republicans : why are you mad black people?
black people: because we fear for our childrens lives.
republicans: you lying evil person who is only trying to make me feel bad.
Good luck with the reply.
He doesn't feel like admitting he didn't think about it, at least not in the 4 or more posts of mine which he is ignoring.
You claimed group think from myself and several others here, I pointed out that 99 percent of the people sharing your opinion are white men. Take out that moron "Suzie" whatever, and it's 100%. Either way, you are being very hasty in clearing yourself of this "group-think".
That's great, but Superfreak has the "I know you are but what am I" taunt copyrighted so you are going to have to pay him a user fee for that.
No, I don't feel disappointed in you, you are taking this very personally, it's not about that for me. What you believe is largely irrelevant to me personally. I don't want to say "I couldn't care less" because it's rude, but...
However, when you come on here and lecture myself and others, then I must respond. If I don't, then yet another white guy has silenced a voice that has great right, and need, to be heard.
us hire guys?
what the hell does that mean
us hire guys?

Yeah it is open season on blacks in inner cities. But you and BAC don't care about that. Hell you still think Zimmerman is white.
That's right the lecturing is only for you and other perceived victims. Us white guys just gotta sit by and take it and not utter a word because some white guy a really long time ago did some fucked up shit.
It is ashame how warped the minds of you BAC, Poet, Desh and Howey are.

[h=2] This message is hidden because I Love America is on your ignore list. [/h]
LOL, ah the sweetness of ignore.
so you think it was ONE incident and that incident was long long ago?
I have MUCH more of an issue w/ the bolded than I do w/ the recent verdict. Without knowing the underlying facts of that case, my initial impression would be that it is a miscarriage of justice.
The prosecution didn't make a definitive case on this; even many on the side of GZ being guilty agree with that assessment. "Reasonable doubt" is a cornerstone of our justice system. There are plenty of things that I can't stand about the way that GZ conducted himself in this instance, but to prove murder or manslaughter, the standard for reasonable doubt is high.
I wouldn't have been shocked if the jury came back w/ guilty, but I thought it was borderline at best, based on the case that the prosecution presented. It's not enough to want GZ to be guilty; the prosecution has to prove it, beyond a reasonable doubt.
Marissa Alexander Gets 20 Years For Firing Warning Shot (VIDEO)
TAMPA, Fla. -- Marissa Alexander had never been arrested before she fired a bullet at a wall one day in 2010 to scare off her husband when she felt he was threatening her. Nobody got hurt, but this month a northeast Florida judge was bound by state law to sentence her to 20 years in prison.
Alexander, a 31-year-old mother of a toddler and 11-year-old twins, knew it was coming. She had claimed self-defense, tried to invoke Florida's "stand your ground" law and rejected plea deals that could have gotten her a much shorter sentence. A jury found her guilty as charged: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Because she fired a gun while committing a felony, Florida's mandatory-minimum gun law dictated the 20-year sentence.
Her case in Jacksonville has drawn a fresh round of criticism aimed at mandatory-minimum sentencing laws. The local NAACP chapter and the district's African-American congresswoman say blacks more often are incarcerated for long periods because of overzealous prosecutors and judges bound by the wrong-headed statute. Alexander is black.
It also has added fuel to the controversy over Florida's "stand your ground" law, which the judge would not allow Alexander to invoke. State Attorney Angela Corey, who also is overseeing the prosecution of shooter George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case, stands by the handling of Alexander's case. Corey says she believes Alexander aimed the gun at the man and his two sons, and the bullet she fired could have ricocheted and hit any of them.

What part of this is difficult for you to understand?
It's not about the law, it's about the application of the law.
Had this woman been white, she would not be facing 20 years in jail .. and had the person she was being threatened by was black .. she would be considered a national hero by the gun nuts.
Not understanding your confusion .. PARTICULARLY because you claim knowledge of our history and want to be taken seriously.
