So we live in a post-racial world, right? No one uses racial slurs against people opf other races, right? Black people never target other people because of the color of their skin and neither do Whites or any other race, right? Racial profiling doesn't exist at all, right? Normal people know...

I don't know if this is true, but it was making the rounds today that Jenteal said in her Piers Morgan interview that Martin thought Zimmerman was some kind of rapist and didn't want to lead him back to the house where his little brother was. And I know that Zimmerman thought he had a legitimate...

By normal people do you mean white people?

I agree that the trial itself probably could have only gone the way it did with the case that the prosecution built. I say probably just because I haven't yet read the Jury Instructions for Manslaughter. As far as stalking goes, I think a case could have been successfully made under the section...

Sorry for the delay, my 3 month old determines when I get computer time. And I apologize in advance for the post avalanche... It certainly seems that a not guiilty on the murder 2 was inevitable, and I know that you can't prove a negative. But I'm not talking about convicting a man based on...

I can't disagree with anything about the court case itself that you've put forth. There are things that I've heard but will probably not bother to dig up myself, like the instruction not to use the phrase "racial profiling" that point mostly to the ineptitude of the prosecution. But I do want to...

There is also no evidence that he didn't break any laws. We only have his word for it, and he wouldn't even give that on the stand. My main issue with your entire premiseis that you choose to start the clock, as it were, with Martin hitting Zimmerman (presumably first), repeatedly talking about...

i don't think there was enough evidence pointing to self-defense for the cops to not charge him with something. You don't even need to factor in race for me to reach that conclusion. The police don't have to prove reasonable doubt before they charge someone. No matter what people want to claim...

You post this link and fail to even recognize that you are yourself just regurgitating a mainstream media viewpoint. What could possibly be more mainstream than the most popular news channel by far? Both "sides" of the political spectrum are playing the same game. Telling you to pick one of...

I'm so tired of this pitiful need to try to cover for this murderer. The most intellectually disingenuous thing that you so many others claim is the idea that what happened was a "case of misunderstanding between two individuals", calling it an unfortunate incident. Martin has no...

The protection from the get-go tells me that they claimed him from the beginning. Talking about him being half Hispanic was only to pretend he wasn't racially motivated. The fact that the case gained and kept national attention is enough to demonstrate that everyone really thinks of Zimmerman as...

The funny thing about the Obama stuff you're saying is that (although most all of the Black community won't admit this since he became the democratic candidate) Black people widely didn't consider Obama as Black specifically because of the reasons you named and the Blackest thing about him was...

So what should this case be about? The media didn't make Zimmerman suspicious of a black kid who was doing nothing wrong. He was walking and (reportedly) looking around.

Every single neighborhood watch is supposed to be for watching and reporting, the end. Potentially, you could otherwise end up killing people who have commited no crime and weren't proven to be doing anything even remotely suspicious. The victim had no injuries except the gunshot wound because...

You keep on talking about you people, left liberal fascism, people having a problem with guns. Would it suprise you to know I am considered right by all my friends, have voted republican in every election since 2000, hate Barack Obama, am openly and vocally against affirmative action, have 2...

Why did Zimmerman call the police on Martin, follow him in his car, arm himself (I don't know if he already had the gun in his car or took it with him to the car), and follow him on foot? Just give me an honest answer.

Why ask questions you know they'll never answer?

Just like I said, things like this happen and it emboldens them. They out themselves to the rest of us, so it's best to just let it happen and take names. Every single defense of Zimmerman's actions that I've read in this thread is wholly based on racial stereotypes of Martin justifying...

Many people on this board are hoping for it, too. For them, it will serve to confirm that all the beliefs they've always privately held and hinted around about "those people" is right and true.

Didn't he initiate everything though? Does the fact that he didn't make it rain make the fact that he caused everything that happened somehow untrue?
