Subject: [talkhard] Will Obama speak on the police killings of black men? Tavis Smiley Slams Obama for Weak Response ...
To:
I was just speaking to a friend last evening and we disused what a weak response Obama had to these shooting. It was similar to the response that he had when Dr. Henry Louis Gates was arrested for going into his own house several years ago. Then Obama invited the cop to have a bear ... He goes to tears and is outraged when other atrocities are committed but "mums the word" when Black/Africans are affected ... While I'm not advocating starting to shoot cops, this is the response by government officials and Obama when 5 Dallas police were killed in an ambush:

Smiley Slams Obama for Weak Response: Black 'Babies Are Being Shot Dead In The Streets'
Tavis Smiley is furious that President Obama has not done more to combat racism in America, and that anger was on full display Monday night. On his self-titled PBS program, Smiley unleashed a pair of long-winded leftist rants barely disguised as questions to his guest, Dr. Tricia Rose from Brown University.
Rose, who directs Brown's Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, had suggested that Obama was incapable of ending structural racism in America by himself. Hearing that, Smiley erupted: "[I]f you're right about this, then what the heck is the value of us celebrating a black president?" [Video below. MP3 audio here.] ...

Cornel West: President Obama Doesn't Belong on Any Shirt with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X
Dr. Cornel West compares the legacy of President Obama to another Nobel Prize winner, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Barack Obama commits war crimes — Somalia, Yemen. He commits war crimes in Pakistan, Afghanistan," West said. "Martin Luther King Jr. tried to keep a spotlight on war crimes, to keep track of the innocents killed ... There is a major clash. That is why I tell my young brothers and sisters when they walk around with their little sweater Martin, Malcolm and Barack Obama, I say, 'Please. That's like Coltrane and Sarah Vaughan and Pat Boone. They are a very different tradition.' We love brother Pat, but he doesn't belong on that shirt and Barack Obama doesn't belong on that shirt. Let's be clear."
