President Obama's Disasterous Record on Race

And thank you for showing your true nature....

Ferguson is similar to many other towns and cities in the US that were once thriving, and now are ran down, high crime areas. If you think this is due to 'institutional racism', then you are looking for an easy scapegoat.


Partisan? Come on you know very well the above is not what I have said.

Sounded like it.

Police shoot people in general way too much in the US.

The US averages 15,000 homicides per year. We have 1,400,000 gang members, and untold numbers of cartel members in the US. The police are the ones who have to deal with these violent people. It only makes sense that they must sometimes use violence against violent people.

There are far more whites in the US, so of course more whites are shot by the police.

And 43% of people who kill police officers are black here. Are blacks institutionally violent against police?

However you are in utter denial if you think that the a lot of police dont treat black people differently than white people. There is plenty of evidence of this from all over the country.

From all over the media, yes. Fake news Pete.

This sadly also means that you get situations where black people are shot just for being black and "threatening". It is the institutional racism that is in a lot of police forces and local government. Not all, hell not even a majority (maybe), but a lot. This is should not be a partisan issue, but it has turned into one thanks to the Tea Party / alt right / GOPers. Everyone should be against institutional racism in any part of government, and yet you have the right defending police and local government that clearly are racist. When a police officer shoots a fleeing black guy in the back, that is murder.. and yet some on the right dont see it that way... pathetic.

You used one single case of a bad police officer's decision to prove nationwide institutional racism. Sorry if I'm not convinced.

Case after case of police shooting unarmed black males should make you wonder.. But yea, maybe the media should also focus on the police shooting unarmed white males, if there are any (there should be considering the amount of violence over there).. But dont let that deflect away from the real problem of institutional racism and overall race problems in the US, that is being flamed by in large part the GOP and its supporters... because they are denying it is a thing and attack the very people that the abuse is hurting for complaining over the abuse!.

Is there an institutional racism problem in Denmark?

...crime rates among refugees and their descendants is 73% higher than for the male population average, even when taking into account their socioeconomic background. "

Why are Danes discriminating against minorities and forcing them to commit crimes? You should be concerned about that.

LOL Just like the color of Obama's skin did not matter. The election of a black man brought out long buried racism in a strength that no one anticipated. Trump is the outrageous result. We have much further to go as a nation before we put this behind us. If we can even remain a free nation. Hatred breeds dictatorships.

You obviously missed the entire substance of the exchange you just entered. Please go back and learn what we (and now you) are talking about.

On the contrary, blaming Obama for the rising of racism in America after his election is like blaming the firecracker for the loss of your finger. We should have known we were not ready for a black man in the Whitehouse. The haters took back control as a result. Of course they had help from the the haters of the world. We will now see the consequence of our mistake and it won't be pretty.

So if you are right then for decades the elite have mismanaged the problem.

You are wrong though, it is hate of the elite that drives this, not hate of minorities.

Either way the elite are the problem at the end of the day, their failure is why Trump is here.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion I was in.

The elite got control this election and they will soon show you how they really feel about the rest of us. You seem to be clueless about that fact. But perhaps when they have removed all our social safety nets in exchange for the safety of their dynasties it will finally dawn on you. It is no coincidence that Putin is the richest man in the world and has now taken control of our President.

As far as mismanagement, the issue has always been a 3rd rail and swept under the rug in the hope that the next generation will grow out of it. The problem is that racism is passed down by parents to children like wife beating.

The feeling I got was that tensions between the minorities were higher towards the end of the Obama administration. His handling of violence and bigotry seemed to stoke the flames.

When ever the victim identity is fed things get worse, for example those who claimed during the early 70's that race relations were significantly worse than they were during the late 50's, before the Great Society, were correct. Obama decided to feed it, because he was the Great Miscalculator. Giving away yet more candy to those who identify as victims also builds resentment in the non victims, who tend to be the ones who are doing all the work and are paying for everything.

Race relations got worse because right-wingers lost their ****in minds when a black man got elected. Naturally they blame him for it.

That article wasn't even about race relations. Why did you link it?

Really?

[FONT=&quot]Yet the mainstream media and academia failed to highlight these painful truths linked to Obama. Instead, most well-paid pundits on TV and radio celebrated the Obama brand. And most black spokespeople shamelessly defended Obama’s silences and crimes in the name of racial symbolism and their own careerism. How hypocritical to see them now speak truth to white power when most went mute in the face of black power. Their moral authority is weak and their newfound militancy is shallow. [/FONT]
 
Yes, Obama has a Disasterous Record on Race.


Name an Area of Ligitimate Presidential Endevour that Obama does not have a Disasterous Record on?


About the only thing Obama has done efficently, though at great cost to the American Taxpayer, is in ignoring his oath of office and Congressionally passed Immigration LAW, to bring 100s of Thousands of Unvetted, High Risk, Foreign Born, No-Skill Muslims from Dozens of countries here as "Syrian Refugees", when they are rarely either from Syria, or bonifide refugees!

The only thing Obama has done well, is being a Disasterous President!
