Albany 'Justice for Trayvon' attendees call for discussions about race

The Record ^ | July 21, 2013 | Charles Sweeney

The Albany protest, staged outside the Federal Courthouse on Broadway, drew some 200 people, many of whom carried signs and chanted the slogan ‘no justice no peace.’....
.
.
Zimmerman was acquitted of murder and manslaughter by a Florida jury, largely due to the circumstances under which prosecutors were bound by Florida’s controversial ‘stand your ground’ laws, which sanction and expand the use of deadly force in cases of so-called self-defense.

Martin had been walking along a street in Sanford, Florida; in an area patrolled by neighborhood volunteer Zimmerman.

The two became engaged in confrontation, the details of which remain somewhat unclear, but which ended with Zimmerman fatally shooting Martin in the chest.

Fine, they can discuss race. The rest of us have to work for a living.

WOW!!! Two hundred malcontent, America haters!!!

Well, there was no Occupy rally scheduled for this week, so...

[ArrogantBustard]

We've spent the last 40 years (at least) yappin' about "race".

It has accomplished nothing good.

How 'bout we quit flappin' our gums about "race"? Let's disband the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People AND the National Association for the Advancement of White People. How about we disband the United Negro College Fund AND the United Caucasian College Fund? How about we abolish the Congressional Black Caucus AND the Congressional White Caucus? Let's get a little more diversity in the Black Entertainment Television channel AND the White Entertainment Television channel.

Hmmm?

Let's quit the worthless babble about race, let's quit pretending that skin color actually means something. Let's instead get on about the business of making a living, loving our families, caring for our neighbors, and making the world a better place with our own effort ... not with "somebody else's money".

How about it? Jesse? Al? Barry? Eric? You with me?

"WOW!!! Two hundred malcontent, America haters!!! The whole protest sham put forth and incited by Black racists, Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, the NAACP, the CBC was a total bust and failure!!! LOL!!!"

There were to be 100 cities ablaze with righteous indignation that Treyvon had been denied justice.

How many cities were there and how big were the crowds?

I have seen this "crowd" of 200? Another crowd in Houston, reporting a crowd of 400?

I'm glad these calls for "justice" were a bust.

Have any other cities met with expectations of thousands?

Will this humble Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, Holder and other race baiters?

Not likely....either they will double down on lack of "justice" for Trayvon or they will find another example of Whitey, once again, beating the black community down.

Sucks to be you, race baiters. Its the race baiters who hold the so-called "Black Man" down.

Race baiters = racists.

“OMG how funny, they are all white!”

That is ‘unclear’ to me. Maybe it’s the lighting or the camera angles. They are all trayvon.

"There are two black women in the picture, but they certainly are “under-represented”.

They are "white blacks", not blacks per say. More like window dressing for this crowd.

And, while we're about it: where are all the "white hispanics" protesting?

Just sayin'.........

[hummingbird]

"Looks like we’ve found some of the Woodstock hippies who never went home."

*snicker* Hope they've washed by now. Really hope so - don't want them waiting at my bus stop.

[Toespi]

Can’t you see.....They are mutant black vampire zombies.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Here is a great “discussion of race”.

1) Obey the law.
2) If you attempt to carjack, rape, home invade, burglarize or rob, physically assault, threaten or menace, you can get killed, legally, so don’t do this.
3) If members of your race do this, it is and should be no more tolerable or excusable than if members of any other race do this.
4) The police and the courts will put you in prison if you break the law. Your fellow citizens can kill you, legally, if you break the law. So act accordingly.

"Impossible!!!! Liberals claim guns kill people,"

Idiot and agenda-driven "journalists" are killing the once true, sound profession of journalism - the decline of which started a long time ago and continues to this day.

They are now bleeding out news sources that are still left. I guess we have to thank them for that.

Citizen journalism is one of the resorts that is growing; MSM is dying a much needed, albeit to me a much too slow, death.

The entire Black Racist protest charade, led by Chief Black Racist, POTUS Barack Hussein “I adore Morsi & my Muslim Brontherhood Brethren” Obama and his America hating thugs, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, the Mainstream Media, the NAACP, the CBC. etc. went nowhere fast!!!

Blaming Whitey and Hispanic Zimmerman ain’t gonna cut the mustard. The problems with Black Americans are self-inflicted wounds and poor, non-existant good leadership!!! It would take far too long to outline, the shortcomings of the American Black communities...but you can start with abortions, broken families, lack of opportunity, poor education by their own folks & Black politicians, poor work habits, 70% of Black children born out of out wedlock, crime, drugs, failed cities (Detroit) and.....one could on and on.

First step in resovling a problem is to define the problem honestly and correctly. Obama and his Black racist ilk, are no friend or supporter of Black Americans....never was and never will be. He is only interested in destroying America, and he could care less how his actions hurt Black Americans!!! Go figure!!!

The good news is millions of Black Americans stayed home and totally ignored the race hate of Obama and company!!! There may yet be hope for their self inflicted plight, yet!!! When I think of their magnificent contributions in American wars fighting for freedom. liberty and flag and their civil rights...I cry inside as to their fall into the cesspool of their inept and criminal present day leaders. What a shame!!! Time for a change!!! Obama ain’t the man...no way!!!

"Albany 'Justice for Trayvon' attendees call for discussions about race"

Another 'discussion' where only one side gets to talk.

Sorry. Count me out.

[hummingbird]

"Short discussion about race: How about marrying and creating stable families before pumping out kids? How about behaving, and raising your kids to behave, like civilized human beings? How about rejecting the rap thug culture Satan’s minions are immersing you in? How about valuing education and honest effort? How about making “acting white” a goal rather than a disparagement?"

I'm going to make a wide generalization here so I'm probably wrong and out of line, but here goes because I've wondered about this for a while.

Do blacks in Great Britain have "Rachel Jeantels"? Is there a lot of black-on-black crime? What is their level of thuggery and illiteracy. What is the situation of black people living in a socialist country?

What is the source of "Rachel Jeantels"? Why are some blacks so illiterate and violent in America. "Rachel Jeantel" was difficult to understand - even by the court steno - and was hostile to the defense attorney Don West. Was he a "creepy ass cracker", too?

In what countries do blacks excel? Where are the models?

I guess it might seem racist what I've written but my heart is in a true place. Why, in America, is there a group of American citizens living and acting sub-par with little hope or interest in bringing themselves up.

All Americans would benefit if segments, large segments of black and white citizens could prosper and contribute in positive, meaningful ways to American society.

Well, thank you for reading my opus - my first opus of the day - I hope it is the last opus today, too!

"I cry inside as to their fall into the cesspool of their inept and criminal present day leaders. What a shame!!! Time for a change!!! Obama ain’t the man...no way!!!"

I share your sentiment and I'm also with you in tears.....

Good post, JLAGRAYFOX.

[Vaduz]

And stoned check out the Chinese eyes and sun glasses.

[hummingbird]

[hummingbird]

"Gun Control Saves Lies" - face partially hidden - not want to be identified?

One of the bussed in people?

My first thought about the person being bused in was that other signs are hand written but this poster looks professionally done.

I also thought it might be a photoshop. Can anyone photoshop something funny over the "Gun Control Saves Lives". funny!
