The Obama administration is sending Cabinet Secretary Broderick Johnson, an African-American who heads up an Obama initiative to help young black males, to lead the administration’s all-black delegation to the funeral on Monday of Michael Brown. Brown is the unarmed black 18 year-old robber shot dead in a confrontation by a white Ferguson, Missouri police officer two weeks ago in a case that has stoked racial tensions.

Johnson’s attendance at the funeral was first reported by April Ryan, White House Correspondent and Washington Bureau Chief for American Urban Radio Networks, in a posting on Twitter.

The Washington Post later reported two more black Obama administrations officials are being sent to Brown’s funeral. Marlon Marshall, Special Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Director of Public Engagement and Heather Foster, Public Engagement Advisor. Both work under Valerie Jarrett.

The Post reported Marshall is from St. Louis and went to high school with Brown’s mother.

Johnson was appointed earlier this year by Obama to be chair of the My Brother’s Keeper Task Force which is aimed at helping young black males avoid the fate of the likes of Michael Brown and lead successful lives. Johnson’s official title is, Assistant to the President and Cabinet Secretary.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, revealed by Politico this week to be Obama’s man in Ferguson, will deliver the eulogy at Brown’s funeral which will be held in St. Louis at Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church according to BET.

Last week Obama dispatched Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson where he met with Brown’s parents among others in an effort to reassure the community of a “fair and independent” investigation. While in Ferguson, Holder spoke of a few incidents in his past when believes he was hassled by police for being black.

CNN reported earlier this week Obama has no plans to visit Ferguson anytime soon.

“He has spoken with elected and other leaders, and his public statements have been measured. No presidential visits to Missouri are planned for now although Attorney General Eric Holder is due in Ferguson on Wednesday.

“”I have to be very careful about not prejudging these events before investigations are completed. Because, although these are, you know, issues of local jurisdiction — you know, the DOJ works for me,” Obama told reporters on Monday. “And then when they’re conducting an investigation, I’ve got to make sure that I don’t look like I’m putting my thumb on the scales one way or the other.””

“Brother’s keeper”
Probably one of the most abused terms in Scripture.
God did not admonish Cain to be his brother’s keeper.
Cain was just being a wise-a** in responding to God.
As usual, religion is just a tool for Obozo.

So they can keep the race baiting going. Because in reality this is now a done case. A thug gets hostile with a cop and gets terminated.

He should have sent Biden, who likely would have asked if there was a watermelon and fried chicken reception afterwards.

The Eulogy from Sharpton will go something like this: “Do not judge this child, Michael Brown by the content of his character, because let’s face it, he was a hulking, thieving, dope smoking thug who attacked a police officer and got what he deserved, judge him solely by the color of his skin, and remember to vote early and vote often this November...”

Woman hit in head with pellet gun in alleged hate crime while walking through Central Park:

police
The 36-year-old victim told the Daily News she was attacked early Monday by a group of black youths who screamed that ‘all white people suck.’ The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.

BY Danielle Schlanger , Barry Paddock , Rich Schapiro
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Saturday, August 23, 2014, 8:38 PM

A 36-year-old woman walking through Central Park was shot in the back of the head with a pellet gun in an apparent hate crime, police said Saturday.

The shaken victim told the Daily News she was leaving the park at W. 60th St. and West Drive about 12:05 a.m. Monday when she strolled past a group of black youths.

The two men and three women — all in their late teens or early 20s — said nothing as they passed by. But moments later, the woman felt a “horrible pain” in the back of her head.

“My hand went up to my head, and there was blood gushing everywhere,” said the woman, who asked to be identified only as Hanna.

“I turned around, and I said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? What’s wrong with you people?’”

One of the women immediately unleashed a barrage of racial epithets.

“F—— you, you f——— white b——,” the woman hissed, Hanna recalled.

Of course the administration that deliberately plans and executes an invasion of Central American peasants to become vote livestock on the Democrat plantation would send an all-black delegation to Ferguson.

FU Whitey! It’s payback time!!! If IRS political enforcers don’t come after you, the HHS SWAT team will be along shortly.

OBAMA, HOLDER,SHARPTON AND THE RACE WAR

RACE BAITERS ...

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 would 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.

If a Black police officer in the fulfillment of its duty happen to kill another Black, an Hispanic or a white person, the media will not accuse the officer as murderer even before the details of the case are known as it happens when the officer is a white policeman and the dead person is Black.

”Perhaps it is time that Americans were finally told the truth about the police, so they might avoid falling prey to the self-serving lies of the aforementioned, self-anointed guardians of “civil rights.”

”The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that in 1998, fully 62 percent of the 367 suspects killed by police officers nationwide were white, and 35 percent were black. In fact, police killings of white suspects have outnumbered those of black suspects in every single year since 1978.”

” black officers are far likelier to shoot black suspects than are white officers. In 1998, for instance, the black-officer-kills-black-felon rate was 32 per 100,000 black officers – much higher than the white-officer-kills-black-felon rate of 14 per 100,000 white officers.”

”While part of this disparity is due to the fact that black officers often tend to be assigned to black neighborhoods, clearly no case can be made from these numbers that white officers are in any way “trigger-happy” when confronting black suspects.”

”The intra-racial nature of most police shootings has existed for many years. Between 1976 and 1998, about 65 percent of homicides by police officers were against suspects of the same racial background. The rate at which white officers shoot black suspects has been declining steadily for two decades, while the rate at which they shoot white suspects has remained fairly constant over that same period. When a white officer kills a suspect today, that suspect is usually white (63 percent). When a black officer kills a suspect, that suspect is usually black (81 percent).”

”Overall, black officers are slightly likelier than white officers to kill a suspect in the line of duty. Indeed whites comprise 87 percent of all police nationwide, but account for only about 80 percent of homicides against criminal suspects, regardless of race. Meanwhile blacks, who constitute 11 percent of American police officers, are responsible for about 17 percent of homicides against criminal suspects.”

”Some readers may find this information shocking, particularly in light of the media’s and the civil rights establishment’s disproportionate focus on instances of white officers killing black suspects.”

The rest of the history

Here is a good time to say props to the World Champion Chicago Little League.

The team came back from the losers bracket with one loss to beat the undefeated powerhouse from Nevada.

The coaches were great, the kids were well poised and very talented.

The team & coaches are great role-models for the troubled urban youth in Chicago.

After photos, the team gathered on the pitchers mound for a prayer.

With the guidience & support from their coaches, family, community & Little League Baseball, these boys have a great opportunity to succeed & pay it forward to future generations.

An intentional “all black delegation” would be pure, unadulterated, in your face racism.

He wants to make it look like none of the whites would show up...it's all about appearance.

His news media enablers will quickly pick up the ball and turn it into headlines.
