A month after they went missing, the bodies of two young black women have been found in a shallow grave in Detroit. Oh, but surprise, surprise: the suspects in the case are a couple of black guys. Nothing to see, here, folks; move along.
In other news, this guy gets it:
Former NAACP leader C.L. Bryant is accusing Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton of “exploiting” the Trayvon Martin tragedy to “racially divide this country.”
The conservative black pastor who was once the chapter president of the Garland, Texas NAACP called Jackson and Sharpton “race hustlers” and said they are “acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy.”
He also criticized President Obama for his “nebulous statement” responding to Martin’s death that “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
“What does that mean?” Bryant asked. “What was the purpose in that?”
The purpose should, by now, be clear: Obama has an established history of jumping into local events, before the facts are even clear, in order to stir the pot and deepen divisions. We saw him do that at the very beginning of his term in office, when he leaped into the temporary detention of Professor Henry Louis Gates. Gates, you may recall, broke into his own home, and an alert neighbor summoned police. When asked for identification, Gates was uncooperative; responding with undue belligerence, and was therefore taken into custody until the matter could be sorted out.
Obama immediately jumped in, claiming that police had "acted stupidly"; a position from which he ultimately had to retreat.
He involved himself in the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords, calling for civility in speech, even as his minions continued their inflammatory and divisive rhetoric.
And of course, more recently he stood up on behalf of the Fluke, who was bullied by a mean and vicious conservative talk-show host, while ignoring the repeated and far more vicious attacks by Leftists against conservative women. Obama likes to portray himself in his speeches as a uniter; his actions, at every turn throughout his term in office, belie his words.
