Reply To: The Silence is Deafening!

writersoul -“Obama doesn’t really NEED to respond. The tragedy involved France and Israel, and the US had NOTHING to do with it. On the contrary, this case took place in the US and does touch upon race relations which CAN BE relevant.”

Just the opposite, since it’s politics with another country -any comments he made or would make – would remain a political commentary. OTOH his comments here is Not just a political comment -he happens to be in charge of Upholding federal law in this country. I don’t know if you are aware of this?!?

I actually think he possibly violated our Constitution by taking sides.

There actually is a process of how the Justice Dept. gets involved with possible Civil Rights violations to investigate. The State usually calls them; if they don’t there has to be some sort of obvious misconduct on the part of the State. Not taking alcohol and/or drug levels on the accused doesn’t cut it. And saying because it was one race possibly killing another race is Not a reason, unless they investigated every single case of race on race crime. Since they don’t, if this is the reason why they are getting involved here -this is a flagrant violation of our Constitution!

“There is no reason why a member of one minority can’t be prejudiced against members of another. You’ll find many cases– nobody wants to be on the bottom, so you have to make someone else at the bottom.”

This is true. But do you have any reason not to believe the accused and his father who claim otherwise? You can’t just call s/o a racist because it’s possible for him to be one!
