The President's Amazing Impromptu Speech on Trayvon Martin
Now the President's saying Trayvon could've been me 35 years ago. This is a particularly helpful comment. Is that the president admitting that I guess because what, he was part of the Choom Gang and he smoked pot and he did a little blow — I'm not sure how to interpret because we know that Trayvon had been smoking pot that night.
~ Sean Hannity of Fox News
Shorter Obama: Look at me! America is racist.

Obama helped ignite this ginned up racial melee by saying his son would look like Trayvon. Now he says he could have been Trayvon.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) July 19, 2013
Obama: "Trayvon Martin could have been me." This president exploits every tragedy and makes EVERYTHING about himself. Classic Marxist. #tcot

On July 19, 2013 President Obama lowered himself to the race-baiting levels of Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson & liberal media swooned #tcot #p2

I like living in a country where a black president elected twice complains about racism.

The only reason people lock their car doors when Obama walks by is they are afraid he'll tax them to death...

We’ve been having this “honest convo about race” since I was a kid. It’s consisted of people screaming how everyone is racist.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) July 20, 2013
@GaltsGirl Sorry Mr. President...Trayvon wasn't killed because of how he looked. He was killed because of his violent behavior. #tcot #p2

I want to publicly apologize to President Obama for locking my doors and holding onto my wallet while riding the NYC subway.
— toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) July 19, 2013
Trayvon's mom: "Not about race." Prosecutor: "Not about race." FBI: "Not about race." Obama: "It's all about race."
— toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) July 19, 2013
Obama's comments today justify what I said on Hannity earlier this week. He truly is trying to tear our country apart.
— toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) July 19, 2013
"Why is Obama making the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a crazy racist all about race?" ask crazy white conservatives

Obama’s safe, overrated and airy speech
The president's remarks gave us context to the episode, but not a single opinion on the issues that brought us here
By Rich Benjamin
When people hold their breadth for your imminent words, isn’t it exasperating when you open your mouth, but don’t say much?
Finally the president has spoken about George Zimmerman’s acquittal. Even as the country waited for his singular response – the nation’s leader and a law professor who once looked like Trayvon Martin – the president danced around the issues. And what a dramatic anti-climax, listening to the president refuse to say anything insightful or profound about the acquittal. In signature professorial style, the president gave us the “context” to the episode and to black people’s “pain.” But he didn’t offer a meaningful opinion on the episode’s hot molten core: racial profiling, vigilantism, and “Stand Your Ground” laws.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder delivered trenchant thoughts on the acquittal, demanding action. Before an audience of supporters, Holder recently called for a full investigation of Martin’s death after Zimmerman’s acquittal. Holder vowed that the Justice Department will act “in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law. We will not be afraid.”
“We must stand our ground,” he told supporters.
Some of us have an Inner Child. Others have an Inner Nigger. Is Holder the president’s conscience? Or his Inner Nigger?
Is Holder the president’s aggressive internal mind and voice — willing to speak truth to power, but unbothered with appearing like an angry black man?
@profblmkelley @Salon @djshiva And article was sadly by an African-American writer.
— Teresa (@TeresaKopec) July 20, 2013
Yes, this is now on Salon (by @RichBenjaminUSA): "Is Holder the president’s conscience? Or his Inner Nigger?" No words.

Salon is having a moment. That moment when you realize you need more black editors... Or at least one...
— Joy Reid (@TheReidReport) July 20, 2013
Dear @salon: Would love to know which editor was responsible for approving the Benjamin piece?
— Soledad O'Brien (@Soledad_OBrien) July 20, 2013
@AmyZQuinn @SnarkAmendment @Salon I've been holding my breadth since I read it.
— Shar_76 (@shar76) July 20, 2013
Has @Salon's site been hacked? That's a serious question...
— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) July 20, 2013
As a former Salon staffer I know the place values contrarianism, but a line was crossed here. That piece assaults common sense.
— Matt Zoller Seitz (@mattzollerseitz) July 20, 2013
.@salon TAKE IT DOWN. http://t.co/czl7dgs9HG #DAMN
— Goldie Taylor (@goldietaylor) July 20, 2013
I don't even know what to say. Why would a progressive site publish a piece re: POTUS' "inner n-word"?
— Goldie Taylor (@goldietaylor) July 20, 2013
Damn, you spend all day watching your right... when you should've been checking up on your left...
— Goldie Taylor (@goldietaylor) July 20, 2013
At this point @Salon should rename itself "White Liberal Bullshit Weekly."
— Elon James White (@elonjames) July 20, 2013
Wow. And @Salon--do you guys not have editors? What editor in their right mind sees "Inner Nigger" and thinks "Publish this ASAP."
— Elon James White (@elonjames) July 20, 2013
That awkward moment when @salon joins the Teaparty/Rush Limbaugh brigade. The Internet never forgets.
— KSK(africa) (@lawalazu) July 20, 2013
I'm old enough to remember when @salon was a great site and not just white privileged with touch of racism Internet troll. Go to hell.
— BWD (@theonlyadult) July 20, 2013
Even my inner cracker can see @Salon has no idea what it is anymore, unless they've decided it's just another link-bait site.
— William K. Wolfrum (@Wolfrum) July 20, 2013
I look forward to the post-mortem stories about how #BlackTwitter shut down @Salon.
— allanbrauer (@allanbrauer) July 20, 2013
Liberals tweeting each other over that @Salon article look like the ending of Reservoir Dogs, but with racecards instead of guns.
— MexyNado (@SooperMexican) July 20, 2013
Who's the real POTUS? The one who decries racism or the one who promotes an architect of systemic racism? http://t.co/ywwm5tvqE4
— David Sirota (@davidsirota) July 19, 2013
Obama's historic words are contradicted by many of his actions - maybe today is a turning point. Lets hope. http://t.co/5SpAiBgnDe
— David Sirota (@davidsirota) July 19, 2013
Both Sirota and Salon let out their inner crackers this week.

David Sirota strikes again... insinuates Obama policies tended to be racist until today. #repost http://t.co/vjQkPstXuy

I just don't get these ppl. They think their concerns are all that matters and yours and mine are inconsequential.

Anyone tweeting about what Obama *didn't* say can be dismissed from the grown-ups table.

I write this, then up pops Tavis Smiley: https://t.co/hbCZJvCQu2
— allanbrauer (@allanbrauer) July 19, 2013
Took POTUS almost a week to show up and express mild outrage. And still, it was as weak as pre-sweetened Kool-Aid.
— Tavis Smiley (@tavissmiley) July 19, 2013
Another forced lecture on race. And STILL skirting his MORAL responsibility to lead on the most vexing societal issue. #TrayvonMartin
— Tavis Smiley (@tavissmiley) July 19, 2013
POTUS still kicking the race can down the road. His lack of courage and leadership on this issue is emotionally debilitating. #TrayvonMartin
— Tavis Smiley (@tavissmiley) July 19, 2013
It's 2013 and @TavisSmiley is still mad at not being given tickets by POTUS to his 09 inauguration. Green is not a good color on you Tavis.
— Nerdy Wonka (@NerdyWonka) July 19, 2013
Still shaking my head over Tavis and his "Kool-Aid" remark...
— Goldie Taylor (@goldietaylor) July 19, 2013
@JeffersonObama You are in denial. Obama is not a progressive. He is not a liberal. He's not a real Democrat. There are few good ones left.
— Lee Adler (@Lee_Adler) July 20, 2013
@esposa_de_oliva @JeffersonObama But your dear leader has brainwashed you. He's a nihilist. He stands for nothing.

LOL Lee Adler is a senile, nasty old dried-up thing. Narcissists don't age well, apparently.
— Scott Finley (@TheScottFinley) July 20, 2013
Laughing my ass off at the delusions of grandeur/Norma Desmond impersonation emanating from @Lee_Adler's spooged-crusted keyboard.

#tcot the president said the blacks are use to racial profiling. Yet the NSA profiles all of us. Obama is the single worst president ever.
— Scott (@Scotty_Leon) July 20, 2013
Obama's speech was good, but just words once again. Why not make weed legal and empty prisons of the African-Americans who are incarcerated?
— edward caesar (@edwardcaesar) July 19, 2013
I could care less about obama's speech because 99/100 he's not going to do anything to cause justice. Just say fancy words.
— Nu Gamma Tr3 (@LLBJ_theGREAT) July 19, 2013
@Juanldwfa Look at the actions of the individuals not the words. Obama is just like the rest of them
— A fox o.O (@fanexfox) July 19, 2013
A lot of Obama's harshest liberal/progressive critics miss having someone like GWB in the WH to feed their persecution complex. #p2

So, Emotopians wanted a conversation on race, but only if Dudebros get to run the discussion...

What if the NSA had spied on Trayvon Martin? Can you imagine anything worse? I can't.
