“Never let a good crisis go to waste”….. I knew this opportunistic false racist pile-on perpetrated by the media and exploited by the White House/Obama Campaign/Obama himself, would happen. Because the exploitation is so blatently obvious its Sickening.
The insufferable petty arrogance of the campaigner in chief is absolutely horrid. Staggeringly selfish opportunistic exploitation. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”, yeah, he’d probably be acting like him too.
Oh man, we are gonna be hearing about this story for weeks from every possible nuanced organization that relies on racism and special interest exploitation to provide their cause celeb.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — For the first time since the controversy erupted on the national scene, President Barack Obama weighed in on the killing of Trayvon Martin, calling it a tragedy, urging cooperation among law enforcement and declaring that “some soul searching” was needed throughout the country.
“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said, underscoring how the issue affected him on a personal, and not just a political or legal, level. “I think [Trayvon’s parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.” (more…)
And the 12-year-old pictures of a pee wee football playing choir boy to build sympathy is getting a little, well, annoyingly over the top. Young Mr. Martin was visiting his father after getting suspended from school. Trayvon was 17 years old when this occurred. Seventeen.
It might make the optic more appealing, but, sorry Sharpton, I remember the Tawana Brawley fiasco, and even more recently I well remember the Duke Lacrosse players rape case fraud. Optics are not always reality.
The consistent false drumbeat cries of racism and crime have diminished actionable credibility and unfortunately cast a long shadow of doubt over what could possibly be justified outrage. Perhaps some folks consider Al Sharpton a strong advocate. But many more consider him an opportunistic flamboyant Pentecostal preacher who spends $2,000 a year for hair care at Brooklyn’s Prima Donna Beauty Salon and never met a black crime he could not turn into some form of racist inquisition.
