Yea what about Zimmerman saying that this @#$%^ing coon deserved it. Well thats racial right there. I wish one of your redneck kids were in the sames situation and dressed like that and see how you feel. You all make me sick. Your disgusting, and racists. A justified killing becouse he was dressed like that. I have friends that dress like that, but there not thugs, and there white, so are they thugs, or no because there white. Ok enough of that thought, let me go throw up.

The racial stuff wasn't even on the front burner until the media started in on it...not sure how the race of the latin guy became white though.
It was generated from those who have ignorance on their minds who wanted to pick a race issue to drain/feed from w/o fully evaluating it. Its a sapiens sapiens issue more then its a race issue but its nice to see strong minds like yours have researched it more to see the media effects as they control the minds.

Just because he dresses like that does not produce an incentive to shoot him in a sane person's mind. The only way it could be justified is if Trayvon had assaulted Zimmerman, which at this point does not seem likely since there were no weapons found on him.

Depends on the way you look at it i guess, if you saw some white kid dressed up trying to look all ghetto-faboulous complete with loose clothes hanging round their a$$ gold chains complete with doo-rag you'd just laugh, but because he's 'coloured' 'oh no he's a thug' funny isnt it.... or is it not =/

Well some on this forum use the term redneck and hillbilly on this forum with out any repercussions,
I just hate those terms, it is just as much stereotyping as any racial slur.

Absolutely Disgusting, I usually dislike americans and westerners in general, black or white, christian, muslim or hindu but what I despise more is the 'people' who follow the gangsta hiphop cRap "Cultcha". Anyone who follows it is instantly my enemy, simple as that.
back on topic, this Kid not only looks like a thug but he is a thug and sadly if I saw someone like him walking around my backyard I would probably follow him too or ask him to leave, if he posed a threat to me then yes I would kill him if I had to. Might be doing society a big million dollar favor by removing another thug off the streets. Thanks Liberals, and Thanks Obama.edit on 26-3-2012 by coirener because: (no reason given)

Oh, I disagree first off. That area is known for its erm..interesting genetic line (the family stick). Also, people tend to go where they feel most welcome. suggesting living high in the hills is somehow the same as race is nonsense...unless you can simply drive in a car and become a different color... People in America choose where they want to live.
You are welcome to disagree all you want to but it still does not make your statements correct. Yes I do feel welcome in my area due to the fact that I own the land I live on and worked hard to get it. I am at peace with my neighbors even though they may be racist or "bible thumpers", and they respect me because they have witnessed the fact that I was able to raise my four sons to respect their neighbors and to treat people with courtesy. You stereotyped hillbillies as all racist. I drew a comparison, in which I also used the attire a person wore as an example, not just race. My point being that all stereotyping is invalid and wrong. The "family stick"? Implying inbreeding? Interesting enough, but I can't say as I personally know anyone in my area that is guilty of that. The area is actually better known for it's beautiful scenery and laid back atmosphere which is why I transplanted here from Houston many years ago.
BTW, my "jug band" consists of myself, and two of my sons as well as several friends. Electric guitars and Marshall amps turned up to 10. Our music doesn't include bluegrass or gospel, but if you like classical or heavy metal we would be more than happy to play a set for you.

how do you make that judgement, I'm sure he could view a pic of a white kid in the same manner, leave the white bashing to one side

Dark hooded sweatshirt... pants belted off around the knees... sideways flat brimmed off color Yankees hat... untied $400 shoes... can't ever look anyone in the eye unless they're in a pack... and fit the description of every crime committed in your city... while they'll never mention the color of the perps skin... because giving an accurate description would be "racist"...
You're welcome...
why ?most of them would be white over here , even down to the yankees hat ....AND I LIVE IN THE UK ........so i cant see how it could be racist....its a FASHION the world around , mebbe should ban hip hop and rap and mtv and the under 18 ,s from going out ??
Ahh i see your question was rhetorical and your a racist trying to come up with excuses for your racism...I get it now.....

OK let's get the details right before we go making a martyr out of the "kid"
With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who eventually shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old, then Trayvon climbed on top of George Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered, authorities have revealed to the Orlando Sentinel. That is the account Zimmerman gave police, and much of it has been corroborated by witnesses, authorities say. Orlando Sentinel
This why the police have not charged him and he won't be indicted by a grand jury. Once again the militant black "spokespersons" got it wrong just like in previous cases where black females eventually recanted their rape claims which had spun up the blacks.
The black community needs to take a long introspective look at themselves. They foment a culture of violence and celebrate thuggery by their actions/inaction, music and misogyny. Their misplaced outrage is in fact, THE outrage, when black youths drive through the hood and kill innocent black kids with AK 47 fire. We've had that happen several times in the last few months. So where is the outrage at that. They just shrug with the attitude black boys will be black boys.
This is their form of racism plain and simple. Black on Black killing isn't racist to them so they don't care. It's their culture that continues to trip them up and not one of their so called national leaders has the strength to stand up and say it.
