Obama: Trayvon Martin ‘could have been me 35 years ago’...(Here we go again!)
Yahoo news ^ | 07/19/13 | Oliver Knox

Posted on 07/19/2013 11:50:37 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

President Barack Obama, breaking his silence on the George Zimmerman acquittal, said Friday that many African-Americans believe that “both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different” if Trayvon Martin had been white. “You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son,” Obama said somberly during a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. “Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” In searingly personal terms, Obama described his personal experience with race-based prejudice. “There are very few African-American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store -- that includes me,” he said.

up to be President - but creepy ass cracker ruined his
dream.

Chris Matthews probably creamed his panties listening to this drivel. Not a single one of these bastards, black or white, give a damn about Martin except his usefulness as a political club.

That’s his way of picking up the pieces from inciting racial hatred when he first spoke of Trayvon.......as usual he just stirs the waters all the more.....perhaps hoping to see more of this to further distract the country from his slight of hand.

YEp...that’s why for the first time white men in an administration now are ‘the minority’ under Obama.

Perfect! Says it all!

I have to admit that I’m fed up with the race baiting.....no more nice-y- nice from me anymore...I’ll be handing it right back at them. If ObOzO wants to put a wedge between the races...I’m ready to comply...sick of all this!

Not to mention the weapon he posted on his tweet site......nor the weed plants he was growing he also posted...nor did they mention Trayvon’s autopsy showed his stomach was showing signs of deterioration over the use of his “Skittles..tea and cough syrup” drug addiction...whatever that stuff was he was concocting to get high.

The One really stepped in it. Sure he’s getting raves from the left, now. But now every time a white kills or injures a black in self defense, the baiters will expect him to make a speech denouncing it. And you can rest assured knowing he will NEVER utter a word about blacks assaulting and killing whites in the ‘knockout game.’

“There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,” Jesse Jackson said several years ago, “than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery—and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

“There are very few African-Americans who haven’t had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off” (From Obama’s speech today)

Actually, we are all nervously clutching our purses and wallets and holding our breathe while Obama is in office.

He called every non-black woman in the country a racist with that comment.

That’s an admission that he’s a thug too, just like Trayvon.

“There are very few African-American men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars.”

>>Tell us about the 13 month old boy, Antonio West who was shot in the face, Obama.<<

DAMN straight! Or how about that elderly couple in OK or AL? Or the young couple Channon and her boyfriend?

Let’s have a discussion about THAT!!!!!


They’re only creepy ass crackers, so they had it coming to them.

It’s part of the poor me narrative — we’re supposed to feel guilty or sorry for them. Let them get their crap together! Get your freakin’ communities straightened out! Fix your crappy family situation! Fix your damned victimhood drugged-out immoral violent blame-everyone-and-everything-else dumbed-down “culture!” Gather up all the good men and women you’ve called Uncle Toms and start listening to them. Run the race baiters out on the rail!! And y’all can do it without any more of my hard-earned money going down the rat hole!

Utterly infuriating!
