re: Why are blacks vilified for not toeing the Obama line?

Was Obama right to go before the UN and refer to Ferguson as an example of injustice in America?

No he did not. He never said "injustice". He mentioned it as an example of unrest in our own country with people divided:

I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri -- where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions. And like every country, we continually wrestle with how to reconcile the vast changes wrought by globalization and greater diversity with the traditions that we hold dear. But we welcome the scrutiny of the world -- because what you see in America is a country that has steadily worked to address our problems and make our union more perfect.

But you heard your own truth through your own prism based upon your own life experiences. And you did the same thing re whether the cop was justified in killing Brown and the Trayvon case as well.

The same is true for the black community and their support of Brown and Trayvon. The black community sees things through their own prisms based upon their own experiences.

When the thread was put here re the cop shooting the dog, those with experiences of cops being dicks saw it has wrong while those with different experiences saw it as the cop defending himself.

It's human nature to see things through our own prisms based upon our own experiences.
