MSNBC co-host Toure praised President Obamas first public remarks on the George Zimmerman verdict Friday, saying they reaffirm that we really do have a black president.
The president surprised many by saying Trayvon Martin couldve been me 35 years ago, despite the criticism he received for saying If I had a son, hed look like Trayvon back in March. Martin was shot by George Zimmerman in what a jury recently ruled was self-defense.
Toure remarked: Ive been thinking lately, do we actually have a black president, or a president who happens to be black?
This moment was like, Wow! We really do have a black president who will come out and lay it on the line
A nuanced discussion of what it means to be black, not holding back from this notion that blacks dont feel a full part of society. A really incredible historical moment.
MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell added in conclusion: Weve all just experienced something I need to absorb it, so do you. Well watch it, well re-read it, well look at it. Thanks for being with us.

"This moment was like, Wow! We really do have a black president" Yes, the current resident of the People's House is black. What we need, however, is an American President, to attempt to unite the nation rather than incite a race war.

Toure is a prime example of the kind of turds the ‘journalism’ schools are turning out these days.

Do any legal experts know the answer to this question? If such a juror in a trial
later comes forward with accusations that her vote was coerced or mislead, can the verdict be declared void and a new one called for?
I can see these jurors (come on, the activists know who they are - they have this corrupt court in their pocket) being incessantly pressured and made to fear for their lives unless they do the bidding of these barbarians.

If Zimmerman is a “white Hispanic”, then Obama is a “white black”.

A nuanced discussion of what it means to be black, not holding back from this notion that blacks dont feel a full part of society.My non-nuanced discussion on what this white man is going to continue to do. 1.) I will defend my family, myself and my property regardless of an attacker's skin color. 2.) I choose not to interact with liberals regardless of their skin color. Sorry blacks, that is 95% of your population.
