    If two people have different perceptions it would help if he explained specifically what he found offensive I didnt find anything offensive thus it would help if he could tell me from his perspective. I have no clue what he is referring and I am genuine in that claim. If he can just point me to a specific quote I could better understand his perception. But I guess that's too much to ask.

    Quote from the speech that told the cops to be honest about race? I can provide direct quotes were he subtly lambastes the protestors. Find me a quote where he criticizes law enforcement.

    I'm tired of vague platitudes from your ilk. You guys never directly quote individuals. You just make vague assertions about being 'divisive'. At no point was he taking down on the officers. You have to provide some explicit evidence to begin a debate that is rational and objective as can be, otherwise we are just throwing poo at each other's vague assertions

    My friend is an elder with LDS, and he is always inviting me to join him. Maybe this Sunday is the day.

    More people should report things like this. Seeing this level of racist nonsense on this board is pathetic and it's a shame it is allowed.

    I'm not interested in a stupid rabbit hole argument with you. I've told you Obama has been divisive in the past and provided examples of it. I also told you he's imploring others for a racism gut check at a time that was about honoring those officers. It's divisive for that 2 faced ahole to comment in that setting on situation he made worse. Look in the audience, not everyone is applauding his speech.

    A lot of minority liberals have victim complex because that's what they were thought growing up. Just reading CW and fchowd0311 posts you can sense the victim mentality within them.

    OMG, the LDS are really messed up. It is hard to explain without a lot of BS from uneducated posters. The founder of the LDS claimed to find an "extra" book from Jesus under a rock in the USA for which there is absolutely no Biblical basis. There is no basis for this in the Old Testament or the New Testament. Please look in other places for the truth. I will give you my e-mail in a rep if you promise not to spread it to explain this to you. I wish this site offered a Private Message option.

    Quotes where he is asking cops to think about racism? You can't just make assertions without evidence.

    Here. I'll make an assertion. President Obama subtly criticized the protesters for not lacking empathy for the difficult nature of law enforcement. Now I will provide a quote to back that claim.

    "And then we tell the police, “You’re a social worker; you’re the parent; you’re the teacher; you’re the drug counselor.” We tell them to keep those neighborhoods in check at all costs and do so without causing any political blowback or inconvenience; don’t make a mistake that might disturb our own peace of mind. And then we feign surprise when periodically the tensions boil over.
    We know those things to be true. They’ve been true for a long time. We know it. Police, you know it. Protesters, you know it. You know how dangerous some of the communities where these police officers serve are. And you pretend as if there’s no context. These things we know to be true. And if we cannot even talk about these things, if we cannot talk honestly and openly, not just in the comfort of our own circles, but with those who look different than us or bring a different perspective, then we will never break this dangerous cycle." -Obama

    Took me 5 minutes. I don't understand what's so difficult about it. I'm not asking you people to do something I am not willing to do. With an exact quote, we discuss on a more objective basis.

    Ignorance is more wonderfuler apparently. You underscore the inherent problem of debating someone who has his own set of facts and can't defend them in any way.
