The thread is about the actions of Zimmerman's brother. Tee shirts are off-topic. Peddle the snake oil elsewhere.

Yes it is, but have you seen someone wearing this shirt? Maybe they made it in response to the idiots who made the Travyon Martin targets. You're desperate to derail this thread huh? Now myself and a couple of others have dignified this with a response, are you happy? Your t-shirts are not the topic here. If you had posted a thread about it, it probably would have died along time ago, unless you can prove that like Zimmerman's fool of a brother that the idiots who made the shirt have any relation to Trayvon Martin.

No, I'm saying I don't stereotype all white men as mass murderers, although this is a stereotype.

Reading is fundamental apparently it's not one of your strong points.

I hope the teens rat-out the Mama of the baby.......

I think she had one of her "personalities" help shoot the baby. I realize someone said bi-polar but I know a bi-polar and he does have a darker personality, to handle the abuse he had as a child...

Yes, because white children all listen to nothing but the finest classical music, and always show exquisite taste in clothing.

Let's be real, if every black kid in the US started wearing suits, folks would scream that they were trying to imitate the Mafia. The "violent black male" is a racist trope that's been around since roughly emancipation. It's particularly funny that it's being invoked on Trayvon Martin, who we know ran away from a hostile George Zimmerman.

I understand what you're saying and I do not disagree with the stats (said this several times now and won't say it again), but it still doesn't change the fact that the majority of Blacks are not criminals.

Another thing I find troubling about you and those who site those stats over and over again is that you refuse to discuss institutional racism. You refuse to acknowledge the fact that Blacks are given harsher sentences than Whites for the same crime or that Blacks are more likely to be convicted of crimes that they are arrested for than Whites. You refuse to acknowledge that racial profiling plays a part in this or that poverty has anything to do with it.

Yes there are issues within the Black community. I've said it many times now, some if them in response to your posts (not going to tell you this again either), but I cannot have an indepth discussion with someone who has no intention other than to bash black people. I am a mother. I do everything I can do to build up the self-esteem and spirit of my children, but people like you think it is okay to beat them down mentally and tell them that they don't deserve the same rights as everyone else because of a few criminals who have nothing in common with them but their African ancestry. I teach them not to judge a book by its cover, so it's only logical that they would expect the same respect from others. I don't think that's asking too much and I am not going to accept bigotry or discrimination because YOU and some others feel that it's okay based on the fact that some Black males choose to commit crime.

I have responded to you, perhaps you can respond to some of the issues I brought up in my post. I am tired of hearing the same old broken record bull crap over and over again and if you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Complaining on discussion boards isn't going to help anyone. Since you are so concerned about the Black community, what are you doing to help?
I've had this conversation with him many times. I, too, have asked him what he is doing to help. I myself do everything that I can to help. One thing that doesn't help is parading around on the internet saying "Look at what these black people have done! But I'm not like them so you should do something about them!"

Many cultures overcame racism without forming a garbage can culture, which is exactly where it belongs, Please quit your denial.

Hispanic nationalities are prejudiced against blacks.
I suppose that's because white racists are equal opportunity haters. SMH.
And many blacks are prejudiced against Hispanics!

Well, I guess we are all idiots because we are white, you should put yourself in our shoes and see how asinine this behavior looks from the other side! We are not stupid!
