Now that a jury has considered the best evidence the State of Florida could offer against George Zimmerman, and that it did not prove that Zimmerman was either the aggressor or an intentional killer, the left has a problem. It invested what little credibility it had entirely in using George Zimmerman as a distraction from the horrific violence in black communities. The consequence, we were told before and have been told since, is that it is open season for non-blacks against blacks, and this case exemplifies how dangerous it is for blacks when they merely buy Skittles or wear a hoodie.
We are forever being told by the left about how awful this country is for anyone who is not white. Blacks are being gunned down in the streets by non-blacks. Except they're not. Muslims are being discriminated against wholesale, and are afraid to leave their homes. Except they're not. Gun owners are violent crazies bent on mass murder, except they're not. Christians are trying to force their religion on us. Except they're not. Tea Party members are racists and violent. I believe the Breitbart reward for evidence of the accusations of tea party racism remains unclaimed, even in this day of cell phone cameras and video.

To the uninformed gullible voter, or completely brainwashed and racist Liberal these are facts they refuse or want to believe.

Are you a black man? This experience could be beyond your realm of experience and you could be less than an expert.

We are an interracial family.
Do you view all blacks the same?
Using your logic, then the experience any human could be beyond the realm of experience of another no matter what background, hence the other human would be less than an expert on the first.
We are all unique. It is time for people to quit using race as an excuse.
That does not answer my question. Are you a black man is your wife black do you have adopted black children?
Yes I'm married to an Afro-American woman, and my daughter is married to an Afro-American man. Does that make a difference in your analysis?
You still didnt answer my question.
I am a woman if I am having a conversation with at man it is going to be more challenging to me to understand his experience because I am a woman.
My whole stance during this argument should illustrate that very point. People are individuals and should be judged as such. Race is not an excuse but it is a factor.
No, I am not black.
Your point of people are individuals is correct.
Since they are, then even within a ethnic population individuals will have different experiences. Your point I think you are trying to make is only a black can understand a black is so 1930's thinking.
No that is not what I am saying, although I can see how it could come across that way. I think most people have the capacity to empathize. I think however that most people do not do it. The point I am struggling to make is that someone within an experience is worth listening to because they will know their experience better than someone outside of it.
ok
my point is both GZ and TM made some questionable decisions that night that esculated the situation. If you don't like a law, then get enough people togeather to get it changed.
It is sad that TM died. Young people die every day in the US for various reasons. IMO, this case is no different than other self defense shootings. Race is not a factor in this case and the politicians should not be exploiting it.
Thank you for staying civil and yes I agree with you they both made questionable (great word to describe their choices btw) choices. I think the law should be changed or at least modified.
Thank you for having the decency to acknowledge that TM's death is sad. It is.
We will have to agree to disagree on whether or not this case is different. Obviously, think it is. I also think that race was a factor. I would not be so bold as to accuse someone I do not know of racism (meaning Z) but I do believe it was a factor.
I also agree that the motives of some involved in the circus that has erupted around this case may be subject to question, for me however, it does not mean that it has not shown the light on a legitimate problem in this country. Whatever you think the cause is, the crime rate, high school drop out rate, rate of incarceration, violence and poverty that persists in black communities around the country needs to be addressed in an effective way.
we are good. I understand your point. Do you feel the same when a white person is killed by a non white.
That is why I like to not involve the race of the individuals. Unless it can be proven beyond a shadow of doubt, saying race is a factor just leads to resentment.
Judge someone for their character not their color was a great statement by MLK.
Too many are still using race as an excuse.
If the trend continues "whites" will be the minority in the US very soon. Wonder if the "hate crime" laws, affirmative actions, diversity will apply to "whites" then? Something to think about.
I have always disliked hypen extenstions to type of people. You are either an American or you are not.

So stupid. A black man can yell racism and crowds gather. A white man can stand there and say 'No I'm not" and the calls for reverse discrimination abound. LET IT GO!! Whites, at least 95% of them, are NOT racists. Blacks, at least 50% of them, are. Know Justice, Know Peace" Can't we all just get along?
