Of course whites won't march in the street over racism in this case, not much wiggle room for these guys to have white folks worried they will get away with killin' another white man. The long history of our grand and glorious Republic has given White folks a most excellent reason to truly believe 'justice' will be handled out to the murderers. There isn't much history of all black juries letting black murderers off even in the face of a mountain of evidence. White folks can't claim the same.
The cries or racism and outrage along racial lines seem to be coming from OUTSIDE my home state. I am kinda proud of us Okies in this case. Guess we figure there are a lot of reasons for kids to turn bad and do outrageously vile things.
I have noted some right wing kook websites attempting to push the race agenda- the WND posting pics of three very dark boys as the three suspects when we know that is wrong- did anyone ever apologize for that or explain how that happened?
So while some are quick to post the 'whitie' facebook slurs I wonder if these thundercats did the same with blacks? Most thuggers think they can take on the world so they are just as abusive to 'their own kind' as any other race of social group. Might not be quite the racism as just attack words, like say down in the basement here, using gay slurs to get personal with other men, or calling all women skanks, or unable to vote 'logically'.
Anywho, I don't think the fairer skinned folks in Duncan have to worry about the three kids being charged and standing trial like the folks in Florida worried about.
Why should they?
White people are just as bad when it comes to being criminals. .
They shouldn't.
Then why are you whining about it?
I'm whining, because in the opposite situation there would be people marching in the streets. Could you imagine if three white kids went and killed a non-white because they were "bored" and "wanted to experience killing someone"... ? People would be marching, if not rioting, in the streets. I'm whining because if we want to be a post-race society we can't be judging these situations strictly on the basis of race. Which is what happens far too often.
Really? Where were the riots following this crime in the same state?

Folks all over the world fretted and the case was made a cause celebre simply because Sharpton, Obama and Jackson involved themselves. But ultimately, after all the expense, hubbub and publicity the jury arrived at the identical conclusion as the initial police investigation and said, rightly, that the case should never have been brought to trial. Was the 'stand your own ground' law involved in any way in this latest case? Probably not.
All due respect, but SYG wasn't involved in the zimmerman case. The defense did NOT use it.
Right, they did not. But the law was still there and it must have played a roll in the initial police investigation. The jury recognized that it was clearly a case of self defense, as did most any rational person, and the Zimmerman defense did not need the SYG anyway.
Thanks for the 'all due respect' by the way!!

Since you seem unable to predict things that are happening, I doubt your ability to predict things that have yet to occur.
And your claim to desire a post-race society is proven to be a lie by your constant race-baiting and imaginary victimhood
Stop confusing him with facts!!
He's already got enough on his plate trying to create a society that doesn't judge things strictly on the basis of race by judging crimes and the reactions they get strictly on the basis of race

Set aside politics for a second...
This case was certainly a "hate crime" however the reality is that these teenagers thought they were bored - now they have 25 (at minimum) years of bordem ahead of them.. Well that is unless real gangsters get a hold of them (which they will)....
These kids have two choices now "be gangsters" in the joint or "be bitches."
Their wannabe "manhood" is over or it has just begun - either way they're getting screwed...
They're pawn "bitches" amongst their new peers now.
My..how terrible for them...Poor little kids...
I wonder how Chris Lane's family, friends, teammates, fiance feels about these poor boys future?
Agreed. Just saying tho.
I suppose my point was a "hate crime" would just be the exclamation point on the sentence...
In the end they will get their cup of tea....
Sure the fact they weren't charged with a hate crime really shows how biased our "system(s)" are but that still doesn't change the fact that these kids will get hell - and rightly so.
Oh..Ok..Sorry for being abrasive...The whole thing pisses me off almost beyond words....
Really now? People were marching in the streets over TM strictly based on their perceptions of what happened because of his race was my doing? :roll:
