People that continue to deny that racism exist in America are delusional. It certainly does in pretty much all people, no matter the ethnicity. Most control it, some don't. Was it involved in the tragedy in Sanford? We don't know, hopefully a full investigation will determine all the facts including that. What is clear, the Law is bad and needs to be thrown out. The shooter should be incustody or house arrest until some determination can be made about charges or not. I don't think they even know where he is at this time. He could be anywhere, including out of Country.
I didn't say Zimmerman was scared or a racist. What I said was that the only thing worst than a racist with a gun is a scared racist with a gun.
It's very interesting that folks automatically ascribed both labels to Zimmerman.
It's actually easy to assume that, since this forum concerns Trayvon, and Mr Zimmerman. If you were not referring to the subject of this forum, maybe you should start you own, instead of interjecting abject nonsense and references not associated with the topic at hand.
I doubt Zimmerman would have shot him if the kid didn't attack him. People bringing racism into this are just conspiracy theorists with no evidence.
If the young man attacked Mr. Block Watch, Block Watch would still be wrong, because that block watching fool should not have been following the young man in the first place.
A ghetto is just a place in a city where poor people live. It's not race based. There are white "ghettos" (practically the entire Applachians region is a "ghetto") and Hispanic "ghettos" all over the country. The only reason they aren't called ghettos is b/c it's not Blacks living there.
Trust that whatever living conditions you associate w/ Black ghettos are found anywhere where poor Whites live.
You're arguing with somebody who obviously has limited education he'll never understand. I've moved on . Just like this NCN woman who cry's about Blacks voting for Obama but ignores the millions of Racist whites who WONT vote for him Only because he's black.
Look, every ghetto or what is considered a ghetto I have been near or driven through, has been predominately black. OTOH, how do we determine what a ghetto is? I mean, what qualifies as a ghetto.
Hmmmmm, if an area such as Chinatown which consist of mainly chinese is called what? What about area with all mexicans? I guess the jewish areas dare not be called "ghetto" either. Enclaves were the wealthy live are called what? From your limited travel expenses to your miniscule thinking process you have come up with the assinine fact that only blacks live in ghettos, come to think of it what were you doing in the so-called ghetto anyway? Were you looking for drugs or hookers?
Their kid went to the local convenience store to buy refreshments and was gunned down on the way home.
The cops know exactly who the gunman is but wilfully do not arrest anyone. I get that there may be legal subtleties that prevent the cops from making an arrest, but for parents who have just lost their son, it sounds like "bla bla bla self defense bla bla bla we did the right thing not arresting you son's killer." Do you honestly not see how they feel that the justice system has utterly failed them?
