Obama Met With Ferguson Activists – Said He’s Concerned They “Stay on Course”

President Obama met with Ferguson protest leaders on November 5th, the day after the midterm elections

President Obama met with Ferguson protest leaders on November 5th, the day after the midterm elections. The meeting was not on his daily schedule. He was concerned that the protesters “stay on course.”

What does that mean?

And why is the president meeting with the violent Mike Brown protesters before a verdict is reached in the court case?

The Ferguson protesters have looted over 100 businesses in the St. Louis area.

The New York Times hid this in the 21st paragraph of their report:

But leaders here say that is the nature of a movement that has taken place, in part, on social media and that does not match an earlier-era protest structure where a single, outspoken leader might have led the way. “This is not your momma’s civil rights movement,” said Ashley Yates, a leader of Millennial Activists United. “This is a movement where you have several difference voices, different people. The person in charge is really — the people. But the message from everyone is the same: Stop killing us.”

At times, there has been a split between national civil rights leaders and the younger leaders on the ground here, who see their efforts as more immediate, less passive than an older generation’s. But some here said relations have improved in recent weeks.

The "protesters" are dumb as rocks. Burning down business', beating innocent people because of their skin color, inciting terrorism in their own streets... all for a guy who has been proven to be an animal, and was rightfully put down? Ignorant f-ing people.

This is the mentality when people leech off of the government. No pride of ownership, and zero social skills. They should be arrested and tried as domestic terrorists... but they won't, because of their pigmentation. Meanwhile, white people who protest the government seizing their land, stripping them of their livelihood, are labeled as such, without hesitation.

He met with the leaders, or rebel rousers to make sure they know that rioting, burning, and stealing is ok. He will allow it because the brothers all stick together. After all, Christmas is coming and now is the time to grab those real expensive gifts from stores!

Obama is inciting this unrest. He will do whatever he can to cause division in this Country. He should be arrested for treason.

So, exactly WHAT is the course?
MORE racism? More hatred of whites? More condoning of black violence?
