A member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Yvette Clarke, said Monday evening that the George Zimmerman acquittal proves one thing: America puts less value on black lives than on white lives.
“The tragic death of our young man, Trayvon Martin, followed by the acquittal of the man who pursued him and killed him, has reminded us that although it may seem as if African-Americans and other minorities have achieved full equality in our civil society, we are still victims of racial profiling in violation of our laws and our morals,” Ms. Clarke said, from the House floor, The Hill reported.
She continued: “The lives of black men and women are not accorded the same value as the lives of white Americans. This is a reality for far too many black Americans.
Ms. Clarke is Democrat from New York.

If you hide behind you victim status, and whine, your chance of success is limited.
If you meet resistance with persistence, your chance for success is infinite.
How long can this go on? It’s all over the internet that Trayvon was a gang banger in training. The MSM is not reporting this, but it’s becoming more known that Trayvon was not a little angel.
When are these people going to get off this. White America owes them NOTHING. NADA.
We fought a long horrible war back in 1861-1865 to free the slaves. A large percentage of white American boys on BOTH sides DIED to free their ancestors.
Since the Civil Rights period, we have had reverse discrimination to benefit primarily Black Americans.
We have a black President and very many successful black Americans - a large number of them recent arrivals from Africa and the West Indies.
So get off it already. Nobody owes you or anyone else anything because of their racial background. Affirmative action should die - it out lived its purpose if it ever had one. “Protected” classes are un-American and unconstitutional.
Maggot.
Gotta be honest here, Yvette, I’m getting to the point where I don’t put any value at all...
It’s all about character content, Yvette. Skin color doesn’t matter in the least. A white boy with his pants halfway down his ass will reap the same, hearty contempt from me as a black boy.

psssst.... Yvette.... ummm... Jorge is a minority too.
I’m so tired of this crap.
It seems that black men put less value on black men’s lives since they are doing most of the killing. We are to blame for that....., HOW?
I’m sick of their $hit and I am sure I’m not the only white person that is sick of their whining.
You can kind of blame liberals, LBJ, the Great Society, and the government schools and their unions. Too bad blacks don’t see who their real enemies are.
Of course. Because Trayvon's life was worth at least as much as Zim's.
Heck. MORE, because he was younger and therefore had more years left.
Why, he was just an innocent little black child, after all.
What time will the Congressional White Caucus rebuttal be broadcast?
Does Sharpton even have a wife?
you are an american indian???
Therefore blacks kill other blacks.
The Black Caucus aka “The African-American Order of the Perpetually Aggrieved and Oppressed.”
I would only ask how the Vietnamese refugees who landed here in 1975, with only a marginal command of the language, managed to succeed, when blacks, with a 400 YEAR head start, can't quite seem to get it...
Call me racist, but did anybody really think that Obama was not going to be every bit the racist that we all thought he was?
“God Damn America” and “Ameri-K-K-K-”
Most of us saw this Black Theology Racist for what he was 6 years ago
No, only @ssholes.
LOL!
