No way can we have elections in that climate.
Not until The Emergency is declared over. (When hell freezes).
You have your trust in the right place. :)

“Victims of YOU and ME, and every Whitey out there. No matter what steps a predominantly white establishment took to secure and guarantee equal civil rights for ALL members of society, it was never enough. Never enough for the Malcom X’s, never enough for the NAACP, never enough for the Urban League, and certainly not enough for the liberal media who led with their bleeding hearts, we as a society were taught that inside every white person, there was a Klansman hiding and eager to jump out, that a railroad tie was never ‘just’ a railroad tie, it was part of a creosote soaked cross waiting to be hoisted on the lawn of a black church, or the yard of a black family, didn’t you get the memo? WE WHITE FOLK ARE ALL RACISTS!”
“And the greatest lie foisted over these past 50+ years is the mythology that the Democrat Party is somehow the savior of blacks and all minorities when THEY were the ones who started the Klan in the first place, THEY were the ones who were turning fire hoses and police dogs on civil rights marchers in Alabama and elsewhere across the South, THEY were the ones standing in the school house doors refusing to admit black students that sought an equal education with white students, THEY were the ones who filibustered the Civil Rights Act, THEY were the ones who embraced a former Klansman (Robert Byrd of WV) and turned him into a political icon, and of course the Democrats had the audacity and sheer gall to accuse Republicans of being biased towards blacks, women and other minorities.”
There are possibly a couple of points in paragraph two that could be argued, as to their complete truth, but in general it speaks to the historical issues of the time.
Boy howdy, those two paragraphs need a whole lot of repetition, about as much as the repetition it took to pull off the “story” that Republican’s are racist. Folks, in defense of the dems in the south at the time civil rights marches were going on there were reasons galore for the, how should I put it, resistance to integration by the white population. I don’t need to repeat what those points of resistance were about, but they were in general valid.
Validity be damned, If I’m not mistaken, the Federal Government ended up being the “force” that apparently didn’t stop racism, but forced integration on a resistant community that was IMHO not quite ready for what integration would soon reveal. The validity of the reasons for resistance. Remaining comments self censored.
Racist disclaimer: I am not now nor have I ever been. But I can speak to why some are, were, or may become.
One of them was the klan and more research proved you correct, the second was the equal education point that I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of. My general sense was black schools and teachers though perhaps not funded at the same level, and that is based on a feeling not reality, were as dedicated to their students and capable of providing an equal outcome. The real issue was desegregation not equal schooling, but as I said unproven as yet by me.
Question: Is George Zimmerman more white or less white than Barack Obama?
With all due respect, George Zimmerman never made a 911 call (no matter how many times the media tells us that he did). Zimmerman called the nonemergency dispatcher.
The charging affidavit for second degree murder is careful not to call it a 911 call, although the same affidavit refers to the 911 calls made by others (such as the one on which a voice is heard yelling for help).
The City of Sanford's FAQ letter carefully makes the distinction several times:
"In this instance, the 911 calls made by neighbors in the subdivision, and the non-emergency call made by Mr. Zimmerman . . .
"[The telecommunications call taker asked Zimmerman “are you following him”. Zimmerman replied, “yes”. The call taker stated “you don’t need to do that”. The call taker’s suggestion is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be required to follow."
Nope. Not a 911 operator. A 'telecommunications call taker" at the "non-emergency" number.
Obviously, I'm not poking at you. I just found your post a convenient place to hang this factoid.
Actually, my post was an entirely suitable place to hang your factoid. I was pointing out the importance of clear, unambiguous language. That should apply to me as well. The difference between a 911 operator; and a police station “telecommunications call taker” is important (or may be an important distinction, depending on how various laws may, or may not apply in each case).
In summary, we don't have a lawfully given order, from a LEO answering a 911 call (as the MSM would have us all believe). We have (at best) a *suggestion* from a telephone receptionist. Also, as others have pointed out, even a sworn LEO could not have *ordered* Zimmerman not to follow Martin.
No doubt, this will all come out in court. Then the questions will be:
1. Are jurors smart enough to understand the distinctions?
2. Will the MSM finally give an honest reporting?
3. Will there be riots regardless?
“Nope. Not a 911 operator. A ‘telecommunications call taker” at the “non-emergency” number.”
I wonder if the police give Neighbourhood Watch volunteers that number to call, so as to more directly contact the police. Also, a N.W. volunteer might be calling just to pass on information, and not want to make an “emergency” out of every call.
This is another story that shows the foolishness of Racism. In Chicago they teach that the first permanent white man in Chicago was a black man.

Nah, they'll structure the lawsuit through a "foundation" .... make Zimmerman fight an empty paper bag. If the family sues, then Zimmerman's money flows through the paper bag to them. If Zimmerman countersues and wins, he gets an empty paper bag. Economics 201.
