Obama has set back racial tensions by decades getting personally involved with local issues starting with the Trayvon Martin case and people have been attacked and killed including LE simply for being white because of Obama IMO.
Just how involved did the President get in the Trayvon Martin case? Which people, when and how have they been attacked "simply for being white because of Obama"? Who's LE? - Quote:
-
1) With the Black Lives Matter movement that has started since Obama, why is the truth never explained or understood that most of the deaths are from blacks killing blacks?
Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the "Black Lives Matter movement" reaction to too many black people being shot and killed unnecessarily by police officers? I'd guess that some of those officers may have been black but the vast majority weren't. - Quote:

2) How would an elderly Canadian that doesn’t live and work in America even get a clue to what they’re talking about?
Possibly by having been born and raised in the U.S., visiting it for extended periods and by reading.
Ok Ima, what year did you move to Canada and why did you move there? And when you do return to America are you going into predominately black areas getting to know and understand the people? If you answer those questions I’ll fill you in on my background living in Seminole County, FL. Much as you would seem to like it to be, this thread is about neither you nor me. Feel free to tell your life story but I'll give it a pass.

Ok no problem, so you’re an old man now that moved to Canada to dodge the Vietnam draft serving when you were young? At least have the backbone to see and understand the people you disserted before talking about American racial problems…

Colo think BlackLivesMatter is racial too. You got that right. If the movement was ONLY Black Lives Matter, that would be racist.

I you really want to talk about me, start another thread and I'll consider whether I would care to respond.
I will no longer respond to personal comments in this thread.

I for one don't care if you respond or not and it's not worth another thread to me. I know what you said about it.
