Oh so now Obama speaks?

[TEN]

I have family in the UK and there are many from the UK who post on the board.. Trust me if I can follow politics from my home island I can follow geopolitics from abroad especially the UK as I regularly talk with my cousins 3 times a month out there..

Post that shit..

Cool. I'll keep that in mind and I understand where you're coming from bro.

However I'm not an avid political poster. But on this subject it hurts me to my core. All I see is black people I don't see American or British I just see brothers who look like me getting murdered and the most powerful man in the world not doing much about it. I haven't got the answers but I'm gonna speak my bit or rather question my way thru

Also to those who think im just attacking obama please go back to threads i made when the brother was elected in to office i can assure you there was no prouder english blackman alive on this planet and i let it be known. Good brother HNIC even sent me an obama tshirt that i rocked everywhere! And im STILL and forever will be proud of his historical achievement. But over the last five years ive felt so let down on this issue.

Obama is nothing more or less than a figurehead of a nation who won't put down their guard dogs when they attack us.

He's useless, and fuck them for condoning what they do.

Where did you get the 560 number from? Source?

The Guardian someone posted a link yesterday.

There goes yo black woman bgol

And he's the cracker quoting the black woman.
I didn't look to Bush or Clinton to speak up as President either and this shit didn't just start. So again I say where is YOUR voice

He gave a well publicized speech about the cops on civilian killings earlier yesterday. Gave another later after Dallas.

Innocent black men shot, mudered by police. Obama no where to be seen.
Innocent cops shot, murdered by snipers. Obama comes out and cant shut the fuck up?

 

[Mo-Better]

No disrespect but your not a citizen of the US.. You don't get a pass to criticize a us president and not make one single thread ever critiquing your own PM

I have to disagree. Just like 1 + 1 = 2 all over this universe, the truth is the truth regardless of its source. You can elect to ignore it, discredit the source or whatever you want. What matters is the truth. Where he lives matters not.

I don't understand...
Why the beef against Obama?
Lets see how the next POTUS speak on local cop shootings.
Cuz I swear I don't remember ANY POTUS commenting on white cop & black victim shootings.
The man trying.

Lets see Trump or Hillary have these types of sit downs to ATTEMPT to reach answer. (when we all know there isn't)
The man is trying.
He held a press conference in Poland to address the two black shootings.
He didn't have to do that.

good to know, thank you.

now i wonder what actions, if any, will he take.

He didn't have to do that.

and that doesn't worry you?

Good words my brother, well put

No. Who should be addressing US is the state and LOCAL officials.
And they usually shut the fuck up about police shootings and UNARMED blk men.
But they speak up when they see Rev. Al's ass come walking in.
Look at Bloomberg!
Straight business man. Billionaire.
He didn't touch that Sean Bell case at all. That was on his watch!
All he said was "I agree, 50 shot is a bit aggressive." That was IT.
He didn't meet with the Bell family or NOTHING.
Who speaks for the unarmed? At least we have a Pres. who doesn't ignore the shit. Like all the rest have done.
It's a problem. He knows it, he addresses it.
Pres. Barack Obama said his son could have been Trayvon.
You think ANY POTUS would put themselves in a situation like that to get railroaded by the media and other racist groups?
I kinda see your point, but you gotta give it up to this dude.
He's not ignoring our problems.

I am hoping @sammyjax throw this Human Rights joint together so we can have something started up.
Cuz, when Obama leaves, shit is gonna change, even with Hillary there.
Don't even wanna think about Trump in there. We'll be having these threads AAAAAALL DAAAAAAY

What actions can he take? (Not being sarcastic)

 

[ViCiouS]

Fair enough. But i just did though. As for my pm he and all politicians are just as bad and in many cases worst than obama. If i thought u gave a fuck about hearing about how much of a cunt my pm is id had told you long ago. I can guarantee you dont tho

talk about it - man

there are enough people paying attention to geopolitics on the board - and you guys have always had comedians and crazy stories when pols fuck up - lately Boris Johnson alone is just a walking punchline

 

[ViCiouS]

What actions can he take? (Not being sarcastic)

its an election year - so nothing

 

[trstar]

It's the local officials that are the cowards. They immediately punted the issue to the feds to handle. They don't want to punish their own as murderers. Or hoping the Feds slip up and give them a pass. Or blame the Feds for prosecuting the local cops.

What actions can he take? (Not being sarcastic)

he seems capable of action to protect cops. How bout action to protect you?
