Hi, SwizzleStick,
While this did not exactly surprise me … it was interesting to actually read this. Here is a quote:
"A prominent professor at Vanderbilt University is defending remarks made recently by a Southern Baptist official in connection with the Trayvon Martin killing in Florida.
Leading public policy expert for the Southern Baptist Convention, Dr. Richard Land, said on his national radio show recently that civil rights advocates Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are creating what he called a “mob mentality” and that President Barack Obama is using the killing for his own political gain.
“This will be vetted in court, not in a mob mentality that’s been juiced up by Al Sharpton, who is a provocateur and a racial ambulance chaser of the first order, and aided and abetted by Jesse Jackson,” Land said. And on Obama’s statement that, if he had a son, the son would look like the 17-year-old shooting victim, Land stated: “The president’s aides claim he was showing compassion for the victim’s family. In reality, he poured gasoline on the racialist fires.”
Carol M. Swain, a professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University, tells OneNewsNow that she sees nothing wrong with Land’s comments.
“All of the media publicity and the interviews and almost like the non-stop coverage has done nothing but really cause people to polarize into camps,” she observes, describing those camps as “those who are defending Zimmerman and those who feel like they have to get justice for Trayvon.”
God bless
