Justice for Trayvon??

I don't really care enough about the topic to do that, but I think anyone who was alive in both 1995 and 2013 understands there's no way that can be correct.

There are more TV's now everywhere you go & there's the internet. I think it's feasible more people followed the Zimemrman case, whereas the OJ case wasn't followed as closely but people were more passionate about it. I don't see how the OJ case had anything to do with race though.
 
Why do you think they moved that trial out of Santa Monica where it belonged? Don't believe any of the bullshit about damage to the court house there either. It was done to achieve a jury with more minorities.

How did that help the case?
 
Re-read, and don't ask me again.

Amazing that you knew which side I was talking about. Also amazing that by moving the case to Santa Monica the prosecution had no say in the jury.

How did adding minorities change the outcome of the case?

The justice system worked exactly the way it was supposed to work in this case...and that's the scary part. The system is designed to specifically kill, convict and marginalize young black youth. It was never intended to help Black Americans. The collective consciousness of America has fallen off its axis...

Black Racism Killed Trayvon ...
Exclusive: Jesse Lee Peterson wants Americans to take stand against intimidation



By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

Rachel Jeantel, the troubled young woman who was speaking on the phone to Trayvon Martin just before he was killed, testified in George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial that Martin called Zimmerman a “creepy a– cracka” before their violent confrontation.

I’ve been warning for the past 23 years that black racism is out-of-control – it appears black racism killed Trayvon Martin, and Paula Deen’s career!

Since the shooting of Martin, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP (along with the liberal media) have done their best to portray Martin as an innocent kid tiptoeing through the tulips who just happened to be the victim of a racist white vigilante (even though Zimmerman is half Hispanic).

Blatant hostility and racism toward whites is common among black youth. Martin’s friend Rachel Jeantel admitted that where she comes from the term “cracka” is a common term used to describe whites.

Before his death, Martin was suspended from school; he was caught with a marijuana pipe; it was reported he had burglary tools in his locker; and it was recently revealed that pictures of marijuana plants and someone suspected to be Martin holding a gun were found on his cell phone. Does this sound like a well-adjusted teenager?

Trayvon Martin was the product of a broken home. He was also a victim of the corrupt civil-right leaders who peddle racism infecting the minds of young blacks. Martin’s parents (Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton) stood next to race hustlers and knowingly allowed this case to be framed as a race issue. As a result, supporters have taken to Twitter, threatening to kill Zimmerman and random white people if he gets off:

@HotTopicLys: f**k Don West. f*** George Zimmerman. I’ll kill both them n***as.
@StayFocus_Jones: ima kill a white person in self-defense if Zimmerman go free lol on everything.
@ZackSlaterExe: If they don’t kill Zimmerman Ima kill me a cracka.
@BE4L_Pervis: If Zimmerman win, I’m gonna kill a white kid by mistake.
All the threats and screams of racism from these thugs, as well as Sharpton and Jackson, have nothing to do with justice for Trayvon! Just as the uproar over celebrity chef Paula Deen’s use of the word “N–-er” decades ago has nothing to do with eradicating racism.

Deen has been excoriated after she admitted she had used that word in a deposition over a case accusing her of condoning an atmosphere of sexual harassment and racism in her businesses.

Paula Deen has apologized profusely to everybody and their mama! She released statements, videos and appeared on the “Today” show begging for forgiveness from blacks.

Jesse Jackson (of all people!) has said his organization plans to investigate the matter and that he will help the embattled chef overhaul her image. She didn’t owe an apology to all black people. Jesse Jackson is not the gatekeeper to black America, and she doesn’t need him to remake her image.

Since Paula’s admission, the Food Network, Wal-Mart, Caesars Entertainment, Smithfield Foods, Sears and diabetes drug maker Novo Nordisk are no longer doing business with her. This type of overreaction by majority white-owned companies is the height of cowardice.

Just as in the Zimmerman case, it’s time for people to take a stand against all forms of racial intimidation!

By apologizing to all blacks, Deen and her former sponsors are unwittingly sending the message that just the accusation alone is enough to get whites to cave. This only encourages vultures like Jackson and Sharpton to swoop in and exploit these incidents for personal gain.

Jackson claims he’s going to investigate Deen’s past use of a racial slur. Did anyone investigate his past use of racial slurs when he used the slur “hymie” and “hymietown” respectively when referring to Jews and New York City? Or when Jackson accused Barack Obama of “talking down to black folks” by lecturing them on moral issues?

If Jackson, Sharpton and the NAACP hadn’t jumped on the Trayvon Martin case and made it into a racial matter, nobody would have heard of it. His death would have gone unnoticed, just like the more than 500 black youths that were murdered in Chicago in black-on-black violence last year.

The attention on the Zimmerman trial is not about justice for Trayvon; it’s about intimidation and dividing the American people along race.

I hear from many white people that they’ve given up on trying to help or deal with blacks. If they hire blacks, they’re afraid to correct them because they may cry racism. God forbid if they have to lay off or fire a black employee – all hell might break loose! This is putting fear in white people because they can’t win either way.

Whites have to overcome the fear of being called “racist.” Blacks have to be on the side of good and stand for what is right, regardless of race. In order to conquer these racist black leaders, we must see clearly that the uproar in the Trayvon Martin and Paula cases is NOT about justice.

Dear idiot, they moved the trial from Santa Monica, not to Santa Monica. Learn how to read. They moved it downtown L.A. in order to have more diverse jury, one that would favor OJ.

That's super, but you avoided answering the question.

Why would a more diverse jury help OJ?

What about old black youth?


Maybe young black old people?


Dummy.

There's no such thing as Black racism in this country.
 
9 Blacks, 2 Whites and 1 Hispanic

This trial took a year to try. A verdict came in under 4 hours. They had decided he was innocent before it began.

Might have been different in Santa Monica. Perhaps OJ's color and fame might have not made such a difference there.
 
First you have to understand racism and go beyond just Websters definition of racist or prejudice. If you cannot do that then you're totally incapable of having a discussion on this issue.

Or perhaps, just look at a television or on the internet! There are multitudes of examples running 24/7.
