A question about race..

A majority of the "baby boomers" were white?

nope ... it means that their fertility rates will be higher ... recently it was the first time that white deaths were higher than white births in this country - that wasn't the case for any other group ...

Just because you see race in everything that happens in this country doesn't mean that the rest of us do.

I know it kills you that Zimmerman was not drawn and quartered. But deal with it.

Its not just race its race division and precieved inequality.
If Obama is so great, why are millions of Americans out of work, companies folding left and right, racial tensions growing, still stuck in Afganistan, thinking of going into Syria, leading from behind.
Just to name a few failures of leadership and false promises from 08. "Shovel ready", ya know.

actually, from what I saw and read, I probably would've voted not guilty because there was enough reasonable doubt ... but do I believe his story? Nope ... still, I wasn't there and based on the evidence, there was enough reasonable doubt ... Do I think he at least was guilty of manslaughter or negligent homicide or something? Yup .. but it has to be proved, and I don't think the prosecution did, and I'd rather let a guilty man walk than convict an innocent one ...

Now, I do have a serious problem with Stand Your Ground ... I hope it gets repealed down the road ... this isn't the wild west ... time for us to grow up and stop living in Hollywood movies ...

Black people have been historically treated like **** because of their race and white people have not.

Which obviously means that blacks are herefore automatically exempt from all criticism, common sense, or need to engage in any kind of simple self-aware cultural introspection from now until the end of eternity, amirite?

Yup... Nothing irrational or unreasonable about that argument. Nothing at all. :roll:

Jesus Christ is said to have been born over 2000 years ago and he's still affecting people today. What make you think that more recent history wouldn't affect people today as well?

Blacks fought hard for equality. Today is today and they have it. Letting the race baiters keep pushing it and calling us racists every day.
Will do nothing but start turning back the clock.
I already know people who have said they will never hire a black person from this point on.

Where exactly? wtf.gif

The only people I know of who use the crucifixion as an excuse to treat other groups of people differently are a handful of fringe radical anti-Semites.

I would suggest that you give this fact some thought before you try to carry this half-cocked line of reasoning any further
 
Either you accpet Zimmermans verdict and let it go, or its only going to get uglier in this nation.
I suppose thats what the Obama's want, keep us eyeballing the small ball instead of the larger issues at hand.
Once Obama, Sharpton and company come up with a plan to attack black on black crime in the cities. I really dont care what they have to say.
One half white dummy shoots a black kid and everyone is willing to flush 60 years of civil rights advancements down the drain.
Black people in general better start looking at who is speaking for them and finding out what damage those people are doing.
Dont allow the race merchants to set us back.

Actually, blacks are still discriminated against in housing, education, employment, the justice system, the media and in many other areas of society as a population. Black people also experience a great deal of personal racism in their individual lives. The right's inability to acknowledge this is one of the reason's why it attracts so few black voters.

It's not 1950 anymore. Black people can do whatever the **** they want.

Blacks are still not discriminated in housing. Get your real estate license and see. There are plenty of "steering laws" on the books to combat that.
Education? Really? Please. Black kids that want to learn will learn, those that dont. Wont, just like white kids.
The clock is being turned back and back lash growing thanks to Sharpton, Obama, Smiley, Brown, Rush and the like that will damage everything MLK worked for and gave his life for.

Yet more totally rational and well thought out arguments from TPD. :roll:

"Screw the rules! We've got the race card!"

You know what's really holding African Americans back from the success they desire in this country, TPD? People like you.

They sure can do whatever they want.
But what is it they want? They willing to go back to 1950? They willing to forgo everything that was gained?
White people like myself dont like being called racist for no reason. I was for along time on here telling everyone that Zimmerman was and idiot, just not criminal.
But Trayvon shoulders much of the blame. But many black talking heads find statements like that racist in it self when it isnt.
