Does that mean POTUS was kicked out of school, called hispanics (inaccurately) crazy ass crackers, and physically assaulted them? I'm not sure Trayvon Martin is the type of person the leader of the free world wants to liken himself to. I understand he was referring to being racially profiled as a youth but sheesh. Trayvon has become more of a martyr for racial divide by the media. Why would the Chief of State make such a stark definition of himself!?

My interpretation is that he's being incredibly racist...against blacks

Yeah. As someone who voted for Obama and would do so again, this is embarrassing.

Does it matter now? Martin is still dead and Zimmerman will stay free. It's over.

C'mon guys. It's sounding very "I'm not a racist, I swear!" in here.

There are more important things for him to be focusing on, I think. That said, I think you're right. *NM*

People do forget that he's only half black - and more importantly, not "African American" at all.

I'm not saying he hasn't. In fact, I've said too many times in this thread that he has.
