President Obama made an official statement about Trayvon Martin a few days ago, treading very carefully and coming off diplomatic. Now the President has made a second statement, this one deeply personal, in regards to his own experiences with race and profiling. He even says at one point, “There are very few African-American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me.” As we all know, this is big for Obama because he rarely speaks about race and always speaks diplomatically. This is a must-see. Check out the video after the jump.
