I believe these murders of young black men are, in some cases, proxies, for President Obama.

There has long been a dynamic where "uppity" fill-in-the-blank - black men, women, other oppressed groups, must be taught a lesson, to keep them in their place, where they belong. How audacious of them, to think they can compete with, much less displace, the ruling white male power structure.

Why is it going to take the long view of history to appreciate President Obama? How much longer can we really be expected to be patient?
