Obama was RIGHT to call rioters 'thugs' says White House after comedian Larry Whilmore claims it is the new N-word

Under fire for a second day over the president's use of the word 'thugs' to describe looters and arsonists trashing Baltimore, the White House refused to give into pressure to apologize.

'I don't think there was any misunderstanding of what the president was trying to communicate,' President Barack Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest said today. 'And I think that, if anything else, is a strong endorsement of the words he chose.'

Comedian Larry Wilmore gave new life to a debate over whether the term was racially-charged when he agreed during his Wednesday show with a Baltimore city councilman who earlier in the day asserted that news anchors were using 'thug' as a replacement for the N-word in on-air conversations.

'Et tu, Obama?' Wilmore said. 'You've changed, man. You know who wouldn’t have said that? "Choom Gang" Barack.'

Well, we could call them hooligans, but, then everyone would think that they were Irish.

Get your bets in now because it won’t be long.

A quick look at ‘black’ music album covers and song lyrics contains (in massive doses) the T-word, the N-word, and the M-word. And the B-word.

T-word,N-word,B-word,M-word. Add single loud subsonic drum beats and repeat in random order.

I just made a new rap song. FaShizzle.

Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the main cause of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city.

Baltimore needs a new mayor with courage and integrity, Toya Graham, the mother that took his son from the mob.

“The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.p.” Dem. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (In office January 3, 1977 – January 3, 2001)

“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life. Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.

Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history.

David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.

What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.

According to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.

Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral?

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.

Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show

Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With “Failed Liberal Democrat Policies”

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

Exactly. What word will be next? Punk? Gang banger? Hoodlum?

It just amazes me that people stand still for this and the more room the libs are given, the more they take.

Look at the N word, which is a definition of personal action that defines unaccountability on a moral and ethical standpoint. Now, thugs, like Naggers, come in all colors. One size fits all. And the language control freaks of the left attempt yet again to remove a perfect descriptor from the conversation? no, let’s call THEM language control thugs! It rather fits, unless ‘Left-Wing Language Nazi’ is better?
