Don't be ridiculous. Barry saying that Treyvon could be his son is the reason racial tensions are so high right now.Quote:

All that birther crap started way before Trayvon. What else but racism was that? Clue me in.Quote:

Obama hasn't been a divider on race.
White conservatives have chosen to take their cues from talking heads and get COMPLETELY butthurt over benign (and reasonable) statements like "he could have been my son" and the beer summit, etc, so the "divisiveness" is on them.
Its like they've been desperate to interpret every statement on race as an attack on white people. Considering how much these people hate the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world, it's pretty ironic.
any position taken by politicians on matters of public controversy cause division, as do any policies taken.
singling out Obama for causing division by doing what all politicians do (and inevitably must do) -- speak out and make policy -- is puffery.
white supremacy has a guilty conscience ... for which it blames the victims.Quote:

Why doesn't he hold those press conferences for anyone but black kids?Quote:

Yeah, he did that for all or most shooting sprees. Never had press conference for a single cop or white kid that was murdered though.Quote:

Well, the whites don't riot when that happens if you want to be paternal about it -- and I think you might.Quote:

Of course, whites really have it rough these days. I can't believe we have survived this long in Obama's America.

Michael Brown wasn't an apt poster boy, but social resentment over predatory policing didn't start with his death.
The Ferguson PD deserves the flames for financializing its law and order mission and targeting poor black citizens for decades.
When the police visit injustice on the public with impunity and regularity, the public may tend to judge them unfairly for actions that are reasonable and justifiable.
beef was legit, the instance probably wasn't.
How you can be a divider on race relations when you have a congress who openly says they will not work with you basically because of your color. Some true dumbasses in this thread.
Whoa. When did that happen?Quote:
