The issue is not White vs Black the Issue is America vs Obama.

When I went to South Philadelphia High School we had racial riots in the school in the 1960's No one mentioned these riots nor was anything done to the black students who stabbed the white students. Obama hasn't mentioned white students who have been shot by blacks or by black gangs. Hate is hate no matter what color you are.
Stop the racial comments by removing a person who wants to divide this country to white verses black. Obama is looking for a full revolution or civil unrest so he could be full Dictator. The issue is not White vs Black the Issue is America vs Obama.

Obama: ‘Soul Searching’ Needed in Teen’s Death

In the Rose Garden on Friday, President Obama said the country needs to do soul searching on the death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, saying: “You know if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
President Barack Obama on Friday called for a full investigation into the shooting of an unarmed African-American teenager in Florida, saying the U.S. needs to do some “soul searching” to determine what led to his death and wading into an issue that has prompted sharp backlash throughout the nation.
The president, speaking in the White House Rose Garden, said what happened to Trayvon Martin is a “tragedy” and “I can only imagine what these parents are going through.”
“I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happened, and that means we examine the laws, and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident,” the president said.
“But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” the president said. He said the shooting was a tragedy and “when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.” The president has two daughters.
Mr. Martin was shot to death last month by a neighborhood-watch captain in Florida. His death has raised widespread questions about Florida’s laws and raised concerns that his shooting was possibly racially motivated.
Mr. Obama, who was in the Rose Garden to announce his nominee to head the World Bank, said he had to be careful with his remarks so as not to impair the investigations. He said he wants a thorough investigation into the incident, including an examination of a controversial law in Florida that gives people protection when they feel threatened.
The shooting has caused widespread backlash against a 2005 Florida law, including marches and protests in cities around Florida and in New York. The shooting has also led to calls for the arrest of the George Zimmerman, the neighborhood-watch captain in Sanford, Fla., who shot Mr. Martin.
Mr. Zimmerman hasn’t been arrested, and analysts say it’s because of a 2005 Florida law called “Stand Your Ground” by supporters and “Shoot First” by critics. The law eliminates the need for people to retreat in the face of an attack and allows them to respond with deadly force if they believe they are in danger.
The president rarely comments on racially divisive issues. In 2009, the president caught a lot of criticism for saying police “acted stupidly” in arresting Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in Cambridge, Mass. A neighbor told police she thought someone was breaking into the professor’s home. Mr. Gates told the arresting officer, a white man named Sgt. James Crowley, that it was his home.
Mr. Gates berated the officer and was arrested for disorderly conduct. Mr. Gates later accused the police of racism.
The president later said he regretted his remarks, and drank beer with Mr. Gates and Mr. Crowley at the White House to calm tensions.
