Ferguson Racist Obama Poke, Is No Joke!

From VOX reporter Jenee Desmond-Harris we have a story about some findings of the Department of Justice germane to Ferguson. It is aptly titled "Here’s the racist Obama joke the DOJ uncovered in its Ferguson investigation". The web link actually is more succinct but not totally telltale, while still being apropos - stating - "ferguson-investigation-obama-joke".

It seems the investigation also uncovered additional disturbing material that suggests a culture of racial bias among those who hold power in the city: according to the Associated Press, the report includes a 2008 message — which appears to be an attempt at humor — from a municipal email account that says President Obama wouldn't be in office long, because

Racism in America is NO Joke! - We still have serious issues of arrested human development - in what they continue to call the great United States of America.

For, we are NOT - truly - United!

what are they feeling when they pull a gun on Joe Blow, a working class POC walking down the street? Scary insight into the mindset of racist authortarians. No wonder they blow away POC without a second thought. Downright frightening.
