“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,” Obama said. “And 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. That happens to me, at least before I was a senator.”
SO, what exactly is the alternative Mr. President. In the face of crime stats that say that black men are more likely to commit violent crime, we should leave the doors unlocked, and act like there isn’t a bigger threat to steal? Women shouldn’t be more nervous, and maybe set those purses on the ground?
Now sure, that will make it more likely based on store statistics that the Store will get robbed blind and lose money, that the motorist will get carjacked, or that the woman will get her purse stolen or raped, but those people can all go to bed, be it at home, the hospital or the morgue at night with a smile on their faces under a big neon sign that says “NOT RACIST”.
Bullcrap. Sorry, but I’m not going to stick my head in the sand like some kind of damned ostrich and pretend like there isn’t a bigger threat there. You bet your ass I’m going to tell my daughter to be more cautious in those situations, and lock my door whenever I feel threatened. Unlike you, I dont get to live in fantasyland...I live in a country where the reality is that black american culture is violent, and embraces violent hip hop culture.
Can we have a do-over????
.... The problem with all of this race bating is that the Race Industry has been hiding and covering up any positive information attesting to the real character of Mr. George Zimmerman as opposed by the media fabricated one. The more information that gets out there that makes it to the vacant brains of the so called Low Information useless idiot public out there, the better chance that this incident will be subdued .... because ... let's face it ...... they picked the wrong guy to brand a Rabid Racist!!!
There absolutely needs to be a concerted effort to get the information out to the public even if it means spending a few advertising dollars to do so. There needs to be articles and perhaps viral videos and news specials made that tell the actual truth about Zimmerman!!!
..... For instance, unlike the vapid empty headed braindeads out there ... we all know that Zimmerman mentored under privileged black youth and was involved in the community ..... But, Did you all know .... that the evil George Zimmerman forced the investigation, arrest and discipline of a police Lieutenant's son who beat up a black youth ....... How much does America really know about George Zimmerman?
He just can’t help being an a-hole, can he... he’s just got to interject himself into a case that’s already been settled.
What an insufferable douchebag...
“Trayvon Martin could have been me, 35 years ago.”
Yeah. Just think. *sigh*
This comment was a GIGANTIC mistake.
For any President, let alone the petulant Obama, to align himself with a court case — especially AFTER a jury has decided it — not only demeans the presidency, it reinforces the idea that this is a single-issue guy, and that issue is race. Not smart “optics”.
Here’s an e-mail from a friend who doesn’t training for cops and is a range master for classes for retired cops.

Martin was a criminal. He was protected from more than one criminal charge by a crooked chief of school district police that ordered the hiding of crimes by juveniles. This jerk was actually “decorated” for “lowering the incidents of juvenile crime”. Martin was a drug user and dealer and was dealing to other students. He was also selling stolen property including jewelry. If he had been in juvenile hall where he should have been, he would not have gotten shot. Martin has posted pictures which boast of gang attachments.
He was not walking through that community because he was taking a “short cut”. He was looking for more stuff to steal in a community that had already been heavily victimized. The hood was to disguise his face. It was raining. You do not wear a sopping wet cotton hoody for very long for any legitimate purpose.
Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle when Martin came up from behind. And Martin was supposedly “frightened”? I am sure he was hoping to sucker punch Zimmerman while his back was turned.
Martin saw the gun and tried to get it...........and he got shot.
In last known pictures, Martin is taller than all the adults around him.
These two parents are washouts. So neither divorced mom nor dad could take care of Martin or his younger sibling?!?!? They were parked at the dad’s “fiance’s house” !?!?!?!?
There have been quite a few shootings of white people by black people since the incident with Martin. And these shootings were murder from the start. Gee, where is the outrage?!?!?
There have been MANY, MANY, MANY shootings, stabbings, and beatings of Black people by Black people since the Martin incident. Ninety seven percent of Black victims are caused by Black criminals. Gee, where is the outrage?!?!?!?
In Victorville yesterday, we had “protests” that involved jumping on cars and stomping out windows. Both my son and daughter in law were called on duty. 17 arrests.
The LAPD guys I know are absolutely ticked at their supervisors for letting things go too long. In once case, an Lt. in command proved he was an absolute political gumbie coward.
Of course, that is exactly why the Rodney King riots took off from a specific corner in LA. One yellow Lt. in so called “command”. Every guy I know on LAPD is talking about transferring to other departments, and all of them Sheriff’s Dept’s. Oh, except LASO. Two have already put their papers in.
I have been incredibly busy teaching cops and more and more citizens for the past 3 years. And now it is even picking up more.
The real bottom line is this country is going to be the United States of Shanty Town Detroit and will be in total civil unrest if we let this piece of garbage stay in office.
By the way. If you are not a fed and are a peace officer or are retired, this government is afraid of you. If you are, or have been a peace officer AND in the military, they are terrified of you. My son has worked on cross sworn teams with the US marshalls and the FBI. He has found two US marshalls in the last three years that he “thinks” he can trust. One guy I know who was workig for DHS quit after four years and went to work for a state LE agency. He said he was sick and tired of the immense corruption in the DHS.
Really, so tell us then, who did you commit felony assault against 20 years ago??? Inquiring minds want to know.
If you are not a member of a protected class established by this administration, you could be George Zimmerman, and be railroaded by the current mob-justice system.
Obama could also say: “Thirty years ago I could have been Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, or George Thomas.”
The above are the names of the three black males involved in the January 2007 torture-murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Horror!
If only there had been a George Zimmerman, too.
Was Obama beating up “crackers” 35 years ago?
If not then any comparison is silly.
From his lips to God’s ears.
Save us from insanity.
About thirty-five years ago, Obama was a snot-nose rich kid in the most elite private school in Hawaii — Punahou. How stupid does he think we are? He’s scrubbed his birth info, but his high school info still exists.
