I hear all this blame laid all over the place - on the media, on Trump, on white supremacists, on America First.
One thing you’ll never, ever hear is the riots blamed on the rioters themselves.
That would be racist, of course.

Or the socialists who have been running that state and city for decades. It’s THEIR police department and policies.
I have not seen or heard any statements about the widespread rioting and violence... Just dog whistles to encourage more of the whirlwind. The vilest man ever to occupy the White House.
Shut up Obama. No one asked you.
0bama was POTUS once, but he always was, and always will be a radical CO (Community Organizer).
Obama’s only talent is Hustle’n Jive. He’ll never be anything other than a pimp and one of the Devil’s many concubines.
Barry need to be reminded of his Miranda Rights.
MSNBC is repeating the line that white supremacist groups initiated the destruction of property in Minneapolis.
FU Comcast!
The Illegal President.
Tell Bambi to replay his anti-riot Baltimore speech to avoid contradicting himself while attempting to criticize Trump.
Don’t need or want to read the idiot’s statement - all I know is he’s seeing his plan come to life - the sole reason he was put in the WH to begin with. What he didn’t accomplish while he was there is continuing this week and he is hoping that this time will be the end of White America....He said he was transparent - he really was. We could all see what he was doing and why!
In the end, Black Lies Matter started on his watch, as his second term was halfway over and blacks realized they’d gained nothing from his presidency. A few token jobs in high positions, lip service, and the ramming through of the white liberal agenda - while they fell even further behind all the Third Worlders imported here to replace them.
The media pushed him into the spotlight, and is now trying to return him to it despite the fact that few blacks have any kind words about him. He was their Judas, and they know it.
Someone who should be disregarded as having a serious point of view.
“....to work together to create a “new normal” in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts.”
But it has to come from both sides. This proclamation was initiated by white on black crime incidents. Yet stats indicate otherwise. So we are not getting the full information or an honest evaluation from Obama, as usual. Where was he when people, of both races, were harmed in his home of Chicago which has one of the highest ethnic crime problems in the country? He screams race, but doesn’t supply the real information.
According to the last full year of statistics from the DOJ I could find, White perpetrators were causing 69% of all the crimes, and Black perpetrators were committing about 27%. However the population percentages of the two races at the time of this information release was white - 76.5% and black – 13.4%. And as the rate of race percentages also includes white/white and black/black, there is a disproportionate amount of crime between the two races. And that’s one of the major problems.
The crime rate for whites is too high at an equal, basically, percentage of the population. But the crime rate for blacks is almost double the amount of their population percentage. So before we can start to create that new normal, is it acceptable for one of the races to be given a higher acceptable percentage than the other? If that’s normal, then we didn’t gain a thing in the transition. And a large part of the fault is the people accepting the current percentages as “normal” while calling it racial.
Nothing will be corrected until all the crime is taken care of. And it should be up to the leaders of their racial groups to assist in this. An example of this was the 2016 killing of 5 white police officers by Micah Johnson while they were protecting protesters of white crime by police in Dallas. Not one single protest was filed anywhere in the US over this loss. Yet have a crime against a black in the US and it causes all kinds of further crime. Incidents like Arbery, Floyd, Brown, King and Marshall are examples of this. However, the last three were either executing or had already executed crimes and were attempting to do more harm. Yet the protesting and violence happened. The transition away from these expectations can only happen when it is recognized that there are problems on both ends that need help before they reach the middle.

The reality is that his ‘organizing’ efforts were targeted toward his political career, not to help those in the community. He likely thinks, based upon his ideology, that success for him and his ideological comrades will ultimately be good for blacks - but that's selfish, self-serving, and delusional thinking.
Ultimately we will do better when race doesn't matter, and we all share a desire for freedom, prosperity, self-determinism, and for our families to be happy and thrive. Currently, however, there are way too many who will flippantly use race to divide us - for their personal gain.
You’re preaching to the choir.
Obama was awful. A muslim first, a racist second, and a man sympathetic to and trained in far-left methods of societal disruption.
Entirely agree.
The Left is ginning up the hatred with their remarks, fueling the fires verbally. Looks like the situation is getting perilously close to requiring martial law and mobilizing the entire armed forces. These people will not back down. The Left thinks it is on the road to victory. This is how wars are started.
Hey white suburban women who smugly voted for Obama because it would signal to everyone that you weren’t racist? Yeah, turns out you’re still racist, Obama himself says so.
Bigger question is if he is still involved in the “resistance.”
