Obama: If I Had a Son, he'd look like Trayvon

Obama on Trayvon Martin: Political Poppycock!

Your President is obviously playing election year politics with black life, trying to insure the black vote is solid so he can continue his policy of killing children around the world, e.g., Iraq,Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere too numerous to mention with the USA's trillion dollar military killing machine. If he cares so much about the sons that could be his son, why doesn't he call for an end to New York's stopping and frisking of 700,000 young black men like Trayvon Martin? After all, if they fail the "tone test" they could all end up like Trayvon. When stopped, depending on the tone of voice, black men can be arrested, released or killed.

Why doesn't he call for a general amnesty of the 2.4 million incarcerated black, brown and poor white sons locked down in the America gulags for mostly petty crimes committed while they were drug addicted and mentally ill?

Why doesn't he have a jobs program for his American sons, similar to the one he's offering the young men in Afghanistan if they will lay down their arms and pledge allegiance to the puppet Karzai regime? How can he offer the Taliban sons housing, jobs and education while his American sons are homeless, jobless, ignorant, drug addicted and mentally ill? Vote for me, I'll set you free!

Obama on Trayvon Martin: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon’

President Obama, addressing the shooting of an unarmed Florida high school student, made a personal appeal for further investigation into an incident he described as a “tragedy.”

“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said from the Rose Garden, referring to 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was killed by a neighborhood watch guard last month. “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.”


The case has stirred immense passions nationwide for its racial element: Martin, who was black, was killed by George Zimmerman, 28, a Hispanic neighbor, who has since claimed self-defense. Zimmerman has not been charged in the shooting.

Obama had refrained from commenting on the case, leaving it to Attorney General Eric Holder to navigate the details, and on Friday, Obama chose his words carefully. He did not declare the shooter guilty, and said it is “imperative that we investigate every aspect of this.”

Obama spoke directly to the parents of the young boy, who was walking back from a convenience store carrying candy and drinks when he was killed. The parents, Obama said, “are right to expect that all of us, as Americans, are going to treat this with the seriousness it deserves.”

    Did he real squeezed in all the bank-crooks who corrupted the economical system through the back-door kitchen? Can't imagine this sweet, nice guy Obama.

    The fact is; I have a son, and I'm going to tell him to respect the laws of this land. Don't walk anywhere alone. What happened to me, can happen to him. From law enforcers to neighborhood watchmen. We are stereotyped since, day one.

    "If we women are to learn to trust one another it has to be as men do...?" 

    I'm going to pass on that one.

    It is very worrying that women seem to be bowled over by Obama because of his wife whom they obviously seek to emulate, articulate and imitate. How to learn? - spare me! Obama's remark is adequately noted and dissected ny Marvin X. In a man's world... women today seem to hurry to say that as they too now live in our modern world, that men have got it all wrong. They refuse to identify real facts that create Truth. If we women are to learn to trust one another it has to be as men do - join the dots, find the facts and do not credit difference and cause as a gap between lives lived by everyone.

    But brother, can't you see that Obama is no better than those who came before and those who came after. 

  • Have you ever heard of the Big Yard? Well, you in it! The worse prison is the prison of the mind.

    How can you compare petty criminals with global  thieves and mass murderers. Do you applaud a man who goes around the world killing American citizens without charges or trial? Gimme a break.

    It ain't a fact what his son would look like. His son might come out white with blond hair and blue eyes.

    Marvin X is a great man, dedicated brother, and activist supreme.  That being said and duly noted, some of those Black, Brown, and White sons who are in the "gulags" have actually DONE something.  Some of them made conscious choices to rob other citizens of possessions which range from a television to a life or lives.  To include the Trayvon Martin with that number is an abomination and an absurd epitome of mixing the proverbial apples with oranges.  Trayvon Martin's blood was innocent, those "sons" mentioned by Mwalimu X, for the most part, are not.

    Furthermore, President Obama stated a simple fact quite simply:  If the President had a son he most likely WOULD have looked like Trayvon.  So what's wrong with that?  Additionally, Obama IS  a politician and that's the language he speaks, so how is he playing politics?  Obama doesn't PLAY politics he is actually the winner non parallel.  He went after and attained the highest political office of the United States of America.  He ain't playin'.  

    Trayvon Martin's death is the example of the continuation of the Hamitic exegesis, that God has somehow ordained that Whites, their needs, their thoughts, their actions, are somehow ecclesiastically elevated above all other people.  Zimmerman is about to get his wake up call on that accord.  

    Trayvon's death shouldn't be used to gain votes but this terrible page in our history should not be used to draw attention to the Prison Industrial Complex.  The two are so very far apart they do not even share a minutia of time.
