President Barack Obama, breaking his silence on the George Zimmerman acquittal, said Friday that many African-Americans believe that both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different if Trayvon Martin had been white. You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son, Obama said somberly during a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. In searingly personal terms, Obama described his personal experience with race-based prejudice. There are very few African-American men in this country who havent had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store -- that includes me, he said.

Big difference. Treyvon was worried about a white homo coming after him. Dumbo only dreams about that.

I am so sick of his lying crap. All his life he has been the beneficiary of being Black. He had no reason to rise above being a common laborer if he had been White.

The man is as seditious as Yevgrav Zhivago and Rasputin combined. Throw in some Trotsky for good measure and top with Lenin.
This man wants a race war.

10,000 BLACK MALES have been Murdered by BLACK MALES SINCE Trayvon was shot!
Not sure beating the white on black or rather White/Latino on Black crime dead horse is the burning issue of the day.

That is if Trayvon were a homosexual.

Skulking around with backpacks full of stolen merchandise, peeking in windows, afraid of homosexual rape, jumping “da man” and smashing in his nose, chooming all the time? Well, the last one certainly tracks.

So white people are never followed while shopping in a Department store. What a Jerk Off we have as President.

Was he smoking weed, drinking lean and jacking jewelry as a teen? Smoking weed and getting punked by his homo nanny.

Evidently Ubama used to go around delivering sucker-punches to crackahs.

Obama: Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years agoThank goodness the America of 2048 won't have to suffer the same way that we have.
To: AngelesCrestHighway
35+17 would make him 52 when Trayvon died which would put his birth year as 1960 and make him 53 this year. hmmmmmm

It's sickening. He has so many scandals and impeachable offenses brewing, he wades in to the morass he created with a backhoe and digs himself a race war
