How would you react if the tables were turned?

BTW: that's rhetorical

A white police officer lawfully arrests a black man and B. Hussein Obama says that the police acted stupidly. Mobs of blacks attack white people and he says nothing. Isn't it strange how that works?

Not quite strange if one uses common sence when trying to make the comparison you present.

The black man that was arrested by the police officer was a personal acquaintance of the President, and no matter how unwisely, the president made a comment concerning the incident that involved a personal friend.
To my knowledge, the president hasn't identified any of the mobs as personal college acquaintances and therefore can't comment on any as personal friends.

Do you have information he personally knows any members of the mob or are you just trying to make something from nothing?

Anymore nuggets of wisdom??
It reinforces the prejudices so it must be true. Probably why there are ten times as many threads about """Flash Mobs""" in Politics as in Philadelphia

I fundamentally disagree. All participants of the flash mobs have been innocent victims who have suffered horrible racism all of their lives, which has led to broken families and their fathers abandoning large numbers of them - they are simply misunderstood, all of them.

We as a nation need to embrace them and offer make-work jobs, emotional support classes, remedial english and math classes to help them gain better skills, and infinite food stamps which can also be used for fashionable clothing items. Just don't waste any more time, call Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank, they are working right now with Kucinich to develop a plan that offers them hope, dignity, and an endless supply of .9 mm ammunition with which to plug holes in middle-class, defenseless civilians preventing them from fulfilling their boldest Grand Theft Auto fantasies...

What do you suppose he would say if multiple white mobs were attacking innocent black people?

since they are mostly poor, maybe we can give them some of the guns confiscated back (after use) from project gunrunner.

they probably still have bullets left.
