Apparently when the perpetrators are black, we have to use "nice" language so as not to offend anyone. Anyone who commits a grossly unprovoked violent crime like we see in this video is a sub-human. Any race.

I have been on CD quite awhile and I'm very familiar with his type of rhetoric as well as others, this is why I addressed this matter the way that I did

I'm fully aware but I was not just talking about this post, but all of the other ones as well. I guess that you will agree with him that Trayvon Martin is a savage as well?

Uh, neither will most blacks that are not familiar with that surrounding either. You cannot deny the fact that there are some whites that would treat the well dressed blacks in the same manner

Uh, what about that makes it wrong to profile in the case that I mentioned?

I've been out to a party in rural South Carolina around a bonfire, and some stuff started to go down. Some dumb drama. We were all white, but I'm more of a city guy. I stood out and was obviously not from the immediate area and only new 2 people there...more and more of the good old boy type started to show up and I started hearing some comments along the lines of "who the f*** are these new people?". If it makes you feel any better, I decided not to hang around with them either.


And no, I don't know of a single white that would treat black businessmen in the same way as Baltimore thugs. Maybe I don't run in those circles, but my guess is you don't know any either.

I see what you're trying to do here...that's an entirely different issue, and we don't have video evidence do we?

Even if it turns out that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman, it's hardly at the same level as the animals in the video of this thread. Being provoked to violence is a different matter. Not excusable, but a different matter nonetheless.

If it turns out that Zimmerman was the aggressor from the beginning, then physically attacked Trayvon and shot him, I will say Zimmerman is a sub-human as well.

But that's a moot point. Why is it that you have to deflect when there is a conversation about black on white violence?

What I was getting at was that there are some whites that treat a black man in a suit the same way as you would treat one in actual gang attire

Yes, I do realize certain profiling comes with common sense with dealing with self preservation.

Ok, before you get your panties in a bunch, I was pointing out the fact that a certain individual on this post refers to blacks regardless of the situation as animals and sub-humans and not whites doing the exact same thing. As far as the video in this post, I agree with you, there is no excuse for their behavior. Besides that how do you figure that I'm deflecting from the conversation about black on white violence.

Did he know them? Was he hanging out with them?

I need more information.
It's not going to be called a hate crime because there is no way to prove it was racially motivated.
