You just completely changed your argument. You said he "put the Presidential seal on the Black Lives Matter movement," but I just explained to you that it didn't exist yet.
Well, no I didn't but I could have worded it better. I suppose it's a result of trying to use more descriptive language.
I think his comments provided further justification for people with an extreme view to congeal into a group. My outside observation is they have a history of warping reality to fit their agenda, whipping up a frenzy to justify their existence...and get more donations/funding.
Now you're saying there was a causal link between his statements and its founding which is demonstrably also inaccurate. It was founded in the aftermath of the Zimmerman verdict and subsequent deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner.
I am definitely saying that his remarks courted extremists groups but with a very deft and calculating touch.
I'm not really sure what your introductory section about blaming others is intended to explain or how Hillary has anything to do with anything. I guess you're making an argument that the rhetoric somehow allowed people to target cops, but George Zimmerman wasn't a cop so again i'm not sure of the relationship.
I knew he wasn't a cop. The point of that section was to illuminate that extremists blame whoever can be most conveniently identified, as long as there's even a hint of truth to it, people will go with that.
I'm also certain you're not aware of the relationship between the police and black communities that didn't begin with the recent attention, but has always existed.
How could one not be aware of that? It's part of America's exported culture. The relationship already being what it was, cops and white people in general were/are the easiest, most readily identifiable groups for blm to target. Even someone only vaguely aware of the situation could have predicted how that was bound to spiral into the confusion it is today.
Regarding Trayvon Martin, Obama's point was he was young enough to have been his son and he would have looked the same if he had been. The facts of the case are that Zimmerman should never have approached Martin in the way he did, especially after police ordered him not to, but he did so due to simple, not hard to understand racism.
What I've read causes me to disagree with that interpretation. It would be just as easy to say TM should not have been purchasing the necessary ingredients for a drug concoction he had been texting about earlier. From what I read it was how TM was behaving which attracted suspicion; from what I read, it was later found drugs were still in his system.
You are misreading the lived experience of communities and the intended audience of the President's statements, not to mention completely misconstruing the effects based on your own admitted speculation.
I don't know what you're trying to say with the first part.
Regarding the second part, I disagree with you and I think you're view is skewed by your own biases.
I think we'll probably just keep disagreeing with each other on these points but I'm alright with it.
