If Trayvon Martin had stalked George Zimmerman with a gun and shot him on the evening of February 26, 2012, its dead certain he would have been arrested that very nigh, and spent the ensuing months in the slammer, with a very high bail imposed and public opinion stacked against him, with most white Americans inclined to think he was a vicious thug. Finding a jury that could render an objective verdict in the case of a black kid in a hoodie who shot a lighter skinned man named Zimmerman would have been virtually impossible.
In fact, even though he is the person who is dead, Trayvon Martin has been treated to the kinds of character assassination frequently experienced by rape victims. Just as rape victims must prove they did nothing to provoke being raped, black murder victims have to prove they didnt deserve to be murdered.
It is a crime to be black in this country. In all categories of crime, the number of black men locked up in Americas prisons is vastly disproportionate to their percentage of the population.
But once the racism has been stipulated, the next step must be to seek ways to change the pervasive racist attitudes that poison us all and that get so many black kids killed. Stereotypes about young black men are not only held by self-righteous vigilantes like George Zimmerman, or the fulminating firebrands at Fox News; theyre internalized and incubated in the black community as well. A couple of decades ago, Jesse Jackson was criticized for admitting that even he gets uneasy when hes on the streets alone and spots three or four young black males coming his way. Theres barely an American to be found anywhere who doesnt experience a spike in blood pressure at the sight.....

How can one argue with such "reasoning"? Would I be out of line asking what specific statute makes it a crime?
i read the whole thing and i get it and he is right this country needs to stop idolizing people who glamorize crime
Has anyone seen both of them at the same location at the same time?
Clown even looks like a do#$%^h.
I wish the war would stsrt soon.
I think the statement should read. “Blacks commit more crimes than whites, so cops are more suspicious of blacks”.
Zimmermans murder would be tossed in the Cold Case file and Trayvon would have the street cred to continue a wasted life and probably other multiple felonies before caught or killed

“...Very radical left liberal socialist with an extreme intolerance for any thoughts that arent HIS! What a creep!...”

“The face of White Guilt.”
That and other factors put Obama in the White House.
