a thought about President Obama
Ever notice when there's a tragic black-on-black crime, like the many shootings taking place in Chicago on a regular basis, our President doesn't say a word. But when a white person shoots a black person, he's issuing statements within hours. Ever think about why he does that?

The whole topic of racism is such a massive miss to me ... anybody that still claims that the majority of the nation has issues with race shouldn't because the POTUS is African American.
A Caucasian being killed by a Caucasian is as bad as an African American being killed by an African American is as bad as a Caucasian being killed by an African American is as bad as an African American being killed by a Caucasian. Anytime there's death, that's a tragedy.
It's a shame that Obama can't state as much given the position and visibility that he has ...
Huh?
Clearly the president has an agenda that is pushed by the race batters who make a living off race baiting.
The "if I had a son he'd look like..." Was a disgusting thing for a president to say. Yet most people just nod and accept it. To speak out on it risks being called a racist.
I hate the race issue in the US. It's so overboard. Most of it isn't even a race problem but rather a poverty problem. There are social tiers and that's just the way it is. A white kid growing up in a trailer park with meth heads has the same disadvantages as a black kid growing up in the hood.
I think the in the U.S. we have made huge progress in reducing racism, yet it seems like each perceived racial event gets more and more media coverage, protest, and political attention.
Alexis de Tocqueville had it right when he said "The more a society liberates itself from injustices, the harder people find it to bear the remaining injustices"
But of course, some people have a vested interest in making these things as big of a deal as possible. It's how they try to remain relevant and how they make money.
