Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
With all due respect (seriously) the word ghetto and it's usuage of the Jewish, or Polish, or Asian ghetto's of the past in European cities, was a word just to designate an area that was predominantly one race or group of people. There weren't the negative connocatations to how we apply to word now to inner-city run-down, poor and/or dangerous places.
Of course, poor and dangerous areas have been around since cities began but they weren't just one race or another.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
One time in DC I was so drunk I couldn't remember where I parked, and in a dark alley five black kids attacked me. Did I tell this story before? I went down on one hand and came up runnin'. Then I noticed I was chasing a kid. I went from scared to mad. He ran around a car and disappeared back into the dark alley. On the curb, beneath the streetlights, I screamed every demeaning racist slur I could think of into the black alley. When I ran out of things to say, I started repeating. When I was finished, I turned and noticed these four old black guys leaning against a nearby car.....Eyes wide open and jaws dropped...."Did they rob you?"
YEAH!!!!!!!
Yvonne, you can call me Butt, you can even call me Buttsy Whatsy..
There are two sides to every story, that's why we have JUDGES. Zimmerman has his side, he was protecting his neighborhood from thieves. He was carrying a gun for self defense. If he was wearing a Police Uniform, Treyvon would have explained himself, if stopped, and that would have been it. Even if Treyvon had beaten and stripped that guy in Baltimore, flown down to Florida to cop 10 kilos of coke, there was no reason to follow him in his aunt's gated community. You're presumed innocent. Until proven guilty. That's the first thing Zimmerman should had learned.
If you put your hands on a cop, you're going DOWN. They don't consider what they do a sport. They beat Rodney King because cops die in high speed car chases. I used to be a drunk driver, I had to learn the hard way that ain't cool. I'm probably more like Zimmerman than Treyvon, in fact I know I am. But he fucked up and killed a guy, and there's gonna be guys following him in prison........well, that's a whole nother thread.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
Where's the proof that Eric Holder is "half-black"? And if you really want to get technical about it most African-Americans are "half-black", more or less, due to the One Drop Rule from a long time ago, but it's still perpetuated today.
[quote=mildcigar_2001;1119840]No, it's not politically incorrect to mention that. But in the process of mentioning that, please also take the time to mention the fact that Zimmerman is the one who actually has as criminal history. Yet you want to point out what he said on Twitter and edit your post so you can attach a photo of him sticking his middle finger up? Don't be picky, bro.
I'm black and I don't advocate any violence towards Zimmerman. It's a shame that some people are. I'm not sure if giovanni's HOPES Zimmerman is attacked by someone. But, something doesn't smell right. False information about what Zimmerman did has been put out there by the folks who know him personally and by the police. If this is the case, then someone is trying to cover up something. Otherwise, why this huge scramble? Therefore, if something bad happens to him, I really don't care. I wouldn't care if his death photos get exploited on rotten.com. I don't have remorse for those who are guilty of harming the innocent. But I will say that Obama shouldn't said that Treyvon would have looked like his son. The moment he said that I KNEW people would jump all over him for it. And they did. People on this forum, the white nationalist trolls on Youtube, and Newt Gingrich.
This rant was unnecessary. But it should be stated that, yes, there were a ton of vile comments about Obama just before and after he won the election. That was to be expected. But...these were also from politicians. The e-mail comments and racist images that several of them were sending to one another as jokes were revealed to the public and reveals a lot about the true feelings/nature of those so called "conservatives" who try to make it seem that only liberals are racists (yeah...I'm sure that Americans with views that lean towards anything like Nazis, KKK, and Aryans vote for liberals/Democrats). Also, remember that some Neo-Nazis had guns and were trying to reach the area where Obama was when he got elected. And speaking of guns, I'm sure everyone remembers the Tea Party protestors who decided to carry guns to places where Obama would be speaking as a way to apparently show him that they believe in their right to bear arms. I can tell you right how that a lot of those people were more intertested in being an asshole and trying to intimidate someone with a thug mentality wrapped in what they see as "conservatism" and patriotism. And I'm sure none of them had racist thoughts about Obama, right? Sure.
This is true, yet it apparently didn't apply to Zimmerman.
This is true. Racism and hate works both ways. White/black/etc will try to downplay and nitpick and complain and cover something up when someone else goes after someone who is of the same race that they are, and it's not right.
You're right, the Reverends would do just that. I, along with a lot of other African-Americans who can actually use their brain don't give a fuck what those two idiots say or do. And OF COURSE, the stereotypical, lowlife, idiot black thugs (they all fall under the category of that one forbidden word that shouldn't be repeated unless you are black because it then all of a sudden isn't degrading and offensive; remember what comedian Chris Rock had to say about black people and then THOSE types of people; much in the same way you have white people and then trash that just happens to be white) would be against the man for shooting in self-defense. And I said it before and I'll say it again. Obama shouldn't have said that statement about Treyvon. That was bad news.
no, neither one of you are wrong for feeling that way. be honest. I've been honest with all of the comments I've made in this thread, even expressing some views that were anarchic and probably crazy sounding to a lot of you...which is probably why nobody responded to my comments because you probably think I'm crazy, and you have a right to think that about me. Anyway, being honest, I have the same damn feelings. My black family has the same damn feelings. I talk to my black friends in real life and on the internet about how something just isn't right and they agree. Something really is fucked up and it's controlling people. There are things going on in society that have ruined certain groups of people and brainwashed them into falling into certain categories. Those who are in control of the "system" want this to continue and they want it to get worse and worse and worse as possible, so they can keep people organized in neat little units while they continue to fuck us all in the ass like worthless objects. People are controlled and they dont even know it. And you BETTER not think differently, and you BETTER not "WAKE UP" because if you do you'll get labled as dangerous and a threat to society, even more so than those who are totally brainwashed. I can't remember the name of it right now, but a bill has been or will be passed by the government which will allow them to seriously crack down on people it deems as being a threat because they have views that are out of the mainstream. That can cover people from Black Panthers and other black radical groups, suspect Muslim groups, crazy Christian groups, Neo-Nazis and other white radical groups, the gun crazy militia people in the mountains of Idaho, all the way to people who are just fed up with the bullshit the system is doing and they're outspoken anarchists (who don't hurt people) and 3rd party voters who don't want Democrats or Republicans. Everyone on the "outside" (whether you're good or bad) gets lumped together with this bill. People need to wake the fuck up.

Yvonne, if you KILL a guy after he punches you, in most cases you're going to jail for manslaughter.
So kill all you want, just know that the law doesn't give you a pass to MURDER someone just because they hit you.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
What makes you think the black dude was the attacker? That's not what the video shows. Now I don't know if there's more video that shows what happened prior, but the linked clip shows the black dude walking away & the green shirt pursuing him & closing from behind. That guy had to take a step foreward & spin around to throw the punch. The back of the green shirt blocks the view, so there's no way to tell if mister glass jaw laid a hand on the guy before he got cold cocked, but that shouldn't matter. He wasn't going to shoot anybody, because he was down for the count. What happened afterward is irrelevant to the question of who was attacking whom. Race has nothing to do with that. Sure you're not being blinded by preconceived assumptions?

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
Its been over twenty years, and I vaguely remember hearing about this case. But after reading about it, I can understand why the community was so incensed. Five years probation, community service, and a $500, from killing a 15 Black girl over an altercation over a bottle of orange juice. And the girl died with the money in her hand, strong evidence the girl had intended to pay for it. Thanks for the reminder about this case.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
According to an article, I just read, in Florida claims of justifiable homicide have tripled since the law went into effect. It claims the police acted properly in accordance with the law. So as long as you can come up with a good story, and your primary opposing witness is dead, the police are not even allowed to make a full investigation.

My my understanding is that Zimmerman's family has a legal background. So he could have understood the implications of the law before he left his home.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
[quote=mildcigar_2001;1119866]I agree with you, Trayvon could not finish what he started. He started off by going to the store for candy and a beverage. He was unarmed. He had no police record. He is now dead, as we know. The man with the weapon admitted to killing him. Many people are suspicious. In the mind of most, it would finished with a thorough inestigation, which would include a court proceeding. In the mind of most Americans the concept of Justice includes trial. And guess what, the officers charged with the first and only, on-the-scene investigation, felt that Zimmerman should have been charged. Perhaps he is innocent as he claimed. However, I have seen many times in the movies, where a person injured themselves, in an attemp to justify a self defense claim. So this is one reason, why so people, are seeking to understand what the real evidence is in this case, and why it is news. Violent things happen everyday, and it makes the news, also. This news story is about finishing, what was said to be, a trip to the store for candy. It's ending up to be a lseeon to ther world, about American Justice.
