This times 1000.
There is a reason that white people don't riot and cause trouble when one of them gets killed by police.
It is because there is a long history of whites discriminating against blacks.
It is because the whites are a majority with overwhelming majority of the wealth and power in this country.
It is because there are discoveries of flat out racism among white officers in places like Ferguson.
So there is no need for Obama to try and calm the fears of the whites when they don't really have a fear of the criminal justice system in the first place.
Obama has made points of telling people they must respect the law and the decisions of the courts like the Gran Jury in Ferguson. He has spoken out many times against the rioters that are causing trouble among the peaceful protesters. He has spoken out in support of law officers. But even when people are given direct quotes they either say he didn't mean it or else they go back to attacking what he has not done.
