The first thing to remember is that, with the Obama administration, there are no coincidences.
The attorney general of the United States is engaged in a shocking extrajudicial publicity campaign. Eric Holder is prosecuting George Zimmerman in the court of public opinion because he knows he wouldn't have a prayer of convicting him in a court of law. Worse, in doing so, Holder is quite deliberately stoking resentment and tension - under the guise of leading a "national conversation" about race.
At precisely the same time, the United States secretary of health and human services has loathsomely injected race into the debate over Obamacare. Toward the conclusion of this week's NAACP grievance fest, Kathleen Sebelius took the podium to demagogue Obamacare opponents. The fight against them, she inveighed, is reminiscent of "the fight against lynching and the fight for desegregation." She made these inflammatory remarks just as violence was erupting over Zimmerman's acquittal in the Trayvon Martin shooting, no small thanks to Holder's accomplice, Al Sharpton.
These episodes are not unrelated. They are coordinated.

An excellent editorial by Andrew C McCarthy.
Highly recommend reading the full article. He hits the nail on the head.
Here is the link to the print version of the article (full article on one page):

The message is: "If you object to ANYTHING that Obama does, you are a racist, therefore just Shut the h*ll up -- or there will be riots and it's going to be your fault"
You're right, Innovative, and the whole ludicrous deal also makes for a very effective distraction from President You Didn't Build That's numerous, worsening failures and scandals.
We used to hear, "Oh, look! A squirrel!" Now, we're hearing, "Oh, look! A racist squirrel!"
Whatever takes the spot light away from the IRS persecuting Conservs or Benghazi and State linked to Obama appointed chief council or NSA spying on everyone or wiretapping AP reporters.
Too bad our Black president doesn’t address these issues:
“The city of Chicago agreed today to pay a record $22.5 million to a woman who was released from police custody in 2006 and instead of being taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, she was released into a high crime area where she was gang raped and plummeted seven stories. “

“Stubbs said a man wearing a pink shirt was in line trying to pay for gas when Donald Dickerson, 41, started making fun of him, leading to an argument.
“The defendant (Dickerson) approached the white male victim,” the police report stated.
It went on to read, “the defendant told him he was in the wrong neighborhood and he was not going to make it out.” The victim said that’s when he “was punched and knocked to the ground.”
At this time, his wife got out of the car and ran to help her husband. The victim said, “he continued to struggle with the defendant and was eventually knocked unconscious, which later he awoke in the hospital.”
His wife told police, “after running to help her husband, she remembers falling to the ground and (being) knocked unconscious.”
According to a close family friend, that’s when the couple’s teenage daughter got out of the car to check on her parents and, “observed a female punch her mother in the face, when her mother then fell to the concrete, hitting her head on the surface.”

And if you believe that the red haired white boy was a crips member according to the police, I have a bridge to sell you.
Let’s not forget the yute and their knockout games in the north.
My question to Obama is this:
“Why in hell wouldn’t you cross the street when coming upon a bunch of upstanding youth?”
Remember the racist game in the first four years that caused you to lose the Congress? Well, you just turned out every who isn’t voting democrat.
Too bad the years since have not been so generous.
So someone like Barack Obama gets "followed" around a department store while he's shopping there. Big 'effing deal. Grow up. Move on. Open your own damn department store and run it however you please.
The days of bending over backwards to accommodate "professional victims" are over. It's not a matter of simple politics anymore, so an overblown community organizer can only do so much. This nation can't afford the kind of nonsense these infantile crybabies are peddling.
“Someone ought to publicly call Obama on the carpet by pointing out that the biggest threat to the lives of young black males today is ... you guessed it — other young black males.”
Exactly.
Here is an article making that very point:
“There’s No Such Thing as Black-on-Black Crime”
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/353485/theres-no-such-thing-black-black-crime-patrick-brennan
with link to FBI stats:
which show that in 2011:
there were 2695 Black victims, out of which 2447 were killed by Black perpetrators — that’s 91%.
Always remember the murders in Benghazi while OBayMe slept!
The ELEPHANT in the room.......no one is talking about the black on white crime. Are they pretending it doesn’t exist? You bet I lock my car doors when I see menacing yoots......all you have to do is read or listen to the news.
Obama is to Trayvon Martin as Al Sharpton is to Tawana Brawley
Go away....’baitin’.
Good article here:

Rise of the Warrior Cop
Is it time to reconsider the militarization of American policing?
By
RADLEY BALKO
On Jan. 4 of last year, a local narcotics strike force conducted a raid on the Ogden, Utah, home of Matthew David Stewart at 8:40 p.m. The 12 officers were acting on a tip from Mr. Stewart’s former girlfriend, who said that he was growing marijuana in his basement. Mr. Stewart awoke, naked, to the sound of a battering ram taking down his door. Thinking that he was being invaded by criminals, as he later claimed, he grabbed his 9-millimeter Beretta pistol.

The police say that they knocked and identified themselves, though Mr. Stewart and his neighbors said they heard no such announcement. Mr. Stewart fired 31 rounds, the police more than 250. Six of the officers were wounded, and Officer Jared Francom was killed. Mr. Stewart himself was shot twice before he was arrested. He was charged with several crimes, including the murder of Officer Francom.
The police found 16 small marijuana plants in Mr. Stewart’s basement. There was no evidence that Mr. Stewart, a U.S. military veteran with no prior criminal record, was selling marijuana. Mr. Stewart’s father said that his son suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and may have smoked the marijuana to self-medicate.

<....”Bear in mind is that ‘race-baiting’ is the LAST RESORT of scoundrels..... whose insipid policy claims cannot survive collision with real-world conditions........ The incitements that transform policy debates into an us-versus-them rumble are not about race per se...... They are about advancing a Hard-Left Agenda through the community organizer’s crude bag of tricks — the extortion that Alinskyites euphemistically call “direct action.”...... It is what happens when social-justice prescriptions turn out to be unjust and unworkable”....>
That’s exactly right....article is excellent!
Zimmerman was tried in court and found not guilty. Obama has no respect for the law and US criminal justice system and instead panders to the race baiters who would let street mobs mete out justice. This is a disgrace.
In Atlanta,.... African-Americans are 54 percent of the population,.... BUT.... are responsible for 100 percent of homicide,.... 95 percent of rape,.... 94 percent of robbery,... 84 percent of aggravated assault,... and 93 percent of burglary........

You bet all of this is no accident. Just heard Obama’s best pals Beyonce and JayZ are at the rally in New York stirring the pot of rage.
I honestly believe that a big part of Obama's promised transformative change was to divide the races even more, possibly setting the stage for a race war.
Something else we're seeing is that while the left has used Black Americans as useful idiot cannon fodder for decades, I think we're beginning to see a shift, since it seems that some Blacks are "waking up," and the left sees their new useful idiots as being illegal aliens.

Exactly — the old “divide and conquer” strategy coupled with “don’t let a crisis go to waste”.
