Zimmerman verdict is in.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

Which is to say, why did you direct this at me?

"Racism explains most of the reaction to this case--the extreme interest in this case shown by the GB's foremost racists is proof of that--but firearms worship is certainly a factor also."

Your own words. That's why.
 
What happened is what I've been saying since last March: for way too many people, it was

1) Completely understandable for Zimmerman to assume that a 16-year-old black kid (aka the "fucking punk") walking through his neighborhood was up to no good

2) Completely understandable that Zimmerman, who was armed, feared for his life when confronted by the unarmed Martin.

3) NOT understandable that Martin's own aggressive confronting of Zimmerman could have itself been inspired by the desire to defend his own self. Because why would anyone ever be afraid of a white person?


I agree we're definitely going to see more people walking around armed, because the message here is that if you shoot an unarmed person and there are no witnesses, you can claim self-defense and have a jury buy that.

Did you forget saying this?

What the fuck are you on about?

Wait. I thought the Hispanics where being oppressed. Now we have to decide how white Zimmerman is? This is getting silly.

What part of WE's post that you just quoted involves Zimmerman's race? He was talking about Martin's race. It wouldn't have mattered if Zimmerman was White, Hispanic, or fucking Asian. The point is that it's far too easy to get away with shooting a black guy. And the ORIGINAL post you quoted,

Wrong Element said:
True, but the unpunished killing of black people has sort of been an art form there for a long while. It's the difference between eating Mexican food in San Antonio and eating it in Milwaukee.

was about how it's even easier to get away with killing a black person in the south than it is anywhere else.

The truth is you were too fucking stupid to comprehend the analogy so you're spouting off dumbshittery like your mouth has diarrhoea. Here's a suggestion, shut the fuck up if you don't understand something (or politely ask for clarification) and you'll look less like a god damn fuckwit.

There's no racism in any of it. Its common ordinary ethnocentrism or tribe vs tribe. In a larger sense its one half of America pushing back at the other half. And the GOP got caught standing with the wrong half.
 
i know someone out there in the real world will get his hands on him an make it the worst.

Quite a claim coming from the land down under. Have you ever even been to Florida?

Actually, A special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other blacks.

In response to President Obama’s decision to raise the profile of the Trayvon Martin case, T. Willard Fair, president of the Urban League of Greater Miami, recently said that the “the outrage should be about us killing each other, about black-on-black crime.”

Where is the outrage from prominent members of the African-American community? Where are the words of condemnation and sorrow from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, or Rev. Al Sharpton, over the fact that members of their own communities are summarily executing each other? Critics believe that acknowledging the unfortunate, irrefutable statistical truth negates the left’s narrative about a black community selectively exploited and targeted by white racists.

Some might also argue that fanning the flames of racial discontent, especially in an election year, serves a useful and powerful campaign purpose.
 
This reporter seems disappointed that there is nothing happening outside.

Of course they are. They were trying to engineer a riot from day one showing pictures of Martin as a small child.

The average person who only looks at the home pages of the news sites really thought Zimmerman killed a cute nine year old.

Maybe a major media outlet can fudge a tape of Zimmerman laughing and saying "Hey suckers why don't you riot now!"

Perfect post with the stats to back it up.

But understand the truth is not "sexy" and it takes away the ability to blame the white man for all the poor black kids problems.

Racism sells papers and gets people watching.

Genocide does not.
