    See how that works, when we bring racism into everything?

    It sounds like the shooter was wrong, regardless of the race of both parties involved.
    No! Racism is being used because the shooter was racist!

    See how that works? Most crimes have motives. His motive was skin color.

    You can keep pretending that we live in a perfect world where people aren't judged by their appearance, but that's not the case.

    You seem more mad about people crying racism than about the kid being shot in cold blood.

    Wonderful.

    are you kidding, what a load of bs. blacks killing whites end up in prison for life or death row. This kid was an innocent.

    +1 its not that hard

    A witness who saw the black beating the Latino guy has come forward. This is about to get interesting.
  • isadore
    if he was getting his ass beat it was his own fault, the police told him to leave this innocent kid alone and he decided to harass him.

    This story keeps getting better everyday, with the announcement of a $10,000.00 bounty being offered by the new black panthers in Chicago.
    They claim they want him alive, but the leader said the he believes in an eye for an eye when it comes to injustice.

    A 17 year old had to lose his life because of a selfless individual who hated black skin. That much we know.
    Link to him being a known racist who hated black skin or are you going by "a source who was close to him"?

    He called him. "fucking coon". I doubt that that means he loves back people.

    i would say the intial outrage is because a black was killed by a "white" guy.

    I just read a CNN article calling him a white Hispanic.

    I guess they need to start calling Obama a white african then.

    QFT.



    Really though, it's sad that there are still people in our society who cry racism at everything, and that there are also still racist people out there.

    This thread makes my head hurt. Racism doesnt have to be black on white like 50% of this thread thinks
  • rmolin73
    Thats the problem most of them aren't thinking

    Exactly. I also doubt you call te police over 30 times regarding black males because you like them.

    Link? I've seen statements from sources close to him that say he is not racist.

    Wrong. 6 calls report black males. 2 report white and hispanic and white males. The rest are not specified, or animals, or vehicles.
    .......................

    Zimmerman was wrong, but so are many people talking about this case. The cops let him go because of the witness statement and Zimmerman being bloody with grass on the back of his shirt. That is some poor police work. He should have been arrested for manslaughter, and he would have beat the charges in court. Now he is being hunted by BLACK Panthers.

    I didn't see there was a second page. Regardless, you cannot call a black man a "fucking coon" without racist intent. I'm not crying racist because the news is telling me to. I'm crying racist because the man is a racist.

    He might have said punks instead of coons. Its hard to tell. I'm not saying the guy is not racist, but there are those who say he is and isn't. Gonna be 2 sides to this entire saga. Here are some reliable links for more info.

    He shouldn't have chased after the kid. Should have been charged like some cops in Sanford wanted in the first place. He would have beat it, but now there is no way because of the political pressure.

    He shot a 17 year old kid. What groups outside of the situation are saying doesn't matter.

    Because it could have been colder for florida. It also could have been comfortable.

    What does "wearing a hoodie on Fl?" mean? Wearing a hoodie in FL, perhaps? I agree, though. It's definitely his fault for wearing a hoodie in FL. :rolleyes:
  • justincredible
    Also, wasn't it raining?
