DEAD heat for the national election.
Negatives Trump 17%
Clinton 16%
With this being a whole new exec. election without an incumbent, this is going to be very interesting.
Also, big repub donors that gave $90 million in the last pres. election cycle, refuse to throw in behind Trump.
HOPE ?

Black voters....always the news cycle.

What about white voters?

Do they not deserve coverage?

White lives matter. Jewish lives matter. Latino lives matter. LGBTQ lives matter.

Sorry....I'm confused....I thought every life mattered.

(Ridiculous me).

Why is it always (some group) matters.......................more?

Why don't we all matter?

Why doesn't "US" (we) matter?

Why the FUCK are we always concerned about some group....[b]who wants to tear themselves (and their neighborhoods) apart....why do THEY matter?

Why don't......we.....matter?

Why don't we start focusing on US.....we....the collective....."all of us"....instead of.....

You.

Them.

The other guy.

How about.....

Us.

The whole of us?

The best comments I've seen on "Black Lives Matter" are the columns pointing out that the correct meaning has Always been, "Black Lives Matter TOO!" America has Never valued all lives. It's always valued Police lives, soldiers lives, White lives. Witness the mass response to 9/11 and all preceding mass White deaths and wars. And that black lynchings were public sport into WWII. Today's news from Oakland shows that black lives still are less than the lives of pets to many in the LEO forces of America. And this isn't in the deep South.
All Lives Don't matter in America, and never have. Black Lives Matter Too is the appropriate and needed response. LBGT and every other minority lives should matter just as much. They don't now, and America isn't living up to it's dream, it's potential or it's propaganda until they do.

Obama has always fan the flames. I see so many black people in successful positions now, the goal should be to focus on all the troubled black neighbourhood and how to help their children stay out of drugs and violence and do well in school and building a better future.

Not fan the flames about all the police brutality and racism stuffs. I mean, the police force is not majority white policemen right? Perhaps that may also depend white state or black state.

Personally, I think Obama doesn't understand how to enforce racial integration and cohesiveness. When he speaks, he only speaks for black people which makes other races feel, his just a black President for black people. Even Latinos and Asians will feel excluded.

I tell you IF Bush can speak out for Muslims and defend them on right after 9/11. A right wing racist person can do that? For the better good of the whole country, because he understands cohesiveness and keeping the country united is required to deal with such threat.

Obama should have spoke out for white people and tell all the blacks to calm down and that not all white people are like that. But he join the bandwagon to lynch the white people.
