When Barack Obama was running for president he often spoke of "fundamentally changing" America. Other presidents and candidates have talked about improving America or "making America great again," but Obama was unique with his words. Now, we see what he meant. He HAS changed America, and he has done so by creating a climate of prejudice, hatred, and excuses for unacceptable behavior.
The tensions that first erupted at the University of Missouri have now spilled over into other campuses. Groups aligned with and sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement are marching across campus railing about "racial inequality and injustice." Their demands have already caused the resignations of top administrators, and yet no one in authority is calling these kids out and setting them straight.
An ideal person to do this is Barack Obama. But, of course, instead of saying what needs to be said, Obama fans the flames, and in every single instance, he comes out on the side of perceived racism and against the "white man" and the police.
When Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates -- a friend of Barack Obama -- was arrested back in 2009, Obama was quick to play the race card. If you recall, neighbors called the police because they thought someone was trying to break into Gates's home. It turned out to be Gates, but when questioned by police, Gates became abusive and uncooperative, so he was arrested.
Here's the opening of a report by CNN as the story was unfolding:
President Obama said that police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, "acted stupidly" in arresting a prominent black Harvard professor last week after a confrontation at the man's home.
"I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played," Obama said Wednesday night while taking questions after a White House news conference.
So... without "seeing all the facts," Obama immediately said that police "acted stupidly" and implied that the whole thing was racially motivated. By saying "what role race played," Obama is putting race out there as an issue when it was not an issue at all. This happened only about six months into Obama's first term as president, and, as we know, there was more to come.
When George Zimmerman was on trial for killing Trayvon Martin, Obama was already convicting Zimmerman in the court of public opinion. Obama stated that Martin "looked like him," obviously implying that Martin was only killed because he was black. As it turned out, the jury sided with Zimmerman saying that he acted in self defense when Martin attacked him.
Then there is Michael Brown -- the poster child of the entire Black Lives Matter movement. Brown who was black was unarmed when he was shot by a white police officer. (I wrote that sentence in that way, because that is the extent that Obama or the media will describe what happened.) Yes, Michael Brown was shot after having been high on drugs, robbing a store, and attacking a police officer (punching him and going for his gun). The grand jury sided with the officer, but the facts don't really matter to people like Obama and others who want to play up the incident just to stir up more racial strife.
Obama has come out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Blacks are killing blacks all across the country and neither Obama nor the movement ever speaks out. Only when it's a perceived crime or injustice by a white against a black does Obama say anything.
And so we have come to this. Students are protesting because of name-calling and other "injustices." It has now spiraled into demands about hiring, free tuition, and student loan absolution. Obama, as you would expect, has voiced support for the protests. Is it any wonder the protests are spreading and becoming more intense?
As reported by MediaITE.com on Monday, "Protesters at Dartmouth University disrupted students studying in the library, reportedly directing profanity towards white students and physically pushing others."
In a critical editorial, the conservative Dartmouth Review listed some of the epithets hurled by the protesters: "F*** you, you filthy white f***s!" "F*** you and your comfort!" "F*** you, you racist sh*ts!"
In addition, the Review reports that some of protesters became physically violent: "Men and women alike were pushed and shoved by the group. 'If we can't have it, shut it down!' they cried. Another woman was pinned to a wall by protesters who unleashed their insults, shouting 'filthy white b*tch!' in her face."
The Blaze also reports on the story in the Dartmouth Review.
The flood of demonstrators self-consciously overstepped every boundary, opening the doors of study spaces with students reviewing for exams. Those who tried to close their doors were harassed further. One student abandoned the study room and ran out of the library. The protesters followed her out of the library, shouting obscenities the whole way.
Are there no voices out there willing to speak out against this craziness? Our president should be doing it, but all he does is stoke the fire. Imagine if the sentiments in the video below were actually spoken by Barack Obama or anyone who is notable and truly cares about the black community and race relations. Instead, we get rioting, looting, "knock out games," and now college protests.

America has indeed been changed....perhaps forever.
The majority of Negro-Americans do not understand that one reaps what they sow. All they know is that if they whine loud enough and long enough, government will give them more free stuff.
George Soros is reputedly funding these people.
I bet that a bunch of the white kids who were the targets of these Brownshirts believe themselves to be good little liberals who were on the “right side” of this issue. I wonder if they will finally wake up. The only way you are on the “right side” is if you have dark skin or if you pay the equivalent of the Jizya for being white.
Soros is the main termite in the woodwork of Western Civilization. He is reportedly funding the so-called Syrian refugee invasion of Europe, as well as spreading chaos across this country by exploiting the stupidity of blacks.
Any sympathy I once had for the black community as a whole has been destroyed.
Retarded, uneducated and stupid. You can’t fix that. Load more ammo.
“Soros is the main termite in the woodwork of Western Civilization”
In 2002 when I lived in Malaysia, a wealthy businessman told me there was an underground 1 million dollar price on his head there, also in Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore
The video from Claremont McKenna College was so infuriating, that I had to take a walk from my computer.
These fruitcakes were literately crying, yelling at officials, and snapping their damn fingers over something that no one could even ascertain was a real problem!
And then they want a safe space for “people of color”? The hell???
These kids will not like me if I have to deal with them.
>The only way you are on the âright sideâ is if you have dark skin or if you pay the equivalent of the Jizya for being white.
I do not delineate between blm terrorists and islamo terrorists.
Once they start killing, we go WFO.
Obama had a white mother, and his father was half Arab and half African. His lineage represents slave owners, slave traders, and Africans who sold other Africans into slavery. As far as we know, none of his ancestors were slaves. Yet most blacks trust him because of his skin pigmentation.
Obama squandered the opportunity to further race relations and healing of past wrongs. Instead he destroyed much of the progress, possibly beyond repair.
The first REAL black president will probably be a Republican. While Carson is neither my first or second choice for the nomination, I would welcome someone who could at least provide real leadership in this area.
Got love it these igmoes will complete the destruction of the Dumpocrat party.
Flush!
What happened last week at both Mizzou and Paris have handed the election next year to Donald Trump.

"Heartbreakingly the president of the United States is a pathological liar & America hating goon. Oh, and BTW, if you like your Dr, you can keep your Dr. And NO, we will not provide security for our fellow Americans in ultra-dangerous terrorist regions like Benghazi. And yes, Brian Terry WAS murdered with a gun that the US AG & obama smuggled to mexican drug gangs. And yes, his IRS bitch did criminally abuse power & lie. And yes, he calls gay NBA guys heroes but doesn't call real heroes that sacrificed for freedom.
The guy is a bad, bad man & psychotic liar."Ted Nugent
So much microaggression directed at the melanin-challenged. BTW, Do student agitators ever find time to study and go to class? Do they take courses that really challenge their intellectual capabilities?
They won’t wake up.
Are they, in fact, even students and not outside agitators who come on campus to do this. As was seen.... all over during Vietnam era. For example the “4 dead” in Ohio, were not students.
I've asked the same question. If they aren't students, why can't they be treated as loiterers or trespassers?
And exactly what percentage of the “black community” do you think these little punks represent.
And I would like to see a breakdown on how many of these Soros-funded community organizers are actually enrolled as studetns at these schools.
{”And exactly what percentage of the âblack communityâ do you think these little punks represent.”}
A very small percentage. I understand that and understand that most black people don’t even agree with what they are doing.
My point is that this constant whining and carrying on and police murder and burning cities is causing some of us to feel fatigued about the whole thing. The protestors are testing our patience and hurting their own community, the community they purport to represent.
