OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Former President Barack Obama and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry told minority boys on Tuesday that they matter and urged them to make the world a better place.

Obama was in Oakland, California, to mark the fifth anniversary of an initiative he started after the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The death of the African-American teen sparked protests over racial profiling.

Because you have to neg the people you want to control. Only through Obama’s benevolence do they matter.

Which means "don't worry about studying math and science, your talents and aptitudes are much better suited to working in the community activist profession, like me."

What got Trayvon Martin killed was HIS decision to attack an armed man.

Never a smart move.

It's good that they are telling young black boys this. They do matter. Immensely. All children are precious, and matter. Immensely.

What bothers me about Obama is that he never used his position to try mending racial tensions. He didn't say, skin color doesn't matter, and we're all in this together. He didn't say, we've come a long way in addressing racism, and are on the right track - as his election to the Presidency suggested. He didn't speak to the black community and say that they were capable of determining their own future, that the nation as a whole was on-board to make sure that injustices based on race would be dealt with, and that it was time for all of us to embrace and understand each other. Instead, he started new fires of racism.

I used to like the Warriors. The commies wrecked that too. Everything they touch turns to Shi+.

Tray would have been just another dead gangster nobody ever heard of or cared about had not Obama’s racist war cabal not gotten ahold of it.

I wasn't aware of that Holder statement, but he's made other statements that were indicative of his own racism. That said, his selection by Obama, along with Van Jones and others, were consistent with the racial and ideological motivations of that administration.
