Obama Defends Black Lives Matter By Comparing Them to Movement To End Slavery…
The fact that BLM has led to police officers being murdered apparently does not concern Obama. Obama praises BLM while denying the reality of black on black murders, where the real tragedy is. He refuses to admit the real issues in the black community. His hate for police consumes him.
Quote:One of the great things about America is that individual citizens and groups of citizens can petition their government, can protest, can speak truth to power, and that is sometimes messy, and controversial. But because of that ability to protest and engaging free speech, America over time has gotten better. We’ve all benefited from that. The abolition movement was contentious. The effort for women to get the right to vote was contentious and messy. There were times when activists might have engaged in rhetoric that was overheated, and occasionally counter productive, but the point was to raise issues so that we as a society could grapple with them. The same was true with the civil rights movement and the union movement and the environmental movement and the anti-war movement during Vietnam. And I think what you’re seeing now is part of that long standing tradition.

There is fault on both sides. There are issues in the black community but there are also major issues in unfair sentencing that builds tension between the police and the community.

Making outlandish comparisons doesn't address those important issues. And while many like to talk about unfair sentencing, it is important to remember that many influential black leaders championed them during Clinton's administration.

It's not an outlandish comparison. I would bet that pro-slavery Americans felt just as strongly as USMbacker does about BLM. It's the right of Americans to protest and make their voices heard.

An example of the BLM leaders that Obama praises and loves so much....
Dallas Rally Organizer Quotes Jeremiah Wright: “G##damn White America”…
Hence the reason Obama is such a vocal defender of BLM.
Quote:“[I’m going to channel] an old preacher that I admire tremendously. Jeremiah Wright. And I’m going to f*cking say, g@@damn white America. G##damn white America. White America is a f*cking lie. Come on now! I’m sick of the bodies of black and brown people being slaughtered in our streets.”

Says more about the technology of our day. Imagine what a camera would have captured filming John Brown for a day.

Would be nice if the 'preacher' would have mentioned that they are slaughtering themselves. Wright is just another race-baiter looking to get rich off of feeding misinformation and lies to people too damn dumb or bitter to think for themselves.
There's been 150+/- black individuals killed by cops this year, 98% or more justified more than likely. How many THOUSAND black people have been killed by other blacks people committing crimes this year?

Not shocked that Obama would be defending and supporting a domestic terrorist organization.

How is liberating people from bondage comparable to 300 deaths from cops? Sure, people can run their mouth, but it doesn't make the statements true.

falling for clickbait partisan nonsense doesn't address the important issues. all he said is that the right to protest is important and can accomplish a lot of good things, but can be counterproductive. it's the same line of thought which argues free speech is an essential right but in order to preserve it we have to tolerate the 1% of racist, bigoted, hateful crap.
yet that doesn't fit in with the OP's agenda so he twists things.

Um yes it has...
unless you want to use the same old "he was mental" line that the GOP will use when someone bombs a federal office building, shoot up an abortion clinic, or shoot up a black church.
at the very least without that incident and without the NYC ambush murders you have "no BLM isn't murderous...they just throw cinderblocks on top of officers from highway overpasses."

The shooter himself said what inspired him to kill cops and it was not BLM

That's an outright lie.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/us/dal....html?_r=0
Quote:During the standoff, Mr. Johnson, who was black, told police negotiators that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” Chief Brown said. “He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”
Your continued defense of this terrorist organization is sickening.

If he was upset about BLM then how do you connect him to that organization. He was obviously at odds with them as well. This would explain why he would attemtp to make them look bad by doing this at one of their peacful protests.
