One question though, if AAs are so passionate about justice why do they refuse to offer information anonymously to investigators when they've witnessed a crime?
this is a solid question
another is this
if black people/supporters are so passionate about creating a better justice system, why do they want to promote the idea that due process is not important (which they do when police are ascertaining the criminal culpability of non-blacks who are accused of killing blacks)?
Ex: look at the legal standards they demanded for zimmerman and wilson. if that were the general law, young black males would be frickED

There is too much logic in that post.
Logic is racist.

Obama and it's not even close.
Take race out of the equation and Zimmerman is a guy who killed a guy for winning a fight. That happens every day. The media helped certain black groups turn it into something else and Obama fueled the fire by abusing his position. He then did the same every opportunity he got.
Also, Zimmerman isn't white, he's Hispanic. He didn't change the black/Hispanic relationship.

So many don't want a consistent application of uniform law, they want the Gladiator, Ceasar thumb up/down style of immediate judgement by the mob.
This isn't true of only black folks, although they do throw in a racial element (e.g. White on black crime means instant guilt).

i personally think it was stupid and should have been criticized more, but his "support" hasn't been some major act
yeah he did pull out the "my son" line with trayvon but that was years before BLM
he sent the DOJ down to ferguson and they didn't find any illegalities with that individual incident
but, in the end of the day, he's a modern liberal with lots of progressive in him (especially if you believe the rumors :rimshot:). it is to be expected with a liberal with progressive-inclination. he's not out there leading these protests or anything though

Zimmerman. all of this BLM stuff started there and there wasn't another major, national incident for a long time after. when mike brown happened, the embers were already hot and were just waiting for some tinder to take off

Right! Because Zimmerman has had a national platform for 7 years to promote racial division and class warfare like your hero.

Neither. The Media.
They hype or ignore stories and include or exclude details to create controversy.

Theres nothing irrational about faulting the leader of the country that is worse off now on every level than it has been in years- possibly ever. What part of his tenure has resulted in a net positive gain? Are race relations better today? Not according to the blacks. Is the economy better? Is the climate game community thrilled with BO? How bout our foreign policy? Are we more or less safe? Respected? Are we still a world leader in the eyes of other nations? Most would say "no".
All of this has happened or accelerated during Obama's time.
So what part of that is histrionic or irrational?

And regarding the two choices given, why is it that only white people think that Obamama has set back race relations? Everyone can see what happened with Zimmerman whether they agree with reactions or not.

Not in New Orleans.
Rape and murder are both up in 2015.

well in many/most instances, black people as a political bloc are irrational about certain issues. a major one is supporting DEMs
you can ignore obama's race or any self-serving commentary he's made on race and that irrationality would lead to the same results
hillary clinton or john kerry could have been president and done the same shite and they'd get the same reactions

The media include the opinions provided to them as fact. This often occurs before all the facts have been gathered. Public sentiment is molded early, then becomes almost unchangeable after the facts trickle in.
This caused the uproar during Zimmerman and Ferguson. Reporting that criminals were killed while assaulting people does not sell as much air time as reporting that racists shot innocents.
One criminal had a can of "iced tea" even when the facts clearly showed he did not. I have never understood why this fact was changed.
