WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says the head of President Barack Obama's initiative for minority males will attend the funeral of a Baltimore man who died after sustaining serious injuries while in police custody.
Broderick Johnson, the chairman of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force, will represent the administration at Monday's funeral for Freddie Gray. Johnson is also the Cabinet secretary.
Gray is the 25-year-old black man who died a week after an encounter with Baltimore police left him with grave spinal injuries. He is being buried Monday in Baltimore.

Sickening.
ReplyDeleteWhat about ALL the whites killed by cops? No delegation sent to their funerals.
He never sent anyone to the General killed in Afghanistan funeral. This President is a "Racist".
ReplyDeleteIt's the "community organizer" keeping the riots going!
ReplyDeleteObama. As racist as ever
ReplyDeleteFirst you complained when he showed up to a funeral and sent elected officials to a white man's funeral, now he sends elected officials to a black funeral and you are still complaining. Furthermore how can a black person be a racist?? That's like calling a mouse violent because it fought back against the cat. I swear you people are ridiculous....
DeleteThat's a good question.
DeleteHow *can* blacks be racist, when whites have bent over backwards to change the legacy of negative attitudes and prejudice towards blacks?
When blacks are given priority by whites in hiring, college admittance, and government contracts, as a way of temporarily "leveling the playing field", why aren't they grateful, instead of surly and belligerent towards the white man?
When the "system" has been deliberately rigged to allow blacks to "succeed" at everyone else's expense, why indeed are so many blacks unappreciative of the opportunities handed them on a silver platter, and cling to their crude, racist attitudes?
How indeed can they still be racist, when a black president was elected twice, proving there is no longer a racial barrier? What more do they want?
How can blacks still be racist, when white people voted to dismantle Jim Crow laws, and gave them the right to vote, long before American women could? Do they not recognize the struggle my people have gone through *on their behalf* to make equality a reality in every facet of society? How can they be racist, after we brought about social change and truly emancipated the negro? They should be singing our praises.
After so many civil rights advocates, both black and white, over the years have worked to end racism, why do blacks turn a deaf ear to the message themselves? How can they truly feel it's ok to hate someone for the color of their skin, or what they think they represent, after their immediate ancestors fought against such appalling prejudices themselves?
How dare they be racist, when whites have done more for them, than they have ever done for themselves?
Oh please save the vain philosophies for some sap that will eat it up. Everything you said is under whatever the "white man" has allowed, so gtfoh with that bs. Who started Jim Crow laws??? And now you want a pat on the back for "dismantling" them, like you cane and saved the day when it was you who started them anyway. How can the oppressed be racist because they fight back and use the same weapons used against them? You sound stupid. According to the constitution in 2015 a black man is still 3/5ths of a man in good ole Murica. So plz do us all a favor and save the bull. Next....
DeleteSo what you are saying 1:12 is that Barrack Hussein Obama has no power? I'd love to see him fight back...like against the terrorists killing Christians..wussy..

sorry to call names but you are just stupid if you believe what you said.
but being you support obammy, it's no surprise. carry on.
Support your comment with facts not corny clichés you white people use. Saying I sound stupid without anything to back your statement makes you look dumber than me...dummy.
DeleteJoe...please help to educate the public as to what will happen if the country goes to martial law. There are people in Baltimore calling for the military to take over the city. I'm sure they have no idea how that would effect the current sitting political parties. Is it true that everything would freeze? Is it true that the government would not change (there would be no elections) if we go to martial law? I admit...I do not know.
ReplyDelete@1:12 "How can a black person be racists"? It is YOU that is ridiculous...Are you saying only white people can be racist?? Are black people the only people who have racism towards them??
ReplyDeleteI remember the Black Panthers from my youth and believe me they did more harm than good in my humble opinion. If Malik Shabazz is now the president of "Black Lawyers for Justice" and the head of the Black Panthers...isn't that a conflict???
ReplyDeleteThe kenyan king is a coward, a liar and a traitor. WAKE UP AMERICA!!
ReplyDelete1:55, if we are under martial law or at war we will be stuck with the POS in the white house. map
ReplyDeleteI will SAY NOTHING...As it may be best with what I am thinking right now...ENOUGH said. This country has finally came to a end...
ReplyDeleteBaltimore in Martial Law does nothing for the POTUS, either keeping in him power or anything, so that's stupid, 2:55. Also, everyone talks about ONE person who was killed in Afghanistan and why doesn't Obama go after terrorists. Lest we forget 2 things, first, Obama was the first President to actually go AFTER the terrorists (Bin Laden) and not lie to us for a reason to go to war (Bush was going to get the terrorists but was distracted from his Father's fight and oil). Secondly, remember when Jordan went after the terrorists and people were saying the king of Jordan should be President? Remember how that attack killed at LEAST 2 AMERICAN HOSTAGES?! Yeah I guess we forget that because we have too much of a blind eye towards the facts.... Sorry.
ReplyDeletePS I'm a white, middle class guy, not racist and can read facts rather than take opinions as gospel.
this is all part of a bigger agenda be vigilant do not believe any of this crap and keep your ammo dry

promise?
Yeah, and Benghazi was all about a video...
ReplyDelete@ 2:31 and 2:55
ReplyDeleteFunny, I've said Obama haters are THE biggest racists and bigots in American History, and I was right as well, and people with a functioning brain asks the obvious question...How is ANY of this Obama's fault?
Anyone who thinks that being murdered by police (it was officially ruled a homicide) is the same thing as dying at 87 of a stroke or being shot by a mentally ill veteran is truly blind.
If he wanted to destroy America he’s taking his time and doing a lousy job of that too. All leading economic indicators are positive. The only perspective in which he’s doing a bad job is through the crap colored glasses of Fox news.
-Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim and even if he was, doesn’t matter.
-Barack Obama is NOT Anti – American.
-Barack Obama is NOT a Marxist. in fact, one should understand the concept of Marxism before posing such a question.
-Barack Obama is NOT a homosexual. Those making such claims are now grasping at straws.
-Barack Obama is NOT a traitor, though those that continually denigrate and defame the Standing President of The United States have a touch of treason in them.
-Barack Obama is NOT a communist. Again, one must understand the concept before posing such a question.
-Barack Obama could be impeached. Any President could be. But none could be impeached by some pinhead on Sodahead.
-Barack Obama is NOT destroying America. The constant hate and derision is destroying America.
-Barack Obama does NOT hate America. He IS the duly elected President.
-Barack Obama is NOT a dictator. He is the 44th President of the United States of America.
You racists and bigots on the right are utterly pathetic. Going as far to ACTUALLY blame Obama for EVERYTHING wrong in the world. You racists make me sick!!
If Obama had been give 1/2 the chance to govern that either white president had been given we would not be seeing what is going on today. You cannot govern with your hands tied behind your back.
ReplyDelete"If Obama had been give 1/2 the chance to govern that either white president had been given we would not be seeing what is going on today."
ReplyDeleteThink again, pinhead. If Obama were white, he would have been removed from office long ago.
We'll have to watch and see if any cabinet officials attend the NYPD officer's funeral
