To the spineless person that used a rep point rather than post in the open forum to address "conspiracy theory", you really need to get a clue. Obama has worked tirelessly to divide the country thus weakening it in every respect that he possibly could.

I can't remember what I was watching but it was saying that if we are fighting one another, it will draw our attention away from the REAL issues. Indeed! The old standard "lie" or "deflect" of the Democratic Party, except for Bernie who I have respect for and think does not play their childish games!

The difference between the crazy white guy who shot up a black church because he was mentally ill and the crazy black guy who shot the cops because he was mentally ill is nothing, absolutely nothing.

Same mental illness obsessing on another race and using obsessive behavior against them to harm them in an all out freak out. Stocking up weapons, planning destruction. You have to be crazy to do this, mentally ill to do this. Sane people don't hunt other people.

Black people have just learned they have that lone mentally ill guy who will cause carnage as well. Same as white people. Now white's will hold black responsible for this crazy black guy just like they did with white people after the church shooting. See how similar we are?

We are all the same, we need to stop pretending one is better or worse off and just accept that there will always be a few crazies and they will, unfortunately, leave casualties on a few very sad occasions. This is not a perfect world. Neither speaks for the majority. It's time to let this go and come together and get over our differences. It's 2016.



Lone wolfs do not represent. Let's stop pretending they do.


I wouldn't accept a million dollars to be a police officer today. Everyone should be thankful we have any left at all.

Yeah...I got one too, from the same spineless poster. It's kind of nice to know I pissed someone off...and got a rep point for it, too! LOL

Just like you don't want all officers' judged by the sins of a few - you cannot judge all peaceful protestors by the sins of a few.


Yes?
Yes!!

Having problems with his policies and agendas are not race related.


However we do see him fanning the flames thereof.

I gather some missed the video showing some of the protestors taunting Police while they were dealing with getting shot at.

I'm sure there are some racists who don't like 0bama because they are... racists.

But, its disingenuous or stupid (or both) to characterise all disagreement with 0bama as being based on race.

Or, do all believe that all of the Democrats who want Bernie rather than Hillary are sexists?
