Agreed.
, the police won't harm you unless you threaten them or make make threatening action, and if you feel discriminated against in a police encounter, please call this 1-800 number hot line and report it, and we'll look into it.

classic right wing personal attack
I doubt if this is true - totally . If I were in his shoes, his skin , I'd feel the same .. We DO have a lot of scum here at home .. Check our the right wing sites .. Talk with a few people -directly .. How many of us support Trump ...Barrack Obama doesn't care about white people...
In the wake of police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota, President Obama issued a statement in which he attempted to link those incidents to alleged systemic racism and bias in the criminal justice system even before all of the facts were known or had been investigated. He said, for example:
Of course, we're left to assume that the reason these two men are dead is because the police in question were racist. This is completely irresponsible and not what one would expect from a president who is supposed to engage in and promote an honest discussion of the topic while serving as a means to unite and calm the public. Instead, almost from the day he entered office when he commented publicly on the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Obama has inflamed the discussion on race in this country and incited passions on both sides. He is without a doubt the most racially divisive president this country has seen in a long time, perhaps since Lincoln.
Enough already, Mr. President. Just shut up--please.
Anybody that takes the side of one group and throws the other under the buss is going to be divisive. That is including our president.

Racism is very real. It exists in every socio-economic group, in every part of this country, and there are racists in all of the races. What does that have to do with Obama's words being harmful or helpful?
you should read a quote before you quote it
I did read it. I quoted it. You said "this thread is a bunch of whites not wanting to be honest about racism." The thread is about Obama, not a bunch of "whites".
incorrect, I just described the true intent of the thread.
Meh. Blacks already had victim status, the seeds were sown long before Obama held any office. Much of it now has been brought out out increased media attention to unwarranted black killings more so than Obama.I agree. Shut up already. IMO, had President Obama wanted to uplift blacks in our country, he would have tackled the cultural divide that so plainly exists. He could have hammered home the importance of edication. Looked at reforming education to give young black men the promise of worthwhile jobs. Discouraged the scourge of fatherless homes.
While I admire Michelle Obama's interest in nutrition, she could have done so much more.
President Obama gave blacks in this country victim status. That is sooo unfortunate. I know it was by design. Much of what's happened to blacks in this country has been so. I just dont understand why.

I can't read the OP's mind. Perhaps you can.
The content of the OP is not only legitimate, it's actually being discussed in the media. Repeatedly.
I acknowledge racism exists. There are white racists, black racists, Hispanic racists, and so on. You can't turn on the television the last few days without hearing about it. Racist cops who kill black men, racist shooters who kill white cops.
Now, have Obama's comments (I'll change it from "rhetoric" to make it benign) been harmful or helpful?
yes, the OP is certainly biased and prejudicial. Obamas comments have been just fine. those that insist on racism will find them harmful. Those that oppose him will find them harmful.
So you don't actually want to discuss the issue. Okay, fair enough. Maybe someone will come along who wants to critically analyze the impact of Obama's words, since the words of the leader of the free world are important.
And, he, along with members of his party, would have been more aggressive in attacking the illegal alien problem, rather than encouraging and rewarding those who accepted their invitation.
If one is truly interested, look at what is happening in Black Communities around the country. Consider the economic harm illegal immigration has inflicted on them. Compton, one of the first Black run cities in California is now 65% Hispanic. Other communities in Southern California show the same result. Cities across the country are under the same pressure.
While paying lip service to Blacks with never ending platitudes, and expecting total subservience, Democrats have opened the flood gates to the next group they hope to exploit.
If Blacks can't get past the rhetoric that has caused them to reject the Republican party, I understand, but they should find something other than the Democratic Party to support, as the outrageous way they are being treated by it should negate any further support.
The only reason Compton was black before the Hispanics took over is because the blacks ran the whites out of there. It had been a nice community in the 50's before blacks moved in. I doubt if there's one previously white city in America that turned black, that hasn't experienced this. Racist? Nope. Realist. Unfortunately our politicians and most democrats don't have a clue.
How many of us support Trump ...
