The MSM has an agenda in "booming" this blacks death. Some of think the motive is in creating mass riots. I incline towards that view.

I will give credit to the left; they have already created a symbol-"the Hoodie"-pathos;i.e. the decedent was only carrying "Skittles" and soon we will be treated to a song that will bound to the top of the charts. Lord the left is good! They have a creative force that the conservative lacks.

TRUTH The truth of what happened will now never be known. The media has already decided who is to blame. This kid deserves the truth to be known and so does the evil racist white guy....(that's what the media wants you to view him as). This is the perfect fire starter that obama has been wishing for. This will get out of hand very soon. If this Zimmerman is found guilty, they riot, if he is found not guilty, they riot. Yet two blacks set fire a white boy because he is white.... Where is the media outrage about this?

Well, like the hypocrisy concerning Fluke/Rush/Maher, this inequality should also be exposed.

Racial troublemakers now are playing with fire, especially because Zimmerman is hispanic. If this was a hugely revealing racial incident then they are stereotyping hispanics as racist.

I believe Zimmerman also has black relatives?

Seriously. Martin was a handsome young man and this whole thing is a tragedy. Getting more tragic every day. Mistakes were made and now a 17 y.o. is dead another is fearing for his life, probably be lynched if the right (or wrong) people find him and has to live with the fact that he killed a person.

I’ve been a Freeper for a good long while and I’ve never seen a shit storm like this.

While Geraldo blames the tragic death of Trayvon Martin on his mode of dress, I believe there is another element that the MSM will studiously ignore.

Barack Obama has done more to divide this nation along racial lines than anything I can remember. “African Americans for Obama”, “Hispanics for Obama,” “Martians for Obama”, etc., etc... are just part of it. This guy’s efforts to take us the rest of the way to communism have angered many of those who may already harbor latent or outright racist tendencies.

While Obama’s anti-American behavior has little to do with his race, there are unbalanced folks out here who DO read race into that behavior. Once they cross that threshold, their warped minds can justify nearly any act, up to and including the killing of an unarmed black boy walking through his neighborhood. I fear there is more — and worse — to come.

Barack, some of Trayvon Martin’s blood — and the blood of future black and white victims of your racism — is on YOUR hands.

the scab-in-chief chimes in to ride the coattails of the knee-jerk defensiveness of the non-dark-skinned world and the natural human compassion of everyone.

he is a shameless opportunist. Just when I think he can't be more brazen, his bottomless pit of audacity astounds anew. if he calculated that it would benefit him to see blood flowing in the streets, he'd be giving away razors and machetes.

The more they rant and rave, the less interested people become in this media circus.
