Obama's Tradition Of Fanning The Flames Of Racial Discord

On Wednesday, President Obama laughably claimed that he has "a tradition" of not interfering in controversial cases before they are resolved.
"My tradition is not to remark on cases where there may still be an investigation," he said to guffaws all across the nation.. That may have been true for his predecessors, but it certainly is not true for him.
Whether it was Skip Gates, Trayvon Martin, or Michael Brown, the Community Organizer in Chief made a point of very inappropriately weighing in while the investigation was ongoing.
What exactly was the point of calling the police stupid in the Professor Gates case, or noting that if he had a son, he'd look like the teenage delinquent Trayvon Martin? Why did he respond to the violence in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting, with deep condolences for the family of a violent teenage lawbreaker, but no calls to respect our laws, or to respect the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line for us?
Why didn't he encourage the inflamed mob to take a step back and wait for the evidence to come out before leaping to conclusions? Why didn't he ask them to trust in the American justice system? Obama and Holder knew that the evidence exonerated Officer Wilson, early on, but instead of discouraging the toxic false narrative of a Gentle Giant surrendering with his arms up in the air, they allowed the myth to grow.
Why is it that whenever our first black president meddles in racial matters, he always manages to make things worse?
Ahead of the Ferguson Grand Jury decision Obama met with Al Sharpton and other racial agitators in the White House, telling them to "stay on course" as they planned nationwide protests. Why is Al Sharpton (of all people!) advising the president of the United States on matters of race? Is Sharpton advising the president, or is the president advising Sharpton?
What exactly is going on here? John Perazzo of FrontPageMagazine has an idea, and I think he's right.
In his quest to cultivate the type of chaos that would spark social revolution against America’s capitalist system, Alinsky exhorted activists to constantly “rub raw the resentments of the people” and “fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression”—but to do this in measured tones, so as not to “scare off” middle-class Americans.
Thus did Obama dutifully and blandly call for “unity” and calm in the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown’s “heartbreaking and tragic” death, even as he repeatedly reminded us that: “police should not be bullying or arresting” anyone without cause; “in too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and left as objects to fear”; “there is no excuse for excessive force by police”; “the justice gap” between whites and nonwhites is unacceptable; “the criminal-justice system doesn’t treat people of all races equally”; and “too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black, or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.” And when the grand jury in Ferguson subsequently chose not to indict Darren Wilson because the officer obviously had shot Michael Brown in self-defense, Obama pronounced the black community’s indignation to be “an understandable reaction.”
Obama’s carefully chosen words—all delivered in the type of nonthreatening tenor advocated by Saul Alinsky—clearly communicated a single, foundational theme to African Americans: In the racist cesspool known as the United States, black people are routinely treated like second-class citizens, if not subhumans. Oh, and by the way, please remain calm. Wink, wink.
Thus, Obama and his race-mongering partners on the ground, threw fuel on the flames of racial discord and the National Guard were purposefully held back to allow Ferguson to burn.
Those revolutionaries out on the street looting, burning, and throwing molotov cocktails at the police, are this president’s foot soldiers – just like they were in Sanford Florida, just like they were during the Occupy “protests.”The America-hating Alinsky also taught that activists, in order to cast themselves as defenders of high-minded principles, must theatrically convey “shock, horror, and moral outrage” whenever any of their demands—however inconsequential—are not met. And no one conveys such emotions more convincingly than Obama’s aforementioned racial “advisor,” Al Sharpton, who vows to continue the Michael Brown/anti-police brutality crusade until the end of time if necessary. Alinsky understood quite well that even a pathetic moral degenerate like Sharpton can be an effective revolutionary if he is skilled in the otherwise worthless arts of bluster and righteous indignation.
And just like they were in Denver earlier this week.
A Denver police officer is in critical condition after being crushed by a vehicle during a school “Mike Brown Walkout” Wednesday. The accident happened while four bicycle officers were responding to students marching down the street. As the officers tried to protect the students from traffic, a motorist slammed into them sending all four to the hospital.
Is this the America Obama had in mind when he promised fundamental transformation?
