the Latino caucus seems to want to go along with the 'whitewash' of Zimmerman (pun intended)

With all information available from media and publicized information from the Sanford PD..... Zimmerman acted within the law an was in fear of his life IMO....
That said those trying to incite racial violence an the murder of Mr Zimmerman need to be brought up on charges an tried by jury.
My opinion only...

Why, in America, almost 150 years after slavery, is African-American life not valued at the same level as their white counterpart?
Look how you treat each other in the black community. If you don't treat yourselves or those who share the same color skin with respect, how the hell do you expect anyone else to give you respect?

Gangsta legislators don gangsta garb. How appropriate. The real shame is they probably represent their constituents very well.

They do that for a living.

My suggestion for the legislators....wear your hoodies from 10PM to 2PM out on the streets of your district. Just one night. My guess is that none of them have the guts to drive around town for four hours, in their hoodie, and make them seen by their adoring fans at that time day.

The NY Slimes calls Zimmerman a white Hispanic.
I’d like to ask some well known Hispanics if they are a white or black Hispanic.
Is J Lo a black Hispanic?

Goes to show you how racism is alive and well with the black community.

No photos yet - - -
Apologies to all from our adopted state.
I’m sure the legislators looked charming and dignifed while in session - role models - NOT
Unfortunate that our legislators felt the need to lower
themselves - - -
A sign of solidarity, I’m sure.

I have a hoodie, too, but know where it is appropriate and not.

..."Why, in America, almost 150 years after slavery, is African-American life not valued at the same level as their white counterpart?" said Assemblyman Steve Bradford, D-Inglewood. "If the roles were reversed, I assure you, there would be an African-American in jail right now facing possibly the death penalty." So by saying ths, he's not only clainming that the Sanford Police are racist, but there is an active conspiracy going on.

The lawmakers, led by the legislative Black, Latino and Asian Pacific Islander caucuses... It's almost like watching crime families, in 1920's Chicago, consolidate their power.
It is just amazing what is going on in this country...

Why don't you go into the hood and ax all the brothers that kill all the NO_LIMIT_NIGGAS, every day in every city.

I wish all these morons wanting to use the Trayvon situation would forgo the hoodies and climb into body bags instead, and then shoot themselves...

one wonders if they’ll apologize to zimmerman should the facts support his side of the story?
then again one doesn’t.

So, at least we have some California politicians outing themselves as thugs and racists? Good. Is the African community offended again? [Note to “offended”: Liberia was founded for disaffected free Blacks. It's still in business. Bye-bye.]
To: OCCASparky
Yes, why do they continue to kill one another?
Back in the late 80’s the early evening news showed another body of a young black teen shot and killed by another young black teen. (many were 13 to 15 years old).
One of the news reporters stated:” There is no answer to it, no solution!”
Suddenly it hit me, we had just read that morning;”By mercy and truth iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.”(proverbs 16:6)
In our teaching I found these children had been taught nothing about the LORD, they had the mind set; when you are dead, you are dead, and that is all there is to it.”
To me that is fatalism and dispair, there is no hope to a generation that all people have no hope and life in the Saviour, Jesus Christ, whom God sent, not to condemn, but to save. (John 3:17)
