Re: The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty
If a white guy ventured into a black neighborhood and a black man followed and confronted him on the basis he thought the guy was there to commit a crime, and there had been a fight which resulted in the white guy being killed, does anyone have any doubt at all the outcome of a trail would be the exact opposite of what happened in the Zimmerman case?

I had the same question.
Re: The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty
Isn't Zimmerman Hispanic? This has nothing to do with white vs black, the race card is played far to often for far to many things. With the evidence that was presented there was no other verdict possible, the state of Florida over charged him instead of going for a lesser charge from the beginning. At the same time i was surprised at a straight "not guilty" i was expecting a hung jury.

Not a chance of that, I am afraid that the country is taking steps back rather than moving forward.
- Look at what is going on in multiple states around the abortion issue (several are sneaking in changes with various gimmicks).
- Voting rights amendment being basically nullified (watch all of those same states make it harder to vote)
- We are headed back to these times it seems.....

Re: The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty
Hispanics are European
they have spanish ancestry
The problem arises because people refer to
hispanics as "the 4th race" when in fact they are a hybrid of the three fundamental races.
But the point with language is that words mean what people mean by them and not a textbook or scientific definition. And in that sense, most people see enough commonality among enough hispanics for the word to have common currency.
So, they become a de facto race.
hispanic's have origin from spain
hispanic's are a mix with white,native american,african

White skin appeared just 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, as dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climes and lost much of their melanin pigment.

see there is no biological basis for the idea of a white or black or asian
Race is an old concept that should probably be discarded. It was
created by people who had a very limited knowledge of their world. If you
look at any genetic map (mitochondrial or Y chromosome DNA), you can
see there is no biological basis for the idea of a white or black or asian
race.
Here's a map

"I was able to trace the family trees of several prominent people
everyone regardless if you are white ,Spanish ,Mexican or Asian
can traced there origins back to two Ethiopians ,a man and a women.
these two Ethiopians are everyones ancestors

....if Jesse and Al had let things be, there wouldn't even have been a case to not go to trial. Sharpton got involved, not on his own as a "hustler", but at the behest of the grieving parents whose son had just been murdered and the Sanford cops had let the admitted killer (whose father was a judge) go scott free w/out even an arrest. Had it been your teenage son whose life had been snuffed out, you would be grateful for some "hustlers" to step in and demand justice.

Maybe a pussy who fears for his life fighting a skinny black kid shouldn't be in law enforcement. Maybe he should mind his own business.
