When Geralda Rivera said that Trayvon Martin was partially responsible for his own murder because he wore “thug” clothes, he was saying what only saying what most Zimmerman supporters have been thinking all along, but refuse to say aloud. It is awfully sad, and unfair, that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and white boys and men who look like him, can dawn a hoodie whenever they like, and never be considered a threat. This is not about hoodies or “thug” clothes, but the color of the men wearing the clothes. It’s about freedom. Everything else is excuse making.
To the Zimmerman supporters who say this has nothing to do with race, take a look at this photoshopped image that’s making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter. Tell me that you’d be still be supporting Zimmerman if the tables were turned. Would you still be donating $1,000 per day to Zimmerman’s support fund if he resembled the image on the right? And for once, be honest with yourself:
What a knee slapper!
Actually Zimmerman does not look that different than the picture on the right. It is not race as much as gender and age. If Trey was a 60 year old woman would anyone have cared if she were walking around the complex in the rain.
What if John McCain were half black and Barack were white as driven snow?
Get over it racists.
If they posted a picture of the kid when he was 12 years old and that of the other in as bad a frame as they could find, and I was told that the black guy had chased the white “kid” down and shot him, of course I would be against the shooter.
Just like I was when I initially saw the pictures and heard the stroy about Trevon being chased down and killed.
But that isn’t really what happened, and so I changed my mond.
When I say that the “kid” wasn;t a 12-13 year old byut a 17-18 year old who was 6’2” tall, and when I heard the eyewitness say it was Zimmerman on the ground being beatin by Trevon...slamming his head into the side walk...and then as the evidence came out to support this story, and that it was Zimmerman crying for help.
Well, I changed my mind, just as I would if it turned out a white kid who was a hood had doubled back on the balck neighborhood watch and confronted him and started beating him so severely.
Zimmerman did what he had to do, not just to defend himself, but to survive.
If the colors were reversed I honestly would have come to the same conclusions.
Like most liberal mind sets...they want to project on the rest of us what they feel. They are racists and figure we must certainly be also. But we’re not. I see two Americans and then try to find which one was breaking the law and trying to harm the other. In this case, that is now obvious.
And so far no evidence to suggest that George Zimmerman was unjustified in his actions that night.
Um, yes. 100%. I hate white thugs just as much as any other thugs.
Racists asshat.
(Directed to the author, not 2nd.)
Show me Zuckerberg or a white non-hood-wannabe who wears a hood up in 85 degree weather.
Then we can talk.
Doogie Hauser!
Absolutely. I'm for the rule of law, not for supporting someone because of the color of their skin.
Put the white kid in a hoodie, not smiling and older, THEN WE’LL TALK. Until then, it’s the same’ol false narrative.
If whites were racist Obama would’ve never been elected and there was every reason in the world NOT to vote for him.
If the scenario were reversed like the pic, who would Yvette Carnell be supporting?
The early handicapping is Z walks.
The new uncertainty of the witnesses pretty much implicitly exonerates his “stand his ground” defense.
Latino-on-black violence. Unprecedented.
Z did nothing illegal — even following Martin was perfectly legal.
I am not saying Z was 100% an angel — he could have executed differently.
But now it is pretty much over.
No I wouldn’t. But then I don’t donate to Zimmerman either.
But I would be happy to donate to a lawsuit vs Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the New Black Panthers. They weren’t exercising their free speech, they were inciting riot and violence upon another.
I cannot understand why they haven’t been charged and arrested.
These village idiots need to be tied up in court and paying 100’s of thousands of dollars in defensive legal fees — to which we’ll get to watch them solicit donations for their legal defense fund.
Zimmerman isn’t white.
He’s half white and half Hispanic.
Like President Obama is half white and half black.
Geraldo is also Hispanic.
I don’t know where this “white boys” stuff is coming from.
Maybe they should take their gripes to La Raza.
“I see two Americans and then try to find which one was breaking the law”
Obviously, you didn’t go to Harvard Law School. As proponent of Critical Race Theory, Obama believes that adherence to the Rule of Law constitutes racism. The only fact worthy of consideration here is that if Obama had a son, he would look like Travon.
This already happened. Anyone can search the FR archive to see how most of us supported John White in the Long Island neighborhood shooting back in 2008, I think it was.
John White was the black homeowner who shot and killed the leader of a band of drunken teen toughs who threatened his son and family. He was convicted of owning an unregistered firearm (peculiar to New York) and served a few weeks in jail before the outgoing black governor of New York pardoned him.
Go read the stories. White had my full support and the same from almost everyone who posted in those threads. Even Al Sharpton weighed in publically for John White. So go screw your mothers, “Black World Coalition”, whoever you assholes are.
