Why BLM and other groups like it exist.

It's ironic the BLM movement is even here given the fact we have a Black POTUS. My thought is that there are a bunch of black folks out there that thought Obama would be their savior and he would deliver them from there challenged lives. In reality 7 years later they are worse off, unless getting more govt assistance is a positive thing!

IMO if BLM movement really cared about black lives they would start at the root of the problem. Things like education and mentorship. Maybe blacks wouldn't be killing each other like they are now. But no they can't address the biggest perp of their race, people of their own race! Makes no sense.

Uh... remember THIS gem? Certainly not everyone was so gullible, but you may be surprised at how many people were.

It's no accident that race relations have taken a hit over the past several years. It's not that Obama is particularly a racist or anything, he was/is just smart enough to know that he can basically get away with murder (more specifically failed, failing and dreadful policies all around), as long as he keeps throwing the race card around.

Yet, If Kanya West had made the same statement, It would have become a movement!

Yep! I wonder how that actually worked out for her?
