No but the Pres should have stayed neutral on the matter and only made a comment about letting the justice system do it's job. He added creditability to a racial situation that at that time the facts had not been established.

It has been one of his biggest stupid remarks he has made and it's costing him.

Psst, your racism is showing.
That would be the democrats who formed the KKK and hung blacks and white Republicans.

Huh?

Dude, I'm only responding to the posts about people getting excited for this "race war" and talking about loading up.

Second of all, we've been over this before many times in your numerous threads about black people beating up white people. I don't condone it what so ever, and of course, like in the Trayvon Martin case, let's let the facts come out before we rush to judgement and try to push our opinions off as facts. Sheesh.

It was just another missed opportunity by Obama to be a leader, and calm racial tensions. It could have been worse, Obama could have said Zimmerman "acted stupidly" and "I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry".

My sister-in-law was nearly lynched in the same situation. Didn't need any Martin-Zimmerman case . It was not the only factor, but it was the main catalyst from them to walk away from their mortgage.

Nothing unusual at all.

Did white people back in the day step up and do anything about mob lynchings in the south? Did they SAY anything about that?

I'm talking the 1920's, 30's, etc.
We all know the relatively recent past...

How many times do we have to denounce these things? You post 50 examples like this, get the rebukes from Blacks on the first 49, and on the 50th one, you STILL act like Blacks or Liberals condone this behavior. Get a grip.

There hasn't been a single case where Blacks or Liberals on here have condoned or defended violence, yet you still want to stick your head in the cloud and act like we're secretly cheering these things on.

Your reply proves my point precisely, and concisely.
Politics foment hypocrisy.

Did the crosshairs posting cause Giffords to be shot? Did Palin's "lock and load" comment put that gun in that maniac's hand?

No.

Neither did the "Trayvon could be my son" comment from the President.
Sorry but you are very hard to follow today. First you decry conservatives for having defending Palin for having crosshairs superimposed on Giffords' picture (which of course Palin never did).

Now you yourself seem to be defending Palin, and then by the same token Obama.

quite a tangled web you're weaving today. Hopefully you're in the Eastern Time Zone and just haven't had your coffee yet.

You can't, so you deflect. sanrene posted that it was the dems, Libs, Obama that started this, and I asked that it be proven.

It can't.
Have you seen the news about "Tray Tray" in the past couple months? Was it pushed down your throat?

Well talk to them..educate the hateful red necks who think that all black human beings are all the same...that they are all horrible stupid people..The whites per capita have exactly the same amount of jerks...it's simple...all cultures have their inferiors...those seeking a race war for fun and games are not our best..they are our inferiors..certainly not the cream of the crop...there is black trash and there is white trash- and both piles of garbage are exactly the same height...that is just the nature of humanity...we are not all equal..so we must cope wisely with these inequalities.
