Obama Has Harsh Words For Black Lives Matter Activists WHILE FROLICKING IN LONDON

President Barack Obama urged Black Lives Matter activists to work with the leaders of institutions instead of “keeping on yelling at them” at a youth town hall event.

Obama made the remarks on Saturday — in London, England, well over 3,000 miles from the nearest American Black Lives Matter protester, according to the Daily Mail.

“You can’t just keep on yelling at them and you can’t refuse to meet because that might compromise the purity of your position,” Obama urged his young British audience.

“The value of social movements and activism is to get you at the table, get you in the room and then start trying to figure out how is this problem going to be solved,” Obama added during his frolic across the pond.

“You then have a responsibility to prepare an agenda that is achievable — that can institutionalize the changes you seek and to engage the other side.”

Just before delivering his stinging criticisms of Black Lives Matter, Obama praised the activist organization for addressing “the problem of a criminal justice system that sometimes is not treating people fairly based on race.”

You see in protesting and refusing to negotiate or put forth a viable plan, the BLM folks have violated a large number of Alinsky’s rules as one of its expert proponents points out here.

Yep.

King Opie is the one who got the idiots all wee-wee'd up back in Ferguson.

Thia is just another empty statement made to give historians something good sounding to put in their Obama biographies.

Of course he says it while he’s overseas instead of to their thug faces...

I saw nothing critical in there. Critical would be, you're just a gang of violent thugs, engaged in criminal activities, and you belong in prison. Thanks rktman.
