Yes, blacks sold other blacks into slavery. But what you did with them once you got them is another story. Totally. One to be fogotten, I suppose. Because hey, you got them from other black people. So what you do with them is your prerogative, right?

How long has it been since a black man went up for auction? Moreover, you should know that a very small percentage of whites owned slaves. They were the wealthy landowners. Most crackers who lived in the South during the 19th century lived in abject poverty. But don't let facts get in the way of the racial narrative.

No matter what you say, will only see that someone that wasn't black killed a black kid. He's to stupid to see past that. You could play a video proving that gz was innocent and somehow show gz had good intentions of just looking out for his neighbors, would not matter at all.
He's just in denial, he wants so bad to think that TM wasn't a thug and gz wanted to kill him.

Neither stupid, nor in denial. He was found not guilty. I do not want to think anything. What I do feel is that if I had a pistol and he had candy, then I would not NEED to kill him. But, I am not an over zealous watch guy, so what do I know? This case does bring out all kinds of name calling and other acts of anger. What's wrong folks, they found him not guilty. Everybody should rejoice, Z is free to "police" the streets again.

Prove I am not a "racist"? I have done nothing racist. I have been a victim of it though. But yes, racism is getting pretty old. What year did white people start racism again? Help me out here, cuz that little factoid seems to get left out the History books. And yes I am generally upset when anyone dies. But this case took on a life of its own and I am glad it over. For now.

Unless you know the complete history of the world, how can you state white people created racism? We know slavery existed in this world long before America even came to be, so your statement cannot be proven factual.

Skin? Dude should be home with his candy. Zim should be wherever fatgays go to play. End of story. Oh, except for a murder that took place.

Since A is pretty far away from U on the kb, I assume you didn't make a typo. You come across hypocritical to argue against racism yet hate gays. You've made your sentiments on Z well known, so to call him gay shows you must think very low of them as well. Way to represent. Fight hatred with more hatred.

So by your "logic" a man can't kill another man or have him fear for his life without a weapon?

Yeah. Black people were the cause of continued racism in the US. Check.

How was Zimmermann reckless?
Click to expand...

He got out of his car and began to follow a young man without ever identifying himself. Even the police, wearing their uniforms that denote their authority, say "This is the police". Z could have easily indentified himself as NHW and asked TM his purpose. He didn't. That was reckless IMO.

If what Zimmerman did (and remember, we now have the benefit of not only seeing the evidence run through a full trial but an unabashedly zealously prosecuted one at that) could be considered "murder" then it would be all but impossible to ever justify self-defense in public in all but the most extreme circumstances. The margin for error would have to be so slim that one would basically have to knowingly cede one's own safety (possibly even life) in giving an attacker the "benefit of the doubt".

I don't want anybody shot, stabbed, beaten or whatever. I really don't. The problem is that there have always been and, sadly, will be into any near future those that will attack others for their own reasons. Sometimes it's something as simple as just plain stupid. The reason, however, matters not to the victim. I really don't like how much Trayvon has been dragged through the mud. Hell, I don't even care if the accusation are true, I wish the kid was still alive...but he isn't. He was shot. I know who shot him. I also know that every single shred of actual, demonstrable evidence I've seen produced by anyone supports the contention that the guy that shot him legally had just cause to do so. Far too many people are absolutely invested in the idea that if the outcome isn't to their liking then there must...MUST...be someone to demonize. Evidence to the contrary doesn't matter. Statements made by others supporting the contention can only possibly be lies. Authority must be complicit. It goes on and on. The narrative becomes alive and is loved because it speaks what many desperately want to believe.

To some extent the above is part of being human. On SOME topics to SOME extent I'd wager we all do it. It's a bit scary though when it reaches up into the realm of those who would manipulate it to exert power and control over others. No, actually, it's scary as hell.

What's even more reckless is assaulting a man with a gun.

Racism as it pertains to the US.

I do not hate gays. Why would I? They (singular or as a group, have done nothing to me). If I referred to him as gay, how does it mean I hate him for the type of sex he has?

In order for one to identify himself, one has to make contact. Gz lost him when he got out of truck . So, the next contact was a punch by TM .

Why is that reckless?

I know the facts of the case, so you have told me nothing new. I wanttoknow how you define reckless in a manner in which this fits your definition but bars the same being said regarding walking up or around anyone at night and in public. Am I being reckless if I walk through Boston Public Gardens at night, come up behind and overpass someone on the path, and fall to identify myself? What factor makes this different in a public ****ing neighborhood?

To the Left, everything is about race. That's how they maintain political power: identity politics. And you're right, racism is not dead. It's being kept alive by the hustlers and race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

As well as neo-nazis and the klan. Let's paint a fair picture that hate exists on both sides of race. The difference IMO is that most whites see white extremists as crazy(as they should) while Jesse and Al are revered.
