    Obama's actions/speech caused the Dallas shooting, so

    Give me proof/facts why this is true or false:

    It's true because, well shoot, everybody knows everything is Obama's fault!

    OK, enough sarcasm. I can't wait to see how this unfolds. :lol:

    Like some noted in the BLM thread that it appears race relations in this country has gotten worse since his election. Some in congress from the beginning have plotted to work against the president in every way and for the most part mission accomplished.

    As for the OP's point there could be some truth to his sentiment. In that with Obama being President not necessarily what he said or has done but just being in office. The deranged shooter may have felt embolden to do something....to somehow make a difference by shooting white officers. Something had to be wrong with this fellow that he couldn't see that killing another human being was the wrong thing to do and the impact that woul follow. How was this ever going to help police officers with their interaction with all communities around the country? To me that shooter has made race relations far worse not necessarily the president but I'm sure some will place blame in his hands. It goes with that job, if Trump wins the election I hope he can handle accusations such as this with some class and grace.

    No proof. Still looking for facts or what he's actually said, not rhetoric or opinion.

    I would like to see the facts or proof as well although what passes for fact nowadays can be very sketchy. I think we need to lay down some kind of baseline for what constitutes as fact.

    In any case, I just don't see where the accusers came up with this one. By they way, who are these accusers any way?

    Wow, those shootings seem to get lost in all that was happening under W. That first shooting was the DC sniper.....his first victim was killed a block from where I worked I sat in the very same bench the woman was killed I was eating ice cream.

    I hope the PJC don't think these kinds of mass shootings will end under the next President whether it's Hillary or Trump. So what does that tell ya it has nothing to do with who's the President.

    yes Obama(his speeches' and comments) have contributed to strained race relations since he's has been elected but also I blame the week minded people who act on what he has said to the public (if I had a son he would look like Trayvon) just because stupid happens to have a leading roll in our society does not mean we should follow him or the moron up-sprouts like Sharpton and Jackson, as president he publicly made statements that gave law enforcement as a whole a bad image and by doing so he gave his weak minded followers a excuse to kill...in their weak minds.

    "Race relations have gotten worse under Obama!"

    Well.....uh.....yeah! Don't things always have to get ugly before they're fixed? Lincoln didn't just say "Umm.....hey southerners, free those slaves" and magically slavery was over. MLK didn't just do one march and segregation was done, no, many black people were killed for protesting and extremist groups like the Black Panthers were formed. Give me one example of race relations in this country improving by white people saying "yeah sure we'll start accepting that." It's really sad that every step we've taken to improve black/white relations in this country has to involve stuff like this happening before there is any real change that gets made. But history shows that, as fucked up as it may sound, all of this might actually be a step in the right direction.

    Those moron up-sprouts, as you call them, have helped more people through hard times in their lifetimes than you would in 10 lifetimes. But, they were mostly black people so I can see why that bothers you.
