  1. African-Americans constitute about 13% of the population, yet between 1976 and 2005 blacks committed more than half of all murders in the U.S. The black arrest rate for most offenses—including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes—is typically two to three times their representation in the population.

  2. While the NAACP convention at Orlando, Florida has become a rally point for DOJ action against George Zimmerman court verdick, the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has also joined forces with the NAACP demanding that Mr.Zimmerman be prosecuted.

    Also demanding action - the CNN network conducted conservation on "Social Engineering" with Trayvon Martin family Attorney = female Attorney Jasmine Rand, who wore a hoodie at her CNN interview demanding action from DOJ's lawyers.

  3. The two professional race-baiters like Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson are usually huddled together in the relative obscurity of the MSNBC TY Studios, swapping stories about their good old TV days. Every now and then they find an exploitable story to get themselves back in the TV spotlight. Since the Zimmerman verdict, they’ve been working overtime on MSNBC TV demanding “Justice for Trayvon.”

  4. Only problem is if they are only on MSNNBC who is actually going to see them since no one is watching.

    If they want people to see them, they need to get on Fox New which has more viewers than all the other networks combined.

  5. Who is the President of the United Stats kidding - other than the underprivileged young African-American youth being duped by Al Sharpton's into thinking that protesting George Zimmerman’s acquittal guarantees them a retrial of George Zimmerman - a second bite at the apple.

  6. Do you believe that American Citizen]s can follow or even understand thousands of pages of lawyer written legal regulations? Our forefathers were gentlemen farmers, who wrote our laws in the common English language that was short and to the point.

  7. As to the history of racism, President Obama conveniently overlooks the fact that numerous sources, including the FBI, have stated that there was no evidence of racism in George Zimmerman’s behavior.

    George Zimmerman is NOT responsible for the history of racism, nor should be held accountable for African Americans being followed in department stores, or the licking door locks, or unnecessary purse clutching.

    George Zimmerman is NOT responsible for 400 years of slavery, mob lynchings, rampant racial discrimination, or other racial outrage visited upon blacks.

  8. President Obama expanded on the acquittal of George Zimmerman at a surprise appearance at the White House briefing room, noting that he once said that if he had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin, but now revising that to his new statement that “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.”
