Former President Barack Obama, in a virtual town hall hosted by his foundation Wednesday, called on demonstrators to channel their anger over George Floyd's death into an opportunity to make leaders "uncomfortable" and pressure them into making real policy changes.The town hall was hosted by the Obama Foundation's My Brother's Keeper Alliance, which supports young men of color. During the event, Obama said he rejected a debate that emerged in “a little bit of chatter on the internet" about “voting versus protests, politics and participation versus civil disobedience and direct action.”“This is not an either-or. This is a both,” he said. “And to bring about real change,

The best way to make people uncomfortable is to riot pillage burn and destroy everything in your city along with nationwide anarchy. Just to send a message that we will make you uncomfortable. What policy changes exactly would you endorse? We have a policy change in NY so no more bail. Do the crime and do no time and back out you go to do it all over again. Justice for none. Damage to all. Their policy change would be to have no laws at all and no police. Problems arise don't call 911, just call the local social workers and community organizers office for a quick response team to show up at a murder scene. Then they can sign up everyone for welfare food stamps and a driver's license and register to vote by mail. Killers and murderers can simply turn themselves in and be released same day with a promise to appear in court. What a perfect world we would have.

When Obama was in the White House and rioters made HIM "uncomfortable," he labeled them "thugs." If Leftists didn't have double standards they'd have no standards at all.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden had 8 years to bring our country together but squandered that opportunity. During Obama's presidency race relations in this country have manifested into the chaos we are witnessing today. Obama personally stoked fear and hatred against all police so I guess his chickens are coming home to roost as his anti-American pastor liked to say.

Well, Obama sure made a lot of people uncomfortable for 8 years, so he knows all about it.

Democrat politicians are living, breathing, walking, talking embodiments of irony and hypocrisy. Obama WAS the person in power for 8 friggin years while race relations and the conditions of blacks plummeted.

So, Mr Obama, what policy did you put in place that helped race relations? Which one are you most proud of? What positive work can be done to help ?
Right- you want the riots #alinsky #communist

Just can't get the stench of community organizing thug out of his nose! I suggest we give him the Mueller/Russia probe legal bill that we taxpayers should not pay but the punk who thunked it all up! It might shut his flapping mouth for a few moments. The Obama gates are about to break wide open, that's why he wants as much unrest on the streets as possible so that the 'little people' won't hear about it!

Obama was in office for 8 years and did nothing to resolve some issues concerning racism, instead, he used racism as a hammer against opponents because it was expedient. Racism is an overused word that means basically nothing and has lost its definition. The big word now is immoral instead of racism. The used 'it's the economy stupid' until that got old and didn't prove to be true. Then it was 'do it for the children' with a wavering voice. Then it was 'racism' through all of the catchphrases. Rioting has never brought change but the legislation of the state is making knee jerk laws and that is not good. They haven't done any research but they will make law.

And what EXACTLY did Obama do in the 8 years he was in office to make black lives better? N O T H I N G . The Trayvon Martin and MIchael Brown and Freddie Grey riots were just that: RIOTS. And all three died ultimately because they were thugs.

you can't keep a community organizer left idle. he is soiling his underwear because the investigators are getting close to ground zero. barry soetoro/obama will be wiped from the history books when he faces a jury, but he is, after all, a "Constitutional Scholar" at least that's what his forged academic records say. if anyone believes that I have a bridge for sale, prime NY real estate.

Obama urges change with no hope, but what happened his political slogan “Hope and Change”. Remember that - what a joke! Eight years of misery.

Once a community organizer, always a community organizer.
Somehow Obie missed the part in Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals - #7 - that said that allowing a protest to drag on would become a drag.
The same is true of useless presidents who did a bad job and then hang around to make sure everyone remembers just how bad they were...
