MAYBE, the fact that someone is dead would be the focus of discussion, if the issue of race had not been brought up by,

1. The parents.

2 The media.

3. Al Sharpton

4. Jesse Jackson

5. President Obama. "If I had a son, he's lo0ok like Trayvon".

Just sayin, if you wanna kvetch about something, maybe you should look to the source, not the reaction.

Or both.

If people could think for themselves, everyone on your list would be irrelevant. But they eat that crap up. This is what the people want. If the demand is there, the supply will follow.

An ignorant populace should disturb you more than any single politician or newspaper. After all, which one creates and feeds the other?

I'd agree but the Al Sharptons of the world and many other leaders in the black community wouldn't have lifted a finger if this was a black on black crime. It would of been a blurb in the local news and we wouldn't be discussing it.

Of course not. You've got to be nuts to think that anyone gives a rats ass about Trayvon Martin once you subtract the political aspects. It's a racket. The whole thing is a racket. These people will extract all of the political capital they can and then duck the hell out quicker than a bank CEO circa 2008.

But like I said, the al sharptons of the world would be working at mcdonalds if millions of idiots didn't prop them up. Which worries you more? A few people, or an entire country stupid enough to buy their crap?

Many, NOT all Black people claim even octoroons, people who are 1/8th Black; when it's in their favor. Not Zimmerman tho, even tho it's been PROVEN he ain't all white. Maybe cause it'd make Al look like a fool, again.

We had posters that started out with "he's white" then their argument morphed into "latinos are white".....all in an effort to make Zimmermans stupidity a race issue.

This one is REALLY starting to blow up in the face of the racists that ranted and screamed about white people just out there gunning for blacks.

Tawana Brawley redux, too bad race baiter Al didn't learn anything the first time.

Oh, and meanwhile the media won't even release the name of the black 22yo that shot the special needs guy at taco bell in Arizona. Claimed he had a wheapon...he didn't. He was walking his golden retriever.

The race baiting backlash is going to be around for a loooooooong time. Reap the whirlwind jerks.

George Zimmerman has a multi-racial background. Big freakin deal. He shot a god damn 17 year old kid. Was he defending himself, or was he not? And if he wasn't, who gives a damn if he "profiled" (ooh scary racist word) the kid. Is shooting kids okay as long as you don't profile them first? What the hell is that all about?

It's sad that so many millions of people are so ignorant and full of their own dogmatic left/right BS that they buy into the frenzy, which really has nothing to do with the facts of the case. It's all about skittles, profiling, and SYG laws (skittles being the most relevant of the 3 IMO). Because when you push those buttons on the ignorant sheep, someone somewhere makes a killing whether it be monetary or political.

Disgusting.

No one has the least idea how this situation would have been dealt with if the circumstances were different. "It is what it is".
