Duration: 19:14 hillary clinton spoke on race in america at the gave a great speech today at National Urban League Conference Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, former Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL), Dr. Ben Carson, former Governor Martin O’Malley (D-MD), and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) spoke at the National Urban League conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking to a mostly African American crowd here Friday morning, decried racial inequality and took an indirect swipe at Republican rival Jeb Bush, who will speak here later in the morning.
"The opportunity gap that America is facing is not just about economic inequality," said Clinton, mentioning the central theme of Democratic rival Bernie Sanders. "It is about racial inequality."
Clinton saved her most pointed criticism for Bush. While she did not mention his name, she called out "Right to Rise," the name of the pro-Bush super PAC operated by his top allies.
"I don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise and then say you're for phasing out Medicare or for repealing Obamacare," she said. "People can't rise when they can't afford health care."
She added: "And you cannot seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote."
