When
Barack Obama said that if he had a son, "he'd look like Trayvon," it
perhaps didn't say much for him as a parent. And when the president now
says that Martin could have been him "35 years ago," it doesn't say much
for him as a youth. Of course, we know that Choom Gang Obama smoked
marijuana like Martin. I wonder, though, did he miss 53 out of 90 days
of school and get suspended 3 times during that period? Was he caught
with ladies jewelry, a "burglary tool" and drug paraphernalia in school?
Did he enjoy fighting and, when a girlfriend implored him to beat his
sword into ploughshares, say that he was going to fight another boy
again because "he didn't bleed enough for me"? Most significantly, would
Obama have attacked George Zimmerman, broken his nose and pounded his
head against the pavement? It seems the president is implying he was a
thug.
(Aside:
on the other hand, if you truly believe Martin was a good kid, Mr.
Obama, would you have been okay with his dating one of your daughters?)
In
reality, I'm quite certain what young Obama would've done if he had
been profiled and was alarmed at being followed. Run. Ah, but should a
teenager minding his own business (supposedly) have to be profiled? The
president certainly doesn't think so, as he recently said, "There are very few African American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors
of cars. That happens to me - at least before I was a senator. There
are very few African Americans who haven't had the experience of getting
on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding
her breath until she had a chance to get off."
Yes, what injustice. What an imposition. What prejudice.
What nonsense.
