Title: Trayvon Martin Was No Innocent Content: The New American On Friday President Obama, in an informal briefing in the Rose Garden instead of the usual press room of the White House, reiterated his earlier statement that Trayvon Martin, the young man killed in the Sanford, Florida, shooting in February 2012, “could have been my son.” Said Obama: You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. And then he expanded on his remarks in which he attempted to describe the experience many young black men allegedly have in today’s society: There are very few African American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. via Before It's News | Top 50 stories http://beforeitsnews.com/top50.html
