SAN DIEGO — Hours after President Barack Obama delivered remarks about Trayvon Martin and the George Zimmerman trial, Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson addressed the racially charged case at Comic-Con in San Diego.

---snip---

I think that's what really makes it universal in the fact that we know that there's race involved, but to see all races coming together and saying that hey, there's something wrong," Foxx said. "There's something wrong when a 17-year-old child is on his way home and someone with a gun pursues him and he ends up losing his life."

Foxx said Martin's case was part of an "epidemic" of gun violence in the US.....

Are they going to ask EVERY black person with one iota of celebrity their take on this trial?

Mr. Foxx, evidence Zimmerman pursued Trayvon? None. The crowd of lemmings keeps rolling THE ASSUMPTION that after 911 call Zimmerman followed Trayvon. No one knows what happened with two knuckleheads on dark rainy night. But what we do know is righteous self-defense was applied. What a sad sorry state of fools to base conclusions on assumptions and to create martyrs or heros out of your own concoctions of b.s. Yet, no such concern for hundreds of blacks killed in Chicago like innocent 6 year olds, hypocritical bigots.

Meanwhile, Jamie Foxx lives in a rich white neighborhood..if a Trayvon type individual was in front of his house he would send his armed guards to take care of him

If they hold a seance with Louis Armstrong, I want to know.

Please ping me for that.

“...that we know that there’s race involved..”

Only to those kool-aiders like yourself Foxx who listen to race baiting drama inducing propaganda ministry of kool-aid and “representatives”, like your phony usurping boy the fraud Zero, both of which are illegitimate. Suddenly a black kid’s death is tragic when a “white hispanice” is involved despite the chaos of cities like Gary, IN. Figures Foxx has to run his mouth in a walking sideshow fashion next to the Buck Roger’s booth.

If this hadn’t happened, within a year no one would know Trayvon’s name anyway - he would be trading that name for a number. That was the road this poor, “innocent” child was traveling.

Race is only involved in this matter to those who are racists, and Jamie Foxx and Samuel Jackson are two well known racists.

These two mouths need to be re educated on the events skewed by OBAMA’s (the original race baiter) medias. A great starting point are the following two videos....

The first one, is GREAT
Bill Whittle’s take on the Trayvon Martin thing

and, then a someone who makes some excellent points as well

A few years ago a tour bus driver in New Orleans pointed out the store where Mr. Armstrong hung out as a child and told us that “Louis Armstrong changed all your lives” or words to that effect. You get three guesses what the driver looked like.

Why has the narrative been so focused on exactly did NOT happen, and no one seems inclined to correct that public impression? First of all, Trayvor Martin was no mere child.

George Zimmerman was carrying a loaded weapon. No dispute. But the weapon was NOT drawn and in his hand as Trayvon approached Zimmerman. In fact, if there was any stalking, it was Trayvon Martin who was the stalker, and approached Zimmerman from behind.

Now while Trayvon has a perfect right to swing his arms, his freedom of motion ends when the fist on that swinging arm connects with another’s nose. A whole new set of responses is in order, and the most logical is for the person whose nose has been struck by that fist to go into some kind of defensive mode. It so happened that “defensive mode” turned out to be flat on one’s back, getting pummeled about the face and head, and left groping for some means to ward off further bodily damage.

Ah, take the grip on the loaded pistol, snap off the safety, point in general direction of the assailant, and the course of events in the next few seconds leads to the end of the punching and hammering.

Easy peasy solution to what had been a very bad situation for George Zimmerman, and the author of that bad situation was now properly persuaded to stop, primarily by getting dead very fast.

I still don’t see a problem.

How many of them actually WATCHED the trial? Neither? Then STFU. I am so sick and tired of people speaking out when they know nothing of the facts.
