Through triangulation and a policy of 'get tuff on crime', the Clinton's sought to repudiate and distance themselves from the Democratic party's commitment to the struggles of [[African-American]]s.

Hillary became one of the chief spokespersons referring to black teens as dogs. | In 1992, for the first time in nearly half a century, the party platform made no mention of redressing racial injustice.
