Imagine that - everyone is missing the point.
What edge is saying is....The President of the United States, TWICE, injected himself into a single localized crime where a black person was the victim, or perceived victim.
He did this TWICE.
Why did he do that? In both cases he spoke of race as a factor, so why in cases where race is also clearly a factor, does he not inject himself when the victim is white?
That is a legitimate point.
My take is as it was all along. The President (any) has no business injecting himself into a local low-level criminal case. None.
We got the point, genius. Our reaction is due to the fact that it is a fucking ridiculous point.
What would you like to have him say? EXACTLY. Give us two or three sentences of what you think Obama should say in reaction to this crime.
Thanks.
You say you get the point...then turn around and ask me something that goes against the point.
Sooo....you are still missing the point.
What should he say? Not a freaking thing...THIS IS THE POINT.
The President of the United States has absolutely no place injecting himself into a local small crime. None. One fantastic reason is look how foolish he looked when he came out and called the police department "stupid" - when his little Chicago buddy was arrested on his front porch. He made a complete ass of himself and had to publicly apologize for it.
And then there is the second point, in both cases Obama made racial points about it - and with the case of his buddy - HE was the racist. Not the white cop. Obama played the race card and it backfired.
So now you have these cases where a white person is the victim, and there is a clear racial component - and he is silent.
That is a legitimate point.
"so why in cases where race is also clearly a factor, does he not inject himself when the victim is white?"
Your words. Do you know what your point is?
Do you want him to say something or not? Make up your mind.
