oh you mean the same violent ways like these white terrorist in this country past and present ? Or the history of Rascism coming from whites past and present.
Do you think BLM marches with hoodlums attacking cops and burning down CVS, chanting "pigs in a blanket", black murders shooting white cops and innocent white civilians, or Obama blaming police without facts will alleviate racism by whites? Seriously?
I do not. These actions harden or even reverse people's thinking on black racial relations.
Some people blame Obama for everything, so this is no surprise.
Yes, Americans expect accountability from their elected officials. Not lies, deceit and division. Of course, what we expect and what we get are often two very different things.
Long-simmering anger in law enforcement circles at President Obama started spilling into public Friday when some blamed the White House for stirring lethal hatred of cops by focusing most on civilians killed in confrontations and not the 58 police who have died on the job this year — five in Dallas last night and today.
David A. Clarke Jr., of sheriff of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin, bluntly called Obama the "cop hater in chief."
The statistic includes all forms of death, including heart attack.
Some choose to blame the sitting POTUS for everything that happens, everywhere.
Black Lives Matter is every bit as much a terrorist organization as ISIS and al Fatah; it should be designated as such (along with the Crips, Bloods and Occupy Wall Street) and suppressed accordingly.
This president is the most divisive ever. Race relations are at a low. Any time there is a shooting of a black person he immediately takes the side against the cop, talks about how wrong they were before getting the facts (like in the michael brown killing),talks about black death stats (without mentioning that 6 percent of the population is responsible for 50 percent of this country's murders...might be why cops are on edge...they'd like to go home at the end of their shift), and then blames guns.
Yes, obama IS divisive. Never heard him mention black killings in inner cities. Or tell people that if they don't resist arrest, make fast moves that they are less likely to be shot.

Do you really expect us to believe that Obama is the cause of racial tensions in this country? President Obama also spoke eloquently about how police put their lives on the line every day. I see you left out every part of those sentiments.
It's actually people like YOU - who can see only one side of the issue - that is the cause of what is going on in our society today.

Just say NO! Remember Raygun?
The crime bill mostly dealt with violent crime.

And police shootings under Obama are the lowest they have ever been. Of course, the right wants to ignore all that because ti does not fit their narrative.

She's white. So the racists can crawl back into the woodwork and the misogynists can crawl out.

35% of Americans are worried a great deal about race relations
Number has more than doubled in past two years
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- More than a third (35%) of Americans now say they are worried "a great deal" about race relations in the U.S. -- which is higher than at any time since Gallup first asked the question in 2001. The percentage who are worried a great deal rose seven percentage points in the past year and has more than doubled in the past two years.
