I'm fucking heated right now.
And I know this is the wrong place to post this shit but I just want to figure out why all you idiots support zimmerman when he committed murder.
See all you motherfuckers are inbread, stupid and stuck in the 1700's thinking you own us, but you don't. I don't care if Zimmerman was hispanic, this WHITE skin has killed my brother and then you realize why we fucking hate you, why we rape your wife, why we rob your houses, why we call you crackas.
Because what we have to suffer everyday is more than what you've ever had to suffer in a year or in your life. The jury system is corrupt as fuck and it's always being led by the white man. Trayvon deserved justice and you stupid inbreds only want to be edgy and hate black people.
Don't blame all black people for your past memories, I don't give a fuck what some guy did to you, it was probably well fucking deserve because your ignorant ass is racist.
I'm done, l'm Ieaving out of this stupid site. You could write whatever the fuck you want, you are all racist and stupid as fuck if you don't think Zimmerman is guiIty of murder.

You are stupid -
1) I'm so confused. Everyone who commits an offense on a black person is now white?
2) No one has the right to punch you or assault you.
3) Florida has numerous laws this could have been tried under - clearly zimmerman was in the right.
4) Citizens do have much of the same authority as cops.
5) Your life is not "suffering" because of the color of your skin. That's a mental barrier in your primitive brain. This world is what you make it and your ability to succeed is directly based on what you perceive as your reality. You are a product of your environment, conditioned by your mother, father, friends, family, neighborhood, friends, and school system. You can do anything in this world - the color of your skin is meaningless.
6) You are clearly racist. Racism will not die until all sides stop thinking in terms of color - reverse racism is very real, you racist bigot.
I don't care if Trayvon was white - the same end is acceptable.

No comment on the not guilty thing (I wasn't a juror and don't have all the evidence), but if you think a husky 29 year-old adult male who got beat up by a scrawny 17 year-old kid and in turn shot said kid is a hero, well your opinion on what makes a hero is very different then mine.

Both doods were idiots and excercised poor judgement. But that is why the law is there to arbitrate these things. Zimmerman damaged the use of deadly force by citizens in all our eyes by his poor judgement. But in any number of instances this could have turned out completely the other way.
We are supposed to be able to feel safe confronting people in our own homes and neighboorhoods, and other public spaces. Certain that if we must use deadly force we will not be strawmanned and made examples of by those in power.
Should he have de-escalated the situation? Should the kid have gone home? Yes in both cases. But that didnt happen. Was Zimmerman within his rights to use deadly force in this case. So sayeth the courts. And we must respect that or else loose the freedom we have to protect ourselves.
The problem is in the corruption of our ideoligy and the authoritarian nature of our school system. Things like this use to happen all the time and they were not a media circus. Sometimes they were morally justified other times not. Parents rely on the threat of taking a kid to the police station now for authority. Our society is wholly damaged by a fear of force.
But people have an absolute lack of respect for boundaries, each other, politeness and civility due to the bullshit everyone in these threads are pulling trying to make a martyr out of one or the other. People need to know there are real consequences for violating anothers personal space or threatening them. Even if its just to stare them down in a corner. I would not have turned my back on Trayvon, but I probably wouldn't have resorted to a gun either. Than again I feel confident that I could subdue someone like that should I choose to confront them, or stun them and escape till the police arrived to detain them properly.
Ya'll seriously disappoint.
Disrespect the law and you loose your civilization.

Well a better man might have chosen to avoid confronting a 6 foot tall individual whom they were unsure of their mental situation. It would have been a kinder thing to do than try to be a neighborhood hero. That is just a personal opinion.
At the very least he could have knocked on someones door and gotten a few people to detain him. But since we only have loosely contextual snippets from internet forum trolls. No one can say.
Therefore the law is just. It is why this guy was tried before his peers.

Actually, I have a very good understanding of law. I am also studied in history to include racism and slavery from Eastern Asia, South America, and North America. I am very familiar with economics, as I'm working towards my MBA.
You, sir, are obviously an idiot. First, it's meritocratic. Second, Zimmerman shooting another human has nothing to do with economics or politics. Third, I would encourage you get familiar with your state's gun laws and when the use of deadly force is justified - remember kiddo, its LAW. Someone crosses the line, you shoot them - the end.
As far as my "new age meritocratic perspective". Well, I'll keep living life my way - I'm doing very well for myself. Perhaps you should reflect back on some history to see the people who rose above and conquered.

Current Alerts
Genocide Emergency
•Syria - Since the first uprisings began in the Syrian Arab Republic in early March 2011, President Bashar al-Assad’s government has violently repressed civilian protests and launched attacks on both rebel forces and Sunni Arab civilians. Data collected by the UN Human Rights office estimates the death toll to be greater than 60,000 people. According to the UN Refugee Agency, over 700,000 registered Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries, mainly Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, with thousands more leaving daily. President Assad continues to label the armed rebel forces as “terrorists” and has rejected the offer of peace talks made by Sheik Ahmad Moaz al-Khatib, the main opposition leader. Nations should call for a cease-fire, convince Assad to step down, and bring in more humanitarian assistance. If Assad will not stop bombing his own nation into rubble, NATO forces led by Turkey should destroy his air force.
•Sudan - Since the Bush Administration first recognized the genocide in Darfur, at least 250,000 more men, women, and children have died. Using its own military and the Janjaweed militia, Sudan's regime has conducted a systematic campaign to kill and drive out Darfur's ethnic Fur, Massalit, and Zhagawa peoples. Supported by aircraft and helicopter gunships, the Janjaweed attack towns, villages, and refugee camps, kill the men and boys, rape the women and girls, and poison the wells. Their goal is to replace these African peoples with Arab herders.
•Democratic Republic of the Congo - The DRC is plagued by enduring conflict in its eastern provinces. Formally the second Congolese war came to an end in 2002. However, in practice the conflict drags on and is the most deadliest since the second World War. Estimates of the dead range from three to five million persons. The victims are civilians, in particular women and girls, and ethnic groups such as the Banyamulenge, the Hutu Banyarwanda, the Hema and the Lendu. Many of the killers and rapists are former genocidists who escaped into the DRC from the Rwandan genocide.
•Ethiopia - In September 2008, Genocide Watch declared a Genocide Warning regarding the war that was being waged against small ethnic minority called Burji in a town of Hagre Mariam by an ethnic Oromo group called Guji. Since then the Guji Oromo have continued to wage protracted war against Burji in various localities, especially in towns and villages surrounding the city of Soyama, which is 60 Km west of the city of Hagremariam. Over the course of the last several months there have been heavy loss of lives and damage to Guji properties including destruction of crops and farm equipment. In January 2009, there were reports of heavy fighting on three different fronts, namely Nadale/ Chuluse front and Gara and Tisho vicinities. News from Hagremariam stated that Guji Oromo warriers were advancing towards Soyama in great numbers. According to Genocide Watch sources, Guji/Oromo attacks on Buji began on January 22, 2009. The situation is continues to be dire, and urgent action must be taken to avert further attacks.
•Burma/Myanmar - Burma, Southeast Asia's most oppressed nation, remains under the forty-three year tyranny of a military junta and should be a grave concern to the international community. Abuse of ethnic minorities, mass rape of women, mandatory relocations, extrajudicial state executions, military recruitment of children, and forced labor are only a few of the many violations of human rights currently practiced in the resource rich but economically impoverished nation.1 The regime change of 2004 which deposed General Khin Nyunt in favor of Lieutenant General Soe Win continues to suppress the strong movement for democracy, keeping Burma in a cyclical state of tyranny.
Genocide Warning
•Nigeria - The insurgency of the radical Islamist movement Boko Haram in the north of Nigeria poses a great threat of genocidal massacres. Since the summer of 2011 Boko Haram has struck different targets in Nigeria ranging from government buildings, especially the security sector, to churches. The latter category of attacks is alarming as they might radicalize relations between the Muslim north and the Christian south of the country.
•Chad - Chad is largely influenced by the situation in neighboring country Sudan. The Sudanese government has supported rebels who have made three attempts to overthrow the Chadian government by force. These situations made Genocide Watch declare Genocide Warnings for Chad in 2005, renewed in April 2006 and January 2008. Today Chad remains at Stage 6, the Preparation stage preceding genocide. Since 2010, ties between the Sudanese president al-Bashir and the Chadian president have improved, but this has not ended the hopeless situation of hundreds of thousands refugees in Chad. In February 2011, a report of the International Crisis group raised an Alert about Chad’s Northwest, as the next high-risk area where violence and famine could endanger human lives.
•Equatorial Guinea - There is deep ethnic division in Equatorial Guinea, and also clan division within ethnicities. The majority of the population belong to the Fang group. Within this group there are clans. President Obiang Nguema favors his own clan, the Esangui. The Bubi people represent the minority ethnicity and are indigenous to Bioko Island. They are subject to systematic discrimination and persecution by the government, and were the main victims of the genocide carried out by president Macías Nguema from 1978 - 1979. Genocide Watch considers Equatorial Guinea to be at early warning stage 6: Preparation for potential massacres.
•Yemen - Genocide Watch has downgraded the risk of genocide and politicide in Yemen from stage 7 (active massacres) to stage 6: potential massacres. Genocide Watch welcomes the recent transfer of power in Yemen and the large participation in elections by Yemeni citizens. However, the following risk factors are evidence that the security situation in Yemen is still of great concern. The roots of national identity and democracy are shallow. Yemen could again degenerate quickly into violence.
•Kenya - Genocide Watch has called a Genocide Alert because of genocidal massacres that are increasing daily in Kenya in the wake of a disputed election between President Mwai Kibaki, who is a member of the Kikuyu ethnic group, and Mr. Raila Odinga, who is ethnically a Luo. Ethnic riots have broken out in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, and numerous other places in Kenya. People have been pulled from their cars and their identification cards checked for their names, which symbolize their ethnic identity, and then killed if they belong to groups being targeted. Hundreds of people have already been murdered. Today a church in Eldoret was locked and the people inside were burned to death by a mob. Ethnic massacres are an indicator that the risk of genocide in Kenya has risen to Stage 6, the Preparation stage. Kenya has not yet descended into actual genocide. However, the next stage in the process is actual genocide, and Kenya is close to that stage.
•Central African Republic - Since its independence from France in 1960, the political situation in CAR has always been unstable. Last years, the CAR has also become a refuge for the Lord’s Resistance Army, led since 1987 by the mass murderer, Joseph Kony of Uganda. Kony is notorious for abducting child soldiers and girl sex slaves and was indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2005, but still not arrested. Another pressing security threat in the CAR is the Front Populaire Pour le Redressement (FPR), a Chadian armed rebel group backed by Sudan that has carried out sporadic attacks in northern CAR since 2008. Because crimes against humanity by the LRA and FPR have led to widespread terror and forced displacement, Genocide Watch considers CAR at stage 6: potential massacres.
Genocide Watch
•Uzbekistan - The Uzbek government violates human rights on a large scale: torture, absence of due process, lack of freedom of expression and association. Freedom House identifies Uzbekistan as one of the nine least free countries in the world. Islamists and political opponents, including Tajiks, are the main victims of this repressive regime. The repression in Uzbekistan was most brutally expressed by the Andijan Massacre on May 13, 2005.
•Burundi - The people of Burundi have been confronted with war, genocide, economic decline and tyranny for over five decades. At least two major genocides have occurred since independence in 1962. In 1972, the Tutsi army murdered a whole generation of young, educated, and prosperous Hutus, a genocide that cost at least 150,000 lives. 1993-1995 brought a deluge of mass murders of both Hutus and Tutsis, culminating in a civil war that cost 300,000 lives. No one was ever prosecuted for the murders of the past fifty years. Tensions have increased due to this ongoing impunity since the country’s 2010 general elections, causing reciprocal killings by members of the ruling party CNDD-FDD and the former rebel group the FNL. The largest recent massacre took place September 19, 2011 when nearly 40 people were killed in a bar in Gatumba, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
•Iran - Iran is at level 5 of Genocide Watch's 8 stages of genocide: Polarization. At the internal level, the widespread discrimination against religious and ethnic minorities, in particular the Baha'i, is alarming. The government is authoritarian, and is controlled by a religious elite with an exclusionary ideology. At the external level, the nuclear program of Iran threatens international peace and security, especially in combination with Iran's anti-Semitic campaign against Israel.
•Côte d'Ivoire - Although the civil war of 2002 came to an end in 2004, Côte d'Ivoire has ever since been divided between north and south. The split is along religious and ethnic lines. The presidential elections in October and November 2010 were the trigger leading to an eruption of violence. The crimes that took place in Côte d'Ivoire in the aftermath of the elections may be qualified as genocidal massacres, though they were not a full genocide.
•Mali - Since January 17, 2012 the NMLA has conquered some of the tiny villages in northern Mali.During the Tuareg conquests, they committed brutal ethnic massacres and summary executions. One of the first villages they occupied, Aguelhok, was recaptured by the Malian army. On January 24, 2012, the NMLA recaptured Aguelhok and executed 82 prisoners from the Malian army. Two tactics were used: shooting a single bullet through the head or slitting the throat. The hands of the victims were tied. These summary executions were war crimes under both the Geneva Conventions and the Statute of the International Criminal Court, to which Mali is a State-Party.
•South Africa - Given the history of Apartheid in South Africa, there is deep-rooted polarization between whites and black in the nation. Part of the polarization in South Africa is the legacy of Apartheid and the continuing dominance in the economy of white owned businesses and farms. There is also polarization from the black population, who feel excluded from real power and jobs, even though the ANC now controls the government. This general polarization created a fertile ground for political radicalization, which was the case with the rise of Malema, former President of the ANC Youth League who is now suspended. Genocide Watch continues to be alarmed at hate crimes committed against whites, particularly against Boer farmers, an important early warning sign that genocide could occur. Those who commit such crimes must be promptly brought to justice, and denounced by the political leaders of South Africa.
• Rwanda - The Rwandan genocide in 1994 killed 800 000 Rwandans in 100 days - Africa’s fastest, intentionally planned genocide. It was a glaring example of the failure of international institutions like the UN and of leading nation-states like the US, Belgium, France, and the UK to prevent or stop genocide. It was a shocking reminder that genocide has happened again and again since 1945. Genocide Watch considers Rwanda still to be ethnically Polarized (Stage 5), but the Rwandan government and civil society are making concerted efforts in schools and churches to overcome this polarization. Rwanda has one of the most systematic genocide education programs in the world.
•Angola - After its independence from Portugal in 1975, Angola went through a 27-year civil war which was primarily a struggle between two former liberation movements: MPLA and UNITA. Besides the struggle between these movements, a separatist struggle by the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) also played a role in the civil war. Cabinda is an Angolan province but it is separated from the country’s main territory by a sliver of the Democratic Republic of Congo. While the Angolan war ended in 2002, the status of Cabinda is still disputed by FLEC. A 2006 peace agreement between the government of Angola and a faction of the FLEC sought to end the conflict, but sporadic attacks by both sides have continued. Because of this deep-rooted conflict about Cabinda, Genocide Watch considers Angola at stage 5 of Genocide: polarization.
•Sri Lanka - Approximately 100,000 people died during the Sri Lankan civil war (1983-2009). Both the Sri Lankan armed forces and the Tamil Tigers committed atrocities. During the final phase of the conflict leading to the defeat of the Tamil Tigers (January – May 2009) at least 7,934 persons died, of which 550 were children younger than 10. Real figures probably amount to tens of thousands victims –most sources speak of approximately 40,000 casualties. No one has been hold accountable. Instead, the Sri Lankan government has relied upon one of the typical forms of denial: substituting reconciliation efforts that do not address the crimes committed. As long as there is no accountability for the massacres that occurred during the Sri Lankan civil war, there can be no sustainable peace among the ethnic communities.
•India - In India, all the global religions are represented: Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism. Besides religious diversity, there are also indigenous regional tribes recognized under the Constitution. India is thus an extremely diverse country, but because of its pervasive caste system, the nation struggles with polarization based upon religious, regional, caste and economic background.

Current Alerts
Genocide Emergency
•Syria - Since the first uprisings began in the Syrian Arab Republic in early March 2011, President Bashar al-Assad’s government has violently repressed civilian protests and launched attacks on both rebel forces and Sunni Arab civilians. Data collected by the UN Human Rights office estimates the death toll to be greater than 60,000 people. According to the UN Refugee Agency, over 700,000 registered Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries, mainly Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, with thousands more leaving daily. President Assad continues to label the armed rebel forces as “terrorists” and has rejected the offer of peace talks made by Sheik Ahmad Moaz al-Khatib, the main opposition leader. Nations should call for a cease-fire, convince Assad to step down, and bring in more humanitarian assistance. If Assad will not stop bombing his own nation into rubble, NATO forces led by Turkey should destroy his air force.
•Sudan - Since the Bush Administration first recognized the genocide in Darfur, at least 250,000 more men, women, and children have died. Using its own military and the Janjaweed militia, Sudan's regime has conducted a systematic campaign to kill and drive out Darfur's ethnic Fur, Massalit, and Zhagawa peoples. Supported by aircraft and helicopter gunships, the Janjaweed attack towns, villages, and refugee camps, kill the men and boys, rape the women and girls, and poison the wells. Their goal is to replace these African peoples with Arab herders.
•Democratic Republic of the Congo - The DRC is plagued by enduring conflict in its eastern provinces. Formally the second Congolese war came to an end in 2002. However, in practice the conflict drags on and is the most deadliest since the second World War. Estimates of the dead range from three to five million persons. The victims are civilians, in particular women and girls, and ethnic groups such as the Banyamulenge, the Hutu Banyarwanda, the Hema and the Lendu. Many of the killers and rapists are former genocidists who escaped into the DRC from the Rwandan genocide.
•Ethiopia - In September 2008, Genocide Watch declared a Genocide Warning regarding the war that was being waged against small ethnic minority called Burji in a town of Hagre Mariam by an ethnic Oromo group called Guji. Since then the Guji Oromo have continued to wage protracted war against Burji in various localities, especially in towns and villages surrounding the city of Soyama, which is 60 Km west of the city of Hagremariam. Over the course of the last several months there have been heavy loss of lives and damage to Guji properties including destruction of crops and farm equipment. In January 2009, there were reports of heavy fighting on three different fronts, namely Nadale/ Chuluse front and Gara and Tisho vicinities. News from Hagremariam stated that Guji Oromo warriers were advancing towards Soyama in great numbers. According to Genocide Watch sources, Guji/Oromo attacks on Buji began on January 22, 2009. The situation is continues to be dire, and urgent action must be taken to avert further attacks.
•Burma/Myanmar - Burma, Southeast Asia's most oppressed nation, remains under the forty-three year tyranny of a military junta and should be a grave concern to the international community. Abuse of ethnic minorities, mass rape of women, mandatory relocations, extrajudicial state executions, military recruitment of children, and forced labor are only a few of the many violations of human rights currently practiced in the resource rich but economically impoverished nation.1 The regime change of 2004 which deposed General Khin Nyunt in favor of Lieutenant General Soe Win continues to suppress the strong movement for democracy, keeping Burma in a cyclical state of tyranny.
Genocide Warning
•Nigeria - The insurgency of the radical Islamist movement Boko Haram in the north of Nigeria poses a great threat of genocidal massacres. Since the summer of 2011 Boko Haram has struck different targets in Nigeria ranging from government buildings, especially the security sector, to churches. The latter category of attacks is alarming as they might radicalize relations between the Muslim north and the Christian south of the country.
•Chad - Chad is largely influenced by the situation in neighboring country Sudan. The Sudanese government has supported rebels who have made three attempts to overthrow the Chadian government by force. These situations made Genocide Watch declare Genocide Warnings for Chad in 2005, renewed in April 2006 and January 2008. Today Chad remains at Stage 6, the Preparation stage preceding genocide. Since 2010, ties between the Sudanese president al-Bashir and the Chadian president have improved, but this has not ended the hopeless situation of hundreds of thousands refugees in Chad. In February 2011, a report of the International Crisis group raised an Alert about Chad’s Northwest, as the next high-risk area where violence and famine could endanger human lives.
•Equatorial Guinea - There is deep ethnic division in Equatorial Guinea, and also clan division within ethnicities. The majority of the population belong to the Fang group. Within this group there are clans. President Obiang Nguema favors his own clan, the Esangui. The Bubi people represent the minority ethnicity and are indigenous to Bioko Island. They are subject to systematic discrimination and persecution by the government, and were the main victims of the genocide carried out by president Macías Nguema from 1978 - 1979. Genocide Watch considers Equatorial Guinea to be at early warning stage 6: Preparation for potential massacres.
•Yemen - Genocide Watch has downgraded the risk of genocide and politicide in Yemen from stage 7 (active massacres) to stage 6: potential massacres. Genocide Watch welcomes the recent transfer of power in Yemen and the large participation in elections by Yemeni citizens. However, the following risk factors are evidence that the security situation in Yemen is still of great concern. The roots of national identity and democracy are shallow. Yemen could again degenerate quickly into violence.
•Kenya - Genocide Watch has called a Genocide Alert because of genocidal massacres that are increasing daily in Kenya in the wake of a disputed election between President Mwai Kibaki, who is a member of the Kikuyu ethnic group, and Mr. Raila Odinga, who is ethnically a Luo. Ethnic riots have broken out in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, and numerous other places in Kenya. People have been pulled from their cars and their identification cards checked for their names, which symbolize their ethnic identity, and then killed if they belong to groups being targeted. Hundreds of people have already been murdered. Today a church in Eldoret was locked and the people inside were burned to death by a mob. Ethnic massacres are an indicator that the risk of genocide in Kenya has risen to Stage 6, the Preparation stage. Kenya has not yet descended into actual genocide. However, the next stage in the process is actual genocide, and Kenya is close to that stage.
•Central African Republic - Since its independence from France in 1960, the political situation in CAR has always been unstable. Last years, the CAR has also become a refuge for the Lord’s Resistance Army, led since 1987 by the mass murderer, Joseph Kony of Uganda. Kony is notorious for abducting child soldiers and girl sex slaves and was indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2005, but still not arrested. Another pressing security threat in the CAR is the Front Populaire Pour le Redressement (FPR), a Chadian armed rebel group backed by Sudan that has carried out sporadic attacks in northern CAR since 2008. Because crimes against humanity by the LRA and FPR have led to widespread terror and forced displacement, Genocide Watch considers CAR at stage 6: potential massacres.
Genocide Watch
•Uzbekistan - The Uzbek government violates human rights on a large scale: torture, absence of due process, lack of freedom of expression and association. Freedom House identifies Uzbekistan as one of the nine least free countries in the world. Islamists and political opponents, including Tajiks, are the main victims of this repressive regime. The repression in Uzbekistan was most brutally expressed by the Andijan Massacre on May 13, 2005.
•Burundi - The people of Burundi have been confronted with war, genocide, economic decline and tyranny for over five decades. At least two major genocides have occurred since independence in 1962. In 1972, the Tutsi army murdered a whole generation of young, educated, and prosperous Hutus, a genocide that cost at least 150,000 lives. 1993-1995 brought a deluge of mass murders of both Hutus and Tutsis, culminating in a civil war that cost 300,000 lives. No one was ever prosecuted for the murders of the past fifty years. Tensions have increased due to this ongoing impunity since the country’s 2010 general elections, causing reciprocal killings by members of the ruling party CNDD-FDD and the former rebel group the FNL. The largest recent massacre took place September 19, 2011 when nearly 40 people were killed in a bar in Gatumba, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
•Iran - Iran is at level 5 of Genocide Watch's 8 stages of genocide: Polarization. At the internal level, the widespread discrimination against religious and ethnic minorities, in particular the Baha'i, is alarming. The government is authoritarian, and is controlled by a religious elite with an exclusionary ideology. At the external level, the nuclear program of Iran threatens international peace and security, especially in combination with Iran's anti-Semitic campaign against Israel.
•Côte d'Ivoire - Although the civil war of 2002 came to an end in 2004, Côte d'Ivoire has ever since been divided between north and south. The split is along religious and ethnic lines.

Who the fuck is rioting? The norm for the black community when horrible violations of basic human rights are hurled at them is to not riot. Just because you have some second-hand reference to "scary black people" being heard doesn't make it something to expect. Your entire stream-of-consciousness grammar genocide just feeds into the narrative that black people are meant to be feared, and that they ultimately get what they deserve.
Not sure why you highlighted the word "adult" there. By the eyes of the law, he was not an adult. Couldn't vote, couldn't serve-- why is he suddenly an adult in your mind?
Keep living in your own little bubble, friend. But you must ask yourself: if you wouldn't say any of this in front of a group of black people, then you're probably not saying something decent.
Nirgon
07-15-2013, 03:42 PM
Okay the not scary black people pulled that guy out of the truck and hit him in the head with a rock during the LA riots.
Just saying, if the media wouldn't blast this with the "you should be outraged and very angry" tone, there wouldn't be these problems.
Telling people "you are oppressed and the world is out to get you" and making large parts of their culture about anger and fear is just... yeah did I mention there is need for a cultural overhaul?
The real racists try to turn everything into a race issue.

There's just pockets of permanent poverty spread out all over because this state:
A. developed extremely quickly
B. was part of the deep south
C. both white and black people have tommytowns here so its not a particularly racial issue
D. there is/was a lot of exploitation of illegal immigrants, but the situation is improving a lot compared to 15 years ago
The above apply to only very specific places. There are some really nice places to live in this state. Though unemployment is unbearable unless you are on welfare here or fill a specific niche in customer service or medicine IMO. Or live in a major metropolitan area. Jacksonville, Tallahasee, Orlando, Tampa, Miami
A lot of the people in north/centeral Florida seem to have some perception of Miami being a hispanic/cuban mafia city. But I haven't gone myself to see whats up. I'm sure a white person could do just fine there if they could learn to STFU and fall in line with the rest of the proles.
Perhaps part of it is the bible belter mentality, but other places a long the bible belt aren't as backwards as some of the places here. In some ways its good because it makes the state more heterogeneous. In other ways its bad, because coming out of poverty is hard for even the smartest and most motivated.
If Florida had stayed a seperate country from mainland U.S. for well maybe 150+ more extra years it would have perhaps done better despite all the whiny human rights abuses people rage on about in 3rd world places. Because its economy would have had time to equalize with the rest of the world. The biggest industry here was agriculture and still is, with tourism and hospitals coming in 2cnd. The most lucrative agriculture is horse breeding which is not a market that is easy to break into without millions$$
South America is now out competing our agricultural ability. Big oil is an issue and was run by overseas companies that didn't put anything back into Florida anyway except for a measly 0.001% populations wage.
There was a brief influx in the tech industry in the 90's but the .com bubble burst really hampered and stagnated its development. My bro still works in the industry and most of his employers don't live/work in the state. All the big datacenter projects and shit are going out west to Utah's new area 52 *cough*

I wish people would stop using the word racism incorrectly. There's nothing wrong with profiling people, we do it every day based upon tons of factors such as clothing, mannerism, the car you drive, the way you talk or walk, what you eat etc., and yes your ethnicity. I'm sorry but if I'm at an ATM at night and a twenty year old orthodox jewish kid from Baltimore is behind me in his black suit pants and white dress shirt I'm not feelin too concerned. If its a black kid with a hoodie over his head and Baggie jeans I take note and am naturally more defensive / perceptive. Anyone who denies they do this is full of shit and I want you to go walk through Harlem at night with your girlfriend or through Compton or seven mile.
Racism on the other hand is believing that the color of your skin makes you inherently "dumb" or superior or what not which I vehemently disagree with. My perception about people based upon their color is one that is based upon culture, which I readily admit has been shaped by skin color due to the history of racism and inequality in this country, poverty, unequal opportunities etc.
Would you hire someone as your attorney that was wearing shorts and a tshirt in his office? Would you go in without a rubber on a girl with a clit ring? Do you leave your car unlocked downtown? Gtfo

Last night on the news I saw footage of groups of people surrounding cars and attacking the drivers though their windows. This was happening in Los Angeles.

I'm curious if anyone here is an actual parent. And your honest answer to what would you tell your teenager to do in a situation when a strange, creepy man who is 100-pounds larger than you is running around chasing you in your own neighborhood at night for no reason?
"Just stand there, honey. It's okay."

I'd say run home.
Not... Run home, hide in a bush, run back and attack your potential attacker - who happens to have a gun...

Im a parent and sympathetic to the loss his family had. Doesnt change the fact he was circling cars as if he wanted to rob them and neighborhood spotted him and called 911. Had he went inside after his wannabe thug ass got busted instead of going back looking for a confrontation while on the phone to look cool he would be in jail instead of dead.

This is the only appropriate response. If you already lost the person "chasing" you, why would you turn around to confront them?

I'd tell them to call 911 and seek help, looks like tons of homes around him and he had a cell phone. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone is claiming zimmerman walked up to him gun out and killed him on spot like that.

Not sure what ur trying to say stinkum. Ur agreeing that trayvon shouldnt have ran back from his house to confront zimmerman but ur sounding like ur blaming zimmerman.
And yes my daughter will know how to use a weapon beleeeee dat.

First off,

You know what will and will not turn into a flame war, we will move the thread and start handing out bans for those that continue to post those threads in this forum.
Next up, American heroes. Mine are 9-11 emergency services workers, Wesley Autrey, and Charles Ramsey, among others.
Zimmerman was trying to protect his neighborhood, and ended up killing one of its residents. The jury returned a not guilty by reason of self defense verdict, and were probably justified in doing so. This hardly makes him a hero.

Another personal hero, this one not an American - Alan Turing. His work on Colossus breaking German codes in WW2 saved the lives of thousands of allied soldiers. He was later jailed for being a homosexual.
Please think of that the next time you feel the urge to use that ugly word.

These days my heroes are the people who will sit down and listen to facts without being biased. This Zimmerman trial showed that more people will run with biases over facts.
THE ONLY THING IN COURT THAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU CAN PROVE.

I like your standard.
As far as I can tell, due process worked how it was meant to in Zimmerman's case, even if the outcome leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The Martins will likely pursue a wrongful death civil suite next, much like what ended up happening to OJ Simpson.
