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.

He could have been trayvon , if trayon was looking for gay sex and he was on the way to the commies house for lessens .
I agree that it would have saved us a lot of grief.
saved America a lot of grief... yup! it would! (on the other hand we might now have President Sharpton)
I don’t really hate Trayvon, but he was responsible for getting himself shot for handling life the way he did, and if George Zimmerman did anything wrong it was in ignorance.
Smoking weed,
Drinking lean,

Never used his bean,
Forever foolery!

Isn’t that Profiling??
“These $%*&^ punks always get away with it.”
The thing most interesting to me is what is not being said. Nobody acknowledges that Trayvon assaulted Zimmerman that evening, turning a non incident into a felony.
I believe that blacks think they have the right to beat up anyone they want at anytime for their past and imagined grievances without the slightest repercussions.
None of these race baiters will admit that St. skittles was trying to bash George’s head open on a sidewalk that evening for asking him what he was doing in that neighborhood.
And do you know why? Well, the current posotus just told us. They have been followed for a long time and now feel justified rationalizing responding to this with violence.
>>it’s the demonic punking of that segment of society, a society that (in both black and white colors) has largely forgotten that divine salvation is not just a nicety but a necessity.<<
Amen HiTech, amen. (gonna steal the phrase “demonic punking.”)
you’re welcome... it really is one big punk job that the devil has done in the loving God’s face ever since the devil stopped being a righteous angel. sinning people can be reconciled to God. evil angels can’t. but even yet the damage of the devil is circumscribed by God; he is in “bonds.”
Psalms 94:3-4 (KJV)
Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Psalms 94:5-8 (KJV)
They break in pieces thy people, O Lord,
and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see,
neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people:
and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Psalms 94:22-23 (KJV)
But the Lord is my defence;
and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity,
and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
If you have spent any time in Hawaii, you know, it is as far away from the racism of the Old South or any other bastion of bad race relations as is Mars. White people are openly referred to as ha-oles (sounds like howlee). But being interracial in 1978 Hawaii, and a member of the elite, can hardly be described as being "down for the struggle."
Chocolate mint, or chip?
Now, before ending, here is an irony: Obama has more in common with George Zimmerman than Trayvon Martin. Both Zimmerman and Obama, have or had one white parent.
By the way talk is if another kids black or white tries what Travon did to George Zimmerman there will be lots more dead thugs, people are not taking it any more..When all decent people own and learn to use a gun then we might take our country back from the thugs that are beating and raping our people..
35 years..
