Obama: 'Trayvon Martin Could Have Been Me 35 Years Ago'

[Roverron]

Obama said that "there are very few African-American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they go shopping. That includes me."

He said many African-American men have heard car locks click when they cross a street — "that's happened to me." And he spoke of African-American men getting on elevators to see "a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she has a chance to get off."

"Those sets of experience inform how the African-American community interprets what happened one night in Florida," said the president.

Obama doesn't like the way the scourge of black crime is making people nervous around young black guys.

He thinks people should be able to look into the soul of the next gold toothed hoodie thug they see and find all the sublime beauty there.

Now that they tried to throw zimmerman into the volcano of PC human sacrifice, he figures it's time to get rid of those pesky "stand your ground" laws.

There is simply no end to how much of a complete failure as a president that Obama is.

Yep, too bad. I agree, a Thug is A Thug! Now Obama is a Big Time Thug!

Maybe if Obama took a minute and looked a crime statistics, or spent some time watching security cam videos from liquor store, mini mart, gas station robberies, he would understand why young black males wearing hoodies make some people nervous. Maybe then he would send Holder back to the NAACP to explain that just maybe the unease some feel around young black males is justified. Maybe he would even hold another press conference and ask parents from his own community to put raising their children and teaching them right from wrong a little higher up their priorities list. Maybe?

Naaah it will never happen.

Well, we wouldn't have to be so damn cautious of "them" if "they" wouldn't act like such POS' and if they changed how they act and treat other people in society!
