Obama never missed an opportunity to sow the seeds of racial division.

The fact that he was a community agitator, hints that Obama knew exactly what he was doing, when he did it. But he did it anyway, because it would get him votes/attention. Screw the consequences, the people getting hurt owe some of it to Obama starting the snowball rolling. Obama has had a decade to correct the record, admit a mistake, apologize, or do the right thing. Despite the evidence showing how wrong he was, and all the harm done in Trayvon/George Zimmerman's name, Obama never lifted a finger to correct the record, or act like an adult. |
When you reward bad behavior with media attention you will get more of it. Obama jumped into the Trayvon fray, and did a speech that was the worst thing possible to unite us.
- He doesn't correct the misconceptions
- He never tried to calm the racial animus
- He never waited for the evidence
- He takes the side of the race-hucksters and feeds racial division with comments like, "if I had a son, he would have looked like Trayvon".
- Whether intended or not, he emboldened the race baiters, and lead to many more incidents.
- Obama's had decades to correct the record, and admit mistakes and do the right thing. He chose the lower path instead.
The violence of today, can be traced back to this false narrative and a President that was a community agitator instead of a diplomat
The Speech[edit | edit source]
Obama went community organizer, exposing that he was never the racial uniter he promised to be[1]
Here's my responses to some of his points:
Obama, "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago" |
Mr. President, you mean you were a gold teeth wearing and tattoo covered teen, that bragged about assaulting people, called women bitches and hoes, and bragged about getting pussy on your twitter feed? I suspect if you had been, then your White Mother and Grandma would have kicked your ass. That is what responsible guardians do, otherwise you might get shot playing thug.
And as far as I know, you didn't assault strangers for looking at you wrong. At least not according to the semi-fictionalized autobiographies you wrote.
How many times were you suspended for drugs and burglary tools and stolen goods? If that was you 35 years ago, then in truth, the world might be a better place with you gone than having to spend the money putting and keeping you in prison: which was the path Trayvon was heading down.
This is a kid that was suspended 3 times for graffiti, truancy, drugs, and they had found a screwdriver and women's Jewelry in his backpack that he was "holding for a friend". Yup, no reason at all to suspect that on the night of the crime, he might have been on drugs (coroner found THC/Pot in his system), or that he might be casing houses by walking on the grass, slowly, in the rain as Zimmerman alluded to. 8+ minutes to walk like 100 yards in the rain, not suspicious at all.
Like many African American young men, he had been followed in department stores, seen people lock their cars when he crossed the streets and watched as women clutched their handbags during an elevator ride with him. |
That's so unlike the experiences of like every male teen that ever dressed badly, of any color. Duh!
This reeks of bigotry and ignorance by the President. Either:
- he doesn't understand that some of this is the consequences of the kid
- or he is intentionally doing mental gymnastics to inject race into a non-racial story
- or he is pretending that experience is somehow only a black experience.
Ask any of the top-10 White rappers, or Latinos or Asian kids, if they've ever been harassed by the po-lice, or if they've had shop-keepers keep an extra keen eye on them because of how they looked, and you find out how racist it is to assume this is a uniquely "black" experience.
Yes, I realize that many black kids probably get that worse. But why?
Because inner-city black community has failed to offer good cultural influences, and 3% of black kids are committing over 50% of the murders and crimes in the nation.
As many black commentators have pointed out, black people that get on a elevator with a thuggy looking black kid, also clutch their purses tighter, or get very cautious. They might do it with thuggy looking white or latino kids, even if the odds are like 5x greater of getting assaulted/mugged/murdered by the black one. It's the math and facts that's the problem, not race.
The stereotype exists, because of the social failure of blacks to own their own problems, and fix them. And blaming one of the least racist countries in the entire world, for their communities problem is chicken-shit cowardice. I expect that from race baiting bigots like Sharpton and Jackson -- but I expect my President to either be wise enough to shut up, or smart enough to try to calm racial tensions by pointing out the facts -- not inflame them for political gain.
Those sets of experiences inform how the African-American community interprets what happened one night in Florida, and it’s inescapable for people to bring those experiences to bear. |

As the article mentions, Obama didn't need to speak about race -- he wanted to. He wanted to polarize the nation more, give credence to the protestors, increase the friction in society, because it got him political gains to all the racist blacks, race-guilty whites. It catered to his base. |
Perception is not reality: reality is reality.
There's a saying that to blacks it's always about race, and to white's it's never about race -- and both are wrong.
Well, this was not the time to pander to the blacks and inflame the racial tension over something the FBI investigation, local police investigation, and everyone involved admits was not about race.
There's zero evidence that Zimmerman was a racist.
There's lots of evidence that Trayvon was.
Instead of pandering to the ignorance of the black community, and inflaming racial tensions, a President has a responsibility to ignore the issue, or try to cool it down -- not heat it up.
I think it’s going to be important for all of us to do some soul-searching. |
I agree. You first (to Obama).
So what was the purpose and the ends of that speech?
Why did you inject yourself in a local crime?
And if you're going to do so, why did you do it in a way that's more likely to inflame and polarize than to soothe and unite?
Answer those after some soul searching, Mr. President.
What a real President should have said[edit | edit source]
There were thousands of things a good President could have said like:
|
Trayvon should be an example: don't let your kids dress and act like hoodlums, or someone might mistake them for one.
The President took an opportunity to divide us. But he sure missed one to help black people and all Americans out, by speaking truth to race baiters.
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
- Someone said the other day, "blacks have to question what to tell their kids", after Trayvon.
- I replied, "tell them not to assault strangers, because one of them might be armed".
- They replied I was a rude/racist for not being as ignorant and racist as they were.
And that sums up the whole discussion around Trayvon and race in America today.
The Presidents comments were dumb, inflammatory and racist (since the only thing a spoiled half black kid from Hawaii had in common with Trayvon was 1/2 of his race).
Most of all, it was divisive.
He spoke to the black community and white-guilt crowd (the ignorati), and said, "keep it up". Get out and protest.
Obama said he would have liked a different outcome... in other words, he would have rather seen an innocent man get imprisoned, rather than have to have to admit what the FBI, Local Police, and facts have been telling him -- which is the only reason this case had anything to do with race, is because politicians like Sharpton, Jackson and Obama injected race into it. Which polarizes the nation further between the informed, and the Democrats.
