Except that Mr. Zimmerman is 1/4 black and didn't profile anyone.

Meanwhile black on black gun violence in Chicago doesn’t make headlines.

Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin have forced the entire nation to look at the harm racial profiling can cause.

I agree! Even though they and their enablers in the media were wrong to racially profile Zimmerman and make the case what it was, it certainly has been a lesson for anyone willing to learn from it.

This Chicago Sun-Times article takes the leftist position that George Zimmerman 'profiled' Travon Martin and shot him because he was black. Both assumptions are patently false and these media lies are getting ridiculous when the evidence at the trial proved that Zimmerman did not 'stalk' Martin and only shot him when he thought his life was in danger. Travon's skin color had nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, that reality goes against the liberal narrative that innocent-as-the-driven-snow black 'youths' are threatened on a daily basis by angry white racists drooling with anticipation as they stalk black people they can murder with impunity. Absolute race-baiting nonsense that is getting intolerable at this late date.

I swear, this fixation on this word “profile” drives me nuts.

I “profile” when I choose between hitting either McD’s or Chick-fil-A for lunch.

I “profile” when I look at different women.

I “profile” when I read the news each day.

Screw this “profile” crappola.

It’s about “choosing” based upon past impressions and experiences.

If the White-African-Americans have a problem with “profiling”, it’s their own damned fault.

There's so much talk about how Trayvon Martin had a right to walk down the street, and about how George Zimmerman had "no right" to follow him or accost him.

George Zimmerman had a right to follow Trayvon Martin. He had a right to accost Trayvon Martin (I don't think he did, but he had a right to).

Trayvon Martin had no right to punch George Zimmerman in the face, however.

We constantly hear "Trayvon Martin committed no crime" - if he punched George Zimmerman in the face because George Zimmerman followed him or talked to him, he absolutely committed a crime.

So Zimmerman called the cops so they could be on their way because he was going to shoot and kill a young black man for no good reason? If you’ll believe that, you’ll believe Barak Obama is a good president.

It is bad enough that so many unarmed black males have been killed by law enforcement in recent years, but the idea that a self-styled watchman has the right to confront a 17-year-old simply because he didn’t like the boy’s looks was too much.

Mary Mitchell is very wrong. All Americans have the right to "confront" strangers in their neighborhood. Trayvon Martin did not have the right to initiate violence against George Zimmerman, and if he had gone home or replied peacefully, he would have survived.

Quite the contrary.

Sometimes it’s not about innocence or guilt. Sometimes the jury tries to impose “fairness”.

It’s all about race...

Young black man did not like Zimmerman following him, so he decided to violently and physically attack him...

He picked the wrong person to assault...

It was not about race when the shot was fired.

Except that the dead man called Zimmerman a creepy-ass cracker, but was automatically forgiven for that racist remark because he was a member of a government-approved specially-privileged minority victim group.

It became about race when the media saw the opportunity to widen the divide and cast Blacks as an everlasting victim group, and Whites as everlasting oppressors.

Now it has become a symbol, and is no longer what it was.

The media, the race-hustlers (including obama and the ‘justice’ department) are to blame for any bloodshed that happens.

I’m right. The left is wrong.

And if that young black male is on top of you pounding your face in, you must ask yourself what you did to provoke the poor boy. And when that young black male has a record of criminal behavior, weed in his system, and we find a slimjim in the bushes where he was hiding, we must ask what could have driven the poor lad to such a state.

Young black males die daily in urban areas across the country, and many of the people who are responsible for the deaths never set foot in a courtroom, let alone stand trial.

Mary, you ignorant slut, that's because THEY'RE KILLED BY YOUNG BLACK MALES. And you race pimps can't use that to get more from the white man, now can you?

I take exception to the assertion that black people are fighting for equality. Neither blacks nor homosexuals want equality.
They want dominance.

“Frankly, if Trayvon had been killed during a confrontation with another black person who lived in the same gated community where Zimmerman lived, I doubt that so many people outside the boy’s family would have reacted as strongly as they did to Trayvon’s death.

“But black people are weary of fighting the battle for equality on so many fronts.”

Do you see the utter lack of logic in these two sentences?

Black people mostly kill black people. This exclusively means that it is a “black” problem. Equality has nothing to do with it.

That a non-black person kills a black person is only a tiny percentage of black homicides. Does this mean that black people are so racist that people of other races are not *permitted* to kill them, no matter what they do, what crimes they commit?

This is asking that black people have license to commit any crimes they want to without punishment by non-black people; but can be killed at will by other black people.

Insanity.
