If G.W. Bush Had a Son, He'd Look Like Christopher Lane
American Thinker ^ | 08/22/2013 | Taleeb Starkes

Posted on 08/22/2013 6:36:11 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Imagine the Left's reaction if the shocking, inter-racial murder of Christopher Lane had occurred when G.W Bush was president and he had stated, "If I had a son, he'd look like Christopher," or "Christopher Lane could've been me 35 years ago."  Undoubtedly, the race-peddlers and entire grievance industry would've interpreted his comments as a subtle war declaration against Black America.  Yet, when President Obama made these statements about Trayvon Martin, the Lefties claimed that he wasn't being divisive, he was simply "keepin' it real."

The racial dynamics of both Christopher Lane and Trayvon Martin's scenarios have many people focusing on the similarities.  I, on the other hand, see stark contrasts.  

Unlike Trayvon Martin, Christopher Lane doesn't have powerful, race-baiting allies in the Oval Office, Justice Department, media, and entertainment industry.  Assuredly, General Holder will not use Chris Lane's senseless murder as a catalyst to pursue his often-requested national race dialogue.  Nope.  Nor will the Justice Department zealously create a tips hotline (in Zimmerman-like fashion) to build an airtight case against the Chris Lane's shooter for a civil rights violation or hate crime, even though the alleged gunman once tweeted, "90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM."  

There will not be nationwide "stop the violence" marches with fed-up participants wearing baseball hats to honor Chris Lane.

“Advisedly, with Obama at the helm for the next few years, George Bush’s sons may want to keep an eye out for Obama sons.”

Since FAMU is making Trayvon Martin's dad an honorary captain, a sports team in baseball should make Lane's dad the same. Everyone should contact a favorite MLB team or perhaps a college team in Oklahoma.

If the black community really wanted to change things, it would. There has to be a part of it that doesn't want change. There will always be murders, robbers and such, but when race is the factor for it...that is strictly a state of acceptance.

The ONLY folks excoriated for racism are whites. Racism is a two-way street. Always has been; always will be.

Christopher Lane doesn’t have powerful, race-baiting allies in the Oval Office.
