Case in point ... this guy calls it what it is, and is spot-on ... it's worth the watch:

It sure is a shame that the tragic death of a young man needs to be avenged by hurting people and spilling more blood. I blame the media for whipping this into frenzy and making it a black white issue.
GZ was tried in a court of law and found not guilty. If you have a problem with that can I remind you that OJ was found not guilty and white people didn't protest and start beating up blacks to get revenge.
Black people are their own worse enemies.

Thank God the DOJ is really vigilant for these kind of racist deprivations of civil rights and will take this as seriously as they do reaming Zimmerman with double jeopardy and investigate this and prosecute fully so that..oh, they're white.

Nevermind.

Whites don't have civil rights or even register on the DOJ radar as even existing.

I'm okay with protesting something, but these people are really taking it a bit far, as people tend to do. It's in their nature.

Its funny how when a white person does something, it is viewed as an individual act. When a black person does something; however, we are all grouped together. I was never out protesting. I've just been working, or home taking
care of my children. Not all black people are out protesting. And not all the people out protesting are black. Most people are just going on with their lives by now.

What you are saying makes a lot of sense. I always tell people when you are making a point and you feel that the person's color is pertinent to what you are saying, at least have the decency to say, "SOME black people, SOME white people, etc." No group of people are monolithic and it is ignorant and unfair to base the actions of some clowns on an entire group of people.

That's utterly ridiculous. You're not being oppressed in any way, shape or form.

Have a white mob assault a black woman and watch what happens.

Reverse it and you get what happened here; nothing.

We. Do. Not. Count.
