What did Trump personally have to say about the killer cops?
Did he condemn them or does he support them?
Does Trump agree that Black Lives Matter?
Using his own words. What has he said about this subject?
Bruh no offense but now I see why you almost got killed at your job.
You foolish as hell
People YEARN for the days of Obama. He's the most famous president alive (counting the current one) and if he ever wanted to do something political again, 99% of black ppl would support him.
That's some flagrant shyt breh no offense........

Black Lives Matter is currently defunct ad was immediately disbanded as soon as Biden was elected, despite NO police brutality reform being passed and NO real change for black people on ground. BLM is a FAKE organization and its clear the Dems used it to confuse your simple ass on their true intentions. You should be asking Biden if BLACK LIVES MATTER the way he is ignoring negroes and DEFUNDING HBCUS.
Stop looking at what the politicians SAY and focus more on what they DO.

Yeah it's scary how unfit some of y'all are as voters... Say lessObama would have been too p*ssy to do a stimulus and student loan deferral.
These be direct questions too.
Pretty simple ones
Here's the answers: Trump supports the cops. He doesn't care about the unarmed Black people being killed. He has been know to call for the killing of wrongly accused brothers.
To support Trump is Stockholm Syndrome if you're Black. You've accepted your role as servant to these ghouls
Worthless Loser
Blackpilled
Another awful take. This is what happens when you post with your feelings.
Presidents can set Department of Justice policy on how to best conduct oversight of police departments. They do not make prosecution decisions. They do not interfere in cases. That isn't going to stop white police man from deciding to kill a black person.
Compare Obama's DOJ oversight efforts to the efforts of Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and Trump and its not even close. Obama's DOJ had the best reform efforts. That's not to say his reform efforts were flawless, but they were clearly the best in the last 40 years and when you have police departments who refuse to cooperate, that becomes more problematic in the effort for meaningful reform.
One issue with DOJ efforts is that they can easily be overturned by the next President. And Congress is too broken to pass actual and meaningful reform law.

Obama says 'white resistance and resentment' stopped him from pushing for reparations
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/obama-says-white-resistance-and-resentment-stopped-him-from-pushing-for-reparations/ar-BB1e1cpu
Feb. 25—Former President Barack Obama said reparations for Black Americans were a "non-starter" during his presidency.
Obama, the country's 44th and first Black president, said on Bruce Springsteen's "Renegades: Born in the USA" podcast released Monday that he thinks reparations are "justified" — but believed them to be "unattainable" when he was president.
"So if you ask me theoretically: 'Are reparations justified?' The answer is yes," he said. "There's not much question that the wealth of this country, the power of this country was built in significant part — not exclusively, maybe not even the majority of it — but a large portion of it was built on the backs of slaves."
But, he said, pushing for that type of economic support for Black Americans, including descendants of slaves, during his presidency likely would have been unsuccessful.
"What I saw during my presidency was the the politics of white resistance and resentment, the talk of welfare queens and the talk of the undeserving poor and the backlash against affirmative action," Obama said on the podcast. "All that made the prospect of actually proposing any kind of coherent, meaningful reparations program struck me as, politically, not only a non-starter but potentially counter-productive."
During his first campaign for president in 2008, Obama said he agreed with the "underlying sentiment of recognizing the continued legacy of slavery" but didn't necessarily support reparations and instead favored more "practical policy goals," The Washington Post reported in 2019.
"I fear that reparations would be an excuse for some to say 'we've paid our debt,'" he said, according to the Post.
Black and white wealth gap
There remains a persistent and wide gap between the wealth of white and Black Americans.
In 2016, the average net worth for a white family in the U.S. was $171,000 — ten times higher than the average net worth for a Black family, according to The Brookings Institution, which pointed to centuries of discriminatory policies against the Black community as a reason for the disparity.
And the wealth gap between Black and white Americans has remained stagnant for decades, The Washington Post reports, with "the black-white economic divide as wide (in 2020) as it was in 1968."
"The historical data reveal that no progress has been made in reducing income and wealth inequalities between Black and white households over the past 70 years (since World War II)," economists Moritz Kuhn, Moritz Schularick and Ulrike I. Steins wrote in the Journal of Political Economy.
Reparations are a controversial and unpopular issue, polls show. A June 2020 Reuters/Ipsos poll found just one out of every five Americans supports the idea of "taxpayer money to pay damages to descendants of enslaved people in the United States" — with around 10% of white people in support compared to about half of Black respondents.
Democratic push for reparations
Obama's comments come as some Democratic lawmakers have renewed a push for reparations.
Last week, a panel in the U.S. House of Representatives heard testimony on the creation of a commission that would be tasked with examining the history of slavery and discriminatory government practices in the U.S. It would also make recommendations, including financial compensation for the descendants of slaves, on remedies, The Associated Press reports.
Passing a reparations bill, however, could be difficult even with Democrats in control of both chambers, according to The AP, and some Republican lawmakers have pushed back on the commission
"Though it is impractical and a nonstarter for the United States government to pay reparations, it is also unfair and heartless to give Black Americans the hope that this is a reality," Rep. Burgess Owens, Republican from Utah, said, noting that his great-great-grandfather arrived in America on a slave ship, according to The AP.
But Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, said the "government sanctioned slavery."
"And that is what we need, a reckoning, a healing reparative justice," said said, according to The AP.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that President Joe Biden supports a study on whether descendants of formerly enslaved people should receive reparations, The Hill reports.
"I believe that's what's being discussed and studying the continuing impacts of slavery, which is being discussed in this hearing on H.R. 40, and he continues to demonstrate his commitment to take comprehensive action to address this systemic racism that persists today," Psaki said, according to The Hill.
Obama said during the podcast that, though he was "convinced that reparations was a non-starter" during his presidency, he understands it should be discussed.
"I understand the argument of people I respect, like Ta-Nehisi Coates, that we should talk about it anyway if for no other reason than to educate the country about a past that too often isn't taught, and let's face it, we'd rather forget," he said.
why shouldn't he? we've been just that obtuse for the last half century at least.

Obama says blacks must show greater responsibility for their actions.
The Reset Race crew goes through recent bills passed and Executive Orders signed for Asian Americans. Watch until the end to see Obama's response when asked about policies specifically for Black Americans.

Police where getting shot and killed before Obama was a thought, but he signed the Blue Alert Law to protect Police officers/Race Soliders.
But this nikka Obama hands were tied when it comes to helping Black people....Oh lord I can not do anything for you nikkas, mines hands were bound
Obama signs 'Blue Alert' law to protect police
President Obama signs the Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu National Blue Alert Act of 2015 in the Oval Office of the White House Tuesday. The act, named after two police officers who were killed in New York, will assist the National Blue Alert system to apprehend violent criminals who have injured or killed police officers or who have made an imminent or credible threat to cause serious injury or death of a law enforcement officer.
