when he was shot dead by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman Sorry kid, but when you make false assertions right at the beginning of your screed that support your own stereotypes & prejudices, you loose the right to be taken seriously ...

Comnment from TSP-S:
[”Junior, what if this had been a black on black crime? It would have been ok right? I mean we have blacks killing each other in droves every night in all the major cities. Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on all those murders? Or don’t they count? I imagine you live a nice sheltered life in a middle class home with parents that have done a nice job of sheltering you from the real world. that’s ok but it’s time you got exposed to how brutally savage some people are in their everyday lives. Get out a bit, take a walk thru one of the slums in your city and lets see how long you survive.”]

I seem to remember there was a ton of ‘junk’ like this out there when the Duke Lacrosse team case was the racial poster child of the moment. Didn’t some of the faculty at Duke take out an ad about the incident, jumping to conclusions while featuring themselves as tolerant progressives? Did they subsequently take out an ad to apologize to the Lacrosse team?

Given the facts I know of the case, If the roles were reversed and a black neighborhood watch captain had to shoot a Hispanic man who was beating him I would say there is no case against the shooter.
I know in my heart that that is what I would say. I always judge the facts, I never let something so trivial as race enter into the equation.
I suppose this makes me odd, I’m so happy to be surrounded by so many similarly afflicted individuals on this forum. :-)

Therefor he abandons what he believes is right to get along and in fact, be praised by his educational oppressors. Its the same story history has shown a thousand times and the result is predictable.I'm beginning to get a feel for what a rare critter I was at that age. To me, it was more important to be right--and it still is.
I can't begin to describe the ridicule and criticism I have endured over the years for being right.
It isn't easy, and it's even harder sometimes to not rub people's faces in it when you are proven that way.
But when the day is done, it is worth enduring it, and those who will graciously admit they were wrong can become allies in the future.

Shirley would be a better president. She actually knew how to run a hamburger joint.

The Martin case is the 21st Century version of the Protocols of Zion whereas racist instigators (in this case the Left and their MSM stooges) create a lie and try to destroy another race using the lie as justification.

We need to move past these ideas of stereotypes and prejudice and coexist. Only then can we make true progression within the human race.Stuff like artificial light, instant data communication, and space flight. Us neanderthals can only progress by being diverse and non-discriminatory.

“Trayvon Martin did not deserve to die.”
Yes he did. Ans so would you under similar circumstances.
