Let them judge it, that's their job. I agree zimmerman had no business going after trayvon but i don't know the facts. So let the courts figure it out.

Apparently you think only blacks are on welfare. Maybe you should add something to your sig about watermelon while you're at it.

i agree. he should not have been following the kid after the police told him to back off. i don't know if this is about "the right" to question someone, it is not against the law to question someone on the street. do you think that (assuming witness is correct) following him justified trayvon's attacking him?

My post is below. 1. I offered my opinion. 2. I didn't ask you to agree or disagree. 3. I didn't offer a snippy response to your original post. 4. I'm not "butthurt" about anything, that's your projection.

Obviously you don't agree with Obama's comment, or you wouldn't have said "seriously...what has this got to do with anything, let alone the issue? so if his son would not look like trayvon...then what?" I merely offered an alternative to your opinion, and you freaked out over it.


You underlined part of this comment... "My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon... thereby setting up the premise that it was the central point in the statement.

I don't see it that way. I see it as a lead-in and the main message is "they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we're going to get to the bottom of what happened."

I also believe that the fact of Obama being half black is going to insure that any statements he makes, similar to the one above, are going to be parsed in some quarters as evidence of stirring up racial issues. If the very same thing had happened under a white president with a white victim, nobody would give it a second thought.

we disagree then. lead in or not, it was at a minimum PART of his MAIN message. my highlight of his words does not change anything he said. i've seen to many liberal double standards when it comes to race to give your opinion that if a white president said the same thing that you would feel the same way.

obama is the president of all americans, for him to throw his skin color into this issue is nonsensical. i thought we were not to focus on skin color. you liberals constantly claim it is the right who brings up obama's skin color....yet...we see here obama brining up his skin color as if that makes him more qualified than a white president.

Not when the kid might have been killed BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN, ya idjit.

Clearly, there is a disconnect between the way you think, and the way the black community in general thinks. I saw an editorial yesterday stating that Obama "speaks for all black fathers". The victim's parents were "deeply moved" by what he said.

Obviously, you're missing something.

so obama is more qualified than a white president based on the color of his skin. nice one racst. who cares if his parents were moved. did they say they were moved by those specific words?

you liberals whine that the right brings up obama's skin color...but when he does it...it is "moving"...it is right and that because someone who leans right does not think bringing up his skin color was the right thing to do...i now don't get it.

liberal thinking:

bring up obama's skin color = racist

don't bring up obama's skin color = you don't get it

LOL
 
I've never seen someone so completely miss a point.

And yes - they said they were deeply moved...by THOSE WORDS.

Again, you're obviously missing something. Frankly, I don't think it's anything you'll ever get.

i'm missing nothing. you just love obama and must defend him. why is it bad for conservatives to bring up his skin color, but good for liberals and obama?

onceler's logic:

a white president is more qualified to deal with white issues than a black president.

Please stop compounding your stupidity & ignorance.

I've never seen someone so blind to the black experience in America. The literally dozens of threads you have started re: "if a WHITE guy did this"...I mean, it's stunning. You're a profound, profound idiot.....

"MLBs have also historically been targeted at lower-income, minority communities."

Crack usage is higher among blacks than whites.

African Americans have a 1.6 percent use rate
Whites have a .8 percent use rate

Air Jordans:
"An over priced pair of shoes made by Asian kids and sold to ghetto trash and wanna-be ghetto trash in the US and elsewhere. Typically purchased by people who can't remotely afford them and so are willing to make sacrifices (such as not feeding their kids, selling food stamps, etc.) to obtain them."

You're not fooling anybody, racist.

thread number 200 about the trayvon incident by \\\legiontroll///

this issue has been discussed in numerous other threads. why is it you need to create yet another thread about it?

if the 911 tape i heard is true, then race does in fact appear to be a factor. we don't know if the killing was racially motivated yet. your stupid pictures prove nothing. kindly stop littering the board with your trolling.

thank you.
 
We have a concept over here that states that a self defence justification requires that the force meted out is proportionate to the level of risk. I can't see how that works in this case as Trayvon Martin was unarmed. If Zimmerman had used a pepper spray or similar then that would be proportionate. Of course I should point out that peppers sprays are illegal here as well except for the police.

Cite for what, narcissist? His parents comments?

Good golly, miss molly - it's in half of the news stories on this topic. They made the comment yesterday - I posted it earlier in this thread. Do your own work.
