Once saw an article in a British magazine discussing the differences you note. Long story short and trying to be tactful, the article boiled down to this: when the slavers hunted for blacks to send to the new world, the brightest and/or the quickest blacks were *not* those that were caught and put on the slave ships.

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.

IIRC, about the time Operations Fast and Furious and Castaway wormed their way into the news here, there was a brief mention of another operation which was arming gangs in Illinois by way of Indiana.

I have long maintained that the ammo being bought isn't all bought up by either the military, DHS, or Conservatives, and suspect the .40 ammo will be lost in shipment or storage and end up in criminal hands. East bloc ammo, too. (SKS and AK rifles are still cheaper than ARs.)

Obama's private army and all that, using the community organizer's old networks to distribute supplies.

It is a Communist racist radical's wet dream...

" Zimmerman, an armed overzealous White Hispanic volunteer neighborhood watch person.

A year later, a jury consisting of five White women and one Black Hispanic woman voted unanimously that Zimmerman acted in self-defense "

Zimmerman was one half Hispanic, and one eighth Black (his great grandfather was Black). I don't know the racial make up of the "Black Hispanic" juror, but presumably she had some Black ancestry, too. The difference between the two? - Skin color.

Wouldn't it be great if we could live in a country where our children would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin? I wonder what the content of Trayvon Martin's character was, and why wasn't it mentioned in the article?

African immigrants arriving in the US look at the culture and behavior of slave-descended black Americans, and want nothing to do with it or them. They see the amoral self-destruction, the violence, gangs, and drugs, illegitimacy and abortion. And the immigrants reject all of it.

And yet, in demographics these two groups are lumped together by the color of their skin. How unfair to immigrants.

The narrative of the incident is a blatant lie, again.

A dubious source to cite unless it serves one's preconceived notion or buttresses one's slanted view.

Africans should care about the Trayvon Martin case because the fate of African-Americans is the story of descendants of fellow Africans whom they captured and sold to white slavers.

When a society is structured to view a group with suspicion

---------------

No, no, no, no. There is no societal structure to view black men as suspicious. Individual people, whites, Asians, Hispanics, and even blacks, view suspicious black men as potentially dangerous because all criminal statistics, whether those statistics originate in America, Europe, the Caribbean, or Africa show that black men are the most likely to rob or attack others.

The American and European societal structure actually teaches the exact opposite. Schools, entertainment, and news media teach that all races are the same with regard to likelihood to commit crime. Despite these obvious lies, people naturally are more suspicious of those who warrant suspicion. If black people want to change that suspicion then the crime that draws that suspicion must be eradicated. Until then, people will naturally be suspicious.

But, let's be honest, black crime will not recede. If anything, it will worsen.

Yes, indeed! It is all about the Tribe. Tribal justice is entirely based on Us vs. Them. It has nothing to do with any concept of universal right and wrong. If a member of my tribe has been hurt by a member of your tribe then your tribe must be forced to pay, regardless of the circumstances or who was aggressing or how aggressive.

You recall correctly.

At the same time, there were reports of another Fast & Furious-type operation that was arming the Zetas via Honduras -- being run thru the State Department.

For an administration committed to "gun control", they sure spread the guns around.

Africans can’t identify with Martin because they don’t know what a polar bear.

Real Africans think African Americans are pathetic.

Very true. I have talked to them. They also are not happy about illegal immigration to America when they had to do it the hard way.

in most African countries if you use a gun in commission of a crime you get 7 days to appeal and then are executed

Believe me, and the media never tells you this, but legal hispanics feel the same way.
