Maybe he commented on Trayvon because it is a personal issue for him, being a man of color? Because the president (any president) is in a unique position to be able speak on issues, and we have never had a person of color in the white house who can share his unique experiences with being profiled?
But he did so before the trial. He personified with him. He identified with him. Referred to him as "son". I think that's why so many American's became outraged. I never got involved in that case bc I didn't like the hate. Hate on both sides. I didn't like how each side was made out to be. There was no happy medium. Nobody met in the middle and respect was thrown out the window. I still haven't talked to one of my neighbors bc of what she said about one of the people involved. Wen people start talking trash, you see their real true side. If its ugly, I stay away. I don't do ugly in my inner circle kwim? The media created the firestorm in that case and they should have been held accountable. The media is who created that race war. It totally sucked.
