You don't want to be accused of racism? Then start by erasing that stupid line about welfare out of your signature.
Love the worldview. So, whenever something happens and there is evidence of possible racism involved as a motivating factor, just say "ssssshhhhhhh...we don't want to talk about that."
Outstanding.
No, Democrats usually initiate the subject of racism.
Again, bravo, you can just ignore injustice, you would like to, but ou can't. You would have told Rosa Parks to just sit down in the back and be quiet.
I am not a Democrat, but if racism is evident, I will point it out and try to end it.
It is why you are a racist.

Okay, I'll bite.
You underlined part of this comment... "My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon... thereby setting up the premise that it was the central point in the statement.
I don't see it that way. I see it as a lead-in and the main message is "they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we're going to get to the bottom of what happened."
I also believe that the fact of Obama being half black is going to insure that any statements he makes, similar to the one above, are going to be parsed in some quarters as evidence of stirring up racial issues. If the very same thing had happened under a white president with a white victim, nobody would give it a second thought.

It's people like you who nurture it, with your stereotypical comments about welfare recipients. Dope.

She would have had two strikes against her in bravo's worldview. In addition to being black she was an uppity woman who needed to be kept in her place.
Basketball players wear hoodies, are they gangsters? What exactly is a gangster by your definition? Any black kid wearing a hoodie. Why should wearing a sweatshirt with a hood be an indicator of trouble? Do you become fearful anytime you see someone wearing a hooded sweatshirt?
Oh - no doubt! Bravo would have liked & preferred that...
Absolutely right about that.

Just to throw gas on the fire there are two football boards I read, USC and Ohio State, that also have General Discussion forums where politics are discussed. Just like this board people hold a diverse set of opinions. Here are two very different posts I found this morning on the my son would look like Trayvon statement.
""To me, it seems like a caring leader trying to quell racial discontent and provide solace to the family.""
""We do not know what happened, but does our president have an ego the size of f*cking Rhode Island or what? How can he interject himself, personally, into a tragedy, talking about it like it's his son? Fuc*ing egomanical piece of shit. Saying it's a tragedy is fine. Saying we'll find out what happened and justice will be served is fine. But he would look like my son if I had one? Jesus Christ...The idiot knows no bounds.""

I have a son who wears hoodies, jeans and sneakers because that's the style norm for teens in our area. Geraldo needs his head examined.

Geraldo's a republican, granuloma.

Even his kid's embarrassed by those comments.
Geraldo Rivera’s son Gabriel is “ashamed” of his controversial comments about Trayvon Martin and his hoodie from earlier in the day, the Fox News host admitted to POLITICO.
“Gabriel broke my heart. He’s my oldest, 32, and he just told me that for the first time in his life he’s ashamed of what I wrote on [Fox News Latino],” Rivera said in an email.
My daughters even wear hoodies, jeans and sneakers, this is like saying a woman deserves to be raped because she was wearing a mini skirt or a person can't be trusted because they have a tatoo.
