[From article]
When one protestor made good on the threats and assassinated two New York City cops, Obama perfunctorily condemned the murders from Hawaii and chose not to attend either funeral. The nation's police noted.
[. . .]
On Father's Day in 2008, candidate Obama took his campaign to a church on Jesse Jackson's home turf, the South Side of Chicago. Obama's message was unequivocal. To murmurs of approval from the almost entirely black congregation, Obama preached, "If we are honest with ourselves, we'll admit that too many fathers are also missing."
Lest the listeners think Obama was speaking in general, he added, "You and I know this is true everywhere, but nowhere is it more true than in the African-American community." He then spelled out the consequences, including the fact that boys who grow up in fatherless homes are "twenty times more likely to end up in prison."
An absentee father himself, Jackson took Obama's comments as a personal and professional insult. A few weeks later, awaiting a remote interview with Fox News, Jackson made his feelings known on a hot mic.
"I want to cut his nuts out," Jackson whispered. "Barack, he is talking down to black people." This was all most people were allowed to hear, but there was more. Almost universally, the media edited out the participle phrase that followed "black people," specifically, "telling n*****s how to behave."
Valuing his nuts, Obama has apparently felt it a safer course to tell white people how to behave, especially white police. As a result of his one-
sided messaging, even law-abiding African-Americans see themselves as oppressed, and ordinary thugs see themselves as revolutionaries.
"I'd like to say sorry to the families of Aiyana Jones, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner and I want to apologize to them for not being able to get justice for their loved ones who were murdered in cold blood." So said Frederick Young this week when asked to comment upon being sentenced for the cold-blooded murder of two innocuous white teens in Detroit. Added Young, "And in respect for the people protesting, I want to say, 'Hands up, don't shoot. Black lives matter.'"
Thus wrought Obama.
