Obama Finally Speaks On The Ruling That Acquitted George Zimmerman Of Murder.


   Almost one week after George Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager whom he shot dead because he suspected that he was acting suspiciously according to what he (Zimmerman) gave the police as a reason for the costly act he performed, Obama finally spoke his mind concerning the judgement thus, as per telegraph:
# "There are very few African-American men who haven’t had the experience of being followed in a department store ... that includes me". # “There are very few African-American men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happened to me, at least before I was a senator".
#“There are very few African-Americans who haven’t had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often.” #“If Trayvon Martin was of age and he was armed, could he have ’stood his ground’ on that sidewalk?” #If a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, from top to bottom, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different.” #“It doesn't mean we’re in a post-racial society or that racism has been eliminated, but the situation was improving". #“Another way of saying that is, Trayvon Martin could’ve been me, 35 years ago.”
