But the roots of discontent run far deeper than inequity

Posted: Jul 17, 2016

But the roots of discontent run far deeper than inequity in the use of deadly force by police. As the country celebrates its 240th birthday, black Americans continue to earn less than half the national average. Black infant mortality is twice that of white babies. Black household wealth is on average 13 times smaller than that of white households. Some 38% of America’s prison population is African American, compared with 13% of the country at large .....

And yet we have a black president. - A'Mouse

He sure didn't help the black population. I don't imagine Hillary will either since she is following Obama's agenda. Too bad. He really had a great opportunity to turn things around, but opted to divide us instead. He just spoke about 30 minutes ago and it was the VERY BEST choice of words he ever uttered. Too little too late??

Yes, Even the black President wasn't able to change the SYSTEM - That's why we are on roads now

Only 7 (black presidents) out of 44.

And whose fault is that? - sm

Anyone can become president. Even a community organizer.

So instead of pointing out how far we have come as a nation - having fought a Civil War

you want to keep old hatreds alive, rather than moving forward. Obama could have done this. He could have been positive and we could have had reconciliation. But now we have the polar opposite. We have a race war.

I never buy into leftist buzzwords like white privilege. - Leftists have an agenda to collectivize

individuals into political blocs. that's what communists do.

It’s best to treat people like individuals and with respect and decency unless/until they give you a reason not to. That’s what normal people do.

Not really. Half and half. He just gets better mileage out - of the black half. (sm)

Too bad he didn't use his 8 years wisely and bring people together.

If this turns into a race war, we - inthefuture

[ In Reply To ..]
will have Marshall law and then Obama gets a third term. I have been hearing that a lot lately and am beginning to think it is coming with this racial stuff.

Martin Luther King would be rolling in his grave over this and BLM and new BP and their garbage. Most folks went through Civil Rights era and we are finished with that. This is all garbage set to divide us and get our minds off of what is important.

We all have one common enemy and that is ISIS.

You are correct and there are some who say - martial law

[ In Reply To ..]
is what Obama and the left want.

Martial law is what the RIGHT wants. (All that - power & guns, dontcha know.)

What Obama and the left want is for the right to stop preaching - hate! nm

Then they should lead by example. - sm

Obama hasn't been a president for the people. He has injected himself into social situations since day #1 and has caused 99.99% of the divisiveness we see today. He has brought about even more havoc internationally. Bailing on Iraq and opening a window for ISIS, the JV team. Thank God there are only 186 days left of his presidency.

Ready for Hillary? Get ready to rage for another eight years! - nm

My personal opinion is that President Obama - cannot wait for his term to end

[ In Reply To ..]
What he has presided over for 8 years is the complete opposite of martial law, it is absolute and complete obstruction from the idiot congress, the least productive congress in history. They are awful, horrible, lie continuously, are not smart, and imagine having to deal with that every day?

There is no way, repeat, NO WAY, that President Obama wants anything to do with that place any more, would you?

Honestly, the conspiracy theories abound, but just by looking at him I tell you he would never EVER do that. Ever. Martial law my foot.

I bet you can't tell me how many bills have been passed - since Obama took office

[ In Reply To ..]
And why is doing nothing NOT sometimes exactly the right thing to do?

Some of us have weird ideas about what a "productive" Congress should look like.

Of course, a "productive" Congress to you means one that passes laws to suit Obama's agenda, and yours, right?

That's not how it works, and the effectiveness of legislative bodies is not measured by the number of laws they pass.

He bit off more than he could chew. - Job was too big for him.

[ In Reply To ..]
All he did was whine and blame others for his colossal failures over the last 7-1/2 years. Time for him to leave. He will go down as the worst president EVER!! That says a lot to be able to take that mantle from Carter.

He will go down as one of the BEST presidents - ever IMHO (and most Americans)

[ In Reply To ..]
Certainly not the worst. That dubious honor belongs to W.

Thank you for a good laugh! Needed it tonight. - anon

Obama will have the "honor" as worst president, of that I'm sure.

The new winner, if elected, will be the GOP's last - coffin-nail, Donald J. Trump.

[ In Reply To ..]
If that happens, the next 4 years will be horrific. But they'll also likely have a few moments of hilarity, as well.

No, I think it was Congress was too stupid - & anal-retentive for him or anyone.

[ In Reply To ..]

I don't think they would have been anal retentive - with a white president

[ In Reply To ..]
xxoo

I disagree. He is remaining in DC because he wants - to remain relevant.

[ In Reply To ..]
But he says it's for his daughter to remain in school there. Ha!

Watch him try to inject himself in politics especially if - any of his "laws" are messed

with.

It's his "wife" who wants to leave the WH, not him. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
He has never felt this important in his life. Nor will he again. He needs to fade into the woodwork and be gone.

Hillary will nominate him to be our next Supreme Court justice. - nm

Silly whites, so scared and certain there's - going to be a race war.

[ In Reply To ..]
My parents were sure it was coming to our town during the Watts riots in the '60s.

My boss was certain it was coming to our town after the Rodney King cop-acquittal.

It's sad that whites today - in 2016 - still believe that blacks are planning a race war.

Many of are sick of this excuse. Black conservatives who have - risen above this are called names

[ In Reply To ..]
so it seems some want to continue to continue to excuse bad behavior.

The statistics mentioned about black crime fail to say that most of them happen in Democrat controlled urban cities AND it’s only a problem in the urban ghettos with the toughest gun laws run by Democrat mayors and city councils. Chicago is a perfect example of Obama ignoring the real problem. Fifty years of welfare programs and treating black people like victims has created a dysfunctional system leading to hopelessness, crime, and perpetual poverty. Chicago is 32% white, but they commit only 3.5% of the murders. Over 96% of the murders are committed by non-whites. Essentially, it is young black men murdering other black men. White people are not in the equation and are not part of the problem. It’s a black problem framed as a gun problem by Obama and his cronies.

There are approximately 8,000 gun related homicides annually in the U.S. The vast majority occur in the urban ghettos and are committed by blacks and hispanics against other blacks and hispanics. They use illegally acquired guns, so more gun laws will do nothing. Their lawless culture, requiring no personal responsibility by those who father children, creates the dysfunction and crime. The urban ghetto kill zones all have the same thing in common – run by liberal Democrats for decades, with poverty created by their welfare policies, dreadful public schools, and a black population who don’t work and take no personal responsibility for their lives or their children.

Here are the murders by city for a sampling of these shitholes:

Los Angeles – 587 Chicago – 508 NYC – 333 Detroit – 316 Phila – 248 Baltimore – 233 New Orleans – 150 Indianapolis – 129 Memphis – 124 St. Louis – 120 Newark -112 Milwaukee – 104 Washington DC – 103

There are dozens of other shitholes like Camden, Kansas City, Atlanta, Oakland, Pittsburgh, and Miami with extremely high murder rates, and in every case more than 90% are committed by non-whites. Why don’t you hear Obama giving speeches about black communities policing themselves and taking responsibility for the crime, drugs and murder in their neighborhoods? He has no problem with proclamations about white people clinging to their guns in middle America where there are virtually no murders.

The entire gun narrative peddled by liberals is false. The crime rate has been falling for 25 years. There were 24,703 murders in 1991 when the population was 253 million. Murders in 2014 totaled 14,249 with a population of 317 million. The willfully ignorant American public completely buys the falsehoods presented by Obama and believes murders and crime are skyrocketing.
