Obama said in 2009, that even though he didn't know the facts yet in the black professor Gates, Cambridge incident, he felt comfortable in saying in a national press conference, that "the police acted stupidly". So instead of siding with law enforcement, he sided with the so-called black "victim". That set the tone and sends a message for how blacks see race and their relations with police. Saying that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon, was a stupid thing to say and showed that he sided with the black thug. And urging and egging on the protestors in Ferguson in a meeting in Oval Office, instead of making a statement in support of the police officer, Wilson, showed bad leadership.
Eric Holder said in 2009, in his position as Attorney General, that "America is a nation of racist cowards". That set the tone for his Department of Just Us in treating everything through black racist lenses.
So, in a way, I think they did engineer the racial strife in America by sending clear messages from their positions of authority and leadership, that being racist towards whites and law enforcement was okay.
Obama was touted as the “post-racial” president but many who were anchored in reality said six years or more ago that he would set racial relations back fifty years. Apparently he has done even worse, he has created a racial conflict which has no historical parallel.
It's not semantics. Words mean things. What did ObaMao actually do? He hopped on the bandwagon.
...but the the reality is that Obama and Eric Holder, in the last six years, have poisoned the well of racial harmony in this country.
No argument there.
Not buying it. They are certainly racial arsonists, but black animus toward whites and law enforcement certainly predates ObaMao and Holder, and it is a facet of a signficant part of current urban black culture.
