Obama Denies Black Communities Are In Worst Shape Ever

The most recent turbulence has erupted in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, a black man, by a black police officer.

The timing of Trump’s comments underscored that tension: as he spoke, protesters clashed with police in Charlotte over an officer’s killing of a man, and two other cities, Tulsa and Columbus, remained on edge over similar incidents.

“I will stop the drugs from flowing into our country and poisoning our youth and many other people”, he said during an appearance at an energy conference in Pittsburgh.

He added that police need to be trained better than they are now and held responsible for any wrongdoing. I don’t think he’s trying to appeal to African-Americans at all. Obama wants his supporters to see anything less than a vote for Clinton as a sign of disrespect to the nation’s first black president. “But there is a right way of doing it and a wrong way of doing it”. “Then I think it’s important for all of us to say, ‘We want to get this right”.

With thunder in his voice, the President said to repeated applause, “There’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter!”

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is getting a jump on fact-checking Donald Trump’s debate performance.

He made his comments to ABC’s Robin Roberts in an interview inside the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in advance of its formal opening this weekend.

And just this week, we learned that past year, across every race and age group in America, incomes rose and poverty fell.

She needs to pivot quickly from any topics that rhyme with Schmenghazi. Although President Obama restricted the distribution of military grade hardware to police departments nationwide past year, administration officials recently agreed to revisit the ban, presumably with a view toward modifying or lifting it.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has praised aggressive police tactics and condemned attacks on officers amid criticism of his plan to use “stop-and-frisk ” tactics to reduce crime, in a speech following a second night of unrest that shook Charlotte, North Carolina. “Jim Crow wasn’t good for black people. Now, we had a very good mayor, but New York City was incredible, the way that worked, so I think that could be one step you could do”.

“We have a history of racial disparity and we are working very hard in our city to bridge that gap”, she said. He said he was “troubled” by the shooting of the unarmed motorist in Tulsa, and he delivered a speech that was, in the prepared text, balanced: “We all have to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes”. Kaine said Trump’s history of name-calling will likely be on display during Monday’s first presidential debate.

“We were an outgrowth of Frederick Douglass and white abolitionists who partnered with him”, he said.

Together, we fought our way back from the worst recession in 80 years, turned an economy that was in free fall. “Of all races. Young people idealistically coming down here and being willing to challenge an unjust system”.

Students in Central Pennsylvania are not excited for Clinton, with one describing the Democratic nominee as “slimy”.

“I’ve gotten to know Hillary and seen her work and seen her in tough times and in good times”. “I mean, it’s a bad thing that we’re witnessing”. “I only studied one thing and that’s how to win-but, I can tell you one thing for damned sure-I know how to win and he’s going to be the best victor we’ve had in a long, long time”. During a campaign stop last week at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, Mrs. Obama shared her own frustration about voters who can’t seem to muster the same enthusiasm for Clinton as they did for her husband.

You might feel like you’re being patted down, but don’t worry, that’s just part of the outreach.
