E-mails, e-mails, e-mails…
What happened?
• While Secretary of State, Clinton apparently used her private e-mail server to trade work-related e-mails with secret information regarding national security. These e-mails are easier to hack into than those stored on a federal server.
More Ideas…
• This WSJ article expresses people’s belief that Clinton has been dishonest about her e-mail malfunction. I think the article is exceptionally vague and boring, as it cites “intelligence experts” that argue about the degree to which her e-mails are ‘classified.’ I don’t really learn anything from it besides the fact that certain people want to portray this as a dramatic scandal but lack a clear way to indict Clinton.
Clinton’s “Rosa Parks” Logo Sparks Anger
Source: NOLA.com: “Why Hillary Clinton’s Rosa Parks logo was wrong”
What happened?
• Clinton developed a special logo for her campaign that includes the figure of Rosa Parks in commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of Parks’ civil disobedience on the bus in Montgomery AL
• The logo suggests Parks would support Clinton if she were alive.
• People have responded with anger for these reasons:
1. She can’t claim a deceased American civil rights hero would support her
2. This is an example of white people co-opting the achievements of black people
3. Rosa is sitting at the back, not the front of the logo.
More Ideas…
• Neither party can ‘claim’ the civil rights movement as their own
• However, Parks worked for a democratic congress member for 24 years
