what is the president suppose to do regarding mike brown?
if he intervenes he would be slaughtered by republicans for disregarding state sovereignty.
all he can do is hope the governor requests federal intervention in the investigations then he can come thru like :cape:

but the governor is on his :mjpls:so I doubt he would throw the lob to :whew:

and if the riots got so out of control that the government had to step in to quell them. Obama and his relationship with the black community would be :camby:

I understand what the President's limitations are as far as intervening in Ferguson.
But you people have to stop acting like Obama couldn't be more vocal about the high profile violence that has been happening to black people while he has been in office.

There are ways that he could speak to these injustices and set/urge directives to curtail this sort of shyt.

In any case, there's nothing in the West interview that isn't true.

I still think Ron Paul would have done more than Obama :yeshrug:


Go ahead call me a c00n or whatever
Ron Paul actually does have some decent ideas I agree with.
It's his total disbelief in any sort of social programs that turns me off him.
He doesn't live in the real world, in that sense.

Real nikkas knew this 08. They had to avoid them revolts somehow.

name them
I bet the shyt you come up with will be things Obama has already done.

Provide reparations to black people who get cheated by government and law officials? Check
Reduce the sentencing for black people who seem to get much more years for crimes in comparison to whites who commit the same crimes? Check
Speak out against gun violence against black people? Check
Speak out against police brutality? Check

Cornel West is useless.
BEYOND useless

I'm glad I saw through this clown's bullshyt and no longer subscribe to his bombastic grandstanding.

This whole article exposed his ass: http://nymag.com/news/features/cornel-west-2012-5/

Not to mention that Cornel argues like a fukking child sometimes. Dude doesn't understand how the world works sometimes and i think he's just groveling to the lowest common demoniator.

I've been said to be an Obama supporter, and I am to an extent, but some of these "criticisms" are nothing but a list of shyt obama isn't perfect on rather than anything else. Its like people really expect the PRESIDENT to be their best fukking friend.
