I suspect that since they were talking about assassination by a white person[remember this is why Powell's wife was afraid], and the fact that black men have been killed by the police for...showing their wallet, reaching for their id, and the like, she was talkin about police brutality. |

I didn't see the interview but I listened to the TV from the next room. The American people are very peculiar. They are very fickle and choicy and they are always questioning things.
My thoughts on their attire is why were they dressed in jeans? It's not very presidential. But if they had dressed in their Sunday best, then people would say that they are too stuffy.
Regardless of what the wife says, people will find fault, but if she's going to continue to participate in interviews, she needs to be more thoughtful about her phraseology.
Something like "death can come to anyone at anytime" or "life is fragile" would have been better than "as a Black man blah blah blah blah blah" because it's dangerous out here for everyone. And if she doesn't know that then she's out of touch. And if she's out of touch, then he is also.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but Michelle came across as too stern for me, and Barak seemed a tad hen pecked, almost afraid to challenge anything she was saying, just obediently nodding his head. Hummm. |

"White men aren't shot while pulling their wallet our of their pockets blacks men are!"
That's not true. At least not in San Diego. Whites, blacks and Latinos have been shot to death for the most bullshit reasons -most had no weapons of any sort on them when they were killed. In fact, the cops killed a teenager today (and no -he wasn't black!). They said they thought he had a gun in his car. Done deal. The boy is in the morgue as you read this post. And one case that sticks in my mind is the killing of a 23 year old white kid last year. They said he reached for a gun after a minor traffic stop downtown. He got into an argument with the cops. They didn't like that. They said he went for a gun (no weapon was ever found on his person or in the car). So they shot him to death in his car. He's currently buried in the ground. You don't have to be black to be beaten or shot to death by the cops or sheriffs here.

ntfs: of course whites are killed, but I'm speaking of the rule not the exception. There is not a historical tendency for cops to kill white folks, unless it is a predominantly white working class neighborhood. its all a matter of context, and the context of this discussion was the question of whether Michelle was afraid of her husband being killed? And the question was asked in the context of Colin Powell's wife admission that she was afraid her husband would be assassinated. |

Yukio,
I LIKED how matter-of-fact Michelle's response was to the issue of the dangers of Barack's running for the presidency. Because the TRUTH of the matter is Obama's statistically much MORE likely to be killed via going to a local gasoline station or grocer than he is while campaigning and/or being President. |

First of all, I have to openly admit something here. I sometimes tire at this bleating mantra by blacks about cops shooting and killing brothers. Now, when I say this, I'm not supporting nor defending cops who shoot blacks (or anyone else) under questionable conditions. I want to be clear about this. But I don't see blacks wailing and ranting with the same fervor about the staggering statistics of Negroes senselessly murdering other Negroes. In any given year, more blacks are murdered by other blacks in the state of California than all the combined police shootings of blacks in the United States!
The brutal and harsh reality of statistics clearly points to the fact that if you (or any black males you personally know), are murdered -most likely another black person will be the culprit -not a white man or the police. If you are raped or physically assaulted, overwhelming statistical facts show most likely it will be by a black man -not a white man or the police. Given this grim and depressing reality, Negroes (as a group), seem to shrug their shoulders with indifference and apathy. Yet when a policeman shoots or brutally assaults a black man (and once again -I am not defending police brutality or unwarranted shootings), Negroes come pouring out of the wood works in indignation, hysterically proclaiming fear of the police for their sons and young black males while deftly ignoring the ongoing daily body count of black on black homicides. The outrage of an unnecessary murder of an innocent person -regardless of his/her color, is something that should be taken very seriously. But I wish Negroes would show the same level of indignation and rage of black on black murders as they do police shootings of blacks.
As far as Obama being assassinated if he was president by a bitter racist, you can forget that. The days of shooting or assassinating a president as JFK and Regan were, are gone! It is extremely difficult if not impossible to get to the president these days because of the ultra combined efforts of the Secret Service, other federal agencies and local authorities. You would not believe what takes place before the president moves from one spot to another. All those hi-tech drama movies you see about assassinating the president are just that -Hollywood movies! The pontificating of Obama being assassinated because he is a black man stems more from Negro racial paranoia and faux pas conspiracies than actual possibility or reality. As black man, he currently has a greater possibility of getting car jacked or shot to death in a robbery by another black man than he does of getting assassinated if he were elected president.
"And the question was asked in the context of Colin Powell's wife admission that she was afraid her husband would be assassinated."
Why would she worry about him being assassinated? Not saying it's completely impossible but considering the controversy and intense hatred of Bill Clinton and Dubya, no attempts were successful against their lives (so far for Bush). As I said before, the average person has no idea how difficult it is to successfully assassinate the POTUS. Too many fictional novels and Hollywood movies blur the reality. And Colin Powells wife had some issues with treatment for emotional/mental issues before. They (his political adversaries) were gearing up to smear and drag his wife through the broken glass and mud about this. Rather than put his wife through this, he bowed out of seeking presidential candidacy.

Ntfs,
As great as the security is, one can kill a president IF one does NOT mind dying in the process. |
