Quote:There's a Black Man in the White House.  Some folks have never gotten over that.

 

The Trayvon Martin case helped push suspicious people further into their own prejudiced camps.  That's on both sides of the racial divide, by the way.

 

And then there's Black Lives Matter v Police Lives Matter v All Lives Matter.  For me it's All Lives Matter>Police Lives Matter>Black Lives Matter, but for many it's the other way around.  I've been alive a while, so I can remember times when things were more polarized.  I think the difference now is that it's in our face 24/7.

 

Barack Obama is a tool no matter what his skin color. His actions in cases like the Zimmerman shooting have pushed racial dissension, by offering his input before the facts were known. Now that everyone knows (though they refuse to accept) that Martin was a criminal who justifiably lost his life it makes Obama look like a fool.

 

I take the Gunny Hartman approach to racism, you are all equally worthless in my eyes.
