Obama Speaks About Ferguson Again: “Frustrations” Of Racist Authorities In “Communities Of Color” Are “Rooted In Realities”…




Keep stoking that flame, Obama.


OBAMA: I hope you don’t mind, because obviously there’s a lot of stuff in the news, I actually need to begin by saying a few words about what happened over the past day. Not just in Ferguson, Missouri, our neighbor to the south, but all across America. As many of know, a verdict came down — or a grand jury made a decision yesterday that upset a lot of people. And as I said last night, the frustrations that we’ve seen are not just about a particular incident. They have deep roots in many communities of color, who have a sense that our laws are not always being enforced uniformly or fairly…

He doesn't likely get the irony of his statement.

Did you see George Stephanopolous of all people destroy him by asking, "What is to stop a future President from just asserting by Executive Order that Capital Gains Taxes will not be collected or enforced?"
 
We can see your picture (lol) and thank you for being so respectful. This is not an easy conversation to have due to bigotry and fear. I am glad we all are having it.
I grew up the only black kid in a all white community. I saw people move out because we moved in. I heard the slurs and negative talk. I went to private school my whole life and was treated as odd man out by my own race. But I also grew up in a totally integrated extended family. I was taught that a person character was worth more than the color of their skin or the size of their house.

I think the biggest wall we as a society face is lack of character or valuing it.
It's not where you come from but who you are. Once we start valuing that again the whole race issue will stat to fade away.

Well said.

I believe that you also asked for some solutions, or suggestions. My first take is that as far as the black community is concerned any solution has to come from within. The police are not going to provide any solution, nor the politicians, nor a bunch of white liberals who, although well meaning, treat the black man as if they are children, which in a way is just another form of slavery under a benevolent master.

This is from a speech made by Fredrick Douglas a long time ago.

I ask my friends who are apologizing for not insisting upon this right, where can the black man look, in this country, for the assertion of his right, if he may not look to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society? Where under the whole heavens can he look for sympathy, in asserting this right, if he may not look to this platform? Have you lifted us up to a certain height to see that we are men, and then are any disposed to leave us there, without seeing that we are put in possession of all our rights? We look naturally to this platform for the assertion of all our rights, and for this one especially. I understand the anti-slavery societies of this country to be based on two principles,--first, the freedom of the blacks of this country; and, second, the elevation of them. Let me not be misunderstood here. I am not asking for sympathy at the hands of abolitionists, sympathy at the hands of any. I think the American people are disposed often to be generous rather than just. I look over this country at the present time, and I see Educational Societies, Sanitary Commissions, Freedmen's Associations, and the like,--all very good: but in regard to the colored people there is always more that is benevolent, I perceive, than just, manifested towards us. What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. [Applause.] The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us. Gen. Banks was distressed with solicitude as to what he should do with the Negro. Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, "What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, don't disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot- box, let him alone, don't disturb him! If you see him going into a work-shop, just let him alone,--your interference is doing him a positive injury. Gen. Banks' "preparation" is of a piece with this attempt to prop up the Negro. Let him fall if he cannot stand alone! If the Negro cannot live by the line of eternal justice, so beautifully pictured to you in the illustration used by Mr. Phillips, the fault will not be yours, it will be his who made the Negro, and established that line for his government. Let him live or die by that. If you will only untie his hands, and give him a chance, I think he will live. He will work as readily for himself as the white man. A great many delusions have been swept away by this war. One was, that the Negro would not work; he has proved his ability to work. Another was, that the Negro would not fight; that he possessed only the most sheepish attributes of humanity; was a perfect lamb, or an "Uncle Tom;" disposed to take off his coat whenever required, fold his hands, and be whipped by anybody who wanted to whip him. But the war has proved that there is a great deal of human nature in the Negro, and that "he will fight," as Mr. Quincy, our President, said, in earlier days than these, "when there is reasonable probability of his whipping anybody."

Full speech, "What the Black Man Wants."

There was a bit of rioting in the overnight for the thread.

I was impressed that, for a change, it wasn't exclusively a bunch of white people discussing what is to be done, or not done for the black community.
