Thumbs up for calling the foul.
I may understand why you got yourself confused. Hence some tips to break it down so even you can understand:
Go back to page 9, then read my posts and Trish's posts very very slowly (very big emphasis on slowly here), Note: taking notes may help you in this process, then repeat this methodology (n times) until you feel confident that you know I wasn't talking to myself. Probably it would be hard for you to come to such conclusion. In such case, you're just going to have to believe this assertion par value.
A lively discussion is definitely beyond your mental faculties.
A picture may help
If you bring Bush into this you better consult Murphy's Law!
(this should give Prospero grey hairs!!! ha ha)
I shouldn't have posted that bush picture
Stephen A. Smith, on ESPN, which normally discusses sports, agreeing with me that the media did not report what was actually happening in the court room. He was initially very angry with the verdict, but then looked for himself to see what the testimony actually was, and now understands the verdict based on the evidence that was submitted in court.

I'm pretty sure every black person in the USA understands the verdict and is angry.
My friends and I grew up as long-hared pot smoking looking guys, and we had a few years there where cops were not always the good guys.
As a white person, I see racism as only one of fifty problems in the US,
and there are plenty of times I think some black people have tunnel vision when it comes to race, and that's part of the problem.
The only reason Travon Martin got shot was because he ran into fuckin George Zimmerman. Those are the facts.
It's a fact that black people are trying to milk the situation to their advantage. On the other hand, racial profiling is exercised by cops everywhere in this country. It is a sad fact, but the anger should NOT be directed at Zimmerman. As based on the evidence presented: Racial profiling was never part of this case.
Maybe instead of demonstrations against GZ and demonstrations to limit gun laws, people should demonstrate against racial profiling used by Police. Just few weeks ago, the blogosphere was ripe of complaints against LAPD's brutality in the case of Officer Dorner. If you'll remember they have shot two old Hispanic women without identifying their target. Why don't people leave GZ alone and try to change the way certain police departments treat Citizens.
Zimmerman has no power over people's lives, the police do however and most of the time they can mess up someone's future.
