What Obama didn't say

Talk to any black person and they'll tell you they too lock their car doors when a black approaches their car. They too clutch their valuables a little tighter when a black youth in a hoodie gets on the elevator. We all profile and it goes all directions.
When I see that the bank takes some money in the form of 'fees' from one of my accounts in hopes that I won't notice, I'm pretty sure the person I'm looking for is a white guy in a suit.
When I am in the south of France or Paris, blacks cause me no alarm, but Moroccans, Tunisians and Algerians are the ones to look out for.
When I am in Prague and want to take a cab, I look out for Russians. And so it goes.
Profiling isn't a race thing, it's just common sense and experience.
The 2nd thing, is all of this kumbaya non-violence bull. If Trayvon didn't 'get violent' in the first place he'd still be buying Skittles today. He isn't momma's little baby by a longshot and it's insulting to all children of all races to pretend he was.
An armed society is a polite society. 20 years ago, I had no problem, walking up to your car window and telling you how you drive like an idiot. But today, I let it slide. I'm 6'4" 250lbs and few juries would have a problem seeing how my approaching anyone would be 'threatening'. We all make bumble moves in traffic from time to time (me too) and it's not worth dying over.
I'm armed and assume most everyone else is armed. Good day, good evening, how ya doin mam?
These are the lessons Trayvon's mother should have been teaching him. That would have been "justice for Trayvon".
