Since George Zimmerman is a 32-year-old Hispanic male, has anybody checked on his whereabouts?

Oh the news stories and CD debates that would break out if that were the case.......

Why I think BLM's a sick joke is where is their rage against the MAIN killer of young Black dudes since it def ain't racist cops.

1619 – 2015 = 396 years 100%
1619 – 1865 = 246 years of slavery 62%
1865 – 1964 = 99 years of apartheid. 25%
1619 – 1964 = 345 years of legal oppression of blacks. 87%
1964 – 1990 = white racism remained entrenched, but illegal. 4%
1619 – 1990 = 361 years of overt racism and discrimination against blacks. 91%
1990 – 2008 = increased integration and racial tolerance.
2008 – 2015 = election of first black president racial tension increase.

Over 90% of African Americans are descendants of the enslaved in America.

All actions have REACTIONS. An approximately 400 year period where 91% of that period was characterized by the actions of overt racial oppression against black people, followed by a small tapering off period of racism. Why are we having debates? Why are we agreeing to disagree? The only thing, besides the lack of intelligence, that would keep any sort of debate alive, concerning why the black community as a whole is the way it is and does what it does, is the continuation of that 400 years of racism. The fact that there is debate means that racism is alive and well because there is not a damn thing to debate given the evidence and facts.

We live in a period in which racism is simply feeding off the consequences of past racism. Again, every action creates reactions. A people spending 91% of their existence, out of a 400 years period in a land under overt racial oppression, can and has created racial damage to those people. Current racist then use that damage to caste aspersion and give reason to justify their current racism. It's an evil cycle of self-perpetuating racism in which they must first discredit the idea that the dysfunction that manifest has something to do with past racist actions (spending 91% of 400 years under overt racial oppression). Who would subscribe to such reasoning but a racist and or an idiot?

The bottom line is that racism and racist are alive and well, of the white variety. They don’t deny that these things occurred, because that would quickly discredit them. What they are really arguing is that those things occurred, but that they don’t account for black dysfunction relative to whites. However, because they are cowards dealing in subterfuge, they will not say what does account for the dysfunction, which they see as “organic” to the nature of black people, because to do so would expose them. In other words, if racism is known by arguing that “A” = “C” then those cowards will instead argue that A = B and that B = C….thus avoiding saying directly that A = C. It’s a game of asymmetrical racism characterized by camouflage and subterfuge.

It’s like the guy walking down the street and all of a sudden starts waving his arms wildly and swinging and attacking the air. You, from a distance, cannot see that he has walked into a swarm of small gnats and he is trying to keep them out of his face. If someone wants to narrate that his is mentally unstable, then they would show the video of his behavior but leave out the action that was creating his reaction. They would show him acting “crazy” for no reason to further their agenda. That is what racist attempt to do for blacks. They need to try suppress what our behavior is a reaction to (that 400 years) and just show us behaving badly so that it fits their “organic” narrative. SMH.

America has not OWNED its wrong doings. Instead, America wants to blame the consequences of its wrong doings on the people it wronged.

Charleston murders: a LOT of us anglo white people were pissed AND wished that Dylann Roof had been dropped BEFORE being arrested and jailed. Low life loser.

Maybe not. Word is race relations are now BETTER in what was the Jim Crow South than in many "liberal" areas of the US here in 2015.
