Barack Obama has repeatedly decided to identify with a child who was killed while walking home from a convenience store in Florida. The case has been tried in court and the defendant has been acquitted of the charges that were filed against him. The defendant has been maligned in the press many times because the victim is a black teenager in whom the black community is using as a poster child to vent their anger against the system of justice practiced in Florida. The sorrow is that Barack Obama has decided to use this issue to address racial problems, and has decided that he and Trayvon share much in common.
I had been following the White House on facebook but having found today a series of posts all with Barack Obama stating his case about his relationship to the victim, I had to stop liking and following the posts from the White House. He was clearly spamming his followers and I block spammers. I had followed the White House to know what is going on but I found this offensive and racist as well as divisive.
Since Trayvon was not on trial, nothing about his lifestyle came out in the course of the trial to determine what kind of kid he had been. A few things stood out but they were such that nobody who did not know him personally could make a sound judgement about him.
For the president to jump on his bandwagon so early proves only that Obama is at the mercy of a group of black supporters who are manipulating him to say this or that he is truly just stupid enough to believe that if he says this he will mollify the parents and the community.
While George Zimmerman has a father who is caucasian and a mother who is from Peru, it has been learned that he is known for his kindness to young black children in his community. Does Barack Obama acknowledge that? Hardly. He emphasizes only his likeness to the victim who was killed in the confrontation that occurred between him and the defendant, George Zimmerman.
My beef with Barack Obama is that this case was aired nationally on many networks and he could have stayed abreast of all the information that came out in the trial. It all proved that Zimmerman had been the victim of Trayvon Martin's decision to hit him and to injure him repeatedly. Why does Barack Obama identify with a teenager who chooses to accost an authority figure who is guarding the neighborhood?
I believe that I know why. It is his declaration that deep in his heart, he has racial prejudice and bias against the white people of America. Without whom he could never have become elected. I believe that Barack Obama needs to make a good self examination of his own feelings. He needs to learn how to be honest with himself so that he can be honest with those who elected him to office. He has declared himself to be more concerned about the color of his skin and that of Trayvon Martin than anything else in this case. It matters not to him that Trayvon was close enough to home to get there safely without confronting Zimmerman. All that matters to him is that Trayvon and he share the same racial makeup. I do not believe that he is fit to be president. As an attorney, he should know the legal proceedings and the cause of justice. He has interfered in a small town trial trying to turn it into a poltical football.
Angry black women fearing that their children cannot walk down the streets of America without getting shot is a deliberate exaggeration. For once, the shoe is on the other foot because most white people have always felt that about walking into black neighborhoods. A white child was killed senselessly by teenagers in a thrill killing in Georgia. Did Barack Obama address the cause of Antony West? A white bus driver in Kansas City was stabbed and beaten by two black men who were caught on tape while two other black men stood by to do nothng but sit and watch.
Barack Obama. Grow up. Act with your head instead of with your emotional blindness about skin tones.
