Dr. Keith Ablow: Thanks for finally speaking out about Black on white violence, Mr. Obama but...

The racial divide fanned by Barack Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder has a new highlight reel, courtesy of four black adults in Chicago who allegedly held hostage a white man with special needs and humiliated, beat, slashed him, while screaming slurs about white people and Donald Trump. The video of their alleged crimes was streamed live on Facebook.

Not everyone, of course, will agree that the President should be held to account for this hate crime, and the President did condemn it. But I think that when the President of the United States and former Attorney General repeatedly accused police officers (who were merely doing their jobs) of racial prejudice and when he failed to strongly condemn riots in Baltimore and elsewhere he set the stage for acts of perceived retribution by violent minority individuals.

No President of the United States in recent history has ever shown more of an inclination to look the other way when cities burn, police officers are killed or, for that matter, when terrorists commit crimes against our nation (and are then set free by him from Guantanamo Bay). Because no President in recent history seems to have been gripped by such deep conviction that America—and, particularly, white America has so much about which to be ashamed and so much payback coming.

The truth is that terrible crimes against black people have been committed by white criminals. But the President’s psychological stance, on public display, has made equality look like the freedom for minorities to be hateful to other races, too. And that profound tragedy, as I see it, is Barack Obama’s legacy, more than anything else.

An astute assessment of Obama, the liberal elite and MSM. In fact, most of the retorts you will see from liberals on this issue will use the theme of: " this has been going on for blacks for 100 years" or "now you know what it's like", which shows the thinking from the top down. When Obama goes to a thugs funeral and not to a 4 star general, it's transparent.
