The catch is this man had to STAND TRIAL and substantiate his claim of self defense in a court of law. George Zimmerman has not even been charged.edit on 22/3/2012 by kosmicjack because: (no reason given)

"They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open," Coon told KMBC. "(One of them) poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, 'This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.'"
march 4 2012.
these kids were arrested and had charges pressed against them, but is this recent enough for you?
all crimes are hate crimes. taking the life of any human being is never acceptable. sadly racism is a live and well in all races. Why do we continue to stereotype whole groups when a individual does something wrong? The Treyvon story is a sad one, and IMHO was premeditated murder, why else would you have a gun and stalk someone for no reason. The police department definitely has some explaining to do as to why there wasn't a proper investigation or drug/ alcohol test. We the people are unfortunatly the ones that have to keep a watchful eye on our police officers to make sure they are performing their jobs correctly and holding them accountable when they let ish slip thru the cracks. If you have not signed the online petition to bring justice for this young man you should do so now, almost a million signatures when i signed this morning. Lets make this right, at least to the extent we can, there is no bringing that young man back to his family.edit on 22-3-2012 by DIRTYDONKEY because: added moreedit on 22-3-2012 by DIRTYDONKEY because: (no reason given)

Its not just the media it is society as a whole. How many history classes in school teach about the Black that owned slaves in Louisiana, or the native Americans that owned slaves? Is any teacher going to teach that the black entertainment channel is just modern day segregation?

When people start realizing that there's one race, the human race, and they stop labelling us jews, blacks, whites, reds, stripes and polka dots, we might actually find ourselves in a better place. Until then, we're stuck dealing with hate mongers and ignorant fools who want nothing more than to rile up the world against whatever it is they hate.

No. Flat out no. You are not hearing about this case because a "white" guy killed a black kid. You are hearing about it because NO JUSTICE is being served on his behalf. In the United States of America when a person is killed or murdered there is an expectation that there will be a thorough investigation to make sure there is no wrong doing and if there is to make sure that whoever committed the crime stands trial. That was not done in this case and it is disgusting and outrageous that the justice system failed so miserably!
YOU are making this about race, exploiting this boys murder in an attempt to prove some ridiculously conceived liberal bias against whites. YOU are playing victim, meanwhile it isn't you buried in the ground! I'm so sick of hearing the far right whining about left this left that, whites can't be discriminated against blah blah blah. BS! The whole damn country knows that racism isn't practiced by whites only, everyone except you people.

he's using it as his defense but he's on trial for murder. zimmerman isn't being charged for killing a 17 year old boy.
the injustice is that one man killed another and they won't even arrest him. if they want to arrest him and then let him walk based on a defense of "black kids are scary" so be it. then you can, at the very least, pretend that your system is unbiased and fair.
your attempt to compare these two cases is like comparing apples and donkeys.
maybe Im in the twilight zone.
You never heard me say Zimmerman should not be charged. EVER
And the link between the 2 is obvious, murder and racism
The old man killed an unarmed man he was having a verbal argument with in front of multiple witnesses. If anyone felt threatened , it was the young father when the old man pulled out a gun on him for no reason causing the father to lunge at him and grab his arms so he could not go ballistic shooting children in the park.
Now if you want to ignore and pretend the media isn't biased against white people then so be it.
If you want to ignore the obvious lies about Zimmerman, a HISPANIC/JEWISH man being white (commonly associated with Non jewish euros) then go right ahead.
But I see the agenda against white people even if you don't or don't care to.
But thats not the topic is it?

Read that a moment and let it sink in. Now, this is coming from the mother of the young man that was murdered. Her child. Can you imagine what it took for her to say that, to come to this conclusion?
In light of this, what gives anyone the right, including the media, to make this about race. As she said it so plainly "it is about a right and wrong thing".
That is all that needs to be said.
