I don't see how anything in article relates to Obama and any kind of "race baiting" on his part. I don't know if you actua lly watch the news, or perhaps the area where you live isn't getting the same coverage, but the young man's parents have been on the national news, as well as many, many others who believe this crime to be racially motivated, particularly given the shooters comments on the 911 tapes. But, we can't really know what is in someone else's head or heart, unless they choose to share. BTW, all of the 911 tapes related to this case are on the web. There are about 35 minutes worth -- not just his call to 911, but also neighbors who called in while the situation was unfolding.
I doubt anything that Obama said or didn't say has influenced the rallies and other gatherings in Florida and across the country. Anyone who doesn't think that there must be a heartfelt issue in this country regarding the profiling of young back men must have been living in a hole for a long time. And you do realize that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the leaders of the Black Caucus are as much engaged in this issue and specifically in the Martin case, as anyone. The young man's parents are speaking out and engaging national media outlets to keep this case on the national plate. Perhaps any of us would do the same if we felt that a family member, particularly a child, had been killed and nothing was being done about it.
