"Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago."

Really Obama? I mean, really? 35 years ago you would have been getting suspended from school, caught with stolen jewelry, drinking lean, getting thrown out of your mother's house for acting wild, and referring to yourself as "no_limit_****a" online?

Puh-lease.

a woman's baby was shot in the head by two thugs who robbed her, that were black

[QUOTE="MrPraline"][QUOTE="DevilMightCry"] Not sure who you're talkin to, but I am in agreement with the President 100%. You obviously did not read, what I wrote or watch his speech. GreySeal9

If somebody saw my name and assumed my post would be racist, I'd be a little concerned TBH.

I, for one, am completely shocked that the President is commenting on the current hot button topic. Shocked!

Coming from a terrible president like him, anything he says is meaningless. TheWalkingGhost

..oh no, people from the surburbs are feeling oppressed.

This topic is full of autism.

While the speech wasn't bad, the statement "Treyvon could've been me 35 years ago" is pandering and asinine. 

I think Obama was quite brave to take up this topic in this manner. His speech acknowledges several uncomfortable realities that few want to talk about (black on black violence, racial profiling by law enforcement and civilians alike, and a historical record that can make Caucasians cringe as well as a crime rate that can make African Americans do the same). The lesser members of society will prove themselves such by being unable to contribute to these conversations. As for the rest of us, owning up to our individual and our society's failings can be infinitely valuable, even if one doesn't like the messengers.Chemistian

*applause*

instead what we get are whatabouterries from people looking to release bile.

The President should only ever speak publicly about federal cases. Making a speech on state cases demeans his position.EagleEyedOne

[QUOTE="MrPraline"]Some good and touching words. Would've believed it if it was anyone but Obama.worlock77

To be honest when you make comments as ridiculous as this it becomes a little hard to take you seriously.

If I might add, the only thing that he should have done is stop this persecution of Zimmerman from DOJ, and Eric Holder. Which is unheard of from an administration. DevilMightCry

Why does he take every opportunity to turn it into a discussion about himself?LJS9502_basic

A lot of politicans are like this. Bob Dole likes to talk about Bob Dole :lol:

I find it funny that white people have been bringing up what about black on black crime.Ya'll act like black people don't care about it cause you don't see rallies and meetings nationally televised.When black people kill they tend to get arrested on site,within hours or days .Ya'll bring up Chicago murder rate but I guarantee none of u legitimately give a f*ck about them.Bet if them Chi gangs make there way into the white areas and they start to kill some white people America would then start to care.Bucked20

I have no problem with Obama releasing this statement, people need to stop being so harsh about everything he does. He is a good President. AbstractRadical

People, including our president, need to stop talking about this case. It's no different from the dozens of other people that are killed everyday. Only in this case no crime was committed. Justice has been served. The president is just as influenced by our god awful media as everyone else. It's time to let this case die. ferrari2001

Agreed people need to spend less time talking about this and more time talking about Bob Dole. Bob Dole sure likes talking about Bob Dole. If Bob Dole had a son with a hispanic woman he could have been Zimmerman. Bob Dole. 

People need to get over the Trevon Martin thing, the jury made the right call on their verdict.

I used to like CNN but they are getting ridiculous with this.

I think the juror who spoke out got it right, Martin lashed out at Zimmerman, was beating him up, Zimmerman feared for his life and shot him. Same thing any sane person would do to preserve their life.

The backlash against the juror is ridiculous and unwarranted, blame the laws not the juror.

Oh and by the way, Zimmerman is Hispanic in the same way Obama is considered black. So quit taking this out on white people.

So, did the Police "act stupidly" by prosecuting?

Edit: Pooey, police don't prosecute. My joke failed. :[

I thought all hispanics were from Mexico? :shock: Does Bob Dole know about this? No I'm sure Bob Dole knows it's just this thread needed more talking about Bob Dole. Bob Dole.

This thread is now about Hitler and Nazis.

This thread is now about Hitler and Nazis.

I just realised. If Hilter had a son with a Peruvian woman he would be just like George Zimmerman. Where did the nazis hide after WW2? South America! OMG mind blown Zimmerman is basically Hitler's son. Prove me wrong or else I'm going to start talking about Bob Dole again.

I moreso see people pointing out how many people in the black community emphasize white on black crime than black on black crime, which occurs more often. People just want some consistency even if they say so in dickish manner, and as a black person myself, I want consistency too.

They committed a crime and then they were swiftly apprehended and charges were filed, so what's there to discuss? MrGeezer

"Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago."
