WATCH: MSNBC host on Obama's remarks about Z trial: 'Wow! We really do have a black President'
WBZT-AM / The Blaze ^ | July 19, 2013

MSNBC co-host Toure praised President Obama’s 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 “could’ve been me 35 years ago,” despite the criticism he received for saying “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon” back in March. Martin was shot by George Zimmerman in what a jury recently ruled was self-defense.

Toure remarked: “I’ve 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 don’t feel a full part of society. A really incredible historical moment.”

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell added in conclusion: “We’ve all just experienced something — I need to absorb it, so do you. We’ll watch it, we’ll re-read it, we’ll look at it. Thanks for being with us.”

Here’s video of the exchange:

"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.

He’s not really black. Just a little dark. Isn’t skin color fun?!

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”.

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.
