Obama: 'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'

[Cancel 2018. 3]

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.

bullshit. if a white president said....hey, i understand your issue better because i would also have a white son....you liberals would shat brix and call him a racist

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.""

So, the first one was from Ohio State and the last one from USC?

Yeah, me too, good thing my favorite hoodie has Canada on it, huh.

So you asked people for their opinions and then when you get them, you call bullshit. Fine. From now on I'll just pay attention to my instincts and ignore your posts.

It always seems that an incident like this has to get to a certain level and be newsworthy, before Al Sharpton and his gang move in to soak up some of the publicity.

They are both high profile figures who peak out against injustice. It isn't any different than Sarah Palin or Dobald Trump moving to the forefront on issues. I am sure you have high profile figures in England.

You don't want to be accused of racism? Then start by erasing that stupid line about welfare out of your signature.

Do you think only blacks are on welfare.....??? Thats mighty white of you......

you pinheads just can't help yourselves can you

 

[Phantasmal]

This kind of incident is just what the lefties live for.....they'll milk this for all its worth and then some.....
by the time its all over, the Hispanic will be lily white, working for rich, Republican whites in a gated community, and demands for the repeal of the Second Amendment right to bear arms will be the talking point on every TV show from Bill Maher to Jay Leno to the View, and beyond.....

AND Sharpton and Jesse haven't even begun to rant and rave, march and riot, or toot and loot.......
Big screen TV's for all.....get ready.
How many times to you have to witness it before it penetrates the liberal skull....

Blah, blah, blah, I hate black people blah ,blah, blah, says bravo.

Conservatives are peaking out on this issues, also, it isn't just liberals.

so i have to agree with your opinion because i asked for it? and i never asked for that opinion. go ahead and run away and be like rana and ignore me. i could care less. it cracks me up how many lefties are too afraid to address my posts.

The attorney hired to represent a neighborhood watch volunteer accused of fatally shooting a black teenager said there was no racial issue involved.

He hasn't listened to the 911 tapes, yet he makes this statement.

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.

Talking about it is good, just like problems the blacks have, and so many times, their own fault.....feeding it is bad....as you liberals do every chance you get.....kinda like Poet did....
