Race has not a dang thing to do with this. The color of your skin is not the issue.

Yea You heard me, Snotty ass White Privilege.
No such thing. Yes, you heard me. No such thing as white privilege. Maybe there used to be a long while back. But not now. If anything, it's just the opposite. Educated white males in this country are trashed by small minded racists and routinely put aside for less educated and less capable 'people of color'. 'white privilege'.... pffft ...

This is what a REAL racial hate crime looks like ...
Baltimore Sun Witness claims youths yelled 'this is for Trayvon' in beating
Baltimore police say they are investigating a witness account that a group of black youths beat a Hispanic man near Patterson Park Sunday while saying, "This is for Trayvon."
A witness posted the account on a community Facebook page, and police confirmed they are looking into whether the suspects' reaction to the verdict in the Florida trial of George Zimmerman played a part in the incident. A police report on the beating does not mention the alleged comments.
In a post that drew nearly 50 comments on Facebook, real estate agent Christina Dudley said she was walking to her car just before 9 p.m. when she saw several young black males and two black females chasing a 37-year-old Hispanic man west on North Linwood Avenue past East Fairmont Avenue.
"One of the boys had a handgun out and it was pointed at the back of him," Dudley said in an interview.
They caught up to the man at the corner of Fairmount and N. Streeper Street, and the male with the gun beat the victim with what appeared to be his gun while others kicked and stomped him, Dudley said.
Who is to blame for this?
The black youths who committed the crime are to blame.
Their parents for not keeping track of their children and teaching them better are to blame.
The media for manufacturing racial elements to the Zimmerman trial are to blame.
The race baiters who fanned the flames (Sharpton most of all) are to blame.
Eric Holder for continuing to try to make the Zimmerman thing about race, when it isn't, is to blame.
The NAACP for demanding the (IN)justice dept grab torches and pitchforks and go after Zimmerman is to blame.
And yes .. I'll even add Obama to this. His interjection of 'if I had a son he'd look like Trayvon' was misplaced and didn't help.
ALL OF THEM ARE TO BLAME. Shame on all of them. :shk:

And I CAN PROVE IT.
I have TWO daughters, one Light skinned Blond hair Blue Eyes,
Another DARK SKIN HAZEL EYES and I DO MEAN DARK. She's Half Cherokee Native Indian, her father was Full Blood Cherokee.
See That MYTH might fly in all an White Southern or good ole boy community, it might Fly in an all black or brown community,
BUT THAT SHIAT DON'T FLY WITH MULTI CULTURAL BI-RACIAL FAMILIES/COMMUNITIES THAT KNOW BETTER.
Ive moved Several times to get AWAY FROM YES SNOTTY ASS WHITE PRIVILEGED FOLKS. They exist all Over the place. AS does a Priveleged Sanitized racist system.
We are also a Very diverse religious family...from Christian to Pagan to Native Indian to Agnostic, and one Jew. Though not very practicing and somewhat anarchist.
Are there Racist blacks? yes, We've had our share of dealing with That garbage too, both blacks and browns...but it's not Anywhere Near the widespread yes uppity sanitized hidden white racism, that yes Superiority complex. And I will say,
majority of it has MORE TO DO WITH "CLASS" than Anything...the two do NOT work in a vacuum.
I don't care What race or Religion you are, I will call you out on it, whether it's an attack on whites by color or attacks on color by whites. I have TWO DAUGHTERS, ONE WHITE ONE BROWN and I LOVE THEM BOTH THE SAME. And I AS A MOTHER have SEEN the SHIAT that whites do, to my own Daughter,
And My daughters people have more damn rights to BE here than ALL IF US EURO CENTRIC and NEVER forget that. And yet, She has more wisdom and understanding of what Racism and Privelege and Respect is than most, as do my other two who Always come to the defense of kids of color when they SEE firsthand the Racism by White adults
Like Many a morning when they take public Bus to a Charter school and WHITE bus drivers will harass the kids of color, who GO TO SAME SCHOOL. And Not because these kids are bad, they just Brown, or Black. KIDS. My kids see it All the time,
