Ok...just watched most of it and it's a pretty decent speech.. but it was to 'high-brow' for redneck-billy-bob to understand.. The people he is speaking for 'get it'.. the people we're seeing come out of the racist-woodwork don't and won't. They can't conceive of the idea that blacks get followed in stores.. that women clutch their purses and hold their breathe in elevators.. they can't conceive that all blacks are painted with a 'thug' or 'violent' brush simply because some are... whereas we've never had a black serial killer, but you don't see the same people following or holding their breath when 25-35 year old, white men come upon them..
the same people can't conceive that the black community understands that statically speaking TM could have been shot by a black youth before being shot by a Zimmerman.. and while they understand this, they can't understand why nothing happened when an innocent was out for a box of skittles lost his life because a man decided to pursue and confront him..the idiot inbred can't distinguish this kind of subtly..
so yes, it was a great speech but it was lost on the ones he was trying to reach.. I mean hell, Ted Cruz, without even hearing the speech condemned Obama for trying to steal our guns.. without even seeing the speech his comment was
"“It is not surprising that the president uses, it seems, every opportunity that he can to go after our Second Amendment right to bear arms,” the Texas Republican said. “This president and this administration has a consistent disregard for the Bill of Rights.”"uh, hey dumbass.. no he isn't and this speech had sooo little to do with the 2nd amendment that you should really stfu before making an ass out of yourself.. oh wait, your supporters believe the bullshit you're selling regardless of its basis in reality anyway so it really doesn't matter how far up your ass your head is when you comment does it?
so yeah.. good speech but won't reach who he wanted to reach and he will be slaughtered by the whackos as a 'race-biter-in-chief' over this..
my bitch is this part from his speech..
And for those who -- who resist that idea, that we should think about something like these Stand Your Ground laws, I just ask people to consider, if Trayvon Martin was of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk? And do we actually think that he would have been justified in shooting Mr. Zimmerman, who had followed him in a car, because he felt threatened? And if the answer to that question is at least ambiguous, then it seems to me that we might want to examine those kinds of laws.
No Mr.President he couldn't have.. that was the whole crux of the case to begin with.. So if he couldn't have stood his ground with his fists.. he sure as hell couldn't have with a gun..
