Obama: “If I Had A Son He'd Look Like Trayvon”
Buzzfeed ^ | 3/23/12 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 03/23/2012 7:35:53 AM PDT by RabidBartender

President Barack Obama weighed in on the "tragedy" of Trayvon Martin's death last week, saying it is "absolutely imperative" that all levels of government investigate "every aspect" of how the unarmed boy was shot.

"I can only imagine what these parents are going through," Obama said, adding "When I think about this boy I think about my own kids."

"I am glad that not only is the Justice Department is looking into this, but the Governor of the State of Florida has put together a task force [to investigate the case]," Obama said. Obama carefully avoided any discussion of George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin, and has controversially avoided arrest under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense laws.

"My main message is to the parents: If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon. I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves."

And yet he has nothing to say about blacks setting a 13 year old white kid on fire.

“If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon.”

Unless the white gene came out and then he'd look like Alfred E. Newman.

Nothing in that post was racist, unless no one can disagree with TOTUS, Democrats in general, and the State-Controlled Media.

More like if: “Obama: ‘If I Had A Son He’d be tossin’ gasoline!’”

Remember Obama talking about his "typical white grandma", the one who was nervous about black guys walking down the street?

If Obama had a white granny, would she look like Nancy Strait?

An 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and battered to death by a home invader who also shot her 90-year-old husband in the face with a BB gun.

together for 65 years... only to be parted after home invader beat wife to death

Nancy and Bob Strait:

Or is it, if Obama had a son, he'd look like the perp, Tyrone:

Lets be direct. This elderly woman was raped and murdered by a black man. Her WWII vet husband for 65 years is fighting for his life. This is a hate crime beyond a horror. Imagine being 85, being raped and beaten to death. Imagine her husband having to watch this. I want to know why this is not all over every newspaper in the country, and every news station. Instead we are having to get an Oklahoma story from the Daily Mail in the UK because a black teen was shot in a scuffle by a white Hispanic.

"My main message is to the parents: If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon."

No, if Obama had a son he sure wouldn't be out late at night buying his own skittles! But, besides that, why would it matter more OR less what a kid LOOKS like? Is he trying to say because the kid was skinny and black and his ears poked out that he would look like a son he could have had and it made the case more sad? It makes NO sense, but this is par for the course where the Bamster is concerned. Just like Rev. Al and Jessie, now, HE'S got to put himself in the middle of what could very easily turn into another race riot.

It's time for white families to stand up and contact their newspapers, their TV stations and ask the question, “what about our white children, our mothers and fathers, our relatives who were assaulted/killed by black males...is barack oboma going to call these white folks with words of condolence?

oboma is itchin’ for a race war, confrontation, like the good socialist/commie that he is. What a despicable piece of hate this creature is.

These statements by Obama are designed to divide America, and to accelerate the flash point for Obama’s fascist designer riots in the run up to the November election.

Obama is currying the white america guilt vote that elected him in the first place. For a fascist, that should only work once.

Obama is a nasty little fascist, destabilizing America at every turn , for the benefit of his own personal political movement.

With this statement Obama is entering territory that will lead to very tragic consequences for America.

What about the white kid in Missouri who was torched by two black kids , using gasoline? Where was the comment there Obama? Hate crime is now defined as having only black victims, thanks to the so called Reverend, Ralph Wright’s black liberation theology , which underlies Obama’s fascism.

If zero ever does try martial law, it will show how dumb he really is. If he and Sharpton really want civil war, they won’t like the outcome.
