Do you assign Bill Clinton any blame for the sanctions that starved a million Iraqis to death which became one of the primary motivations for the 9-11 attacks?
I assigned him some blame for his "tough on crime" policy that essentially resulted in lots and lots of black people whose parents were victims of structural racism and thus forced into "bad neighborhoods" -- which in turn resulted in lots and lots of black people being in bad school systems and having a hard time getting an honest job -- which in turn resulted in lots and lots of black people in jail for 49058 years as felons for selling a drug that is now legal in many states in one form or another (recreational use, or medical) -- which in turn resulted in lots and lots of black people being unable to have all of the liberties most americans enjoy (owning guns, being able to vote, or hell...once again...getting a decent job).
Yes, I have taken many of the SJW circle jerk classes at my university, as well as the standard US history classes. I've been educated fairly well on some of these topics and have an idea what I am saying when I say that overall I think Clinton was a good president. Was he perfect? Of course not. Did he do some dumb shit (like the above)? Yup.
Did anyone have any idea him being tough on crime (which realistically was mostly due to republicans calling him a big wussie regarding crime and he ended up getting baited into doing this dumb thing he wouldn't have normally done, but needed to do to win the election)? I can't speak to that, but as far as my black female race and racism professor with two PhD's and a passion for SJW rhetoric goes....nope he didn't know anything about it.
