“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,”

The President said that if he had a son he would be Treyvon Martin.  Some folks got their panties in a bunch about this.  The President was bringing in race.  He was using this tragedy for political gain.  He was wrong, since his son would be wealthy and protected by the Secret Service.  The President, however, was right on target.  He had to say something … I mean everyone else has.  He’s a politician, so he is going to say stuff for political reasons.  He is also black, and if he had a son and that boy dressed in anything but a suit, someone would find him to be threatening on a dark street.  Hell, if Sasha put on a pair of jeans and an old sweatshirt and walked down a dark street at night she would frighten someone.  That’s just the facts of life.   When Obama won the election, militia membership increased.  I’m sure that was because they were gathering to oppose the Presidents love of basketball.  The President made a true statement, a simple and profound one, why can’t we just leave it at that.
