Real Hope and Change: Black Youth Blasts Obama over Charleston Shooting

In a YouTube Vlog posted earlier this week, Georgia youth CJ Pearson excoriated President Barack Obama for politicizing the Charleston, South Carolina massacre. What stands out about this Vlog blast? Pearson is a young, African-American conservative. In what represents the Democrat Party's weakening grip on the young and black vote, Pearson lays out in succinct detail his disgust with Obama's lack of knowledge or principle on individual rights and the proper role of the state to protect citizens from deranged marauders.

Pearson has turned heads before, when he released a video questioning whether President Obama actually loves America. This time, before criticizing the President, Pearson offered his condolences and invited his audience to pray for the victims' families and the city of Charleston. President Obama, following his former chief of staff's lurid advice, never lets a crisis go to waste, even if it means taking advantage of people in a delicate, difficult position. Pearson has one word to describe this brazen manipulation: That is pathetic. Well put. Succinct and on point. A charge of malevolence would be too dignified for the pettiness of President Obama. Progressives in Washington are also growing tired of the current chief executive, who is interested in playing golf or furbishing up a small legacy in a corrupt city. Pearson calls out the President’s weakness, which do not live up to any presidential aspirations.

Sad that we have a President who is so egotistical and so self-righteous

And you're going to sit there, and you're going to walk up to the podium and talk about how the Second Amendment doesn't matter? Pearson's voice rises, angry at a President who talks about a unique tragedy and turns it into a baseless attack on one of our country's basic freedoms. More Americans need to get angry like this young man. And how you have a solution to this, by taking their guns away? There is no more glaring example of "blaming the victim" than the gun control argument. Innocent people get killed by a deranged gun man. The answer? Take away their sure-fire means of protecting themselves. Unbelievable, or as Pearson would say, "pathetic". Pearson then acknowledges that after the 2012 Sandy Hook shootings, he was afraid of getting killed on school property. What allayed this young man's fears? That there was an armed guard ready to do whatever it took to save my life, who was willing to die trying. Because unlike you, President Obama, I realize that criminals don't abide by the law. It's one of the reasons they're criminals. Bingo. Not only does Pearson lay out basic realities about this fallen world, but he accurately depicts how foolish the President and his progressive agenda really are. The discussion about safety in the face of gun violence must focus on more than what causes assailants to commit these terrible crimes. For those law-abiding citizens, they need an immediate and reliable recourse to protect themselves in the event of such atrocities. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Stupid people kill people. How many times has this refrain abounded in gun control debates? What makes this statement particularly refreshing, however, is that a young, black male from the South is declaring this self-evident fact. Pearson possesses a firm grasp of history, logic, and evidence while making the concrete argument against gun control. More conservatives need to adopt his courage as well as force of mind to combat the ongoing gun control agenda. Whatever hopes that the Democratic Party had of holding onto the black, youth, or the black youth vote seem to be vanishing faster every day. Your presidency has been pathetic, and this is one testimony to it.. .That's something that I won't tolerate. That's something I won't stand for. And that's something I expect more from the leader of the free world. Americans across this country, including this articulate young man, now accept that President Obama is not a leader, or that he has no intention of leading a free world. His agenda has been a big government legacy of limiting the cause and character of the individual at the expense of the state, and using every crisis to justify the seizure of power and authority from the states and the people. And it's sad that we have a President who is so egotistical and so self-righteous. Absolutely, on both points. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make that he gets what he wants done, but not give closure to the families of so many who have lost a loved one. These families will never be the same ever again. And I can't even think of enough words to give them enough closure, to give them enough hope. Hope, and change. Weren't those the two things that President Obama was determined to provide to this country? Instead there is despair, disappointment and stagnation. Pathetic, indeed. Pearson returns to the plight of the families who have lost loved ones. They need to be comforted, they need to be reminded that there will be justice for them, that the President and staff respect their pain. It's sad that we have situations like these, but I guess it's one of those bad things about life, isn't it? My thoughts are with all the people who have been affected by this tragedy God bless America, and God bless the people of Charleston, South Carolina. Today, our thoughts need to be focused first on the people and the city of Charleston. Our thoughts should also turn to young Americans like CJ Pearson, individuals who are proud of their country, who are not afraid to fault President Obama, the hope and change we have been waiting for.
