Ok, in my estimation, it was during the time of Obama's presidency that the main stream media seemed to begin this campaign of presenting facts in a skewed way. With the attempt to show that whites were gunning for black kids. case in point would be Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Both of those were painted as execution style shootings by the media before any facts were clear.... with total disregard for what would happen in communities around the US when it came to race relations.. from that point things have only gotten much worse. The Obama justice department and Obama himself picking sides before facts came out ....This made racial tensions rise on all sides. It was a complete mishandling of the situation .. now there are even at least twice as many KKK members active in the US because they were made to feel relevant again. as well as other white supremest groups.
I know you don't agree and I don't expect you to. But I believe the guy who was supposed to be the great uniter accomplished just the opposite and we are still in a spiral in some areas.
There's so much wrong here I don't know where to begin.
I guess I'll begin with what my big brother
IM2 said, things are not just the way white people want them or view them to be...it just isn't.
Your entire POV is a white, potentially racist, POV.
The media was sh!te from long before Obama came to being around. From my perspective, I lost faith in the media when they allowed the Bush II Administration to run ROUGHSHOD through them and through the truth, lying to the American public about some fake ass "cloud" and "weapons of mass destruction" and "enhanced integration techniques", it was totally reprehensible. However, something tells me that you were totally cool with it.
So that strikes out your media being responsible argument, because they never have been.
Next, I want to you specify exactly what you're referring to by saying Obama was picking sides. We're going to get to the bottom of this.
It's not about agreeing or not agreeing, it's about what is factual, and what is not, and/or what is opinion.
To put it nicely, your entire post was pure opinion. And not helpful in "uniting."
BTW, why do you say it was Obama's responsibility to "unite Americans?" Who deemed him "the uniter?"
What was he supposed to be uniting them FROM? Please specify that for as well.
Again, we're going to get to the bottom of this.
