I think its a very fair comparison. The point is Martin was not a child. He was not 5 yo kid. He was old and big enough to be a threat. He was big and old enough to look like he was up to no good. I hope Zimmerman gets off. I think there is more than reasonable doubt.

Yes, because walking home from the store is exactly like pointing a gun at an infant, if you have dark skin.
It's remarkable how people will blatantly show their prejudices, and then swear that they're neutral.
I support those tweets and the picture comparison.
There is nothing racist about those pictures or those tweets AT ALL. The truth hurts sometimes. Maybe one day black American's will wake up and finally realize that their culture is in complete shambles. And they have no one to blame but themselves.
See the following statistical terms for your evidence:
Abortion
Wedlock
Prison
High School Dropouts
Poverty
Unemployment
Gang Affiliation
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Black people need to wake up and smell the coffee. That their feelings are hurt every time someone calls them out is of absolutely no concern of mine whatsoever.
Good post.
If black teens want respect, they need to pull up their saggy pants, stop glorifying music that talks about cop killings and b*tches, etc. Pretty simple. You want respect from civilized society, then act like a part of civilized society. The whole thug lifestyle should be totally unacceptable in society.
Yes, because that's all the evidence some people need. A murdered 17 year-old black youth is a "hulking thug," but lily-white and 20 year-old Adam Lanza is a "kid." It was Zimmerman's brother who gave an interview stating that his brother was "squeaky clean," and that turned out to be a lie. Racism is an illness at best, and pure evil at its worst. People who believe that Zimmerman can't be a racist because of his Hispanic blood are unaware that many Hispanic nationalities are prejudiced against blacks. I suppose that's because white racists are equal opportunity haters. SMH.

BS...stop judging books by their covers. I see plenty of White kids around here dping the same thing. If someone is actually "up to no good", by all means they need to pay the price, but stop judging books by their covers. The majority of black teens aren't criminals. People do not have to dress to appease others. With all the racial profiling, the getting must be great for White criminals. While law enforcement and people like GZ and yourself are so focused on young black males, the White one can get away with murder, no questions asked. There is no denying that there are bad parents and people raising children that will become menaces to society, but racism isn't going to solve the problem.

Once again, they are ignoring Zimmerman's past history and assuming that they know exactly what was running through Trayvon Martin's head. His brother is clearly a jerk and if he were my brother, I'd have some serious issues with what he did, knowing that I was on trial. How dare he compare Trayvon Martin who was not known to be committing a crime to al alleged baby killler.
