Church Leader: Like Trayvon Martin, Obama Probably Was 'Profiled'

By Ian Duncan March 23, 2012 Reporting from Washington — At a White House summit, Atty. Gen. Eric Holder assured African American church leaders that he was conducting a thorough investigation of the shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida.

But one of the leaders present said concerns remained about the killing and the local and federal investigations.

“This is a horrifically challenging, despicable situation and felt much more so for the laissez-faire attitude of the powers that be in that community,” said Bishop Donald Hilliard, speaking by phone during a break in the meeting. “After a while one gets tired of the same old script being played out again and again.”

Hilliard is the leader the Covenant Ecumenical Fellowship and Cathedral Assemblies, a church organization based in New Jersey.

Referring to recent hate-crime guilty pleas of three men in connection with a murder in Mississippi, Hilliard portrayed Martin’s case as another in a string of racially motivated killings.

Hilliard said he was unsure if the federal investigation into the shooting of Martin would be successful.

“Let’s just say I’m hopeful that justice will prevail,” he said. “I pray to God that this time justice will prevail.”

“Someday the slaves will get weary of the Democratic Party Plantation and their Soviet Communist Boss.”

And: “Someday, my Prince will come”

And it will happen: “Somewhere over the Rainbow”.

Yes, the pun is intentional.

Just some wild and crazy kids havin’ a good time.

Nothing to see here.

I hadn’t ever heard about or read your case.

Now I have two horror stories I can’t get out of my head.

I stopped going shopping alone after dark at the local Walmart strip mall because the [former] McMansions right behind it were turned into Section 8 housing after the previous buyers lost their homes after the crash.

The place is crawling with roving bands of hyenas and the lack of proper lot lighting has made it a popular place for robberies and ‘van snatches’.

It’s really weird to worry that you might be robbed, raped or worse by somebody who has a great room with vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers.

I read the whole minute-by-minute testimony back when it happened.

I still can’t get it out of my head and sure don’t want to read it again.

Thanks for the link, though.
Others may not be aware.

Are those maggots still sucking air?

Feeling a tad bit distrusting of America are we? Did the
Colonists all rally around Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty—or the Committee of Correspondence. OR did they prefer to remain in the supine until “the war is actually begun”?IMO
Patrick Henry was preaching to the choir-knowing full well his
words would be published and debated and those comfortable in “being bound hand and foot” would be at last moved off the beggars bed.The movie Sparticus was fiction but spoke of a real emote. Men enslaved will eventually weary of their chains Or THEY ARE NOT WORTH WORRYING ABOUT. But the Code requires me to never cease to attempt escape,nor cease helping others to escape.And the Code remains.

The sociopathic liberal in me wonders why we don’t go for the jugular on this issue and find a way to use it to further divide the two groups. And, in turn, help isolate the hispanics from the communist Democrat party. It’s a pretty decent set up. If we had some strategic thinkers...if we had some thinkers.
