Addressing a press conference this evening, President Obama while reacting to the civil unrest in Ferguson surprisingly said there are black men who commit crimes. I dont really understand what he means by this cos I know both black and white people commit crimes in the US and other places. So why single out the black people?

Go and ask the black men he is referring to, we are Nigerian Black men on this thread

He wants to appease his white Bosses.

what Obama is trying to say is that only black's commit crimes in the US, the whites are the saints. Their is no race that don't commit crime weather black or white. Am disappointed at Obama over this speech.

OP if I'm to guess your age, I would say 16. If you're older you would not have read such meaning into this statement. People like you take offense for the most flimsy reason

A lot of White owned businesses have been affected by the riot. He's probably just trying to cool them off.

whatever that means.
