4. The statitics are incorrect. Give me some solid proof about the HIV. So far, the finger been pointed at Blacks. And I know that is a lie, unless they are including the Black in south Africa.

5. Let's talk about AIDS and keep it real. There's no outrage because AIDS isn't as threatening as it once was. AIDS is now becoming more of an opportunity to make money and discriminate than a public health crisis. In America, HIV doesn't generate the fear or respect of the population. We look at the people with AIDS as if they did something wrong or due to their behavior, they deserve it. Hillary's comments about White women is partially correct because we'd wonder what were these women doing to deserve AIDS. We don't care what Black women are doing to deserve AIDS because some don't value them all all. Hollywood is trying to identify those with AIDS and those who test negative to determine who can be devalued. AIDS is none of our business. It cannot be used to discriminate or devalue anyone regardless of color. It cannot be used as an opportunity to make money from someone's pain. AIDS is a crisis being handled the wrong way. Discrimination is never the answer. A virus doesn't care about your race, your job, or if you can afford health care. The problem is most of us just don't care if you live or die. All we care about is not catching it by forced testing. It won't work if you don't care who you have sex with for business or pleasure.

6. hilary is right. let some pretty, high profile, white lady come out and say that she has AIDS and next thing you know, the health care she needs to survive would be there. also, ppl would be coming out of the woodwork to try to help, "those like her." it's fucking twisted man!

10. Hillary Clinton need to stut the fu_k up! Her whore of a husband, Bill, were in the White House for 8 years and were busy stealing everything that was not nail down. She didn't give a fat rat about Black people then and will only use them every chance she get!

11. Hillary,as always on point again.

12. She's just discovered that the press, health care, and charity fund raising are all racist? WOW!!

13. I;m sorry although Hillary made a point, the core of her analysis was racist. aids is color blind, and a lot of rich white women do have the virus but either it's downplayed or as the law required is kept confidential (as it should be) Hillary Clinton is just an opportunist, she is playing on the sentiments of the black females in order to get more votes. I just pray my black sisters are ahead of the game and can see through the bull---t she's throwin out! If she was really concerened about the black women she would've convinced her husband in his eight years in office to say the same, as that hasn't happened it proves to me she'll do anything to become the first female president- no holds barred! (Black people "wake up smell the fertilizer before the grass starts growin!")

14. WHAT A SOUND BYTE!! WHAT HAS SENATOR DONE ABOUT THIS WHILE SHE HAS BEEN A SENATOR? WHAT LEGISLATION OR PROGRAMS HAS SHE SUBMITTED NOT JUST FOR HEALTH OR HIV AIDS; BUT FOR ANY INNER CITY URBAN ISSUE LIKE UNEMPLOYMENT; JOBS,CHILD CARE; ETC? SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES;BUT WHAT PRECISELY HAS SHE DONE DURING HER TENURE IN THE SENATE? THE ANSWER IS NOTHING!! HERE AGAIN BLACK AMERICA IS BEING TREATED LIKE CHILDREN BY DEMOCRATS--GIVING US CANDY SO WE CAN BE QUIET AND PACIFIED

15. While Hillary's statement is true, it is so sad that Barack Obama couldn't have said that. He would have been acused of playing the race card. Am I right?
