President Barack Obama said Thursday that the Black Lives Matter movement has given voice to anger and discontent over policing and incarceration that has long been a fact of life in the black community.
“The African-American community is not just making this up…It’s real and there’s a history behind it,” the President said. “I think the reason that the organizers use the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ was not because they were suggesting nobody else’s lives matter. Rather, they were suggesting that there is a specific problem that is happening in the African-American community that is not happening in other communities.”
This is a President who bragged about being high on drugs all through high school and not remembering much of it, and who is the one many are looking up to for advice and leadership. Well guess what – he just isn’t providing it. I have never supported him and I certainly do not look up to him for his politically convenient answers like most.
Barack is a vile, irresponsible human being…and I’m being generous. https://t.co/t1MZ8y3Kh1

As for the “movement”, it started when a piece of criminal garbage THUG attacked a police officer after robbing a store and was shot. Obama’s racist and anti-police mindset quickly supported the rioting. The DOJ tried to find anything they could pin on Officer Wilson, but the facts proved the THUG was 100% the instigator.
‘Defending’ it means he condones their tactics which means he’s an idiot! #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/QQjDWma5xJ pic.twitter.com/FYSzgZ6loj

Obama babbles on about how the “injustices” in the community lead to more African Americans in jail for drug convictions. How many robberies and murders were perpetrated by African Americans last weekend in his corrupt city of Chicago with their strict gun laws? Hundreds of African Americans are killing each other for every one killed by a police officer. Eliminate the lawful shootings by police (LIKE FERGUSON) and the numbers are even worse for the movement.
Of course Obamas racist ass would defend Black Lives Matter movement. His anti police stance is disgusting. https://t.co/QLJbZ76Bds

I will tell you what, Mr. President, have it your way! You get the inner city thugs to stop committing crimes like murder, theft, drug dealing. . . .and we’ll all agree that there is an inordinate number of blacks being arresting and incarcerated. Sound fair?
When you pay people to be poor, they have no reason to try to better themselves. Perhaps there is a tomorrow. If you give people hope and education and a reason to try harder, maybe they’ll work to improve themselves and not resort to crime.
This isn’t something you can fix with speeches and Twitter campaigns.
Do you think Obama should have weighed in on this subject? Do you think this empowers the false narrative movement? Add your comments below and share this story on your social media timeline.
