If there is one word that I am frankly sick of hearing...it is the word “progress”.

I guess African Americans have “progressed” by keeping themselves in poor neighborhoods, having 80% of their children out of wedlock, leading the country in arrests, and the general malaise that voting for Democratic leaders in their cities has brought on throughout these many years?

Progress...indeed.

“Progress” = REPARATIONS

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And if they get what they want.......it will NEVER be enough. Never. Just like a bottomless pit.

I suppose there will soon be laws that prohibit a Caucasian
from defending himself/herself against black aggression.
It will be considered retribution for past evils.

We all know that this Florida case would never have seen the
light of day had the participants been of the same race.

Dear Olivia,

Rodney king was committing a felony (Evading police at over 100 mph) when he got stopped.

I guess Trayvon was like Rodney - breaking the law by assaulting George Zimmerman.

I have a newsflash for you, Olivia. When I am threatened, I will defend myself and my family. I don’t care if you are white, black, red, purple, green... I’m an equal oportunity defender.

Olivia: With all due respect, you’re an idiot, as is your basic thesis.

Another freeper already suggested that this crime be called "resisting retribution."

What’s interesting is on the main page, the thread above this one is about Gary Ackerman saying the people have gotten dumber. Ahh what does he know. Then I read this.....

Seen this???? This guy just sat there and took it. NATCH he was from the Netherlands (and probably couldn’t IMAGINE that he could be targeted). No one came to his defense.

This article is smug, smarmy, racist crap.

Clearly, the author is both a pinhead and a racist.

Criminal kid “staying” (they never live anywhere) with the baby daddy casing out the next place to rob is followed by someone. That someone turns to leave and criminal follows him and physically assaults him.

If GZ wanted to murder someone, why does he wait until he gets beat up and potentially unconscious with a complex full of witnesses to then fire off one shot?

This is a political maneuver by the prosecutor appointed for this reason. The charges should be knocked out by the stand your ground motion. Prepare for the riots that will follow ANY verdict.

How does race enter into it at all? Hispanic kills black in self defense is somehow symptomatic of an entire culture??

No. It’s an opportunity for the race hustlers who feared a white country elected a black president would put them all out of business. This is a “we still need black studies affirmative action race card can still be played” moment to exploit.

Ah, Cornell must have a very, very, very strong commitment towards enrolling the mentally handicapped. There is no other possible explanation for this retard occupying a slot that an educable person could be occupying.

Admitted on merit or “affirmative action”?

I’m guessing the latter.

Sorry Olivia. America has failed you and not provided you a decent education that would result in fair reasoning.

I am truly sorry you will always be a victim due to a thing that is entirely out of your control but well within mine.

Know this, I do not and never would begrudge a single thing you wished for and worked for.

That is about as racial as gets babe. Grow up. The world ain’t against you so much as your thought process is.

“If GZ wanted to murder someone,....”

then why would he call the cops first?

That’s the response I use to any of the Martin sympathizers when they say “How do you know Zimmerman didn’t have malicious intent when he followed Trayvon?”. So far, I haven’t gotten a single response.
