Barack Obama & The "Opressed African / Black Community"

"Barack Obama bought into every one of the charges made by the angry question asker without attempting to refute or redirect the CONSPIRACIES behind any of the claims."

This is an interesting comment:

The Uhuru Movement does not speak for the "oppressed African/Black Community" where I live and they maintain two community buildings.
I have been to their meetings and listened with an open mind. I was surprised to see a large majority of them are white. The few blacks I saw seemed to be on the payroll of white radicals who want to destroy our neighborhood in a violent "uprising". The majority of people I met seemed to be white liberals who came to help the poor. The people in charge were a small group of white communists who had a different agenda. One confided in me that he hoped a revolution to destroy the state would start with riots here in south St. Pete.

They have made powerful friends in the political establishment. In recent years they have received over a quarter million in government grants and a half a million in gifts to renovate their main building. Jeb Bush gave their leader a pardon for his felony conviction so that he could run for mayor and help split the Democratic vote.

They have a distinctly different following in the streets of the hood. Their protests and anti police propaganda keeps the neighborhood in turmoil and undermine police effectiveness. Criminals are concentrated in these drug holes where fear keeps law abiding residents from calling police. Here they are making plans to incite a riot. This may come within weeks. The day a police officer is cleared in the recent and tragic death of a young black man will be the day they make their move. After dark criminals will assume that police will be ineffective and go on a rampage. The media will report this as a grass roots uprising against white oppression. Liberals will call for more social spending and the upwardly mobile will continue to flea this neighborhood.
It’s such a shame. Black people have welcomed new white residents and together we work for a peaceful community.
I am not blaming you for being part of this mess but I ask you to take care with what you say about this group. The news coverage of their disruption of the Obama meeting put their banner and web site in the national news. Unfortunately the reporters merely plugged in what they saw with the narrative of the day. McCain had charged Obama with “playing the race card” so here was footage that seemed to fit.

If you want to write about this group again I ask you to spend a few minutes watching a short video of their leader brag about shooting at police. There is a lot more to them than the mainstream media tell us.
