That fuels tension, you know. Black females don't like seeing a black man with a non-black woman.

I have a friend that is black and is married to a white, he says he gets the most hate (actually, the only) coming from black females, but this is over in AL.

Yes and latino men dont like seeing a latina woman with a white guy. I used to get crap from latino males all the time. They just dont like seeing a puerto rican girl with a white guy, it just angers them

I dated a black girl when I lived in vegas and always got dirty looks from black males

There's a lot of reverse prejudice out there as well

I am originally from Philly...To start off, crime in Philly exists where there are weaker men/women who try to live in peace and harmony then become astounded when they find out the reality of living in Philly..

N Philly or even around the campus of U of Penn, Drexel Univ. or Rutgers in Camden NJ are not good areas to walk at night regardless of your race. One night as I was travleing through Rutgers Univ campus in my car I noticed a car full of kids cocking a shotgun with one hand...HOLY CRAP...From that night on I began carring my weapon legally. Parents need to take heed why their children grow up and become a neighborhood terror.

It begins with the parents and the kids peers. Tough love should be implimented.

I am throughly disgusted about hearing racial issues. Who cares if a person is white, red, latino, asian or black? I don't ! !

Im with you on this actually. I actually like posting with you since we seem to agree on a lot of things or have similar points of view

True about racism, who the f*ck cares? This Trayvon Martin case is a tragedy, simple enough

As far as this whole fiasco goes, Im shocked that it happened in Sanford. I have read Sanford has always had racial tension, I never knew this (but then again I NEVER go to Sanford) But the fact that it happened in the Orlando Metro area is sad to me and it shows that this city hasnt progressed like many of us believed

I would have expected something like this to happen some where in FL north of Daytona Beach or points further north such as Gainesville, Ocala, Or Jacksonville. Aka South Georgia

Lets let them do the investigation and see what they come up with. I wasnt there so I dont know what happened, its between Zimmerman, Trayvon and God. If the investigation concludes Trayvon's death was wrongful, Zimmerman can rot in prison. If he truly did act in self defense, by the Stand Your Ground Law, he deserves no jail time. But only time will tell over the next few weeks as the investigation continues

You're wrong about Mexicans. Mexico received more slaves than the US did. Mexico has totally absorbed the Blacks to the point that are very few people there with a visible black phenotype. Watch the Black in Latin America Documentary and check out the last episode about Mexico. Or check out a book called Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World.

Funny, If this had happen in Philly he would've been arrested and most likely raped and abused in jail. Either that or the streets would've stepped in and it wouldn't be pretty for him OR his family. But here in Tragic Kingdom......Nothing.
In fact he'll probably get way. If your Black and reading this DON'T dare move here!!

You know its funny how backward you claim Orlando to be. And yet, being from a northeastern state myself (Connecticut) the major cities up north are FAR more segregated than Orlando is. And the people there are a lot less tolerant

Hows that for backwards
