Quote:Because they don't like when the President says he's a black man, or says he can relate to Trayvon, or that he understands the black experience. Obama doesn't hide from his blackness, or his black wife, or his daughters. He is a proud African American, who owns what he is. By empathizing with Trayvon he was saying he understood that blacks get profiled, and that if he had a son he would have to have the conversation that all responsible black fathers have to have with their sons, that America has come a long way but there is still a legacy of racism that exists today. And let's be honest, many on the right don't want to hear this kind of dialogue either through guilt, ignorance, or a combination of both. They call it playing the victim.
