Defending the Black Lives Matter movement, President Obama said Thursday the protests are giving voice to a problem happening only in African-American communities, adding, "We, as a society, particularly given our history, have to take this seriously."
Obama said the movement, which sprung up after the deaths of unarmed black men in Florida, Missouri and elsewhere, quickly came to be viewed as being opposed to police and suggesting that other people's lives don't matter. Opponents have countered that "all lives matter."
At the conclusion of a White House forum on criminal justice, Obama said he wanted to make a final point about the nexus of race and the criminal justice system before launching into his defense of the movement.
"I think everybody understands all lives matter," Obama said. "I think the reason that the organizers used the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' was not because they were suggesting nobody else's lives matter. Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that's happening in the African-American community that's not happening in other communities.
"And that is a legitimate issue that we've got to address."
Police relations with minority communities and the deaths of unarmed black men have been topics of great interest since the shootings of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012 in Florida and 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Those deaths, and others of black women, have inspired protests around the country under the "Black Lives Matter" moniker.

That IS what YOU were suggesting, but we fought back. You overreached with your stupid slogan. Now you will reap the whirlwind, because we’re not putting up with PC BS anymore.

To the Bogus POTUS: Then why were they repeatedly intolerant of any suggestion that all lives matter?
Useless idiots
He could have worked with a lot of the black men and shown them why it's important to get a good education, and work hard to make your family a well respected part of the community...he didn't; he was to busy playing golf....
She could have taken the women and children and helped them with education, home making, a lot of things that are available to people...she didn't; she was to busy trying to ram down our children's throats food her dog wouldn't eat and to busy jet setting all over the world on OUR money...
IMHO, they both have failed the Black Community; the people of the United States and everything else they have came in contact with....

Some blacks do that but not all blacks do that.
