Police Kill Unarmed Teen In Ferguson, Missouri

because obama has the power to make racists not racist anymore just by snapping his fingers?

like who really believes that the election of a president can really affect race relations on an individual level?

But you didn't answer the question.  

So again, what does the President (this thread isn't about Obama) have to do with Ferguson (this thread is about what happened in Ferguson)? 

Again, I'll wait.....

Well, there have been lots of comments in here that aren't related to Ferguson. Lots of general anti-cop, anti-white, anti-justice system, anti-America comments that had nothing to do with Ferguson. Why don't you call them out? My comment was in reaction to those.

You're usually saying some asinine ****, but this takes the cake.

What tensions has he eased? The world isn't his to police...THEY EASE THEIR OWN TENSIONS.

Congress won't even work under his presidency so he's powerless.

How in the hell do you expect him to ease racial tensions when he can't get his black *** any respect in his own house?

WHITE folks run the country, not President Obama.
 
So Obama the magical negro didn't convince white people everywhere to stop being racist? SHOCKING!?

Don't know why anybody would think a president can change ignorant people's views and emotions.

As far as the issue of Obama and race relations is concerned, we should remember that candidate Obama did not say that he would usher in a new era of racial utopia. Some people in the media declared Obama's election to be the beginning of a post racial era in our History, they were wrong obviously.

Also, race relations have always been bad because this country has white supremacy still lurking in its body politic. The situation looks worse than it did 10 or 20 years ago. It has not looked as bad since 1992 when the LA Riots happened. We have to keep in mind that for 16 years, racial tensions were somewhat masked by a pair of Presidents who were conciliatory, in their rhetoric at least.

Bill Clinton had a good rapport with middle class and working class whites and he had a great relationship with black voters. George W. Bush was not beloved by most black people but he was atypical of Republicans who came before our after him. Notice that George W. Bush did not indulge in "makers vs. takers" or "lack of work ethic in the inner city" arguments. In the 2000's, white, conservative America had Muslims and gays and Mexicans as its prime enemies in the culture wars, the "welfare queen" was a bit passe. From 1993 to 2008, there was some what of a slight detente in black-white relations.

This 15 year period of the illusion of calm was bolstered by a concurrent 15 year period of fleeting and hallucinated prosperity. In 2008 and 2009, the mirage utterly vanished. Economic pain and uncertainty were sweeping the Country as Obama got elected and Inaugurated. Economic downturns tend to bring out the fear and tribalism in people, especially among white folks, who saw the American dream vanishing, and as a result, they clung to their white, American identity as a source of pride.

The 2012 elections seemed to have ramped up the level of fear and anxiety among a number of white people. Mitt Romney got a majority of white votes and he still failed to get elected. The 2012 election was a harbinger of future elections where suburban white males and their wives cannot override the wishes of everyone else on election day. The Kings and Queens in their McMansion Castles will have to start making concessions to a younger, darker, gayer, indebted, less religious and unmarried electorate.

In the last quarter century, race relations fundamentally never improved nor deteriorated. Today, things do seem more tense, more "hot," but that is due to reactionary politics on the part of some white people, economic anxiety for every but the elite, demographic shifts. It would be unfair to blame Barack Obama for cultural, economic and demographic forces that are beyond his control.
 
Some of you cats get sideways with that "troll" comment.
Nobody knows how to use that word in the correct context in this thread.
Yall legit flipped on a dude who was posting a comment about Obama?

But, not everyone in this thread acts ignorant.
Not everybody calls people SWS or trolls for their slightest disagreement with the Gen Pop.
If one went through life avoiding places because of others incompetence or ignorance, do you realize what that'd mean? Where'd they'd go? If my comment on a few actions in hear leads you to the conclusion that I find this thread intolerable and have the same opinion of every poster here, well, you just correctly placed yourself in the category of the people I was talking about.
