    Then tell us what would be identifiable?

    I remember clearly how impossible is was to tell the difference between the Viet Cong Charlie, and all other south Vietnamese who they blend with. The same is happening with isis/alqaeda

    He was not proven innocent in court, he was found not guilty. A whole world of difference.

    When did I say he was innocent? I am exclaiming that it was JUSTIFIED. It was justifiable homicide. If any part of the killing weren't, he'd be in jail. He was justified in killing a vicious attacker.

    Like this?

    "Too many fathers are M.I.A, too many fathers are AWOL, missing from too many lives and too many homes," Mr. Obama said, to a chorus of approving murmurs from the audience. "They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it."

    - - - Updated - - -

    One does not beed to be proven innocent in court. You start out that way unless proven otherwise.

    So like this?

    “But we also need families to raise our children,” he said. “We need fathers to realize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t just make you a father. What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child. Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.”

    He does lecture the black community and gets criticized by them for doing it.

    So what is the difference?

    This reminds me of this stupid flyer teachers were given in the 70's telling them the tell tell signs of what a stoner was/looked like. Long hair, sun glasses, rock band t-shirts, tight bell bottom jeans that drug the floor and had frayed from the ground, but most of the stoners were on the football team, wore nice clothes and were the preachers/police officers/principals kid. Just stereotypical BS compounded with idiotic nonsense.

    So if they are a carrying a gun, they are gangbangers, if they have tattoos/piercings even though you can't see them because they have on a hoodie they are gangbangers, if they say (*)(*)(*)(*) every other word they are gangbangers, and if they look nervous/anti-social/refuse to hold eye contact they are gangbangers. Fire at will. :roflol:

    He is vague, illogical, and offers no real resolve for the problems these communities are dealing with. Be a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing leader, not an irrational motivational sock puppet.

    When my daughter was a teenager she once complained that she did not like guys staring at her in school. I told her not to dress like a slut unless she wanted to be treated like a slut. She got pissed off but I noticed her skirts got a little longer, her makeup toned down a notch, and her sweaters got baggier. A little common sense goes a long way

    anyway it does not surprise me that the divider in chief is trying to sow more hatred for the police. Once a community (dis)organizer always a community (dis)organizer

    So gang bangers don't wear hoodies? I thought they popularized them... Obama should just keep his mouth shut as if anyone wants to hear ANYTHING he says...

    Sure they do. The thugs wear a thug uniform of a hoodie and baddy pants and too many of the so-called "good kids" want to be identified as a thug and end up getting killed. If the good kids tried to look like good kids instead of punks it would be easy to see the difference.

    You and our idiot president want our cops trained to identify the gang bangers and then what?? Who is going to draw up the" PROFILE" of a gang banger??

    It is a stupid idea and it may be a lie - in that he can't tell the truth.

    Wow.

    I wish I could tell if someone is a criminal just by looking at them.

    Think of all the situations I could prejudge without anyone thinking I was a racist...

    I'd be all like, "No no, I'm not a racist. I have training in these matters."

    And they'd be all, "Oh, dear! Please excuse us for jumping to conclusions!"

    don't disagree, we have to also educate our children about ways certain dress can effect them because of our culture, be it dressing like a thug or a prostitute, ect....

    if someone wears a ballerina dress, they wanna be or are a ballerina (in most cases)

    if someone wears a ghetto thug outfit, they wanna be or are a ghetto thug (in most cases)

    some things one can tell by the way one dresses.. it's why cops wear uniforms

    if you have a gun in your hands for no reason, your a threat.... it's part of the dress.....

    which of the people in these pictures are criminals. I bet Obama could tell you in less than a second

    It should be obvious, well maybe not. Andres Behring Breivik, Jennifer San Marco, and Rodrick Shonte Dantzler are all mass murderers

    Wow. Obama is incredibly clueless and naïve. Maybe he doesn't KNOW that police officers....both black and white.....have to make split-second decisions. How in the heck do they determine the young person's character at that moment???? And is he saying that no gang members EVER wear hoodies? I mean.....Obama is totally out in left field somewhere. He should be forced to ride in a squad car in a city where there's a lot of black crime and actually see and know what the police are faced with each time they go on the job. Unlike Obama.....who has made it his job to "blow smoke" and "pontificate"......these Police Officers protect us and keep order each and every day. In fact, MANY of them are often called upon to protect his butt. He should say, "thank you," and just butt out of something he obviously knows ZERO about.

    Not really. If he ever says something along those lines....it's in a joking manner. What is he REALLY doing about it, though?

    There is truly something wrong in the black community when you have one black man fathering 6 children with 6 different wives and never marrying any of them. But all I see or hear is excuses for it.

    Bottom line is no net gain for blacks in jobs. No noticeable change in the violent sub-culture of black youth. The same race hustling and political correctness.
