“You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”

Every year thousands of adolescents are raped, abused, or murdered.  Virtually none of them look like our President.   Barack Obama never makes public comments personalizing their tragedies.  So, why now and what is he really saying when he says, “You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”?

Of course, we need a little context.  First, the comment occurrs in the midst of the President’s latest sustained campaigning-rather-than-governing blitzkrieg.   Second, at this moment, every media outlet in America is  suffused with items devoted to the senseless killing of Tryvon Martin.  Third, every civil rights race monger in the country is either saying or strongly implying that Tryvon died because he was black.  And fourth, Bill Lee, the white chief of the Sanford Police Department, is being excoriated because he did not arrest the alleged perpetrator quickly enough.   In short, the Tryvon Martin “case” provides a perfect opportunity for Obama to do what he does best:  exploit a racially-charged situation for his own personal political gain while displaying uncharacteristic emotional sensitivity in the process.

When President Obama asserts that he sees Tryvon “looking like” the son he never had, what does that mean?  Perhaps the statement is nothing more than Barack’s typical preoccupation with race as the defining element in personality.  After all, Barack Obama calls himself “a black man,” always conveniently forgetting that his heritage at least back as far as the Neolithic Period is as much white as black, and that every chromosome in his body contains as many white as black genes.  Given his irrational racial mentation, then, we should expect Barack to find communion with a black boy senselessly shot down in the street.   On the other hand, what if Tryvon had been white?   Would Obama then have perceived a white 17-year-old as the son he never had?    Would Obama have been so strongly moved?

How about the assailant?  Imagine if a black man had shot down a white teen, as so often happens.  Would there have been the outrage, media attention, and political posturing that we see today?   Would the President and his handlers have calculated that this is the time, place, and situation for Barack Obama to reveal his intense personal anguish over the crime?

One last thought. 

“You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon” might remind you of a previous racial Obamafuscation.   Roll back the DVD.  After a Juy 16, 2009 temper tantrum-like tirade, Barack's black buddy, Henry Louis Gates, was detained on suspicion of breaking into a home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.   To paraphrase myself, every civil rights race monger in the country was either saying or strongly implying that Gates was bullied by police because he is black.  That is, all the political, race-pandering conditions surrounding the Trayvon Martin situation obtained in the Henry Louis Gates situation.  And Barack Obama, how did he respond on July 22, 2009?  Just as he is responding today.  You probably remember: Barack  personalized the event, suggesting that he, his self, would “probably get shot” trying to “break into” the White House or into his house in Chicago. 

Given the life-long, extreme, race-based deprivation and oppression that Barack Hussein Obama has suffered at the hands of the wicked white establishment, we can understand his obsessive race-oriented ruminations.  And we can accept that he never fails to remind us of his racial heartache when the reminding can be twisted to his political advantage.
