Bill Cosby: George Zimmerman Acquittal Not About Race
breitbart.com ^ | July 18, 2013

Comedian Bill Cosby says the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Florida teen isn't about racism.

Cosby, an outspoken voice on cultural issues, says the recent trial did not prove that Zimmerman had racist motives at any point during his confrontation with Martin. That means race shouldn't be a part of the conversation regarding the case.

“Let’s not go into a racial discussion unless we really have something there,” he told radio hosts Domenick Nati and Nate Foutz.

Cosby also blasted the news media and said that he had stopped paying attention to “high-profile” court cases after the Casey Anthony murder trial because journalists were so convinced she would be found guilty and yet she was not....

Regarding the Zimmerman trial, Cosby said that he did not think the state of Florida was able to prove its case against him. “I found that the prosecution did not tell the story well. And they lost,” Cosby said.

The prosecution tried to tell “the story” well, it’s just that the defense had the “the truth” on their side.

The people protesting are the dumbest of the dumb, totally incapable of understanding much of anything.

I wonder what Crosby’s take on President Dipstick’s comments was.

A moment of clarity without regard to melanin.

0bama did this. Racism was all but dead until he came along. Racists, both black and white, were anachronistic jokes five years ago. Sharpton and Jackson were all washed up and few people had a problem with blacks becoming front and center figures in all areas of American culture.

Gangsta culture notwithstanding.

These diehard race hustlers have staked their survival on convincing America that Gangsta Life is synonymous with black culture and that rejection of that criminal element is racist. 0bama has given that depraved premise the status that it needed to get traction.

Look at what happens when people like Bill Cosby and Charles Barkley speak out against supporting the idea that thug culture is OK. The race hustlers jump on them like a pack of wild dogs. Their aim is to equate thug culture with all blacks and use the Race Card to protect it.

This is part and parcel of the Progressive agenda to break down the rule of law.

Blacks have a no snitch rule which also means a black is not to discuss the turd in the punch bowl...

The turd = black dysfunction...and the dysfunction is visible in everything we see around us...

The dysfunction always seems to roll back to violent behavior....

Speaking of violence and no snitching...why s it that 2 black males lured a black women to a roof to rape her, thow her off and the police are STILL looking for the named 2nd perp!!!

Not so fast on the pops: The racist former funny-man is saying Zimmerman walked because the prosecution blew its presentation. That’s not saying Zimmerman is innocent or anything.

He’s still looking at this “through black eyes.”

I saw an Afterburner with Bill Whittle today called The Lynching, and it explained the entire sad affair with clarity.

I'm sure he found them excellent and perfect for the moment, just like everything else Obastard says and does.

I was reading some black pop culture/entertainment site out of curiosity and they think TM did absolutely nothing wrong. I guess they think violently attacking someone is ok if they dare to look at you or follow your movements because you’re acting weird walking around their neighborhood. Low rent, ghetto mentality.

Cosby and Barkley must have missed the memo. Allen West too. LOL

I think you are correct after thinking about it.

Can I still have pudding pops anyway?

Bill Cosby - one of the few sane people out there. And don’t forget that his son was killed by a white guy (a Russian immigrant, IIRC).
