Did we put up "Iron Curtain" style walls last night while I was sleeping? If not, what is keeping these folks here if it's such a terrible place?

This is such BS. If black people aren’t safe, it’s because of other black people. There is no rash of whites or Asians or cops killing blacks. There is, however, an increase in the number of random attacks committed by blacks on other races. It amazes me how lies have been accepted as truth. The world has gone nuts.

may moron who can spout that sort of tripe with a guy who’s allegedly black.....in the Whitehouse.....needs shock treatment at the very least!

these amateur professional whiners and whinerettes need to be handed a BIG UNMISTAKABLE CLUE

[Steely Tom]

What happened to the old civil rights movement?

[bboop]

Such BS I had to not read it. But I did roll my eyes plenty.

[Yosemitest]

Black LIVES DO NOT MATTER, BECAUSE other BLACK keep killing them !

Martin had been unarmed

I should have just stopped there. This is code for "He found another way to assault someone" and "I feeeeeeeeeel that he should have gotten away with (whatever crap) he was doing". No sympathy here. Get a job/keep a job/hold a job. Mind your P's & Q's. Don't make a fool of yourself in public. It's all really rather easy.

This gibberish from a country that allows their girls to be sold into sex slavery so the Muslims will vote for the Labour Party.

......what is keeping these folks here if it's such a terrible place?

Welfare! Free Stuff! Being constant victims!

They ain't about to go any where else!

Hmmm....
Maybe this place ain't so bad after all

The USA is the land of the free, as long as you don’t wander down Martin Luther King Blvd after dark.

Like, “hands up, don’t shoot”?

> Martin had been unarmed, on his way back from a 7/11 convenience store where he had just bought himself an iced tea and a bag of Skittles.

He then attacked Zimmerman, rained down punches “mma style” on Zimmerman, and beat Zimmerman’s head into the concrete sidewalk.

A small detail, easily missed.

When the verdict was announced, she learned of it first through Facebook: not guilty of second degree murder and acquitted of manslaughter.

“Everything went quiet, everything and everyone,” Garza says now.

And no doubt a voice went, "Bwa-ha-ha-ha!"

Speaking of, haven’t heard a peep about the 30 yr old White girl that had her head blown of by a black animal in Hollywood last week.

“Black people are not safe in America”

If you don’t feel safe here I suggest you leave. I hear rural Nigeria is nice this time of year.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hahaha! Indeed. I was in a black barber shop in Biloxi at that moment. Awkward.

[American Constitutionalist]

It will morph from Blacklivesmatter to Blacksaresuperior than whites.

[Jim Robinson]

Brown lives matter, too. Should Zimmerman allowed Martin to continue bashing his head on the ground until his brains fell out?

[2ndDivisionVet]

That happened about .000001 seconds into it.
