    ....and another question - where the hell is Obama? He could play such a strong role in the black community to advocate against criminal actions such as violence and looting, yet he stays silent on it? Atrocious leadership, but nothing new for him, given how poorly he managed similar situations back when he was President.

    So you are more concerned about what a former president is not doing rather than what Trump is? Surely a guy of your intellect would see the big picture.

    Trump is doing a fine job here - he's bringing in the national guard after liberal leadership has totally failed in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

    Obama, as a leading black voice in America, has a unique opportunity to display leadership, but he's said nothing about stopping violence. He did the same pitiful leadership act when he was president and we faced situations like Trayvon Martin, where Obama ended up looking like a fool (Trayvon just wanted to eat his skittles!).

    Words by Obama or some famous rapper won't stop this.

    Ours is a world governed by the believable threat of force.

    Seems like it's not even about race any more. It's a class war - the wealthy v the masses

    It's just people doing stupid things. Mad because they're mad. They don't know what they're mad about.

    A white store owner was just viciously beaten to death by a mob of blacks in Dallas.

    this is savagery. Pure thugs, no other words.

    It didn't appear to be all black people.


    And I don't think the guy is dead. Just saw a picture of him sitting being attended to.....with some black folks standing there making sure the situation is okay.

    Get your facts straight.

    Oh thanks for the valuable correction. Let the record state that the man was murdered by a huge number of blacks and maybe a few other non blacks. Certainly wouldn’t want to not be politically correct.

    Was he murdered?


    I realize you're angry.


    So am I.


    But your racism is showing.

    my post wasn’t racist in any way. Quit tossing the race card like it’s nothing. Watch the damn video. It’s disgusting.

    Well thank God if the man didn’t die. The twitter post I saw said he died. It was a vicious beating and he easily could have died. Still pure thuggery and will in no way help any racial healing in America.

    I watched the video many times, and it is sickening. I hope the guy didn't die. Like I said, I saw a video of him sitting upright. Head injuries do some funny things though, so I hope he is alright.

    Sorry that I threw around the race card. I apologize, but immediately pointing out skin color while then calling people thugs and savages (which that group of people are) also does not do much to further togetherness either.

    Peace be with everyone, including you @bigtexxx .

    LOL Okay Barr. Problem is that you have no credibility to 60% of the country as you have shown yourself as a w**** to President Trump at the expense of the law.
