Ironically in the same region as the shot heard around the world that started a bloody chapter in our history, the insult heard around the world has apparently done the same thing. In 2009 president Obama gave license to criticize police for just trying to do their job. They weren't camped out, looking for black people that night. They were called and they responded because that's what they do. Did the black man on the other end show his id and get on with his life (a very privilaged one I might add)? No, he made a show out of it and made a mountain out of mole hill to prove a point. The media ran with it due to ratings, we had a little beer picnic and from then on race relations have deteriorated.
So far Obama has opened his big mouth while the twenty something radical in him only grows in vocabulary, but not in wisdom. Interjecting himself when the victim could look like his children, but only if the perpetrator did not. He has lectured us on Jim Crow and slavery and ceremoniously participating in the Selma bridge crossing. Where are the lectures for those that look like his children who kill eachother nightly in this country? Why is he associating with al sharpton who drinks the blood of black victims to exploit them for another day in the limelight? How many times has sherriff Clark been invited to the White House? Why is he glorifying jay z by partying in the White House instead of condemning the lyrics of rap music that go against every liberal tenant that exists?
What could have been such a real change factor for innocent and motivated black people in this country, they now find themselves in a crossfire between two groups armed to the teeth and scared to death to let the other one get the drop on them. I think even those of us who didn't vote for him were rooting for him to make the lives of minorities better. That was his resume, community organizer, right? He blew it and our new reality is pretty short on hope and long in the wrong direction of change.
