Thank god OJ Simpson was white

only reason this got attention is because obama is pushing a gun ban... why is he pushing a gun ban? well if the police and military are the only ones with guns then he has more control, anyone remember hitler?

"having too much freedom is not freedom at all" ~Barack Obama

although it is an inspiration and very positive thing for many African Americans for this person to be president, he is not who he appears.

We have no clue what happened. We have no idea who attacked who. We can say comfortably that this child was followed, stalked and most likely attacked by Zimmerman. Zimmerman a want a be cop who was looking for an opportunity to kill someone. And knew because of Florida's laws that he could get away with it.

It isn't any surprise that homicides have increased significantly in Florida. You have every nut job with a gun knowing they can get away with murder. Zimmerman is just another example of that.

It is a sad indictment of our society that we glorify killing people and have passed laws legalizing the hunting down of anyone they feel like and knowing they can get away with it.

Obama just spoke at a White House news briefing about an hour or so ago regarding the Zimmerman verdict. He wondered that if Trayvon were white would the outcome (verdict) would have been different...he also implied that whites should view this from the perspective of blacks...He talked about the racial disparity in our laws. The only thing I view right now is that Barack Obama is himself racist and irresponsible as a president...His comments do nothing for race relations but stoke the racial fires...even the liberal Juan Williams called Obama's comments "risky"...

It's racist to notice and say aloud that white people have privilege in this country that black people do not? I guess Martin Luther King Jr. was super racist.

You're trolling, right?

Comparing 60's to 2013, but ok. Tell about these privileges that blacks don't have.

Where did I say that White people have privilege? It's not racist for White people to vocalize their displeasure with the hypocrisies and biased unfair reporting in the media, especially with the media lynching of Zimmerman.

I hadn't heard of that public service announcement, i've chosen not to listen to anything he says because i have identified him as a person who promotes hatred.

for the record, Zimmerman is of the Hispanic race, this is not a white/black issue but obama has twisted it to be so....sad

I don't remember Obama specifically making it that. The media certainly did. If neither the media, nor Obama did, the public would've still made it out to be one, anyway. It was unavoidable.
