RezaMikhaeil Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 [quote name='Delivery Boy' timestamp='1332679948' post='2407819'] Ya they got in a fight dumbarse and Trayvon was beating his arse after Zimmerman followed him and instigated a fight. Then Zimmerman like the scum coward he is murdered a 17 year old boy [/quote] Is there anything about you that doesn't base your opinion on loose speculation? Probably not... [quote name='Delivery Boy' timestamp='1332681783' post='2407836'] Ya its taking things to far. But that's why Zimmerman needs to be taken into custody and this has got to at least see a trial and a jury. [/quote] So lets set the rule of law aside and just go on the emotions of people who think that he needs to be put in prison? [quote name='Anomaly' timestamp='1332682437' post='2407843']Thank god prayers were answered, the New Black Panthers have announced they are paying $10,000 reward for the capture of Zimmerman. They will be visiting Jacksonville and Maitland locations of Zimmermons employer. "If the government won't do the job, we'll do it." stated NBP leader Mikkad Muhammad in Sanford on Saturday.[/quote] What a great organization right? This wouldn't happen to be the same New Black Panther Party that threatened violence against people at a voting booth is it? Oh of course it is... what a bunch of boy scouts.

Guest Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Kujo no he's not just like me. He pry had it a lot worse. Pry had to deal with racism. Pry has relatives in his family who were slaves and couldn't vote. He was murdered by some lunatic who profiled him cause he's a 6'3 black dude in a hoodie. No he's not just like me. But God created him and loves him just as much as me. He's equal. He deserves justice. Edited March 25, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Kujo I don't remember any one saying it was a teachable moment. I don't know how it could be. No one ever wants to learn. The facts is a 17 year old unarmed kid was shot and murdered. By a man who a 911 operator told not to continue to follow. Yet he did. Then he ended up killing this kid. If the media is just trying to start racial wars then floppy them and they can go to hell. But I'm not also in the camp that there aren't racist cops and racist killers like Zimmerman out there. And I have a big place in my heart for black people because of what they have been through in the not to distant past. And what I see here is a 17 year old unarmed kid who is murdered and his parents are devestated and the killer is free to go. That's not right.

[/quote] Oooo....you can use big smart people words! Can you teach me how to talk smart like you!??!?!?! (If you don't have something valuable to add to the conversation, go away. I was making a point about media hypocrisy and how certain elements of culture get emphasized or hidden whenever a situation arises that appeals to, or against, the preconceived notions of the elite. Yes, race and culture are social constructs. So are words and language...but that's not what we're talking about here. You don't get to pull the "true nature of things" card whenever this is clearly being manipulated by guys like Al Sharpton to be a white v.s. black thing, despite the fact that Zimmerman was of mixed race) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrestia Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 [quote name='kujo' timestamp='1332682307' post='2407841'] When did I say that? And more importantly, when did my brother say that? There's nothing wrong with pointing out flaws in the system. But allowing yourself and your identity to become fixated on the disrespect others give you is not living the sort of freedom that the civil rights leaders fought so valiantly for. [/quote] These are your words: [quote name='kujo' timestamp='1332650671' post='2407727'] It smells of elderberries, but there really isn't anything that anyone can do to change that. [/quote] I expected better from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
