Black Teen Shot, Killed By Neighborhood Watch

I see no problem with white-hispanic or black-hispanic labels.

It's just combining race (white/black) and ethnicity (Hispanic).

The problem is people tend to treat Hispanic as a racial group, when it's really an ethnicity based on region, language and culture.
 
It'd be nice if you could address my points first, but...

[quote name='YendelTrex']I understand it just fine thanks. I don't like it and still say it was not common place in the media in the US before this case.[/quote]
You probably understand it better now that I've explained it to you over several posts. You still don't like it solely because you've likely never encountered it before, which is far different from the argument of self-identification.

LOL @ you saying I am not knowledgeable on the issue of "SELF-IDENTIFICATION".
You aren't and haven't shown that you are. You've given us nothing of substance to show any initimate knowledge on the broader subject. You don't get credit for making several posts saying that you don't like it because you've never heard of it and then posting a couple of links from right-wing sources using an entirely different argument that relies on knowledge that you don't have.

So what if I don't like the label? (i am not the only one and i have a right to that opinion) Why does that bother you so much?
Honestly, I couldn't care less that you don't like the label. I care about the WHY. If you don't have good and/or defensible reasons, then maybe you should rethink your stances on things.

I still find it incredulous that if you put up picture of Zimmerman and show his name under it, that you categorize him as being Hispanic. [/QUOTE]

Please quit editing your posts I can't keep up with the edits.;)

When did I say that?

I find it laughable when I am reading an article about a crime and they have the picture of say the predator and then in the article they feel it necessary to tell me that they are white or black. The picture wasn't enough for them? They have to tell me how I should VIEW the person?

Right here:
[quote name='YendelTrex']dohdough

Listen I think we got off on the wrong foot here. Soodemeg was right I think misunderstood what you were initially saying in what I took as a response to my post about the media using the label white-hispanic. I also think you might have misunderstood where I was coming from with my post on that. I simply meant that I thought it was more sensationalism on the media's part to get more viewers and interest. Most people I know are not comfortable with that term or label and viewed it that way also.

If I am wrong then so be it. If someone asked me to describe someone for the matter of identifying them visually I see no problem with saying white if that is their color. I didn't see zimmerman that way and maybe you did not either and that is why you think the initial police report was biased in getting zimmerman a leg up so to speak.

I would be happy to have a civilized discussion with you on other matters such as the one drop rule.[/QUOTE]

You don't use any terminology, describe the history of terms, discuss the evolution of concepts, or show any understanding of the concepts. It's a rhetorical tool to ask someone to prove a negative because you can't, but you've shown no evidence that you do and that's as close as you can get.

So you think that you have taught me something? That is what you are saying in your post. Thanks to you now I understand it better? Somebody is really full of themselves.
Are you saying that you haven't learned anything? LOLZ...that makes it even more hilarious and sad at the same time.

[quote name='YendelTrex']I don't get it. Was it about the news making Goerge Zimmerman a white guy or are you trying to tell me it was about making a brown guy brown? However one looks at it saying white-hispanic is stupid.

For the sake of argument lets say the news did it to cover up or implicate white folks or brown folks. Then you are saying that the police report did it to provide cover for a brown guy who looked white to them to make him look MORE white so he wouldn't get in trouble? Is that the same police report that is headed with negligent homicide and the same police department that wanted to charge George Zimmerman? They didn't do a very good covering for the mixed race guy now did they?[/QUOTE]

Combine that with your other posts and you're saying that there's no pattern? If he's not defined as black, white, and obviously not East Asian, then wtf does "brown" imply? Desi???

First you said that I labeled zimmerman as white-hispanic when I did not then you said I labeled him as hispanic I did not then you said I am not knowledgable on self-identification even though WE did not discuss it.

To answer your first question you said I labeled him as hispanic when I called you on it you basically said well it's because I said brown in another sentence or two.

I did not say you labeled him hispanic now did I?

This is what I said.."If you think that brown means hispanic then maybe you are not the professor you think you are. Or maybe you should question yourself in why you would think that and go there. Brown is brown."

All of your defending a lie about me labeling zimmerman hispanic was about me saying brown. Your defense not mine.

You are telling me about honest debate when you are the one saying I said things and assigned labels that I did not? If you can't handle me defending myself against false allegations made by you then you might want to stop making false allegations.

Here is an idea YOU should start a new thread or two. One called the false allegation thread and the other Professor Dohdough's Race thread.

You are the one making this thread about those things but can't handle it when someone else chimes in or defends themselves.

But once again, since none of us were there, who's to say what really happened. If there was a struggle for Zimmermans' gun and it went off, then NO charges should be held against him imo. Again we don't know 100% of what went down. As for the public arena thing, I still say that he will NEVER get a fair trial anywhere due to all of the coverage of this case prior to charges finally being filed.
I don't agree with everything myke, clak, camoor, dmaul, msut, or any number of the usuals say, but I don't flame because they make arguments and don't play dumb. If you want to play the "rules" card, you haven't any mature arguments so what's your point?
No mature arguments? If one is mature, then they don't have arguments in the first place. They agree that others are entitled to their own opinion and if they disagree they do so respectfully. So by that admission, I do agree that some discussions I've had on here haven't exactly been all that mature. Then again, I believe the average user on here save for some segments of CAG is 15-16, so that may factor into it a bit.

As for discussing oil futures, I don't pretend to know about or understand things that I don't know about or understand.

You already stated that a grown man following you in a car would be creepy, so by following him, Zimmerman has already commited an act that would lead to later possible aggression. Throwing the first punch is irrelevant when Zimmerman initiated the encounter by following Martin. Since Zimmerman was the initiator, that would put Martin in the position to claim self-defense. There's causality.

You're also assuming he was ever going to get a fair trial to begin with. I honestly don't think anyone really thinks this will end in a verdict that will lead to anything but Zimmerman walking.

You don't seem to understand what an "argument" means in relation to a debate. As for being mature, I have no problem getting in the mud with the troglodytes that shit and run on vs. When we're talking about vs., I'm willing to bet that the more prolific posters are close to and around 30.
 
I am not sure if it was Cheapest but someone in this thread more or less stated he would consider someone he didn't know in his neighborhood suspicious.

Which is saying that he can recognize the dimly lit silhouette of every single person in his town. Disregarding the fact that I could have people (say my cousins kids) over with out expecting a local busy body to stalk them.

But yet again, Zimmermans' neighbors had been the victims of break-ins according to some of the reports going around at the time this case started being reported in the news. So to me it was justifiable for him to follow someone who wasn't from that neighborhood, especially if the average response time for police in that same area was very lax.

Having your home broken into is different from a robbery in progress. Not to mention that insurance would cover any material losses. Following someone can be interpreted as threatening behavior especially if it leads to violence. Obviously since you believe in racial profiling being justifiable, I can see how following someone isn't problematic for you.

If they're trying to distance the idea of white folks being responsible for this, then there's no reason to use the term "white-Hispanic". Just say "Hispanic". It'd probably be considered accurate by the majority of the population (well, the majority of the population won't care one way or another) and does a better job of accomplishing their agenda.

No, you just argued the obsurdity of adding white- to the -Hispanic when Hispanic, on it's own, would suffice and related it to how we call Obama black, and not white-African.

Well fuck, it's not like news outlets were throwing him solely into the Hispanic category right after his father sent that letter right?

[quote name='dohdough']I'm pretty sure that you don't understand what you just quoted.


From what I've been reading, the Feds have no jurisdiction over the case in regards to charging and arresting Zimmerman for anything regarding the actual killing unless it was found that Martin's civil rights were violated. They certainly won't be able to do anything regarding the cops that are stonewalling the case.

The most interesting thing about the CNN article is that they're using the 1 drop rule now in regards to Zimmerman being multiracial.[/QUOTE]

Too bad CNN edited out the part where they described him as being a Hispanic male. Luckily, there is somewhat of a record that they changed it and that they weren't the only news outlet that said he was Hispanic and nothing else.

edit: Whoops...looks like some media outlets DID describe Zimmerman as soley Hispanic.:roll:

Did you read those links from Fox and pjm? Do they NOT address self-identification? Is that NOT related to the social construction of race and how we categorize people? Of course you didn't discuss it; you only posted links to stand in for your discussion and as your argument because you can't justify your unfounded opinion beyond you just not liking the term, white-Hispanic.

I could be an ass like you and say you are not knowledgable about airplanes even though you have not discussed airplanes and how they are made and of what components.
It'd be appropriate if we were talking about aerodynamics, engineering, aviation, TSA policies, and a host of other subjects related to planes and flying. To put it in the context of our "conversation," you're talking about folding paper airplanes your hate for folding them because you can't make them fly for long enough and I'm talking goddamn aerodynamics and lift.

I have a better idea instead of starting the two threads I said you should why don't you just merge them into one as with you they go hand in hand.
Like I said. PROVE IT. I have over 25 posts for you to highlight where you said I lied.

Nice of you to capitalize race. Are discussions of race supposed be be scary or something? Since you made a reference to books on racism, how about you point out the books where I've erred. If you're going to make the assertion that I misinterpreted some books, articles, or studies, PROVE IT.

edit: And you're back to the one drop rule again as if I didn't already explain it several times that the Spanish used it when they colonized the American continent and that it doesn't matter what they called it especially if it was literally and functionally the same exact fucking thing with a different fucking name.

edit2: Shit, the US even used it against Native Americans.

That wasn't my argument at all. My point is it's absurd to say they're using the term "white-Hispanic" in an attempt to distance him from the "white" race when simply using the term "Hispanic" would do a better job at that. Also, you'll find articles from the beginning (including our very own OP) that jumped at the chance at pointing out the whiteness of Zimmerman. The white/Hispanic/white-Hispanic issues in early articles could be attributed to the confusion surrounding the story and the rush by the 24-hour news cycle to get the story on air with fewer fact checks because we can always correct it later.

They DID categorize him as Hispanic and white-Hispanic is a more accurate description of him because he passes for white. Having ____-Hispanic or just plain not 100% white is already more than enough for most white people to disassociate his actions from coming from their own racial group. Hell, even white-Hispanic isn't that accurate for him because it's applied when referring to someone of mainly Spanish ancestry and not to denote a multiracial person.

edit: I went back and re-read our exchange. You are absolutely correct in me initially misinterpreting your argument of media being more effective at changing the narrative if they left it strictly as Hispanic rather than a hypenated Hispanic. While a couple of previous posts address that issue as well as the paragraph above, I'm sorry for the undeserved hostility from me. I mean this sincerely.

Although, if you posted proof like I asked you to, I would've apologized sooner.;)

While a couple of previous posts address that issue as well as the paragraph above, I'm sorry for the undeserved hostility from me. I mean this sincerely.[/QUOTE]

Thank you. It's appreciated.

[quote name='Msut77']Again, you can identify every single person in your neighborhood by their dimly lit silhouette?[/quote]
That I do. That I do.

Actually the one neighbor(old guy who's lived here 40 years) was of no help when neighbor kids(he claimed not to know them but called em by name a few days later when he saw them:roll:) were vandalizing the lawn we just had planted when we first moved here and he nitpicks about where I throw my snow in the winter(on the corner of our sidewalks in the front but still on OUR property) among other things. So my opinion of him is he can go fuck himself.

The other close neighbor just moved in about 2-4 years ago and her and her family/friends slam their car doors really loud all hours of day and night. Not to mention she tried telling me where to take my dog in our fenced in yard to take a shit. So she can get fucked too.

In other words, I don't personally know my neighbors, don't like them and that's staying that way because they've been a pair of ignorant fucks to me. If I tried to extend the olive branch to either of them, I'd likely wanna smack either of them with it upside the head.;)
Also, do you expect every neighbor to have their visitors submit you a signed permission slip with a photo?
Damn right. The woman I mentioned above has a virtual revolving door on her house. She has friends/relatives staying over a good 80% of the time. They hog all of the available spots on the street, not only in front of her house but in front of ours and the neighbor on the other side of her house.

Compared to our old neighborhood, where you could practically hear a pin drop(literally) at 10-11pm because it was so quiet, this neighborhood is like Grand Central Station and the Autobahn in the summer time.

Just as I thought you are a troll and one might say that you are also msut77 since many of your posts in this thread are right next to msut77 or maybe all three of you are the same msut77, dohdough and you. Who knows and who the fuck cares!!

What is certain is you are a troll and just visit this thread to relieve yourself.

Move along now...shoo fly!!

P.S. So I am not the only one to have an issue with dohdough I take it. I am sure I am not the first and certainly will not be last and there are probably many in between.

NBC was chastised and fired people for it, not to mention that it was on the today show. You can't say the same thing for Fox News and James O'Keefe.

If you have something interesting to say about it, then say it. I'm guessing you don't.

Sounds like you a a little case of projection here. No one here asked you to make non-observant statements about details on the case that have already been released, but you decide to post your ignorant comments anyways. I guess when you were talking about me not liking being called out, you were talking about yourself.

Or maybe if you weren't such a cliche of a troll, then no one would've made comparisons to the other trolls we've had recently.

So you go back through 19 days of posts to show us his thread history, yet, you can't ass yourself to compose a post proving all your points from the last 4 pages about me as correct. You're hilarious.

I ignored that request of yours earlier because I quoted each post at the time you posted it if I had issue with it and addressed the issue specifically each time at the time. Then we continued from there. Your earlier request also seemed to be wanting me to prove it to "everyone" where I as I said addressed it with you at the time and I was not arguing with "everyone".

You had your chance to defend your BS and didn't do it (not really) but just played little games probably because there was no defending it as you were wrong and full of it.

Your request is just more of the same from you. BS and games.

So you Know I did not go through nineteen days of posts I clicked their name and magically it allows me to see just their posts.

What on god's green earth are you rambling about now?

First if you clicked the link about bandages on zimmerman it said the next day also the video from the night before is grainy and shows what could or could not be an injury. When more facts are releaed from the medical on scene that night and and records after then we will know more.

I am not aware of what James Okeefe did. Why don't you post a link for me?

"If you have something interesting to say about it, then say it. I'm guessing you don't."

Did I say I have something interesting to say about it?. It was COMEDY and didn't I state that? I thought I did? That is what I wanted to say and said. DUH!! (i get the feeling you do not get comedy and can't appreciate it that stick (or head of yours) is to far up your bum)

The rest of your post is just more ramblings so I wont waste anymore of my time with the madness known as dohdough's BS.

Yet you felt the need to do it with renique46. Why? Probably because they have posts that are easy enough for you to disseminate.

You had your chance to defend your BS and didn't do it (not really) but just played little games probably because there was no defending it as you were wrong and full of it.
Saying I'm playing games, saying that I'm wrong without saying why, calling my points BS...now that's all well and good, but if you're not going to address the points without any substance, well, you're just using circular logic which is exemplified by your entire post.

Your request is just more of the same from you. BS and games.
This is very similar to someone else that used to post here. Now I don't think you're Pliskin101, but probably endemic to your mutual levels of ignorance.

So you Know I did not go through nineteen days of posts I clicked their name and magically it allows me to see just their posts.
Just like how you could've done with mine and yours.

AhAHAhAHA...yeah...let's focus on that one area and ENHANCE! It's not like it could just be artifacts from the increased filter on photoshop or anything. I don't know how familiar you are with head injuries, possibly very familiar considering your posts, but the type of swelling you'd get from the type of attack he allegedly got would show up pretty quick. You also don't get your head beat to the point of unconsciousness without being required to goto the hospital. We don't have to know every little detail and can make reasonable assumptions about the information we have.

I am not aware of what James Okeefe did. Why don't you post a link for me?
You quoted Fox News in an earlier post, so you can google him yourself.

"If you have something interesting to say about it, then say it. I'm guessing you don't."

Did I say I have something interesting to say about it?. It was COMEDY and didn't I state that? I thought I did? That is what I wanted to say and said. DUH!! (i get the feeling you do not get comedy and can't appreciate it that stick (or head of yours) is to far up your bum)
Now this right here is very Pliskin-like. Comedy is a very interesting form of art because it can be overtly performed or subtly performed, so that it can be appreciated at different levels. Judging from your response, you probably saw Chappelle's Show and thought it was all "Rick James BITCH!" and the crack-face character without looking into the social commentary of a vast majority of his skits.

The rest of your post is just more ramblings so I wont waste anymore of my time with the madness known as dohdough's BS.
Admit it. You can't help yourself.

I am sure Zimmerman put in some time bandaging his own head and moaning loudly where his neighbors could hear him. This is not sarcasm.
