BlackCommentator.com has learned  that Bill Clinton, while president, 
repeatedly praised the United Daughters of  the Confederacy (_UDC_ 
(http://www.hqudc.org/) ). This is an organization that many, including some 
whites  and a 
former U.S. senator from Illinois, have called racist.  
According to the _Southern Poverty Law Center_ 
(http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=462) , which tracks 
hate groups, the UDC  is a 
neo-Confederate organization which is affiliated with such white  supremacist 
groups as the Council of Conservative Citizens and the League of the  South. 
Formed in 1894, the UDC limits its membership to women who are related to  
Confederate veterans of the âWar Between the States.â  
In 2000,  the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that [a]lthough the UDC 
promotes an image  of genteel Southern ladiesâits publicationsâ tell a 
different 
story, adding that  recently the âUDCâs president, Mrs. William Wells, 
shared 
the podium withâwhite  supremacist lawyer Kirk Lyons.â  
In a  1989 UDC Magazine article, Walter W. Lee argued that âpurchasers of 
slavesâ were  actually victims of slavery, while âthe worse suffering group 
among those  engaged in the tradeâ were âthe crews of slave ships.â Lee 
also made 
light of  the horrific and deadly Middle Passage, claiming that "the sixteen 
inches of  deck space allotted each slave is not all that smaller than the 
eighteen inches  the Royal Navy allowed for each sailor's hammock and the 
slaves 
rapidly had more  room due the much higher death rate."  
In her  quest for the presidency, the U.S. Senator from New York has 
presented herself  as a qualified expert on civil rights and a participant in 
the 
civil rights  movement. 
Senator  Clinton has also put forth her belief that all candidates for the 
office should  be thoroughly scrutinized, that no one should be immune, and all 
of the  presidential candidates should be required to justify their stance on 
the issues  before the voters and explain any contradictions that might  
arise.
