President Obama publicly and personally addressed the Trayvon Martin case for the first time since George Zimmerman was acquitted nearly a week ago, relating his own experiences to the "pain" the black community is feeling and going on to question so-called "stand-your-ground" laws.
The president delivered extensive remarks during a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. He underscored the role race may have played in the case, saying that if a "white male teen" were involved "both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different."
[snip] The president used the highly personal comments to, in his words, put the angst in the black community in "context." And he also appeared to give his support to Attorney General Eric Holder's call earlier in the week for a review of "stand-your-ground" laws.

.... The problem with all of this race bating is that the Race Industry has been hiding and covering up any positive information attesting to the real character of Mr. George Zimmerman as opposed by the media fabricated one. The more information that gets out there that makes it to the vacant brains of the so called Low Information useless idiot public out there, the better chance that this incident will be subdued .... because ... let's face it ...... they picked the wrong guy to brand a Rabid Racist!!!
There absolutely needs to be a concerted effort to get the information out to the public even if it means spending a few advertising dollars to do so. There needs to be articles and perhaps viral videos and news specials made that tell the actual truth about Zimmerman!!!
..... For instance, unlike the vapid empty headed braindeads out there ... we all know that Zimmerman mentored under privileged black youth and was involved in the community ..... But, Did you all know .... that the evil George Zimmerman forced the investigation, arrest and discipline of a police Lieutenant's son who beat up a black youth ....... How much does America really know about George Zimmerman?
I thought it was ramadamading dong so I am supprised to see his muslim ass doing anything.
If I owned a pig sty, I’d send a couple tons of pork products to his excellency to enjoy his holiday.
Barry knows better than the Sanford jury.
When do you acknowledge my pain and stop ascribing all the woes of the world on the white man?
Feh!
I just this minute posted this on another thread:
This comment was a GIGANTIC mistake.
For any President, let alone the petulant Obama, to align himself with a court case — especially AFTER a jury has decided it — not only demeans the presidency, it reinforces the idea that this is a single-issue guy, and that issue is race. Not smart “optics”.
Obama is condoning riots uh, oops, ‘Demonstrations’ for tomorrow and the weekend.
If you can’t post using the original headline, don’t bother.
If Fox had any balls, they’d run your headline instead!
Poor ol Hispanic George Zimmerman’s Great Pee Pah was black, his girl friend was black, he mentored black kids, he defended a homeless black man.
But Obama and Holder painted him white, just so they can get Whitey.
The most divisive president in US history. He is a disgrace.
Making excuses for blacks rioting and causing mayhem over this.
Stand your ground laws had absolutely nothing to do with this case.
This president is a racial demagogue.
The DOJ sent community agitators to Sanford the minute it hit the news.
This was just another "under the radar" gun control propaganda campaign.
Yeah, put them under house arrest in front of a computer so they can post duplicate threads on FR under their own dumb headlines!
Let the race war begin.
Mr. pResident, as a lawyer, you know damn well that Stand Your Ground laws played no part in this trial.
Now kindly keep your divisive racist agenda to yourself, and stop attacking my right to defend myself, because I am going to do exactly that whether you or anyone else tells me I can or not.
What a shameless piece of cr@p this guy is.
Not my president.
I’m appalled that the president of the US and the AG aren’t asking for calm and respecting the process of trial by jury. Has there ever before been a president who has through his words encouraged protests which could easily become riots?
Now that blacks are in high positions of power, they are eager to hand out Jim Crow to others, just as Democrats passed them in the early 20th Century to keep innocent victims defenseless against violent thugs. The color of the thugs has changed, and the color of the victims has changed, but the party supporting Jim Crow gun control laws keeping victims defenseless has not changed at all.
