That time Hillary Clinton said all Americans are racist and nobody blinked an eye

I did, with this tweet during the debate on Monday:

Mrs just called us all racists. She went there. Wow!

I was surprised Trump didn't jump on that remark.

Shouldn't we be talking about Hillary Clinton's startling proclamation during Monday night's debate that every American has "implicit bias" on race relations?

When asked by moderator Lester Holt (the only time he asked a direct and exclusive question of the Democratic Party's nominee) "Do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people?" Clinton didn't just throw cops under the racist bus, she threw us all under:

Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone. Not just police. I think unfortunately too many of us in our great country, um, jump to conclusions about each other. And therefore I think we need all of us to be asking ourselves hard questions about, you know, why am I feeling this way.

This startling accusation comes just weeks after referring to "half" of Donald Trump supporters as members of a "basket of deplorables" who are "irredeemable" in her eyes. And yet, the comment has largely gone unnoticed.


But, on closer parsing of her remarkable statement, it's important to note that she made much more than an accusation in this pandering response to Holt, she made an admission.

Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone…  I think we need all of us to be asking ourselves hard questions about, you know, why am I feeling this way.

She's including herself in these sweeping generalizations.
