Let's talk about Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, and how unbelievably fucked up this all is

I would be okay with the NBP getting him - dude is dangerous - but the odds of that are pretty low/lol too

There's gonna be hella civil suit though, so at least maybe he'll be bankrupted.

maybe he'll get so trapped financially he'll commit some other crime that will land him in jail eh

Maybe because of this whole thing plenty of other people will feel threatened by his presence.

I'm fairly certain at this point that we won't see anything like justice in this matter, so I'm trying to content myself with the belief that the wheels of karma sometimes turn slowly.

Zimmerman show on Fox within two years

dude has enough of a fanbase he can probably wing a book deal out of this

or a line of self defense videos

it's hard to believe bob dylan spawned such a horrible son.

"Self-defense tip one: If you feel threatened by a youth in a hoodie, slowly exit your vehicle and follow him, taking great pains to ensure that he doesn't know you're there until you know you've got a clean shot."

George thought he had a problem when Trayvon said “I came to chew skittles and whip honkies. And I’m all outta skittles.” #shitzimmermansays

Zimmerman claims he knew he was in trouble when Trayvon referred to him as “Jive Turkey” #shitzimmermansays

See?

That poll makes no sense and also what the fuck was that woman trying to prove with such a pathetic and offensive "gotcha!"?

that CNN can be as offensive as Fox NEWS?

I think Stevie thought it made no sense that whites could be so willfully obtuse

couldn't watch past the question. her smug face, like she's trying to swallow a triumphant grin. fucking evil.

oh lol part of that must be blocked by my job, all I saw was an article by Jamelle

No that's exactly what I meant; you can't just equate white "minorities" with the black population; that question is fucking ridiculous. People are so stupid.

"what if the most crucial things about this case..... were completely different?? what THEN????"

well i think that woman has a point

"special favors"

yeah that's an incredibly loaded phrase

and now that i think about it it's so loaded that it probably invalidates the poll

More often than not these days, I'm bubbling over with white self-hate.

bubbling over with self hate? as a nonwhite, i grant thee honorary minority status.

Do you agree with the following statement: "White people should be forced to give away all their things to black people". The racial divide is alive and well.

ugh it's just such a toxic mentality -- the idea that programs designed to aid the disadvantaged show some sort of preferential bias, or are somehow being rewarded for being marginalized. like, this woman i know once was loudly and angrily griping that her ex-husband was getting subsidized dental care because he ended up with HIV. "Why don't I get free dental care? I didn't go out and fuck my life up and get AIDS. So he gets AIDS and gets free shit? How is that fair??" well... maybe because oral health is crucial for AIDS patients because they have a compromised immune system?

weird anecdote, off topic, but... that's the sort of fucked-up, self-regarding resentment i mean. WELFARE? AFFIRMATIVE ACTION? BIRTH CONTROL? WHAT ABOUT ME, THE WHITE MAN?

83% of the whites answered the question, as opposed to only 62% of the blacks. Now you tell me which race "tries harder".

look i am sorry i even posted that now

let's move on, or go back to that CNN hosebeast, either would be preferable

flag frog post

i posted a handy link about how zimmerman's one black friend doesn't know anything about zimmerman, can talk abt that maybe

and now that i think about it it's so loaded that it probably invalidates the poll

Yeah, it's almost a push-polly "gee well now that you mention it" kind of statement.

what was the lady on CNN saying? links not working for me.

Plus the way it's broken into two sentences almost implies that the first sentence is FACT, and then, given that fact, do you agree with the second.

Along the lines of "would the congressional black caucus still care about Trayvon's murder if he was a white kid?"

lol wow that is a dumb, dumb question

without party favors

would the murderer face trial if trayvon wasn't a black kid?

why is it so hard to understand that this is the majority of the point? if the victim was white and the shooter was black, he'd be sentenced by now, and no one would care.

did anyone see that sentient shitstain piers morgan interview zimmerman's brother last night?

More often than not these days, I'm bubbling over with white self-hate.

I try to be more constructive in directing my hatred towards pieces of human shit like that awful CNN anchor. But I definitely feel you inasmuch as a lot of our fellow white people are the fucking worst.
