Obama on Baltimore Situation

[Born2BKing]

I'm convinced nikkas don't appreciate shyt.

This was about as thorough of a response you can get from the guy, but nikkas is sleep.

You can TELL he's fed up with the shyt. And even moreso, with the RESPONSE from Americans (i.e. cacs) when situations like Baltimore arise.

He legit told the world what the deal is, on some "well...if you wanna change shyt, we can, but you gotta be serious about it, instead of only paying attention when shyt goes down."

He's not fired up, he's worn down and tired of the bullshyt, it's all in the nuance & undertone of his speaking. Real talk, there will never be another (at least any time soon) as real as Barack. NOBODY on a Presidential level, and I mean literally NOBODY would address the root causes for shyt like the Baltimore protests & Ferguson, and the inner workings of urban plight like he just did. It might not be the immediate change that cats are expecting, but just to be in his position, saying what he's saying is infinitely commendable. Salute this man.

My cousin lump lump still in prison though. Obama ain't do shyt. #freelumplump

We need police. So just come up off that dumbass ignorant fatherless c00n shyt you're on.

Son, the funding isn't whats the problem.

Its the policing. Its the ACT of being a police officer thats a problem.

no, we don't need police

i'm actually part of an organization that is trying to teach communities of color ways to resolve conflict without police involvement, there are MANY ways to handle shyt w/o calling killer ass cops.

the arrest rates are higher in communities of color and poor neighborhoods because they are OVER-policed, anything to feed that prison industrial complex.

you familiar with The New Jim Crow?

same ol same ol. he might as well not speak on it anymore really. we ready for action now, we had enough empty words. we've had several national incidents and he's gotten tamer with each one. half the country doesnt like you and never did, might as well keep it real aint like they can kick you out now

Successful economics would make communities not need more cops.

You can tell Obama is salty that he has to respond to this situation because of the chance that he might say the wrong thing which could end up offending blacks, whites, or both. This is a messy situation indeed.

he OBVIOUSLY has close to zero fukks to give in regards to what we think. if he did he'd actually DO something for us fukking once

How were his word empty?

What you want him to say? fukk 12? fukk whitey?

I *hate* how both he and the Baltimore mayor have came out and called people "thugs". Dog whistle shyt to make cacs feel like their racism is justified.

And honestly, he's late, once again.

There have been so many of these stories since Ferguson, Obama barely touched on them during his SotU address (When the country was still paying attention, he said like 3 sentences on it), and hasn't said shyt until now.

I don't think he's "our guy" and I really don't think he gives a shyt. Democrats have pitiful on this shyt, and it's because of the 2016 election, they don't want this to be an issue that they have to be expected to govern on, they are not better than the republicans in that they just want this all to "go away".

All I want is for somebody to make this a presidential election issue...most of our "leaders" seem to be scared to do it though.

right, so rich nikkas don't get treated like shyt by the cops?

 

[the cac mamba]

got a panel discussing his speech on fox right now

gotta be honest, as awful as fox is i find myself settling on their coverage of this when i flip thru the channels

the ground reporting has been the best, commentators are debating

as far as the speech, hes up there saying "there are bad police" . i wasnt expecting "motherfukk the police "

now they got geraldo rivera walking around arguing with people tryna fukk up his interviews

 

[wire28]

made some really good points. didn't like the thug tag tho
but his final point was the best he says what the real problem is and how he wants to fix but politics get in the way aka these crackas in congress holding me back.
I'd still like to see a little more action after this concerning his last point

his whole speech was a back and forth of appeasement

they're thugs!

oh shyt gotta appease the black folk now

but what about these bad cops tho

oh shyt gotta appease the white folk now

these police got a hard job yall

i do agree on your action point though. he's said the same thing over and over again. time for some action. cause you know if this is how obama is treating these incidents what makes us think the next president is going to do any better

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Such as...?

like make moves to pass legislation to stop us from being killed out there all wily-nily

or maybe have a Justice Department that doesn't always find the police innocent when they engage in genociding black people by inches

why the fukk am I even responding to you?
are you really the WOAT?

 

[wire28]

How were his word empty?

What you want him to say? fukk 12? fukk whitey?

make over the top exaggerations because you cant handle disagreements, brehs

 

[mrken12]

actually, just listened to the speech in its entirety and it was pretty decent.

It was just a speech. Nothing will happen afterwards. The cops won't go to jail.

Well, he can't just get up and say "I'm going to do so and so for Black people today." There's a bureaucratic aspect that you're excluding.
