George Zimmerman

Trayvon Martin

" We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin." - President of the United States Barack Hussein 0bama

It’s ridiculous to think a race-baiter like Oprah Winfrey is anything other than a female Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

Al does a much better job managing his weight than Oprah...

The race card is the only thing the racialists have left.

Race was certainly involved. If a white parent had done as terrible a job of raising a child as Trayvon’s parents did, the police would have locked him up much earlier. If a white boy had been caught in as many misdeeds as Trayvon, the school system would have stepped in to teach him that actions have consequences.

As for racism against Trayvon (if you don’t count the above real instances of racism that actually harmed Trayvon), I’m more than a little skeptical. I doubt that GZ’s last thought before pulling the trigger was, “my nose is broken, the next blow might knock me out cold, and this kid just threatened to kill me, I’d let all that pas if he was a white Hispanic like me, but since he’s a black kid with Skittles I’m going to shoot him.” I’ve been assaulted by thugs, and that wasn’t how my mind operated under pressure. Oprah is, as usual, wrong.

Where are her facts...she has none.

I’m so glad I stopped watching Oprah over a decade ago. She’s gonna alienate her white female viewers if she keeps up with this race baiting.

Oprah, it’s impossible to look at you and think hideously fat isn’t involved!

“FORREST WHITAKER: This movie reminds us that the circular motion of things is trying to work themselves out, is still going on, as in Emmett Till. And now we’re looking at Trayvon. We’re looking at Oscar Grant, looking at all these situations and recognizing that we have to move ourselves forward in order for us to achieve our potential or what we said we’re going to do. “

What the f*** is this guy trying to say?

Here's a little message for all of the Trayvons who want to change our self defense laws...

The Racist Roots of Gun Control.

SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “black leaders” line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.

The Castle Doctrine & Stand Your Ground – The Trial of Dr. Ossian Sweet TheConservativeTreeHouse

No Guns for Negroes Part One (video 10:00)

No Guns for Negroes Part Two (video 9:45)

Equal Gun Rights (video 0:52)

The Never Again Campaign (video 0:30)

Yes, the liberals and race pimps made sure it was about race.

It is ridiculous to think that self defense was not involved.

And, interestingly the all white women (one black puerto rican) deserted their “oprah-demographic” and did not convict a person of self-defense against a gangsta thug. Oprah NEVER had a show about gangsta-thugs.... because THAT and community organizing was what supported Rev. Wright’s “church”.

opies chickens are coming home to roost. And.. she is now irrelevant she is shocked to learn.

Yes, Oprah - RACE WAS involved - on the part of obama/jesse, Al - you - et al - and on trayvon’s part - ‘candy-a cracker’

The only one not racist was Zimmerman

Emmitt Till was in 55. NO relationship whatsoever to the zimmerman case. In the black and white drawing, put a joint in oprah’s hand— she’s pie eyed. And, desperate.

I think if Zimmerman had been attacked by a white teenager, he’d have done the same thing.
