Black Caucus member: America treats blacks inferior to whites

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.

They can never blame others enough for their own failures can they?

So, Zimmerman was just supposed to lay there and let Trayvon bash his brains out?

They all sing the same tune.

They never tire of it.

Bring on the crying towel another black is speaking.

"The lives of black men and women are not accorded the same value as the lives of white Americans and it is all our own fault because we ourselves do not value the lives of black men and women."

Clarke is a ditzy bimbo. She talks like people like Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Kanye West and millions of others don’t exist. Yo Yvette! If Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out. Knock off the race pimping!

Obviously. We have a black security guard and I won’t treat him like one of the production guys for a movie. He’s a security guard.

The big media (BM) ignores murders of whites if they’re committed by blacks so I’d say BM puts less value on whites.

Actually it means blacks put MUCH less value on black-on-black homicides versus “white hispanic”-on-black homicides.

Blacks don’t value Blacks. Take a look at the abortion rate of Blacks and the murder of Blacks by other Blacks.

It is society on the road to self-extinction.

Can’t blame whitey for that.

Part of the commie playbook is to up the volume and double down on the lie when you are caught. Fact is, conservative hetero white people are America’s new jews. Blacks are over represented in government and civil service jobs, and favored through race quotas at all levels of the public and private sector.

Exactly! Trayvon didn’t want to kill Zimmerman, just give him a small payback for 400 years of colonialist domination and emasculation at the hands of the white capitalist oppressor class! /sarcasm

They need to get over themselves. The whole nation is falling apart and all they can do is bellyache about a non-issue.
