“That is not a protest. It is not a statement. It’s people, a handful of people, taking advantage of a situation for their own purposes — and they need to be treated as criminals,” said the commander in chief. “. . . A handful of criminals and thugs who tore up the place.”
The president, of course, was Barack Obama, talking about rioting that followed the protests over Freddie Gray’s 2015 death in Baltimore. The difference is that Obama faced a fraction of the backlash from the liberal media as Donald Trump did for tweeting the same word to describe the looters: Thugs.
Both presidents were right. A thug is not black or white, a thug is a person who takes the righteous anger over an injustice like George Floyd and burns down an affordable housing complex. A thug is someone who uses a protest to rob Scores Sports Bar in Minneapolis, owned by a black firefighter, KB Balla, who poured every cent he had into the business.
A thug is someone who vandalized a city, causing Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms to plead, “What I see happening on the streets of Atlanta is not Atlanta. This is not a protest. This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr.”

Instead of being proactive and prepared, a lesson thought learned in every mess like it repeated time and again, mayors of cities ravaged by fools doing their wicked work under the guise of protest, wring their hands and watch it all happen over and over, pretending to be surprised by the violence.
Sounds like something that B.O. would say after fueling the destruction to begin with. While holding America hostage for eight failed years. All to draw attention away from inside and out of his cabinet, as he corrupted the entire system. It is time to “just say no” to these damorat thugs while President Donald J. Trump continues four more years of hard work, cleaning up the crap left behind. Trump/Pence 2020 !
The slave masters which are the democrat elected officials have brainwashed African Americans into thinking thug is the new N word. What's amazing is they actually fell for this and believe it. Amazing and also funny that they can be so easily fooled.
One of the black communities main difficulties is they have historically voted stupidly. Overwhelmingly voting for B.O was absolute proof of their stupidity when it comes to this issue. B.O loved nothing more then to get them young black bucks all riled up and on a rampage with his rhetoric. Like his if he had a son with Trayvon and the Cambridge cops acting stupidly.
It's been 70 years now. The blacks aren't going to change. They don't want to work for ANYTHING. They want it Free. Remember we had a City employee who was black?? Got her PhD and insisted to be called doctor. Then you find out she got her PhD in AFRICAN STUDIES. Gee really worked your ass off for that designation. It's a joke just like all the programs and Taxpayers money given to help the poor blacks. ALL THEY KNOW IS GET OVER. ALWAYS PLAYING A HUSSLE. All the money wasted on one race could have done much better else where. After 70 year's of FAILURE. It's obvious.
12:44 If you feel that way about all black people then PLEASE go stand on any corner in any black neighborhood and say that. Don't go to the hood....come to a black working middle class neighborhood and say that. It's best you keep your racist comments to a keyboard because we AREN'T our grandparents.
