As long as blacks protect and approve criminal behavior things will get worse.Decent black people will have to demand change in black men’s behavior.But the Democrats under LBJ used the federal government to destroy the traditional self-respecting black family in order to buy votes of blacks dependent on government handouts.So EVERYBODY that pays taxes has a stake inreducing those government programs.

Truer words were never spoken. It has long been my belief that LBJ destroyed the black family when he started increasing the welfare checks for each child born to “single mothers:.

The article still pussy foots around the facts that resulted in the Sanford Police concluding the homicide of Martin was not murder, it was self defence homicide.

There is a considerable difference between homicide and murder. This article pretends to tell the truth, invoking a kind of quietude , meant to mollify white America, when white America should be deeply concerned and even outraged at Zimmerman’s treatment by the State of Florida and its cowardly governor, allowing in effect a political show trial for Zimmerman through circumventing the grand jury process.

Yes the article uses the term murder rather than homicide, displaying their true “color” on the Zimmerman case.Leftist propaganda can be coarse, and disturbing, but it can also be very subtle.

Zimmerman is the victim of a de facto violation of his due process rights as a citizen.He has in effect been subject to a defacto Bill of Attainder by the presidential pronouncement that Martin could have been his son.

It is well past time that America rids itself of the leftist scourge that Barrak Obama has become.In fact the majority of patriotic, constitution loving Americans, whether they are black or not, could care less whether Obama walks out of office or is carried out in a box.

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot about the Trayvon Martin thing. I’ve been “alerted” to so many new murder cases in the Detroit area that the Martin-Zimmerman affair just sort of dropped off of my ‘mur-dar’.

His family says he was “just walking home from the gas station”. Couple things I would like to see. A map. Was the gas station on the opposite side of the housing area from his home?

Why was he at the gas station? Walking, he obviously didn’t need gas. Did he smoke? was he buying something? Does the tape at the station back up this story? was he really ever there?

This thing is such Bovine Scat from the get go I would bet that the most inexperienced “journalist” could poke a hole you could drive a Peterbilt through without breaking a sweat. Of course, the danger to life and limb from libtards would probably cause a “cold sweat”.

And, among those decent black people must be those who are heroes to kids..The basketball and football players..The celebrity actors and musicians. Those with visibility must set the standard. It seems to me that the standard has gotten much lower over the past three years..Wonder why?
I worked with a black friend (single Mom) several years ago and I felt so sorry for her day in and day out as she searched for a way to get herself and her kids out of their crime ridden neighborhood because she was worried for her 13 year old son..SAD!

How lazy does a reporter have to be to use media matters and Trayvon Martin’s sloppy lawyer as the sole source? If that Crump dude said George Zimmerman was from another planet, NBC would print it as fact.

You probably just started another meme. NBC will steal your idea and run with it.

I don’t hold out a lot of hope for this Trayvon ‘thingy’ to end in anything other than a tragedy of montumental proportions, our SBS (Special Broadcasting Service ) which is tilted so far to the left it’s in danger of falling onto it’s left ear...is still presenting us nightly with the sad story of the poor teenager wearing a hoodie who went to buy some skittles and ice tea for his little brother, and was shot on the way home by a cold blooded white man named Zimmerman. They are still using the same original images also, of dear little Trayvon when he was about twelve, and Zimmerman with the colour changed to make his shirt look like he was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.

You couldn’t blame the Australian audience for assuming the worst, when PBS is priming them for it. The marxists are just itching for a race-war regardless of where they make it happen.

Wait! It's a "gas station" now?!? What happened to the "7-Eleven store" that had previously been reported by name?

You really do need to bring yourself up to speed by reading some of the many, many threads on this subject. Just use the keyword GeorgeZimmerman. For starters, Trayvon went to a convenience store and bought Skittles and Iced Tea.

Three of four blacks {that survive abortion} born today are bastards.

When you hear some one say, "That black bastard" there is a 3-1 chance that he is correct.

There is only tatters remaining of the traditional black family so looking to the black family for help is futile.

Margaret Sanger would be proud.

Still waiting for any evidence to corroborate that assertion by the family.

"Reuters reports that in the 14 months before Martin was killed, there were at least eight burglaries reported in Twin Lakes."

It would be interesting to get the states for the two months after Martin was killed...

No help. I found the site you didn't provide a link to. Maybe if I had a few days to wade through it I would find something related to my comment?
