    So, a black man dies in police custody in the back of a police van with three black officers in the van with him at the time of his death. Then the inner city black population of Baltimore then goes on a looting spree and sets the city on fire. Next the black mayor and the black attorney general of that city go on TV and engage in blatant political demagoguery which has the effect of stirring up that community still further. Then the black attorney general files charges against these officers, charges which were clearly politically motivated right from the jump. None of them were convicted and she eventually dropped the remaining charges against them.

    And in response the Obama Justice Department decides to blame white people and play the race card, yet again.

    You really cannot make this stuff up.

    If you want to see racism in action, this is a fine example of that by Barack Obama and his racist regime.

    Born and raised brown Texan who is very sympathetic. Militarized police and police tactics when officer deaths are at an all time low is a problem. Officer pay is terrible which makes the work force terrible. Not the best and the brightest out there. The Blue Line is also a huge problem for citizens. Folks, we've got problems and they need to be dealt with.

    It's likely that Freddie Gray did not have a job. Where art thou Martin O-Malley? Hillary Clinton?

    All this talk of "reforming" the system. Why not start with jobs? Or education?? Instead of allowing millions of illegal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of visa workers, why not address the shortcomings in the education system?

    I think when you look at it, people like Clinton are closet racists.

    [rQUOTEr]Just 42 percent of the residents in Freddie Gray’s neighborhood are employed

    ...

    • Just 42 percent of residents are employed, compared to the national average of 59 percent.
    • Thirty-three percent of residential properties are vacant or abandoned.
    • Just 54 percent of its residents are even in the labor force, even though 77 percent of residents are between 20 and 64 years old.
    • Just 4.5 percent of the neighborhood has a Bachelor’s degree.

    This is a sizzling take. Tell me Mojo, how many lunch counters have you been banned from for being white? Have you been denied federal home loans because of the color of your skin. What racist policies enacted by the Obama administration have caused you to live life as a second-class citizen?

    The DOJ investigated[i/] this and nothing in your post contradicts their findings. You feel affronted because they even bothered to look. The moment you jump to hyperbole is the moment you lose potentially sympathetic ears. Your side really hasn't learned anything over the last eight years if you can't see that.

    One White man still walked into a church and killed 9 black people
    Cops killing unarmed people almost weekly now . . . .

    What reaction should we have to that?

    No, but I'm looking for examples of actual "racist" policies enacted by the "racist Obama administration" that have personally affected MojoMan's life.

    So far as I can tell, no law has been passed that has made his life more difficult based on the color of his skin.

    To be fair, there will be no legitimate examples of people in the US of any color being banned from a lunch counter during Obama's term either.

    How come people aren't talking about this report????

    You guys are ok with racial bias in police departments? This is very disturbing.

    Mojo, Rojo, et al - what's your reaction to the stuff in the report?

    Because ultimately it is irrelevent.
    NOTHING is come of it
    No changes
    No charges
    Nothing

    Lack of legitimacy has never really been a concern for those who see racism everywhere.

    Deep down, did you feel justification when the two blacks killed 8 cops?
    Be honest. Some part of you said it was deserving at some point, right?

    Did you ?
    Or could you honesty look in the mirror and say it was a terrible act and nothing could ever justify that.

    If you believe that, please say it!
    Nothing justified what they did, and there was no reason for it

    They're just fine with it, in fact they don't even believe the report. Why would they care? Everybody knows the score.

    So you saying that you feel those 9 people killed in a Church deserved it?


    And You feel every time a person is killed by Authority . . .they deserved it. . . is that right?

    I don't know about what he feels "deep down" but his expressed opinion was basically "eye for an eye" on the incident when it happened. It is what it is, there were some people that had pretty awful opinions on that incident at the time.

    They are not even reading it - and instead of addressing the blatant injustice and bias in the report, they bring up the death of cops It's messed up that they are ok with racism (or pretend it doesn't exist) and focus only on "their kind"

    That's the problem with America - everyone has staked their side and their side can do no wrong - only the other side is wrong.
