In his U.N. address, President Obama listed a parade of horrors
afflicting our world: “Russian aggression in Europe,” “terrorism in
Syria and Iraq,” rapes and beheadings by ISIL, al-Qaida, Boko Haram.
And, of course, the Ferguson Police Department.
That’s right. The president could not speak of war, terrorism and
genocide without dragging in the incident in a St. Louis suburb where a
white cop shot and killed a black teenager:
“In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern
Europe, the world also took notice of the small American city of
Ferguson, Missouri — where a young man was killed, and a community was
divided.”
What, other than its racial aspect, can explain why Obama is so hung
up on Ferguson? At the Congressional Black Caucus dinner Saturday, he
was back stoking the embers.
