    If Americans can't wake the hell up and realize how racist Obama is, then they need to STFU, go home and never vote again.

    He prevented his justice department from prosecuting the new black panthers in Philadelphia on an open and shut case.

    He never brought Shamir shabaz up on trial for his inflamatory public racist remarks to "Kill cracka babies"

    AND as the kicker you always see Obama openly speak out in defence of black people............whether they deserve it or not, but NEVER seems to consider the injustice to people of other races for similar incidents.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE. Obama needs to go.

    No, I did not hear about the boy dying.

    Not many people outside of Florida heard about the Martin shooting until the outrage expressed by the parent reached the national audience.

    Your point (whatever that might be) is lost when you resort to name calling.

    Perhaps the following might focus your attention as to racism in the United States:

    "More than 85 percent of the estimated 5,000 lynchings in the post-Civil War period occurred in the Southern states. 1892 was a peak year when 161 African Americans were lynched. The creation of the Jim Crow laws, beginning in the 1890s, completed the revival of white supremacy in the South. Terror and lynching were used to enforce both these formal laws and a variety of unwritten rules of conduct meant to assert white domination. In most years from 1889 to 1923, there were 50–100 lynchings annually across the South."

    and what exactly did Obama actually say? any idea? after it had become a national interest story, he said he had a great deal of sympathy and empathy for the kid's family. did he say anything to indicate he thought Zimmerman was guilty? actually, no he didn't. he did say the FBI and others are currently investigating the incident. We've had more than a few racists in the White House over the years. Obama isn't one of them.

    I am in the Midwest and didn't hear about it. Wow, guess that makes me a racist also.

    All those people across the USA didn't even have clue how racist they all are because they had no idea about this boy in a Midwest town being killed.

    No, I cant imagine Obama knows about every child getting murdered.

    No, but the suspects in that case have been detained by authorities. They aren't walking around free to set any more white boys on fire.

    Obama didn't make his comments because this was a hate crime. Obama made his comments in order to restore people's faith that justice will be served. Otherwise, there would be a lynching party outside Zimmerman's house.

    I think you are a racist for totally ignoring the "abscence of justice" issue surrounding the Trayvon Martin case. You'd rather exploit an innocent teenager's death to cast accusations of racism at our president. What a low trick for political leverage!

    He also ignores it when tornados kill dozens of people of all races.

    He only likes stories they can spin and demonize republicans by using a race card. Dumb people do that stuff, because their agenda is so dumb they can't use those facts to get support, so they have make up lies and create crisises to get their way- its called CRIMINALS- Criminals are running our country right now!
