It is what he said. Are you really that ill informed after all the news and even threads on this forum? |

Just how involved did the President get in the Trayvon Martin case? Which people, when and how have they been attacked "simply for being white because of Obama"? Who's LE?
Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the "Black Lives Matter movement" reaction to too many black people being shot and killed unnecessarily by police officers? I'd guess that some of those officers may have been black but the vast majority weren't.
Possibly by having been born and raised in the U.S., visiting it for extended periods and by reading. |

Please tell us in what way it was "one of the most race filled posts we have seen on this board in a long time"? |

Please inform me. I have no recollection of the President saying anything inappropriate. |

Then you should get informed before commenting. We talked about it on this forum for days, it was in the news for weeks. Hint:"if I had a son he would look just like Trayvon" |

Yes, the President made that statement. I found nothing wrong with it. |

And it was quite likely true. My sons both look a lot like me - are all the people who mention it to me racists too? |

Neut, you're wasting your time. You're arguing with Canadian arrogant hypocrisy. Canada's Race Problem? It's even worse than America's. For a country so self-satisfied with its image of progressive tolerance, how is this not a national crisis? I'm guessing that if the Canadian elite ignore it, it ain't there. In Canada it appears that it's not so much a case of a "resurgence of old-fashioned racism" as it is a case of an "old-fashioned racism" situation that's never left. (the source of the collection of facts displayed in the chart comes from Statistics Canada; Office of the Correctional Investigator; The Lancet; Health Canada; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; U.S. Census Bureau; U.S. Dept. of Justice; U.S. Dept. of Health; Centers of Disease Control; National Center for Educational Statistics) |

Of course not. The allegation is made strictly by right wing propagandists and the followers of such. |

In my opinion, every human being is a racist to a degree. I honestly thought it was racist for the democrats to choose Obama over much high qualified candidates for office, based on his race. At the time I was unaware of his true agenda, which saddens me to this day. |
