I always thought that the short-barreled 9mm was on the light side for self-defense.
Now, maybe not.

I have to wonder, what is the author’s beef with Jordan?
Citing his HOF speech and saying it was ‘evil’, oh jeez, I thought it was one of the funniest I ever heard!

Than again, as a native of Chicago, I do luv my Mikey.

So, lil Tray was harmless and unarmed? Facts don’t matter here it seems. So exhausted of this rewritten story, it’s a bore.

What about it?

It's war, is what it is. The writer of the article thinks there's a war on between blacks and whites, and he wants the blacks to have every advantage possible. He wants blacks fearless and whites helpless.

It's that simple.

The truth hurts. Trayvon Martin, Broken family, no guidance, no focus except being druggie and thug (cool in his world), was bad incident looking to happen...Zimmerman, unbalanced, would be law man, with bad flaws and perceptions. That’s it!!! African-American community better get real, Obama has thrown you all under the bus, your leaders are mostly Black racists, and that includes the NAACP & CBC, combined!!!

What’s needed...destruction of teacher unions, family life with mother & father, reduction of out-of-wedlock babies and Black folk assimilation into the general cultur of American life. time become Americans....folks!!! You know....like the Tuskegee Airmen, etc. I can assure you, Sharpton, Obama, Jackson, etc. ain’t ur ticket!!! They are keeping ya all down for political and power reason only!!! They could care less about you!!! Wise up!!!

Racial and ethnic supremacists don’t live in the real world. It’s a case of “How’s it feel to want?” Black Power is one thing but the idea of the supremacy of blacks over any other race is absolutely ridiculous with their record...

Speaking of records, there’s one superior black that I can name and that was Jimi Hendrix, an American-born musician and songwriter. He was superior to all other black guitarists and songwriters while he was alive. That’s MY idea of “Black Supremacy”!

This article is proof you do NOT wander off the plantation. It is disheartening that rational, reasonable, and critical thought will not come from any exchange with the Black Community as a whole. I do believe it’s getting worse.

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

This is reference to an editorial run in Canada Free Press. The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage.. Taking some poor guy of mixed race including black doing his job and painting a target on his back to fullfill a socialist agenda.

Until there is a willingness shown to confront and attribute Obama’s heavy hand in dividing this country to serve political purposes. Reports like this as well as killings will continue

The author doesn't like Kobe simply because his opinion differs. Kobe is not firmly enough on the author's plantation, I suppose. According to the author, Trayvon worship is a requirement to be held by all blacks, regardless of what the truth is. Such is the black culture's seemingly infinite detriment, which yet again, establishes that like most blacks, the author's clumsy and disingenuous intellectual probing of the truth is an ongoing revelation that any further advancement and improvement for most of them is very unlikely.

It's black folks like the author, that are driving discussion toward the formally unmentionable subject of black inferiority in culture and community. Thanks to the likes of Dr. Watkins, the awful truth about black culture is readily spoken about now, and with increasingly apparent ease and confidence.

Go ahead Dr. Watkins, throw yet another obvious blanket of stupidity over the truth. The more you do, the more transparent they become.

Idiot.

It appears Kobe has backtracked:

He may have gotten a call from the won, Dept. of Just Us or the lizard.

How many women has Jim Brown physically abused compared to Kobe Bryant?

BTW, I’m not a Kobe fan.

Besides a past as a womanizer, Kobe’s actions don’t validate thug life?

“I always thought that the short-barreled 9mm was on the light side for self-defense. Now, maybe not.”

Personally I think anything less than 308 Win is a little light for self defense, but a battle rifle is a little big for CC.

So needs must I guess.

Of course with contact range and the entry point, .22 would have done the job.

Trayvon had no weapon. He wasn’t bothering anybody...

He wasn't 'bothering' anybody 10 minutes before he was shot. When Trayvon was shot he was on top of a man beating his head against the concrete.

By the logic of the stupid, Zimmerman was eating a chicken pot pie - so he was totally innocent. What? You didn't know 30 minutes before this went down that George was innocently eating a chicken pot pie? So he wasn't 'guilty' of anything beyond eating a chicken pot pie.

Who would beat a man for eating a chicken pot pie?

Sometimes I wish our side was as stupid as their side... life would be so much easier.

If you will read Watkins bio on wiki you will find that as a fortyish man he has made it his duty to get up each day over the past couple decades and be a professional criticizer rather like his brothers Sharpton and Jesse.

He clearly is making his living on the broad subject of race. Some call this being a race pimp. In his defense somewhat, he did criticize BET calling them analogous to the KuKluxKlan.

Dr. Watkins, are you a LIAR, an indoctrinated FOOL, or both?

Once again, I ask you to take a look at Michael Jordan’s hurtful, nasty Hall of Fame speech as a great case-in-point.

This is the first I've heard about it. Now I'll have to look it up, then another hero bites the dust.

The case was clear cut: Trayvon had no weapon. He wasn’t bothering anybody. He was stalked out and murdered for appearing to look like a “thug.”

POS author starts off with a great, big steaming pile of bullcrap ...
