Obama Praises George Floyd Protests: ‘Makes Me Feel Optimistic’
Breitbart ^ | 11 Jun 2020 | Penny Starr

Posted on 06/11/2020 11:47:12 PM PDT by SaveFerris

The Washington Post on Thursday opened an online interview with Valerie Jarrett about race with a montage of peaceful protests and an appraisal of them in the wake of George Floyd’s death from her former boss, Barack Obama.

“When sometimes I feel despair I just see what’s happening with young people all across the country and the talent, and the voice, the sophistication that they are displaying and it makes me feel optimistic,” Obama said. “It makes me feel … this country is going to get better.”

Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty called the protests sparked after Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police, “peaceful” and made no mention of the widespread violence at many of them.

That violence has taken place in major American cities over the past two weeks where stores were looted and burned, monuments and historic buildings vandalized, and police were driven out of their precincts, some of which were set ablaze or taken over by protesters.

“I just see what’s happening with young people all across the country and the talent, and the voice, the sophistication that they are displaying . . .”

Yep. It takes “talent” and “sophistication” to burn down and destroy businesses, churches and entire sections of cities.

Obama loves the damage being done to the country, it’s the fruition of his life’s work. Done by his Army. Shortly after the country is starting to recover from his coup.

Obama is a sophist,
‘a person who reasons with clever but fallacious arguments.’

Osama Obama feels optimistic because he knows that no Molotov cocktail will be reaching his multi million dollar mansion in DC (the one with the 20 foot high walls) or his multi million dollar beachfront mansion on Martha's Vineyard.

OTOH,the working class/middle class black folks in certain cities know Molotov cocktails all too well after having watched their Mom and Pop convenience store...the one they've built up over 30 years...burn to the ground.

“Race relations were steadily improving until this POS hit the scene.”

That’s probably a fact. Hopefully “silent blacks” are aware of it.

Obama referred to the “talent, and the voice, the sophistication that they are displaying”. What’s he talking about?

Was he optimistic about the historically low minority unemployment rate, or the long-term funding of black colleges and universities?

He should feel hope. The country(part of it anyway) seems to be going just as it was under his leadership. Maybe he should run for president again.....of CHAZ.
