Black leftists don’t like President Obama condemning violent protesters and looters in Ferguson alongside the police. On MSNBC Wednesday afternoon, professor Michael Eric Dyson called this balanced approach a “low moment” in the Obama presidency.
“He's got the bully pulpit. Be a bully in the pulpit but don't bully black people. Yesterday was a low moment in the Obama presidency because he distracted attention away from the facts of the case. A white police officer armed to the teeth with a gun has killed an unarmed black youth. The president turned this into a referendum, if you will, on internal machinations of black criminality and the politics of black respectability as opposed to the facts at hand.” Dyson would really hate a Washington Post story on Wednesday that laid out what some of those violent men had to say.
DeAndre Smith, fresh from looting the QuikTrip on a recent night, told reporters: “I’m proud of us. We deserve this, and this is what’s supposed to happen when there’s injustice in your community. St. Louis — not going to take this anymore.”
I thought “looter” was the main group there.
Celine Dion: Let them touch those things for once!
So much to hate about one very small percentage of society.
“He’s got the bully pulpit. Be a bully in the pulpit but don’t bully black people.”
Yup. Dyson thinks asking people not to loot, trash, and torch business the people in Ferguson depend on for jobs and forcing the people to drive and walk longer distances for things they need is bullying. Then again, he has a nice cushy job that pays him a ton of money. He got his, so screw the peaceful people in Ferguson.
It’s bad...it’s nation wide.
Obama called the rioters “a cancer”.
... should have.
Oh, I had forgotten about that dimwit. Let them touch her stuff for a change.
Let's all not forget that the term "bully" - at the time President Theodore Roosevelt coined the term "bully pulpit" - merely meant "good," and had no association with the other meaning of "bully" ("one who threatens or harasses others").

Yes, the mutants just enlarged their food desert and practically guarantee the flight of remaining non-blacks from the area. They deserve what is coming; they’ll be killing many more of their own as their welfare reservation solidifies.
Seems this is pretty common for him. WHEN has he ever really addressed a serious issue? ........crickets
There are not enough words of destain that I have for this impostor and his ilk..
He is the equivalent of the boss’s girlfriend who plays solitaire on the PC all day (”playing office”)...for years.
