But, but, but this cannot be true! Only whites can be racist, just ask a non-white!

Good points in the article.

Another example -- the Black families in my neighborhood and children's school are much, much more similar to my family than to Black families elsewhere where the parents had little education and/or live in subsidized housing. A lot of us come from mixed income backgrounds and despite hardships of our parents or grandparents, have now "made it." Not everything should be about skin color... too bad so many people are obsessed with it.

There is no need to victimize yourself. Anybody can be racist, blacks, hispanics, anybody. But whites can still be racist. Just because there is a backlash towards what use to be known as "reverse racism", that doesn't mean that it is okay for white people to be racist.

It goes ALL ways. We are all equal and that's what all people of every race need to understand.

It was rather stunning to hear the president interject such and emotionally charged comment into a murder case, especially when the race hustlers and racist were turning the whole thing into a circus already.

Obama's judgment has always been poor, and in this case Obama acted stupidly.

any person of any race can be racist...there are even people that are racist of their own race. Where do you think the term race traitor came form?

He opened his mouth last March and took a side with "If I had a son....".
The President of the United States stated an opinion to the nation about a local crime.
He should have kept his mouth shut as well as Holder.

Barack Obama should be required to pay for George Zimmerman's bodyguards for the rest of this life. Barack has prevented Zimmerman from moving to another community and starting a new life. Barack took a small town local trial and made it national.

He swayed public opinion with his comments.
The WH recently met with the NAACP over their demands that the DOJ "do something".
The administration is fueling this.
