re: “They would be bigots. And prejudiced. I’m not among them.”

So, if I understand what you’re saying, you think the media is simply trying to be accurate when they keep refering to Zimmerman’s neighborhood as a “gated community”?

And, if I’m wrong please correct me, you think that anyone who believes the media IS attempting to create a template of “bigoted white community vs. poor black kid” by constantly using the term “gated community” are themselves racist and bigoted?

Just wondering.

The media is using the term “gated community” as bigots in furtherance of their meme - and a few people here are eating that crap with a spoon, and believe it as gospel.

The rest of us can see through the meme, and know that the media - especially MSNBC and Rev. Al are using this case to foment racial tensions, and incite further violence.

Anyone saying “gated community” is synonymous with “mansions” and/or “bigoted white community” is indeed showing their own prejudice and bigotry, and are falling victim to the media meme.
