Obama had the first chance to finally squash racism in this country: The first black President. After politicizing every horrible crime, Trayvon comments, sending officials to funerals of black people while ignoring others, pandering to low income neighborhoods, not offering solutions, playing the race card, etc., he has set this country back decades.
Even had his wife publicly talking about race and how "bad" she had it.

Race, race, race.

After politicizing every horrible crime

He's the president of everyone; including our black citizens. Just like a family, if one member has had a tough, traumatic experience, a good father and leader will be in-tune and aware of this. And will try to get the other members of the family to understand why they feel the way they do.

Trayvon comments,

Wow so bad for empathizing? What did trayvon do to deserve dying? Punch a dude? Keep standing behind Zimmerman, who the world knows was/is a lunatic. ITs a fear many black parents have for their sons and daughters; law enforcement doesn't treat them the same. instead of fighting this ignorantly, maybe take the time to connect with your fellow citizen. We are all just trying to do the same things; work, pay our bills, raise our kids and be good citizens.

sending officials to funerals of black people while ignoring others

Noted... black folks have been ignored for 200+ years. Get off your privilege high horse and just be happy for them. You have a whole group of americans that finally FEEL American...and they've been here longer than everyone but the Native Americans. Thats good for our patriotism and good for civics system.

quote:
pandering to low income neighborhoods

Is he not the president of all? You rather him ignore them and continue to let them self destruct? Or will you only care when some misguided kid from the hood comes and robs your store?

quote:
not offering solutions,

He was in a tough place as Black man arguing for solutions...damned if he did damned if he didn't. Look at how some people turned on him the minute he had a nerve to check a cop...as if cops have higher authority in this country then the President. The cop works for him, he can reprimand him if he wants.

quote:
playing the race card,

What the hell is the race card? Is this just the notion that the right majority is gonna get upset anytime race is implemented in something...even though it involved in every fabric of our society in some shape or form? So sensitive.
