Well at least you're honest about being racist. It's obvious from the birther threads that you feel the same way about the POTUS. It must drive you absolutely nuts that there is nothing you can do about it. LOL

It's the old "look alike" gambit. This reminds me of my days back when I played tennis, or rather tried to play tennis. Anyway, I spent a pretty good chunk of change on a racket. A day or so later a friend of mine and I met to play. Coincidentally he had also just purchased a new racket and it looked a whole lot like mine. As I recall, the strings were even the same color. The thing was; he spent a fraction of what I spent. In fact, when I told him what I spent he hooted with laughter. He held up his racket next to mine and with a chuckle proclaimed that I had been chumped.

Well, we stepped out onto the court to play and after warming up with a couple of easy swings, we decided to play a couple of sets. I served first and my friend was all set to send a hard return right back down the sideline. He took a big swing and hit the ball right in the sweet spot of his racket. Well, the racket collapsed like a cheap lawn chair in a hurricane, and two seconds later his racket was holding the ball in loose strings like a lake trout in a fisherman's net. Point is; the only thing you can judge by looks is a beauty contest, and even that is subjective.

You don't think that Zimmerman called his parents the night he shot Trayvon Martin? Considering the legal background that they have, I'd think him a fool if he didn't. Just sayin'.

I know, that was pretty darn funny considering Trayvon's family hired a PR person to produce the whole narrative. And the Martin's family atty has now been caught lying under oath, as well as the star witness he found.

A thug, a thug's family and a thug attorney. Don't expect any truth to come from the Trayvon side of the case.

Thats like saying if whites want respect they should stop molesting little kids.

I did it multiple times by the age of seventeen, I guess that makes me a thug. Smh.
It is not a few. Your attempts to minimize the black youth criminality is troubling. When compared to other teens Blacks are multiple times more likely to commit a violent crime. Why do you thinks folks should simply ignore these facts? Why should people not take precautions?
