the runs formula posted:Don't assault people and you won't get shot. It seems pretty straight forward. So you're saying that if I punch a dude in the head that automatically means that he can shoot me? Where's the justice in that?

Are Hispanics incapable of racism? I don't really understand the "Zimmerman was Hispanic" defense unless it's specifically in response to claims of white supremacy or something.

There are going to be groups trying to target him. I do think from a legal standpoint, the verdict was what I expected, but he is the only one who truly knows what went down that night. This is true of a lot of murder cases.

lovely verdict, but I am not suprised in the least. No one saw the altercation and it basically came down to a dead black kids version of the events against Zimmermans.

Took guts for the jury to decide that way. Facts aside, I don't know if I could look at Martin's mom and say what amounts to "Sorry, your boy deserved to get shot to death for attacking that man."

SpiderHyphenMan posted:The system can never be overthrown without violence? Have you ever read The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander? White people, as long as they are in power, will always find a way to oppress minorities in a way that's subtle enough to placate the drooling masses. I'm aware of its findings but not the book itself, I'll give it a read, thank you.

Samurai Sanders posted:I thought the issue wasn't that Zimmerman was white but rather that Martin was a black male teenager, with all the unfortunate images that puts in people's heads. This. It doesn't matter that Zimmerman wasn't white, it only matters that Martin was black and Zimmerman wasn't. Which is why the freep and racist white demographic, who are constantly chomping at the bit for an excuse to shoot black people, rallied behind Zimmerman and his cause. They saw Zimmerman as a surrogate for themselves, acting out their fantasies.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:Fixed to make the statement actually true. Gee, you'll have to explain the real world to all the white co workers where I am that are on work release. Seems they missed the notice. I wouldn't say so much racism as simply money. A higher proportion of people living in gang infested areas are black. Thus you're more likely to see more black people in prison due to that.

Sad that so many people in here seem to think someone has to be white for this case to have racial undertones. This was a young black dude who was killed because he was a young black dude.
