Accusing Clinton of "mimicking black dialect," Walter Williams didn't note she was reciting hymn in Selma speech

SUMMARY: Syndicated columnist Walter Williams accused Sen. Hillary Clinton of "insulting blacks" during her Selma speech on March 4 by "mimicking black dialect." He wrote, "Commemorating a key point in American history is one thing, but a white person mimicking black dialect is demeaning and insulting." But as Clinton herself stated during the speech, she was quoting from a hymn by Rev. James Cleveland.
