They're getting damned blatant...

Yes, John Craft has a constitutional right to post this on his personal Facebook wall. The problem is that his boss, Eric Holder, just announced sweeping plans to roll back racial disparities in our criminal justice system.


Holder’s plans won’t work unless prosecutors like John Craft fall in line:

Beaumont office will 'look into' assistant's online comments about Obama, Trayvon Martin
By Brooke Crum | August 13, 2013 | Updated: August 13, 2013 10:45pm


The U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas said he will "look into" derogatory comments about minorities and President Barack Obama posted on Facebook by a Beaumont-based assistant U.S. attorney.

John Craft, an attorney in the criminal division, posted comments on a private Facebook page in response to a status update backing stand your ground laws. He made reference to Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in a July trial of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges.

Craft wrote: "How are you fixed for Skittles and Arizona watermelon fruitcocktail (and maybe a bottle of Robitussin, too) in your neighborhood? I am fresh out of "purple drank." So, I may come by for a visit. In a rainstorm. In the middle of the night. In a hoodie. Don't get upset or anything if you see me looking in your window ... kay?"

Makes me sad there are so many ignorant, intolerant people around.

2. Jerk, and outrageous that he would do this,

considering he's not exactly anonymous, and his important public position.

7. Right.

He has the right to be held accountable for the racist shit he says/types.

6. 7:30 PM is the middle of the night

only when racists see a black teenager

9. Yup ...

... and a light drizzle is a rainstorm. Just don't confuse them with facts. A broad outline is all they need; their prejudice will fill in the rest.

10. Hasn't anyone else seen how much more blatant

the racism has gotten since the Zimmerman verdict? Or is it just me?

Instead of rewriting my thoughts on this, I'll use this.......
