He praised the movement as “really effective in bringing attention to problems,” but said young activists should be more willing to work with political leaders to craft solutions instead of criticizing from outside the political process.

“Once you’ve highlighted an issue and brought it to people’s attention and shined a spotlight, and elected officials or people who are in a position to start bringing about change are ready to sit down with you, then you can’t just keep on yelling at them,” Mr. Obama said.

“And you can’t refuse to meet because that might compromise the purity of your position,” he continued. “The value of social movements and activism is to get you at the table, get you in the room, and then to start trying to figure out how is this problem is going to be solved.”

Exactly why we can't get shyt done. He tryna put us on game and we rather criticize and just keep yelling.

:mjlol:


While I'm glad he called them clowns out he hasn't put "us" on game during his stint. Son wouldn't even publicly call out police officers for these unjust killings but was quick to call impoverished folks in bmore thugs :francis:

It's not the fact we keep yelling... Disobedience and being an agitator in this political climate is needed. Fact remains the only way these politicians listen is if you had money... $$$.

BUT HE STILL REFUSES TO FACE WHY BLM EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE STILL WONT ADRESS THAT BULLshyt!!! :pacspit:

You didnt know breh? Obama was suppose to paint the White House black and kick the cacs out :skip:
Also singlehandly bring a end to white supremacy in America :skip:

folks go extreme when they can't make an educated response :skip:


Nobody expected him to do all that but I can say Mexicans can credit Obama for doing something tangible for them. Blacks? :skip:
NOPE


The image is good for the young kids tho. Outside of that Obama was a waste of time. Funny he's trying to save face on his way out the office though :russ: Nah, nikka.

He's right. What exactly are the demands of BLM? What are the goals? No one actually knows. It's like OWS, they went out there camped for 6 months but no one actually knew what their demands were or who they wanted to resign, no clear plans at all.

Someone mentioned mexicans, pretty sure they had propositions and bills they wanted met and were presented to congress.
