Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Tuesday that the Bush administration has done nothing to defuse a "quiet riot" among blacks that threatens to erupt just as riots in Los Angeles did 15 years ago.
The first-term Illinois senator said that with black people from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast still displaced 20 months after Hurricane Katrina, frustration and resentments are building explosively as they did before the 1992 riots.
"This administration was colorblind in its incompetence," Obama said at a conference of black clergy, "but the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane.
"All the hurricane did was to pull the curtain back for all the world to see," he said.
Obama's criticism of Bush prompted ovation after ovation from the nearly 8,000 people gathered in Hampton University's Convocation Center, particularly when he denounced the Iraq war and noted that he had opposed it from the outset.

Will obamarama's followers riot when they don't get all the goodies he has promised?
Cum on feel da noize...
Ping to my 3.
:)
Hot damn!! Our boy is now reverting to race-hustling type. Now he’s obliquely threatening violence if he doesn’t get what he wants.
I think it was this video that prompted my parents to question their decision to get cable. lol
What? No empathy for the displaced whites? Should we be concerned about the white people who will be engaging in 'quiet riots'? Or is that just a black thing????
BUMP
Looks like metal health is driving Obama mad.
And Nagin and Blanco are blameless, of course.
I have been worried about this for a while, remember the convention is in August so if it coincides with a heat wave and Barack is denied the seat all I can say is I'm glad I live in rural Indiana with a well and lots of ammo.
A caller to Reese Hopkins Shoe on WRKO yesterday made the same threat. “They better “give” to nomination to barack or there will be trouble”. What if Hillary wins PA and subsequent primaries? Do we also have to “give” Barack the prsidencey?
I assume if Obama defuses the “quiet riot”, it will cost taxpayers a fortune!
Trust me. Even at this stage, if nobama told them to riot - they would. And, the world would lose 80% of its flat screen TV’s.
Bring it on biotch.
Funny, they don't look black to me.........
Is this a threat?
“conference of black clergy”
Wonder if the nonReverend Wright spoke?
Maybe video somewhere if someone with better searching skills is out there.
Please tell me that in 1,000 years blacks will still not be using slavery as a crutch. America is sick of hearing about it. None of our recent deceased ancestors had a thing to do with it, more than likely many of them died going to war over it; something the world has NEVER seen before.
