Just a minute ago I was listening to DL on the radio and he brought up a good point.
He says the last time he saw this type of riots and protesting was the Rodney King verdict.
He points out that the Republican President at that time (George Bush Sr) who had no political motives to gain... Bush found the acquittal so egregious that he used his power as president to call for a Federal trial even though the officers were just acquitted.
This lead to some of the officers getting convicted on a federal level.
DL said "Im not telling the President what he can or should do. Im just saying what has happened in the past."
...C'mon Barack.

B...b...b...but he cant just do that as the BLACK PRESIDENT.
...but he can help illegal immigrants become legal with the stroke of a pen.
-
Man too much ? is going on...and it all starts with this ? ass government we have. We are up there with Mexico and Africa when it comes to corrupt governments
-
There is an ongoing federal investigation on Darren wilson let's see what the outcome will be with that.
-
Supposedly the DOJ is doing their own investigation although I expect fuckery
-
So, my vote for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party in 2012 was worth it after all....

You fellas and gals need to realize he is the magical ? who does nothing. He is a prop and a way to diminish black power from the nation.

Yall was fuckn crying when he got elected -
Correct me if I'm wrong...but that post seemed rather....HOPEFUL. You dont still have Hope do you sir?There is an ongoing federal investigation on Darren wilson let's see what the outcome will be with that.
After all you've witnessed? -

Things change, u know how many hoes i dumped since OBama been elected?
Obama aint lived up to expectations, he needs to get dump -
What expectations? -
Hope & Change -
I don't appreciate the ? chastising the youth of Ferguson for getting violent with that cliché 'blacks need to be non violent' speech ? in front of a majority all white crowd in Chicago after the results of a judicial system which has failed us time and time again.
? scared to go to Ferguson and talk to them young people but he can get on a mic and chastise them from a far? If nothing comes from a Federal investigation just like what happened to Trayvon then nobody trynna hear that peace ? he talking while we getting met with violence. -
Or "well um, you know he ain't the president of just black ppl"B...b...b...but he cant just do that as the BLACK PRESIDENT.
...but he can help illegal immigrants become legal with the stroke of a pen.

mofos sleep but the 1st Bush was actually a decent president
that's why it doesn't make sense for black folks to blindly follow political parties..........we should make them earn our vote every election -

I mean...the decision just happened like yesterday. I see some of yall are ridiculously quick to point the finger at Obama, but realistically at this point thats ridiculous. I mean...it just happened like yesterday. Not enough time to even consider any where near all the factors and come up with a good strategy. Is that hard to understand? Cant just knee ? your way through life.

Bush reacted the day after the acquittal.
But we will see how the federal investigation goes -

Hmm. Yeah they two different types. Obama aint really the type to just fly with whatever without consideration. I was talking about some of the responses in here. Like lets be realistic. Also there is not an Attorney General in place right now. All factors to consider.
