KSU student murdered this past week/murder suspect arrested. (Decatur: lawyer, buy)

Travon definitely got a bump when the POTUS decided to chime in. You can't deny that. Same with the Boston policeman and the AA professor. That is what angers me. The "post" racial president stirring the racial pot when it can serve his agenda.

These are the stories that draw prolonged media attention.
The media even coined the term 'White Hispanic' to describe George Zimmerman; I infer that was done to underscore the sensational nature of the case.
I know we've gone somewhat OT here. My apologies.

So I post links of national media outlets providing coverage of instances of murders in which Blacks were the assailants and Whites were the victims, yet this isn't proof that such instances aren't "of interest to national media"????

I know absolutely nothing on those incidents you're talking about; are you saying that they will get the exposure that the Martin case did simply because the assailants were White and the victims were non-White?

And "White Hispanic" isn't a media-coined term. "Hispanic" refers to ethnicity, while "White" refers to race. There are White Hispanics and Black Hispanics.

Like I said, you just can't argue with someone who's committed to their agenda above all else.

Pretty sad that people don't realize that this is why the Martin incident got the exposure it did.

If that was the case, he'd make a big deal about Republican politicians who have made obvious racial/racist statements about him. Yet he's purposely backed away from such, which is almost irritating to an extent.

Please post examples of Republicans making racist statements. I don't see these at all. I see any critique of his leadership failures or any disagreement with his liberal agenda spun as racism.

The one thing I had hope for when Obama was elected was that finally we would get past some of the old racial stigmas that have held us back for so long. I am of the conservative/libertarian persuasion with my politics so I was looking for a silver lining to the hard left turn the country took in his ascendance. This one area where I thought things would get better have gotten worse. Your post proves it. You cannot critique the shortcomings of this administration without it getting labeled racist.

Instead of moving forward in the race arena, we have moved not necessarily backwards, but to a place that isn't much better and maybe worse.

And Barack Obama is biracial.

I am a White Hispanic and I know if GZ had discovered a new vaccination the NY Times would call him just Hispanic.

Really? REALLY? That's the best you can do?

Yes, I can google racist republican comments and find attack posts all over the place trying to demonize the right with the race card all day long. Show me something that is ACTUALLY racist in content.

More prrof of my assertion above.

But we digress, this is off topic, so I will leave my comments at that.

No agenda. I'm simply committed to the truth. I feel sorry for those that cant see it.
