NEW YORK (AP) — In a deeply personal response to outbreaks of racially motivated protests, President Barack Obama on Monday blamed a lack of opportunity in minority communities and harsher treatment of black and Hispanic men by police for fueling a sense of "unfairness and powerlessness."

The country's first black president called for a nationwide mobilization to reverse inequalities and said the cause will remain a mission for the rest of his presidency and his life. "There are consequences to indifference," Obama said.

Helping launch a foundation to assist young minorities, Obama said the catalysts of protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and in Baltimore were the deaths of young black men and "a feeling that law is not always applied evenly in this country."

A man on a mission.

Just what the doctor of Justice didn't order.

Since they destroyed 200 businesses, seems to me there’s even a bigger “lack of opportunities” than there was 2 weeks ago

A black president, a majority black city, run by black democrats, and it’s STILL whitey’s fault. Obama is a racist POS.

We white folks have been bowing and scraping to the proponents of this, that, and the other program to advantage Blacks and others since about the time Obama was born somewhere. I’m getting too old for any more mindless progressive adventures

BREAD AND CIRCUS

The officers are thrown to the lions. The mob exploded in a paroxysm of irrational jubilation. A Che Guevara style kangaroo court will judge the accused policemen - according to mob law, no more innocent until proven guilty. Four of the six accused officers are the ones charged with manslaughter. Of those 4, three are Blacks and one is White. Their heads will be presented to the mobs in a silver plate to placate the rabble of noisy angry thugs.

Harvard Law Professor, Alan Dershowitz, said that “this is a very sad day for justice.” He claimed that Mosby acted to prevent riots rather that in response to the evidence in the case. Dershowitz criticized Mosby for the extent of the charges as well, saying that there is “no plausible, hypothetical, conceivable case for murder.” He went so far as to say that the state’s attorney might be removed from the case.

“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life.” Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan

Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the root causes of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.

Why the Baltimore riots, looting and destruction of their own Black neighborhoods? Did the Blacks doubted for a moment that the Black establishment in control of Baltimore will fail to condemn the officers to the highest penalty allowed by Law?

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.

Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama does not want unity. He wants to keep the country as polarized and disoriented as possible. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power. According Alinisky’s tactics adopted by Obama, change has to be brought through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.

David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.

What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.

Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral? Did our condolences in chief has ever called the parents of so many Whites killed by Blacks?

As Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said : Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore.

He’s right. People were indifferent to stopping his insanity and elected RINOS not caring a bit about their country.

Sounds like we are suppose to reward them for destroying 200 businesses. They can’t be wrong because they are Obama’s favorite race.

Well, I’m not indifferent. If the looting/burning/destruction comes to MY town, I’m shooting until it stops.

It’s a freakin’ act of war. It was an act of war in Ferguson, and it was an act of war in Baltimore.

blamed a lack of opportunity in minority communities ...

There is that theme again ... they just need jobs.

As the 'Rats kill jobs with higher minimum wages, and easy freebies to make welfare cost effective - they are not jobless actually, they are essentially professional voters.
