| Obama's Racism for Fun and Profit |

| Ferguson happens a few times every month. More often in the summer when tempers are hot and crowds of bored men and women fill the streets looking for something to do. Teenagers ransack stores. Small cities stretch their budgets in a bad economy to put as many cops as they can on the street. And then somewhere between the open fire hydrants, the stores that do most of their business in EBT cards and lottery tickets, the check cashing places and furniture rental outlets, something happens. And it happens a lot more often than you think. A crowd gathers. Fists rise in the air. The police deploy. The EBT stores, check cashing places and furniture rental outlets roll down their shutters. A tense hour passes before the scene fades away leaving behind a crude graffiti scrawl of a wannabe gangsta and his favorite pit bull, a few faded color photos and some purple candles guttering in the night underneath his portrait. Not the full scale rioting, looting and curfews. That's the sort of thing that doesn't happen on its own. It has to be community organized into being. Fergusons usually happen locally, but when it's convenient then the looting and car stomping go national. The Trayvon Martin case happened in an election year. So did the Michael Brown case. Maybe we can look forward to another Ferguson in 2016 and every two years after that. ...The old community agitators "negotiated" racial tensions with white liberals. The agitators and liberals profited while the working class populations of both races that they exploited lost out. Obama however negotiates these tensions on his own, playing both the agitator and the liberal at the same time. ...The black community has been divided between a small elite that runs things, a shaky middle class clinging to government jobs and a vast army of the poor. ...Obama abandoned the black working class as much as he abandoned the white working class. He used their dreams and left behind broken communities SWEATING through the summer and waiting for the next explosion when another wannabe gangsta gets shot in another swing state. And out of that rioting, the bosses he really represents, the billionaires with a big stake in everything from big banks to subsidized solar power, hope to retain their lucrative grip on the Senate. |

| #9 ...well, 10 million illegals tend to reduce job opportunities in the low skill market (at least those remaining after the load shipped overseas). |

| #7 Not just Soros. The principal movers behind the scenes in the Ferguson race riots were the Black Panthers and ANSWER. |
