Obama speaks out on Zimmerman verdict
http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/19/politics/obama-zimmerman/index.html?hpt=hp_t1#cnn-disqus-area

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama said Friday that "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago"

So, the president could have been a thug that attacked GZ...nice.

"history of racial disparity in our criminal laws"

Umm...perhaps a history of racial disparity in the enforcement of our laws.

the government should review some state and local legislation, such as Florida's "stand your ground" law, saying they may promote rather than discourage violent confrontations.

SYG wasn't part of this case or trial. Get a fuckin' clue.

Every day for years millions of people were more amazed that people voted George W. Bush into the Whie House for a SECOND time.

So it goes. You can either waste energy worrying about it, or you can enjoy your next beer.

No, what he clearly meant, without your "spin", was that as a young man he, too, could have easily been profiled as "suspicious", based at least partly on racial appearance and being "out of place", while walking down the street.

Actually, in the laws themselves in many jurisdictions, at least until the mid 1960s. But more to your point, the disparity is felt most not in the abstract, but "on the ground", as it were - in the actual enforcement of the laws. And the history is there. And I'm still in the system myself, and I tell you from first-hand observation that it's still there, palpably.

Of course it was, it always was. It was part of the context of GZ's state of mind, and possibly TM's as well. Until GZ's attorneys made the tactical decision not to invoke SYG as an affirmative defense, it was the potential 900 pound gorilla in the (court)room. Frankly, even after that it really was, as evidence was admitted at trial that GZ took criminal justice courses in which SYG was part of the curriculum. So SYG was never out of the picture; it always resonated throughout the case.

He claims there is no "history" of laws specifically targeting minorities and then only concedes that "perhaps" some laws were enforced against minorities unequally.

If one is so ignorant of history, (and he's not) any rational argument is pointless. This is straight from the GOP handbook, repeat a lie frequently enough and it soon must be a fact.

I think he knows
But he is not a leader
He is a community rabble rouser
It is the only way this narcissist, immature, inexperienced person who is in way over his head knows how to try and get his way

On the other hand, he is one of the best calculating politician we have ever seen. Regardless of your age. Cause he has gotten almost everything he has wanted

So, stir up the racism bs, look for sympathy, and use this non-issue of a verdict to go after one he has not won yet. Gun control

He is using all of us

And it is no accident

Because in the mean time, he gets away with not being linked to anything

Even the Washington (com)Post has editorialized about it know

He's good

real good

I agree with you 100%, While things are 99% better than they were 100 years ago, profiling still happens. a friend of mine 's mother is a black Congresswomen from Berkley, She has been pulled over in her car with congressional plates and the first words asked of her were" Where's the congressman" She has been accused of soliciting by SFO police. The fact is, the race card is played so often that it diminishes the genuine cases.

But to flat out deny that there were ever laws that only targeted minorities is just ignorant, ask Rosa Parks.

What angers me, not amazed, is that BHO made an impromptu race baiting news release. A real leader would have remained neutral or spoke about respecting the judicial system.

He was totally out of line as POTUS when he stated that if Trayvon was of age and armed he would have been justified to invoke SYG because he was being followed by a white man in a car.

Prepare for SHTF, coming to a city near you.

Fundamentally change America, yeah baby, rip away at social civility at every opportunity. You BHO supporting fools should be hanging your heads in shame.

Absolutely! He sucked people in with his 'educated speech' meanwhile destroying this nation from the inside out.
As an example, look at how deftly he swerved the American attention from the IRS 'scandal' to the Zimmerman verdict. He's a cagey one, he is!

Still angry over the lack of riots in Florida? There's a lot of republicans out there very disappointed that blacks did not live up to republican's image of them.

You are not in the loop. SHTF refers to a lot more than riots. And, I think your statement is a trolling attempt.

I didn't read that. I read laws that were specifically targeted to race. Those haven't existed in a generation or 2.

You need to pull your head out. There were riots...did you not see the posts of thousands of black people stopping traffic on 288 in hour and the white woman saying she was trying to get her granddaughter to the hospital when the thug black dude punched her? Obviously not...either that or you have selective vision for only crimes committed by white people.
