Time for You to Address Violence in Black Communities, Mr. Obama
Townhall.com ^ | February 3, 2013 | Charles Payne

Dear Mr. Obama,

This week Hadiya Pendleton was shot and murdered in Chicago just days after performing with high school marching band at your second inauguration.

She was a majorette in addition to playing volleyball and being an honor student at King College Prep High School.

My plea to you is you attend her funeral.

My plea is that after the funeral you address the entire nation in prime time and discuss an epidemic that's eroding our nation and destroying millions of dreams.

That is the real epidemic of violence in black communities

There is no better example than your hometown of Chicago or Chi-Raq as many locals have begun to call it.

It is time to stop using the false pretense that you would be labeled "the Black President" for showing true love and caring for black people.

Take Shirley Chambers with you to the funeral for she is well-practiced in the sorrow of grieving.

Last Saturday she lost her youngest son to violence he was the last of her four children alive- all have been murdered over the past dozen years including her 15-year old daughter.

My plea to you is that you are honest about what's happening and not afraid to be honest about where to pin the blame because we need real solutions.

If you commit to this with all your heart and soul maybe we could get a real change and mothers in black neighborhoods will not have to hope their children come home alive from school or a local concert.

During your inauguration you quoted a King and his belief that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.

If that's true then it’s more so true of Americans and American lives.

It’s time to forget about being politically correct and do the right thing.

My plea to you is to deliver to the people that believe most in you more than flowery words and economic assistance.

We can't be free if we are killing each other.

Maybe my 2A rights wouldn’t be as infringed if black murder rates were on par with the rest of the nation.

As America’s first black President, Barack Obama could (even now) do more to end the racial divide than anyone. Instead, he chooses to exploit it, and to further the victimhood mentality. He learned a lot more from Jesse Jackson than from Martin Luther King.

There isn't one thing in Obama’s gun proposals or in Feinsteins proposals that will slow down the violence in America's black Communities.

Sorry, Chicago mamas — Obama doesn’t have time. He’s got 11 million illegals that are in dire need of his attention. They need to get out of the shadows and it can’t wait.

He thanks you, though, for your sacrifice in furthering Progress.

Why was there no “new gun regs” uproar when Hasan mowed down 40 people at Fort Hood?

Obama never really cared about black America, except to the extent that he could lead whatever ill-informed poor black denizens of Chicago that would follow him, Pied Piper style, to Community Organized Activism.

His entire life, up until he had to get out and establish some sort of ‘black street cred’ had been in the midst of white people interspersed with a multitude of Islamic oriented characters. He even bragged about how he ‘got over’ on white people by acting nonthreatening, etc. He further bragged about where his true allegiance lay - Muslims.

The only reason he cares about them now, or ever, is their CERTAIN racist 95%+ vote for him.

Sorry Mr. Reporter(?).
You will get absolutely NO sympathy on this particular case.

If they could even hint a White guy did the shooting, you would get some response, HELL if they could prove a White Car was used in the getaway, there may be some response.

These people - the Race Pimps/Baiters already have ‘egg on their face’, when the name George Zimmerman SCREAMED ‘whitey’ and (if it were possible to embarrass one of these fools) the sheer panic and UH OH’s that came up when Zimmerman was introduced to the public had them all scratching their a$$e$.

They tried lightening up photos of GZ. They tried to make him look menacing without making him look Latino.
They tried to portray T Martin as an ‘innocent, baby faced kid, out for a lark on a Sun(?) Evening - or as Hillary says “we don’t know if a few guys just went out one evening and decided to ‘kill Americans’ but “WHO CARES”?.

The utter failure in this particular case ‘FORCED’ the MSM to invent a NEW word - WHITE HISPANIC.

...and the beat goes on...

So, Mr Reporter, if you want Sympathy, go to the Dictionary between $h-t and Syphilis and you will find Sympathy.

Yeah, but you gotta understand, nobama wants the racial divide. How do I know? He screams his desires by his inaction. But it's all part of the plan.

Maybe Obama is tiptoeing around this issue because he hopes to win the Ku Klux Klan’s “Great White Hope” award...

That’s what he’s doing now. He is doing his best to make the comfortably poor Blacks into comfortably wealthy Blacks. All this screaming going on is comfortably wealthy White folks who don’t want to resort to being comfortably poor.

Great post. I simply don’t understand how anyone can vote for this fraud. Stupidity is the only reason I can come up with.
