From my limited experience, African immigrants have a fair amount of disdain for most African Americans (of the Trayvon variety) for their lack of industriousness.

Tribal sympathy, tribal reasoning. I didn’t see anything about “no limit nigga” postings, fighting, school suspension, drugs, or theft in Martin’s history. No consideration of what he might have been like. Just blame it on YT, or in George’s case, close enough.

Real Africans think African Americans are pathetic.

There are no benefits in Africa.If you’re lucky enough to have a job, you work. But nobody goes on ‘benefit’.

Most Africans think that if you can’t make it in the US, you can’t make it anywhere.

The comments of Zimmerman and the 911 dispatcher are edited for effect .... similar to what NBC did.

Claiming as FACT that Zimmerman saw Trayvon through a lens of racism discredits the entire article. Another waste of my time.

“The case captured global attention because it combines an intriguing narrative of murder, economic disparities, stereotyping, gun culture, injustice, law and race in United State of America (USA).”

I couldn’t get past line two, the bullshit flowing out my monitor completely swept over me.

This is as far as I got:

“African reaction to the Martin case in the media and press has been largely sparse. This is surprising in light of the case’s connection to the continent.”

Trayvon Martin’s fate is no more relevant to any goings on in any of the 50+ nations in Africa than George Zimmerman’s legal troubles would be relevant in any of the many countries making up Latin America.

...........................................................
Probably because most Africans are a lot smarter than the author of this pukefest , and the blacks of America.

Trayvon was a thug in training that got what he asked for.

Thousands of African-Americans are being killed almost daily by other African-Americans and no one seems to care much, but let one White Hispanic with black blood kill in order to save his own life and all of a sudden the racist blacks are having a conniption fit.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
If America had no blacks we would be among the safest non-criminal nations in the world.

Somebody is spending a lot of money to get the colored populations around the world upset and into a race war with the white folks.

Forgive me for being do bold as to suspect that it has something to do with the colored half breed we have living at 1600. You know the one who thinks we should bow and scrape for his every desire.

Why would anyone want an all out shooting war amongst their own people? I wonder if it might have anything to do with DHS buying up a bunch of ammunition.

Perhaps they are planning on doing some gun walking into Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, Chicago, Des Moines, NOLA, and Philly. Maybe they might just arm the gangs who they feel they aren’t being respected properly.

Aim for the suits who cause the mess not the uniforms trying to contain it.

It’s starting to smell like a feedlot, isn’t it? The media needs to clean up their act.

I agree - most Africans I meet here are students or professionals, are focused on learning or getting ahead, and for the most part have little concern or respect for the "African American experience."

It’s easy to piss off a tiger.
It’s also easy to make a plan to ride a pissed off tiger.
It’s a lot harder to make the plan work according to the plan.

I have friends from Nigeria, and they agree that Zimmerman was defending himself and that Trayvon was a punk.

Sounds like the author is pissed off the Africans haven’t paid what s/he feels is proper attention to this racism. So s/he is gonna try and stir up some.

Good luck.
