Full title: Why Obama can’t show his rage: Malcolm X, “Key and Peele” and the personal history behind his cautious Ferguson response

Do you recognize the Obama they depict in this kind of article?

[cripplecreek]

Cautious?

The feds were on the ground in Ferguson in under 12 hours.

Why Obama can’t show rage

Good drugs.

[ransomnote]

I’ve seen so many photos of Obama wherein he looks like he hates our guts and fantasizes about exterminating us. Michelle doens’t conceal her contempt and hatred of the US either. THe last thing Obama does in response to any demand for his presidential prowess is anticipate the consequences. Some hopeful members of the MSM are hoping we having noticed that Obama doesn’t like his job, doesn’t like his country, doesn’t like to work, is sick of people expecting him to do something and enraged that people are complaining about his lethargic disinterest.
For triangulation and calculation/premeditation - see Hillary.

There are very few African-American men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That includes me. “

He must have heard that from one of his momies. Who would be afraid of little Bamster skipping down the street?

“The unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, is distressing, in part, because it appears that systemic violence against blacks continues in as blatant a fashion as it did 50 years ago at the height of the civil rights movement and the dark zenith of apartheid.”

The opening sentence pretty much serves as a warning that the author of this piece is a fool.

And judging from the name ‘Professor Sonali Chakravarti’ I am inclined to think that she isn’t from around these parts and doesn’t know much about life in the ‘hood.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Indeed.

[formosa]

The left is truly ramping up it’s propaganda. Got to stir that pot and make sure they get out the vote for November.

The unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, is distressing, in part, because it appears that systemic violence against blacks continues in as blatant a fashion as it did 50 years ago at the height of the civil rights movement and the dark zenith of apartheid.

Prof. Chakravarti reveals his abject ignorance in the very first sentence.

Clearly, the man must've spent "the height of the civil rights movement and the dark zenith of apartheid" as a child in Hyderabad.

The opening sentence pretty much serves as a warning that the author of this piece is a fool.

Bingo.

And judging from the name ‘Professor Sonali Chakravarti’ I am inclined to think that she isn’t from around these parts and doesn’t know much about life in the ‘hood.

A little head stompin' in the Kroger parking lot might change her views slightly.

Sheltered academics live in fantasy worlds. As so most liberals. No idea of what is going on.

“There are very few African-American men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That includes me. “

Probably his grandma locking the door, we learned during the first campaign that she was that way.

“...‘Professor Sonali Chakravarti’ I am inclined to think that she isn’t from around these parts and doesn’t know much about life in the ‘hood.”

The ‘hood in New Delhi, maybe.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Pulleaze.

He simply does not give a rat's behind about anybody but "I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me... I... me... I... my... me..."

[Pelham]

Exactly.

I can’t find much on her other than that she went to college in the States. So she could be a first generation academic airhead rather than an import.

[Pelham]

The professor is a young woman but other than that displays all the ignorance that you have noted.

Obama slandered his own grandmother for his political advantage. His grandmother took the bus to her job (to earn the money to send him to an expensive prep school) and was being harassed at the bus stop by a very aggressive black panhandler. Obama took his grandfather's version of the incident (perhaps exaggerated by his grandfather to earn brownie points from his grandson for being so enlightened) and used it to insinuate that his grandmother as "a typical white person" had racist attitudes.

One of Nixon's men famously was willing to run over his own grandmother to ensure Nixon's re-election. Obama rhetorically ran over his own grandmother. Typical of his character.

Since Prof Chakrafarty has (in her own words) suffered so much at the hands of the evil white man, I invite her to pack her bags and head back to India so as not to suffer any more degradation in this awful country.
