Its a pretty simple and effective analogy. This kid that was killed doing nothing wrong (sorry I think attacking someone stalking you at night is self defense) could very well have been Obama who as the current president of the U.S. is the most powerful human to have existed.

Do you really think there isn't a huge part of this country that looks at a kid like Trayvon and discounts who he can become?

He has been in office for 5 years and he addresses race quite rarely. If I was the first black president I would remind every white reporter I encountered what he score is.
