“Hip Hop Wellstone on the way!”

‘Wellstone’ was my first thought, too!

God Help Us.

Oh, I’m so glad you asked:

What Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative means for black America

What a freakin’ circus.

...whose death has set off protests and conversations about racial profiling ...

WaPo can't be honest enough to mention the rioting.

[UCANSEE2]

In both the Martin and Brown case, strings were pulled which went all the way to the top.

It wasn’t about the ‘validity’ of either case, it was ‘pull’.

There is also a group called BLACK BLOC. Powerful and well-connected.

Ahem. . . . Its called COMMUNITY ORGANiZING!

Too many fine folks perceive and interpret Obama words and actions from their own perspective based upon past historical and traditional values.

This administration plays by a set of rules most Americans do not have a clue how to play let alone respond.

For example, fundamentally a core goal of community organizing is to generate durable power for an organization representing the community, allowing it to influence key decision-makers on a range of issues over time.

Obama and his folks are not playing for today but for years to come. What purpose would it serve and how would it enhance theirgoals by attending a funeral of a slain General who gave his life during the service of his country?

Sec Def Hagel attended the Greene funeral. Frankly, if I were the family, I wouldn't want Obama and all his security, etc. anywhere near ... that makes the funeral all about Obama (as always) rather than the General. Here's some other info you might find interesting:

Twitter, Obama and the Gen. Harold Greene funeral hoax

It's a Byron York article so it's reputable.

RACE PIMPS

Just in Chicago, every week end, dozens of blacks are murdered and wounded by black and nobody in the black leadership, neither Obama, nor Holder or the race pimps, care. When blacks kill blacks, there are not mob protesting and rioting, neither Holder’s Justice Department send 50 special agents to investigate and prosecute the culprits of a single case.

A 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 — and, in certain years, as many as 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other blacks. The analysis, supported by FBI records, finds that in 2005 alone, for example, African Americans accounted for 49% of all homicide victims in the US — again, almost exclusively at the hands of other African Americans.

To put these number in perspective, recall that over 6,400 U.S. service men and women have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the course of a decade-long war fought in those nations.

That really takes the cake.

Turning it into a national celebration and worship of black drughead thuggery.

Is there also going to be a flag-draped coffin and 21-gun salute?

Such a sick, twisted, degenerate joke America has become under Obama. Really sinking down to vomitous levels now.

[Truth is a Weapon]

No one for General Greene’s service but 3 for a thug. At lest they are consistent. 0bama sucks.

[Slyfox]

I dont remember or any of his people attending the funeral of Harold Greene..or Christopher Stevens

obama and hillary did show up when the coffins arrived, you know when all the cameras were rolling.

[fatnotlazy]

So, even though they now know that this punk was the aggressor, had drugs in his system, and charged the cop - they’re going to attend his funeral.

Well, hey Obama, Chicago’s got punks going down by the hour. Hope you can make all those funerals, keep things even you know /sarc.

[kearnyirish2]

Those smiling dopes have no idea how acceptable that state of affairs is to most Americans; the Klan couldn’t have hoped for more useful idiots than them and Obama.

[Figment]

He was white

[GOPJ]

Democrats want White House representation at the funeral of a street thug BECAUSE most criminals are democrats.

This way democrats impress blacks and criminals at the same time - it’s a twofer.

“so the school children can stay home and have their parents fix their lunch while they watch live coverage”

That is so racist for you to suggest that these poor downtrodden folks actually fix lunch out of their own pockets. The government needs to have caters come and serve a seven course meal for the poor little things./s

[VanShuyten]

“They’re still White House officials.”

This is good as it protects Officer Wilson from any federal charges brought by the administration. Such a show of bias makes it much more likely a judge would just throw out the case.

Well of course..gotta do that so that it looks like they give a damn, then Hillary Clinton goes to the mother of Sean Smith and LIES right to her face, blaming his death on a video..Hillary Clinton is one cold hearted bastard
