Activist And City Schools Exec. DeRay McKesson Meets With President

WASHINGTON (WJZ) — A local activist and top executive in Baltimore City’s public schools, DeRay McKesson was among those who met with President Barack Obama on Wednesday to discuss community policing and criminal justice.

McKesson was arrested Saturday in Baton Rouge. He was one of hundreds protesting after police shot and killed Alton Sterling.


At the White House Wednesday, President Obama expressed both hope for progress and warnings about how difficult it will be.

“Not only are there very real problems but there are still deep divisions about how to solve these problems,” the president said. “There is no doubt that police departments still feel embattled and unjustly accused. And there is no doubt that minority communities, communities of color, still feel like it just takes too long to do what’s right.”

If I get arrested can I get invited to the white house when Trump is living there?

So is he still getting a paycheck while he's doing this race hustle?

No, only while Obama is in office. You must either get arrested, or make a clock to get an invite.

Wow, he's working so hard for the kids in Baltimore! Obama should make him an ambassador or cabinet secretary or at a bare minimum a golfing buddy.

Prediction: He runs for Cardin's office when that palooka retires.
