By saying &#8220;that could&#8217;ve been me 35 years ago&#8221; he made it even more personal and suggestive from his first statement when he said &#8220;if I had a son he would look like Trayvon&#8221;. To those who praise him, they will perceive this new statement that we lost a potential future POTUS in Trayvon Martin. This simple statement will only inflame those already amping up racial tension to the uninformed class.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest the only real reason he is injecting himself into this is to go after existing self-defense and Stand Your Ground laws. The gun debate isn&#8217;t over, it never was. It ran out of steam where this case just put life back into it!<\/p>\n<p>This guy needs to keep quiet on the Zimmerman\/ Martin verdict because all he and the race hustling industry are doing is creating a larger divide among the people in America, where there wasn&#8217;t one years ago. I can say this with confidence because black Americans account for, correct me if I&#8217;m wrong, 14% of the population. That means a lot of white people had to vote for him <strong>twice<\/strong> to be POTUS. There is no racism in America, the only racism we see is from those seeking to profit off of it!<\/p>\n<p>So no one will whine about context here is the entire press briefing where Obama even encouraged more rallies!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/14moCEtd4Og?rel=0\" height=\"203\" width=\"360\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obama made an appearance during the White House Press briefing today and IMO he threw more gasoline on the fire!
