Email us and let us know what you think at friends foxnews. Com. Steve yesterday eric holder was at the Naacp Convention down in the orlando area. While he did not address the fact that the department of justice is looking into whether or not George Zimmerman violated Trayvon Martins civil rights, because there so far has been no evidence that he has done that, he did attack the stand your ground laws which are in about 30 states right now. He also talked a little bit about how clearly zimmerman targeted, profiled mr. Trayvon martin, and at the same time he talked a little bit the attorney general did about how he, eric holder, was profiled when growing up. He was stopped twice on the new jersey turnpike and also pulled over in georgetown just for running after dark. Brian he used this opportunity, the naacp, hes the first attorney general, africanamerican heritage, but to talk about this in ways that could be more divisive than in ways that could unite. I thought it was interesting he couldnt look at the trial and see something blatantly wrong in which the trial was conducted, the rule of law was put forward. However, when he decides to, unlike the president , focus on guns, he focused on stand your ground. It was fascinating to see that according to reports published in the daily caller today, when it comes to the stand your ground rule, black floridians have benefited disproportionately from it in terms of homicides. In terms of the stand your ground claims in the homicide cases went towards, to the side of africanamericans. And that is disproportionately high compared to the population in florida. So the law has helped africanamericans in that state. Steve the fact that eric holder would bring up his own personal experience and talk a little bit about how he was profiled when he was growing up, George Zimmerman profiled, he said, Trayvon Martin. And then he got really personal and he talked about how when he was a kid eric holders father, who was from barbados, told him that any time youre around the police, youve got to act very carefully. Here now the attorney general yesterday in orlando. Trayvons death last spring caused me to sit down and have a conversation with my own 15yearold son like my dad did with me. This was a fatherson tradition i hoped would not need to be handed down. I am his father, and it is my responsibility not to burden him with the baggage of eras long gone but to make him aware of the world that he must still confront. Its time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of selfdefense and sews danger in our neighborhood. Anna people are wondering why the white house is continuing to push this issue when the f. B. I. Didnt find any evidence and neither did any of the jurors apparently that George Zimmerman was doing any sort of racial profiling or was a racist himself. More and more africanamerican are starting to come out and theyre frustrated with the medias push for racism in this case. Lets listen to alan west. When we continue to have people that are saying racial profiling, racial profiling, if you continue to promulgate that phrase, people are going t it. Thats where the media comes in. That jury was absolutely correct, as a lawyer. I dont want to mention names like Melissa Harris perry tell people im holding my black children tighter tonight. No, theyre not. Not at all because zimmerman was tried, found innocent of these charges and that woman who says god is a racist is embarrassing for me as an africanamerican to hear juan williams, msnbc, cnn talk about this case as a race case. The facts were decided correctly on this case. And dont try to say this case was wrong and dont use this case as a race case unless youre trying to hustle people to make money. Im sick of this. Steve the whole element of the race hustlers is out there as well. You know what . When you take a look at what you do hear on some channels and you hear on the radio as well and you look at some of the headlines, it does look as if they are drumming up tension across the countries. From the baltimore sun, witnesses claim this is for trayvon in beating. In baltimore in the examiner, white man reportedly beaten by back youth. This is for Trayvon Martin. In milwaukee, you can see that. In the miami herald, police say a man claims that there was an assault after the zimmerman verdict. That was in mississippi. Anna these are incidents making headlines. Of course there are incidents that dont make national news. A lot of that is because the liberal media doesnt want to its not a money maker for them and doesnt make them hraod gook. And they have been look good and they have been accused here recently of making this worse. Actually from the beginning, from the 911 tape that was doctored from nbc, that got this whole thing started and got the race issue on the table. George zimmerman is hispanic. Hes a white hispanic, as we are now starting to calling him. But if he had been going by a different name steve were not. Anna jorge or Something Like that, his birth name brian his family made a conscious decision not to bring up his hispanic heritage while the trial was going on. A columnist came out and had something to say. Can we get over the fact that this trial is about race . In honesty it wasnt about race, wasnt about guns. It was a misjudgment. Here is his quote. Yesterday i was going to illustrate the perils of racial profiling but i hadnt followed the case in detail. So i sat down and watched the closing arguments. Nearly seven hours of video. Turned out i was wrong about many things. The initial portrait about zimmerman as a racist was completely unsubstantiated. He is a khroplist with he is a columnist withslate. Steve the attorney general wants to see the stand your ground laws changed. The problem is in those states the department of justice has little they can do over them because they are state laws. So the change it would have come at the state level. Brian lets see where the president goes with this. I think hes backing out. The attorney general didnt say call for a retrial. I expect the Justice Department to do something this week. Straight ahead, have you seen it . It is the exact moment a sixyearold boy finds out his dad is coming home from afghanistan. [crying] brian wait until you see what happens when his dad actually comes home. Anna remember when the president said we have to share the wealth . Stuart varney has evidence that policy is hurting the folks who voted him into office. Well talk about that coming up.

One leftwing Advocacy Group criticizing president obama in what was supposed to be the fourth year of an economic recovery but thats not been the case. Since president obamas inauguration, wages of lowincome workers have taken a huge hits dropping as much as 5 . With 20 million unemployed or underkphroeud underemployed has the president s base reached the breaking point. Stuart varney is here to weigh in. This is a left wing group, the National Employment law project run by activists and union members, run by jarrett bernstein. It is a leftist group saying, look, the president s policies have not worked for the people who voted for him. Lowincome workers you saw from the graphic they are worse off now. 5 worse off than they were on inauguration day. Brian they say according to this study, the biggest hits taking from people who earn between 10. 51 cents and 12. 41 an hour. Food preparation workers you saw the list. Home health aides, personal care aides, maids, housekeepers, they are 5 worse off. It is clear that the president s policy of tax the rich and redistribute, regulate wall street, regulate the banks, regulate the health care system, regulate energy, it has not worked. Brian what do you say to people who say thats what happens when you inherit a mess . The economy was going down. He did indeed inherit a mess, but the policies he put in place to fix it have not worked for the very people who voted for him. You cannot say that youve rerpbd america to prosperity youve returned america to prosperity when lowincome people are losing ground. In fact, that same study found upper income professionals are losing ground. Their wages and salaries down 2 in purchasing power. The policy of redistribution, all government, all the time has not worked. Brian stuart, being you say it has not worked, who do you blame . Do you blame congress or the president who has not passed anything significant since the stimulus package . The president set the tone. All government all the time. Regulate, regulate, regulate. It has not worked. I blame the president and his policies. Thats me, my important. Brian jarred bernstein used to work for Vice President biden who wants to be president biden.

Leaders in the Africanamerican Community just gathered in orlando, florida, for the Naacp Convention. They are calling on the Justice Department to file charges against George Zimmerman for a federal civil rights violation. Our next guests say their own civil rights were violated at that same convention. They say for being conservative. Joining us is Fox News Contributor and author of backlash and her husband, a senior fellow. Good morning. You were blacklisted from the Naacp Convention . Absolutely. Ive been blacklisted for a number of years because ive been trying to get the naacp to come out and take a stand when black conservatives are criticized and targeted because of our views. All i want to do was talk about people empowering themselves, how they can be selfsufficient and not rely on others, not rely on government. But on the flip side, thats what the naacp and the rest of the black liberal establishment does not want the black community to hear. They want blacks to be victims and to think theres racism and they cant get ahead and really its a lie. Steve you guys wanted to at tpbd and perhaps speak attend and perhaps speak and at least have a table and what were you told . We work with Freedom Works and wanted to be part of the exhibit hall. We were willing to pay as a nonprofit to have a booth there. We were told there was no room for us. Clearly when we went there, we took shots, there was a lot of rooms. Since when does a nonprofit reject money . Steve how could you possibly skaoez into that exhibit hall squeeze into that skpeubt hall. Exhibit hall. It is concerning because a lot of message we heard was victimization. Our country is an exceptional country. We have a wealth of opportunities available but it is up to people to work hard and pursue these opportunities. But the message that was communicated from the naacp and others on the liberal side is not about empowering ones self. They were trying to roll back the block to the 1950s to keep blacks concerned. They complained about the Supreme Court decision on voter rights. Trayvon martin as another example of bias and race in america. Steve explain why. Here we are in 2013. We have an africanamerican president. The biggest stars in the world are africanamerican here in the United States. Is the naacp essentially its a liberal front group and i find them to be irrelevant because they continue to push the same mental of moving people back the same mind set of moving people back. They are advancing policies thats going to harm the black community. Ben jealous, the president was excited coal fired plants are closing. That means a loss of jobs. The black community has already been devastated with high unemployment and lower disposable income with Higher Energy prices. Steve i was paying attention to what was going on down there yesterday. It was clear they are trying to use the Trayvon Martin death as a rallying cry for change. When you look at it, do you see this as a racese . No. It wasnt. Because theyre both minorities, first of all. You had the media and those on the left who injected race into this issue early on when in fact its been decided by the f. B. I. With their investigation plus with the ruling that he was not a racist. This is a horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the parents of Trayvon Martin. But it was not an issue about race. Steve but when you watch some of the channels or listen to some of the radio or read some of the blog, it was clearly racist, they say. They tried to carry that narrative. At the end of the day this is about the 2014 election coming up. The black vote was extremely important for president obama. Hes losing some of the unions because impair is imploding because impair impair because obamacare is imploding.
