Obama’s false racism claims are putting cops’ lives in danger
New York Post ^ | July 8, 2016 | John R Lott Jr

Hours before the murders of five police officers in Dallas, Texas, President Obama was again spouting false claims about racism by the police. He sees racism whenever there is any disparity in outcomes, no matter what the cause.

Obama and others inflame passions, but take no responsibility, and instead use events to push for more gun control. Yet, shouting racism can endanger the lives of police officers. The Dallas police chief tells us one of the shooters “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

After the Trayvon Martin case, there were numerous cases around the country of blacks attacking whites and invoking Martin’s name.

Let’s not forget that NYPD cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were executed by a black man who was angry about the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.

Obama and his administration spoke out repeatedly on the Martin and Brown cases. They repeatedly claimed racism was involved, but in fact there’s no evidence of that in either case.

Obama is also wrong, as he was on Thursday, to infer racism from higher arrest rates or prison-sentence lengths. “African Americans are arrested at twice the rate of whites,” he said. What he failed to note is that blacks commit murder at almost six times the rate whites do.

“African-American and Hispanic population, who . . . .

“The FBI claims that gangs commit 80 percent of crimes in the US, and the National Gang Center estimates that 82 percent of gang members are black or Hispanic.”

Then they work should to dismantle these Gangs and outlaw them /S

What do you expect when Al Sharpton is one of your trusted advisers?
Did Sharpton ever apologize for the Tawana Brawley hoax? Have millennials ever heard of Tawana Brawley?

The police chief made some sense. On the other hand, the idiot Dallas mayor blamed whitey on the sniper killings because of slavery. I wanted to puke. This guy is pathetic.

This is the same man who releases hundreds of thousands of CRIMINAL illegal aliens back onto our streets and imports operatives of ISIS via the ‘refugee’ program. Laughable.

Shouting “racism” is like shouting “fire” in a crowded theater.

People can get hurt.

The “Professor of constitutional law” doesn’t even know what the definition of racism is. Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another - The Nazis for example or the Democrats demands in our nations past to keep blacks as slaves. Prejudice on the other hand is a preconceived opinion about someone not based on fact but prior experience or exposure. For example when a cop finds out a black man has a gun and he thinks of all the cops who are shot by blacks and he goes into a panic because the black he just stopped won’t show his hands. Does this idiot of a President TRULY think cops are shooting blacks because cops see them as inferior and they just need some target practice? I would think the absolute LAST thing any cop would want to do today is kill a black man, but leave it the Professor of constitutional law to further flame race relations putting more cops in danger.

As Palin stated many months ago, Obama needs to call off his dogs.

The EXEMPT hated, TREASONOUS, GOP has given
money for Obama’s murderous troops and schemes
for the next full year.

The GOP should be decimated on the Capitol’s steps.

Academia is working hard to change the definition of racism to conform to the Paolo Freire model wherein only bigotry by the ruling class is racism, and all bigotry toward them is “resistance.” Of course, this is only in capitalist countries. In Socialist countries it’s reversed. Resisting socialism is also “racism.”

His name is Hussein. He said he would side with the Muslims. What he should have said he is working for the Islamic takeover of the world.

There is a reason all of his records are sealed.

One of Hussein's biggest jobs is to cause as much economic and social damage as he can.

Hussein deserves an A+ as voted by the Muslim terrorists he works for.

Obama hates white people, its that simple. Why else would he go to a church for 20 years at which the leader is a vehement racist?

Above all we need our Congress back representing we the people to take the action necessary to get that son of a bitch out of office, and to take control of their designated duties as prescribed in the constitution.

I can’t think of any of those people in D.C. congressional leadership right now that should remain in their positions.
