I think ole Larry is like some preachers that take scripture out of context for a sermon to make a point, and assuming no one will know the difference.

From 1997 to 2007 St George had already been convicted 8 times in Texas of drug related crimes.
St George was in the Texas Department of Corrections when Obama was elected.
His (St Georges') crimes were already escalating before Obama was even known politically.

St George has been dead for  awhile now. So if your a conservative you blame Obama, and if your a liberal you blame Trump.

Neither kicked St George into the life of crime he led.

Good read and I’d say true. Of course if a liberal reads it all they will do is scorn the truth and add to the problem. After all. It’s there M.O. Forgot we were discussing Floyd as he would have died of an overdose anyways. IMO...

I say false. The problem goes back way before Obama. It goes back to LBJ incentivizing single motherhood through the welfare state. Keep popping out babies and daddy government will take care of you. I'd be willing to bet St. George didn't have a father in the home growing up.

One of the few actors from Hollyweird whose opinion I respect is Denzel Washington. He says it well in this clip, start at 3:16 for the relevant quotes:

  I wouldn't say Obama caused it, but he did nothing to help the situation IMO.  Yes, LBJ's policies sure helped to destroy the black family unit.

  He fed them a ton of BS...that claimed he was helping them, when all along all he wanted was some cheap votes!

   By the time Bush #41 left office, race relations were going along quite well, andfew there were who wanted to be bigots...stirring things up again.

  Then people mistakenly elected a "community activist" as a president!   What the  &^#+%  did they expect they would get... a nice, peace promoting guy?
