President Obama’s Remarks On Dallas Shooting Just ‘Too Black’ For Fox News
Fox News anchor Leland Vittert’s nit-picking “analysis” of President Obama’s remarks about Dallas, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile proved only that Vittert is the one with the racial chip on his shoulder.
Fox has spent the hours since the horrible shootings of 12 Dallas police officers blaming President Obama, accusing him of stoking tensions between the black community and police and criticizing him for not supporting the police.
But now, President Obama has decided to cut short his trip to Europe in order to visit Dallas, Texas in the wake of the horrific police murders and spend the week working on solutions to the racial and police tensions raised this past week.
Furthermore, in a press conference in Warsaw today, President Obama was unequivocal in his support for police as well as the African American community. From The Washington Post report on Obama's press conference:
The president said he planned to convene a White House meeting in coming days with police officers, community and civil rights activists and others to talk about next steps. He said the “empathy and understanding” that Americans have shown in responding to the events of the past few days, including Dallas police officers even as they came under attack, had given him hope.
