    I should have put this in current events, so I'll give some opinions.

    This is culturally suicidal. Why are Obama and so called Black civil rights leaders LEADING the nation into this mass behavior? Why are they ENCOURAGING it? Why don't they put peace ahead of anger? Dr. King would be devastated by this and I'm ashamed of them and especially Mr. Obama.

    This has to stop. Somehow. Some way. It's beyond foolish. It's downright idiotic.

    I think young Blacks are their own worst enemy and have themselves to blame for most of their problems. Why glorify a gansta lifestyle and choose to live that way? It's downright stupid.
    Why embrace stealing as totally acceptable - even preferable? What happens to a culture that has no interest in morals/ethics?

    Race relations have been much worse since Obama got in office and started fueling these fires with his pulling of the race card. If this nation is foolish enough to re-elect him, we're in for another 4 years of this - but more of it. He has fueled divisiveness. I lay this at his feet.

    Not sure where you're getting that. Why do you think they're encouraging it?

    Oh, bull. You guys are the ones playing the race card daily and you're the ones creating the divisiveness. Your own post is nothing but a diatribe against black people.

    Miami has had this sort of crime for decades... The gangsta culture is not a recent occurence... and nobody is more horrified than the black community... the Black churches etc.

    We ought to make better use of racketeering laws against these gangs the same way we did to route out the mafia.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*), daybreaker. We have the most racist administration in my lifetime. President Obama and the Democrats are delighted to speak out when it's something that can cause racial strife but the 100+ murders in Chicago so far this year don't concern them at all. That ongoing tragedy does not make political gain for the leftists.

    President Obama doesn't miss a chance to play the race card, The conrgressional black caucus thrives on the race card, Al Sharpton is a professional race card shark. Conservatives react to the constant race cards, religion cards, gender cards. The divisive leftists are disgusting. Who is Alysha Shell?

    Exactly. There are a LOT of people in this forum who express racist attitudes. Funny thing, is that they THINK they are so clever... no one can see through their BS.

    They remind me of the person in a relationship who is uncommitted... but imagines that their mate will 'never' detect their lack of true commitment. At some point (or many), they will be seen for what they are and called out about the same.

    I'd say that sounds like a good idea.

    Leading this nation into this behavior?

    I don't recall ever hearing the president encouraging violence in this country.

    I don't think anyone here can state with any sort of certainty whether or not Dr. King would be "devastated".

    Let me make this clear to you, TFM. I have nothing but contempt for your viewpoint and posting style. I could not possibly care any less about anything you have to say. That was within the TOS, so don't bother reporting it.

    Okay.

    However, it would appear my contention stands. You say the president is encouraging the type of behavior you cite in the OP. There just seems to not be any basis for that.

    What does this have to do with your head-of-state?

    Okay. You do not have to respond.

    I am simply stating that the charges in the OP, namely that the president is somehow encouraging "gang related mas shootings" does not seem to be based on anything that I am aware of. I have never heard the president advocate for such things.

    What 'reasonable' people are seeing from the Right today (primarily), is a tactic (an old one) where anything negative is thrown out at the President (like a "hail Mary pass), in hopes that such slander will 'stick'.

    In essence, it isn't working... but it feels so good to so many (since they enjoy 'hating'), that they keep on doing it.

    In my view, the Right and Republicans have a great deal of soul searching and reform to do, before they can argue the issues without resorting to abject ad hominem and attempts at character-assassination.

    I'm hoping that the coming Obama/Romney debates will have decent substance coming from both sides.

    The GOP has had Obama under siege since 10 months before his election.

    There has never been such a vile, race baiting, hate filled, nonstop, right wing media fueled attack on a US president in this countries history.

    The white establishment racists came crawling out from under their rocks the day he was sworn in, and they've done nothing but fan the flames of hate and malign blacks since

    Correct. And what helps ALL of America in all of this, is that we now know who more of the haters are and also how they operate.

    And with the attention directed as many on the Right wished for it to be, we also know readily, that racism is still a significant problem in America.

    Why should anyone support him? He's a Marxist and a social justice nut - that means "hate whitey. He's a racist. He's a liar. He's a bully.
    His policies, explosive spending, and massive regulating is harming America. I don't know how much more plain I can state that.
    We are all worse off since he was elected. Hope and change? Bull crap.

    You may 'feel' that way, but nothing anyone has said/exposed substantiates the same.

    This is not about my feelings. It's about his record, actions, background, and political ideology.

    It takes a really sick person to use a tragedy like this to take pot shots at the President.

    Have you no decency? Have you no morality? People are dead and a little baby girl is hurt, and you have the sick, twisted AUDACITY to turn this into a political attack?

    You disgust me.
