or alt-right just so I can protect myself.
#CutTheCheck
Jesse Jackson said hymie town
That must have been after he took off blackface
What happened to the democratic party? Nobody would say anything today.
Everybody stop with this out of context crap. Sister Souljah was answering specifically the question about the black people rioting in South Central Los Angeles and especially those that nearly beat Reginald Denny to death. Her answer should have been one where she reminded the reporter that those men beating on Reginald Denny had just heard the not guilty verdict on the LAPD officers who nearly beat Rodney King to death. She should have ended by saying that without the riots in South Central the federal government would never have gotten involved to finally prosecute and convicted of those officers on federal charges the way they did. The answer she gave was totally irresponsible and she was not a teenager she was an adult woman saying it.

Hillary isn't half the man he is. Incredible.
She’s a woman
@@mightyraccoon7155what’s a woman?
@@its_rick_james_bich2575 A human adult with XX chromosomes.
(I realize the idea of “adult” is subjective but most societies in history put the age between 13-20; now it’s usually 16-18).
@@connerclark3678 so are you stating when Vogue magazine named Caitlyn Jenner woman of the year…there may have been some technical discrepancies in doing so?
Damn! Jessie was sitting right next to Bill when Bill he was spouting that BS!!!
bananafish58 what was the Bs he was spouting specifically? Since he was reading a quote and giving his opinion, how is it Bs?
He didn't look too happy about it lmao
Jesse was waiting for his Rainbow/PUSH check so he could move his side piece and their kid to that condo in LA
How was it bs he was spouting out facts bro. Sister Souljah is a racist.
Sister Souljah is a realist she spoke facts and we know you white people can't handle facts
When black Democrat school board members in Democrat controlled cities in Democrat controlled States stop thinking like Sista Souljah your people will advance in the world. After all there are only 42 million blacks and 170 million whites. The black communities need to wake up and take control of improving the lives of those people in those ghettos.
What kinda early 90’s contacts was he wearing..... talking about that room was full of good white people. And put most of the men in modern slavery.
😧who posted this crap?!
Sista Soulja did nothing wrong
She's not a rapper....
And I think he really misunderstood what Sista sta Souljah was talking about.
She was a rapper, look up 360 degrees of power. She was also affiliated with Public Enemy
I wish the Clintons would just go AWAY.
Don't we all?
"If the roles are reversed". The point is the roles aren't reversed, they werent and arernt. The damage has been done.
Could never be reversed
She said all white people are evil and you think she's in the right. just goes to show how far identity politics has gone
@@ugp301 There's a difference between understanding how someone feels and agreeing, they're two different things
@@polkunusI understand that her views are racist trash that don’t deserve attention. What else is there?
Sister Souljah was right then and what she said is still right now.
And thats all facts my brother
Joe B-e everything she said was a 100 percent right
im praying for ya buddy
I feel sorry for you to be tied to those beliefs that there are no good white people. Very sad.
I'm sorry you feel that way. Most people in America are immigrants and had no part in the pain inflicted on black people in this country. I understand though, I'd probably feel the same way.
“we all make mistakes” yea 500 years worth
He’s 500? That’s wild.
Ignorant ppl say Clinton was our first black president. Sista came to help him cover that golf game. PERIOD
It’s an obvious joke
All of this talk while denying his half Black son Danny.
Exactly. Never even acknowledged him.
And I still stand by my statement.
😂
Where are all the good white people? This question remains unanswered!
Comparing Sister Souljah to David Duke is uniquely stupid. At best.
Foh Bill.
ME$$Y JESSIE sitting up there and never once defended Sister Souljah. She was right and Billy Boy knew exactly what he was doing for the media.
I can see where he got his "Slick Willie" moniker from.
But eh, so what? Just swat him now and then.
Reading these comments, I am struck by the lack of knowledge of the history of racism amongst many of the commenters. I recommend an excellent book "Where Do We Go From Here". It is the last book written by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Do any of you actually remember segregation with separate and unequal schools, separate water fountains where the few allowed to black people were often broken, when the majority of white doctors in the South would not treat black patients, when a black person with an advanced degree from an Ivy League school would end up in menial jobs? Do you remember? I am white, but I remember rather clearly. I was eleven the day my white elementary school was integrated. I remember watching the news and seeing George Wallace trying to block the first black students entering the door of the University of Alabama. I remember seeing the brutality on the bridge in Selma, Alabama. I remember a cross burning in my rural county in Georgia.
Things are very far from perfect, now, but do not pretend that things are as bad, now, as they have been in the past. We have never addressed nor truly mitigated the lasting effects of slavery, and this is something we must do together because racism has as corrosive effect on white people as black people, but not in the same way.
I think reparations of some sort must be made, but I think it needs to be in a form that will have a lasting effect such as higher outcomes in education, work, and personal aspiration. That might be in the form of a monthly payment or focus on poor schools or tuition for education or some combination, but do not sit and think things are as bad as they could be because we have come a long way. We just have a long way to go, yet.

Who the fuck is dd?

Tell it like it is SISTA SOULJA 🦍✊🏿💪🏿✌🏿
she is right
Her comments were filled with hatred. Period. He should’ve called her out
What she said!
Where are all the good white people? This question remains unanswered!
This is one time Bill is on the right side of the law
Hes pissed off bc of the suggestion of cutting off the program.
Were you sensative when you sign off on the crime Bill..... Bill. To hell with your country club. Sista Soulja stands on truth!!
Sista Soulja supported the Crime Bill, here comment was precisely that the government was not sending enough police officers to black neighbourhoods.
Bill Clinton can't find his spot in hell fast enough for me.
Bill was totally out of order comparing her to David Duke like that wow!!
A racist is a racist. She doesn’t speak for all of us.
How? She said a bunch of racist garbage and called for violence against people of a race she didn’t like, David Duke does the exact same thing.
I agree with him :p

Good statement.
How ignorant. If you play golf at a place where african americans play golf, that does not make you any less of a racist.
He said rap singer lol 👎🏾
This is the best thing about clintons tactically speaking, they sit in the centre, they criticize far right and also they criticize far left when needed.
You're a moron. Bill Clinton was part of the far right. He made the Democratic Party into a far right party.
Nothing better than a fence sitting, bootlicker?
This guy is a reactionary, neoliberal - the only time these wankers want to talk about "race" is when a dark skinned person airs their (justified) grievances.
@@freudianslippers6567 Normies don't see the tactic. They use us to appear reasonable, while enabling the right to pass discriminatory laws.
When did Clinton ever criticize the right? All he ever did was appoint Wall Street Lackeys to his cabinet and pass right wing legislation......NAFTA, the crime bill. Welfare "Reform" where 70% of recipients were children [Chris Hedges], repeal of glass steagal and Intestate Banking Laws, telecommunications Deregulation, cutting the capital gains tax while increasing taxes on working people [Joseph Stiglitz]. Show me the Left wing policy that this "centrist" embraced. Bill Clinton is a Conservative through and through. Clinton even believes in Supply Side Economics, and Bob WoodWard has pointed out "He was not trying just to help the Bond Market, he [Clinton] claimed. The Bond Market was just the vehicle for helping the middle class".
Committed all kinds of crimes against humanity but now its wrong after 400+ years!!!
He’s 400? That’s wild
Everything Sistah Souljah said was True!!!
And still is true!
This and welfare reform are the only times I ever agreed with Bill Clinton.
He wasn't for welfare reform... it was forced down his throat from the House and Senate
My queen didn't make a mistake you did on your wife.....

What the hell was that? Biden can't twll his azz from his mouth. His memory is fading. Trump warned the people but they wouldn't listen. A man that wants money can be controlled he who has and continues to make his money isn't a world puppet.

Wow what a brilliant women
Bill Clinton had to repudiate her. She needed to frame her answer in a better context. He was going for the center and she was the extreme. It's no different than a Republican who had to repudiate the KKK or neo Nazis. I don't know about the record numbers of being in prison but I do know if you haven't done the crime you won't do the time.
He quoted her out of context. ua-cam.com/video/DBMCUt4WmBo/v-deo.html
@@hyacinth1320 On purpose but in politics the willfully ignorant aren't aware of these tactics.
nah she had every right to say what she said, in the way that she said it. white people have never listened or done anything about the plight of black americans. if you're being violently attacked do you politely ask your attacker to please stop? or do you scream your head of until someone hears you?
Where are all the good white people? This question remains unanswered!
You obviously aren't black. Please sit down and zip it.
I'm not a fan of Bill Clinton. But he's on point about Sister Souljah's rhetoric. She segregates blacks and project them as powerless ANIMALS that can do nothing right on their own without "white help." Sister Souljah's rhetoric robs African-Americans the dignity, self-respect, and most importantly their innate intelligence and natural desire for self-betterment... and fostering a sense of dependency and victimhood. So long as blacks follow Sister Souljah's perspective, I'll guarantee that they will never amount to anything other than dooming their own children and posterities to lifelong victimhood.
Boyyyy stopppp!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean the fact that she teachers empowerment and fosters the growth of self resilience?
You are the one calling us animals. She wad right to call out the devils
@@uthman9979OP never called anyone an animal
You totally missed her point...she definitely did not believe in whites helping she said if u call yourself a democracy don't turn a blind eye to inequality. Don't ever
I thought his best was a black golfer don't mess with Bill where you black golfer friend where em at where em at bill bill bill you best fix this or you gonna make them duck on yall ducked up hairdo and all. but you smart tell hilarious nights want reparations
Do ya'll people think Biden is better?
They are the same. Look up their crime bills that has devastated the black community.
@@sakhu8945 hahahaha by putting criminals in jail? That's what devastated the black community? Looks like the black community is worse off today without those crime bills exisisting.
Jesse Jackson should have rebuked him. This has been a problem for far too long: our people jockeying for power in lieu of principle-although I still respect Jesse.
it wasn't his turn to speak
Bunch of crap.
She's damn sure right
That isn't the way she said it. Her comment was taken waaaay out of context, and no doubt, deliberately so
Why is bill being racist
Because he was calling out a damn racist. She doesn’t speak for all of us. Period
