An emotional President Obama declared on Thursday that “all Americans should be troubled” by fatal police shootings this week of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, saying that they were ”symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system.”
Speaking in Warsaw, and citing statistics that showed that blacks were far more likely to be arrested and shot by police, Mr. Obama asked Americans to try to understand that many people in the country think they are being treated unfairly.
“When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if, because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same,” he said. “And that hurts. That should trouble all of us.”
“To be concerned about these issues is not political correctness. It’s just being an American,” Mr. Obama said. “And to recognize the reality that we got some tough history and we haven’t gotten through that history yet.”
This incident looks like racially-motivated revenge, to me. Or could be ISIS taking advantage of a volatile situation.
Did anyone see that Fareed Zakiria (sp) CNN show on why the terrorists hate us?
At the very end he got into the fact that blacks are 13% of the population but commit more than 50% of homicides.
Obama, you shallow racist, do you think that might be a reason more blacks get shot in police encounters?
Obama is pure evil, hateful and ignorant.
Total racebaiter
He's been fanning the flames of racial tensions and this is the result.
Congress better act and impeach this farking worthless POS.
