Rev. Al Sharpton praised President Barack Obamas comments on the Trayvon Martin case, calling it a historic statement.
I thought the president made a very ,very historic statement that I think had to be said. I think he said it in a way that will make this country have to deal with the reality of why theyre seeing such dissatisfaction and such real anger in our community, Sharpton told Tamron Hall on MSNBC Friday afternoon.
The liberal pundit, who hosts his own MSNBC show Politics Nation, especially delighted in the president making it personal, relating to the incident and acknowledging that he himself could have been Trayvon Martin, the African American teenager killed by Zimmerman.
It is unprecedented for him to say that on the eve of [the 100-city rally]. It really makes the country understand that were not the trouble makers, were the trouble breakers. Its trouble when youve got to explain to your children that they are vulnerable and that the laws dont protect them, he added.
Sharpton, who has helped lead the call for a march in 100 cities in response to the Zimmerman not guilty verdict, said that now that the president had made his powerful statement, it was time for the others to put action to his words.
Were going to put feet to this statement and weve go tto go in these states and deal with these laws, he said, referring to the Stand Your Ground and stop and frisk laws that disproportionately affect minorities. I think he set a dialogue but i think those of us on the ground are going to have to set action.
I think Zimmerman had no choice BUT to deal with the anger that exists in certain segments of the black community in America. The anger was thrust upon him. He couldn’t retreat, he was getting his ass kicked by an angry black thug who apparently got back to his house, then re-engaged Zimmerman with the intent to whoop his ass, according to Jeantel.
so did Obama make 2 statements
“The liberal pundit, who hosts his own MSNBC show Politics Nation, especially delighted in the president making it personal, relating to the incident and acknowledging that he himself could have been Trayvon Martin...”
Martin was a cokehead, too?
Obama admits he’s a violent criminal and drug user. Impeach!
Stand Your Ground and self-defense laws aren’t going anywhere Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton, but keep dreaming.

Stay angry idiots. You’ve wasted generations on it. The rest of us will move on with our lives.
Oh how I wish the 14 congressional elections were tomorrow.
There would be a cleansing of Democrat Congresscritters.
Between this issue, Gun Control and Obamacare...
They sure want to enrage those Reagan Democrats don’t they?
Everything is “historic” when it comes to Barry Soetoro. He relieves himself and it’s “historic”. He makes a doody and it’s “historic”. Shut up Al. Go pimp something ya slug.
Damn, hit that one on the head.
Great comment!
Unfortunately, Al and his ilk can't afford their lifestyle without perpetuating the anger, he doesn't give a sheat about "his people"
Right...
People follow him after he’s been lookign into others’ windows, he runs home, then decides he’s gonna whoopass on people who have been following him? He calls people creepy ass crackas? He’s got a habit of getting in fights with people regularly? He drinks sizzurp?
Somebody please remind me why we are supposed to give a damn about Sharpton and 'his community'? In what way does Sharpton and 'his community' show concern about those outside of his community?
Yep. The majority of people agree with this verdict but these evil race hustlers keep going on and on about it because it serves them best. What do they think is gonna happen? I thought this asshole said to respect the verdict? We all knew he was gonna get involved again and we know he’s behind the DOH harassment of Zimmerman. Again WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS TO CALL HIM OUT FOR HIS RACIAL DIVISION AND DISRESPECT OF THE COURT SYSTEM AND THE HARASSMENT OF AN INNOCENT MAN!
The media eats this crap up like flies on shit. The left in this country are a cross between spoiled children and mentally deranged.
Not ANOTHER Gettysburg Address moment...has tingles weighed in yet?
They don't know who we are, where we are, how many we are, or how angry we are. I don't think they want to find out.
