Last week, the candidate leading her party's primary field was endorsed by the Grand Dragon of the California chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. The candidate is a formidable sight, a bold, blonde force who has led their party for months, has dominated the press, and has won a commanding lead with a loyal southern firewall of voters stirred to action by bold statements about race.

The candidate is Hillary Clinton.

So far in the Democratic primary, Clinton has commanded the minority vote, which has delivered her victory in state after state, especially in the south. It's not the only predictor of her performance; but as Bernie Sanders has triumphed in states with low minority populations, Clinton has triumphed in states with higher ones. Overwhelmingly, minority voters have placed their trust in Hillary Clinton, which is why an endorsement from the Klan should be alarming to her and her supporters.

As a commentator, the following quote sends chills down my spine:

I cannot reveal my sources...It’s my opinion – if you know what I mean, wink, wink. I don’t want her to come back and say I’m slandering her.

He also said that Trump's policies weren't effective enough or plausible enough to earn his support as a racist.

When former KKK leader David Duke came forward and endorsed Donald Trump a few weeks ago, he was deeply, deeply criticized for taking two days to disavow the endorsement. People were right to be concerned - to take two days to denounce something so visibly evil (although he already did 20 years prior) is alarming. But the end fact is that he did do it. This was all from the mere support of a former KKK official.

Now we have Hillary Clinton. Will Quigg, the current leader of the California KKK, has not only endorsed her but actively alleged that KKK members have been reassured that she is lying to manipulate the minority vote. This is a very blunt claim that Clinton is a racist. At the time of writing, it's been four days since this happened. Hillary has said nothing!

Considering her history of calling children of color "super-predators," racially charged campaigning, and exclusion of Black Lives Matter from her rallies, all mixed together with a heartfelt eulogy for another former leader of the Klan, this is deeply unsettling.

I have promised to be politically neutral in my journalism, at least until the upcoming election. It's against my policy to openly endorse a candidate; but until Hillary is able to prove that she genuinely cares about the rights of the people she so often courts for votes, I personally will have difficulty supporting someone who can call a Republican a terrorist on queue but can't decide whether to condemn the possibility that she is an implicit, if not overt, racist.
