Race politics and identity politics are dividing American society, and there is nothing ‘grassroots’ about it. It’s all engineered from the top down.
On November 5th, the day after US midterm elections, President Barack Obama met with Ferguson ‘activist’ leaders. It was not part of his daily schedule. He proceeded to tell protesters to, “stay on course”.
Did the President mean ‘stay on course for the rioting’?
Why is Obama meeting with violent protesters before a preliminary verdict is reached in what could be a protracted legal case? It’s not the first Obama has tried his hand at stirring up race mobs, claiming that a shooting victim “could have been my son”.
Why would a US President want to inject himself into a overly-politicized, volatile local matter? It’s something we’ve come to expect from this President, who acts a lot more like a precinct-obsessed Mayor of a city (there’s a job for you in Chicago), or petty dictator, than a President.
The lesson which the race baiting mobs should have learned from the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman trial – but didn’t, is that you cannot prove that racism was a factor in the individual altercation. The jury decided as such with Zimmerman, but the mobs still raged.
The same applies to the shooting of Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri this past summer. For this mob assembling in Ferguson, it seems as if anything short of a Grand Jury demanding the electric chair for Darren Wilson will result in the burning of the city, along with plenty of violent, random reprisal attacks against whites around America.
Let’s hope that cooler heads prevail, but it will be a tough verdict for mobs to swallow if Officer Wilson is not indicted. MOREHERE
