On Tuesday, Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson told MSNBC’s Martin Bashir that he believes, if the racial distinctions were reversed in the case against George Zimmerman for the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin, the public’s reaction to the cases would be dramatically different. He added that the “George Zimmermans of the world continue to get away” with “the killing of our children” without facing justice.
Dyson began by lamenting the course of court proceedings in which, he said, Martin was “dying again the death of a thousand qualifications, which is what our legal system is about.”
“I don’t have much faith in the processes here, because it doesn’t really speak — they don’t really speak to the issues that are being raised here,” he continued.
Dyson said that, if Zimmerman is acquitted of murder charges, “then the children of poor and people of color in this country do not have the same quality of justice as given to those who are able to muster up resources and defend themselves against such a charge.”
Dyson said that Zimmerman was only arrested and charged in the first due to the public “outcry,” leaving him with little hope that a jury would find him guilty. “Part of the moral victory was getting him into the courtroom to be subject to criminal proceedings to begin with,” Dyson added.....

Um... aren’t 85% of blacks murdered by blacks?
Isn’t Zimmerman a “people of color”? Or does this idiot mean there is only one kind of “people of color” color? I’m off white...isn’t that a color?
The lynch mob sees which way this trial is going.
Eh, what hyperbolic rhetoric and incorrect since blacks are more likely to be killed by other blacks.
I’m sure the MSNBC host didn’t bother to challenge Dyson.
Yet no Lamentations for the black on black violence in the cities..
I really can’t listen to black people any more on this subject.
For the most part, they seem utterly incapable and absolutely unwilling to understand what is going on here.
They seem willing to put this man in prison for the rest of his life or kill him on whatever tortured reason they can come up with, and it is sickening.
Trayvon Martin was killed because he was a violent criminal under the influence of drugs attempting to murder a man, and that man saved his own life by killing him.
Deal with it.
HUH does this dope know that blacks kill whites much more, rape white women much more and how about OJ?
You’re mistaken. Zimmerman is a ‘white hispanic’. In other words, he’s just another cracker.
then why does he not go back to England or his parents country
I’d rather have Zimmerman at my back than any Trayvon.
There’s a bloody narrative being managed and advanced here. Some folks want blacks and whites to start a war, and are steering the boat in that direction.
Dyson is a classic racist. Facts do not interfere with his preconceived bias.
Young Black Males
1% of the population responsible for 26% of the homicides.
This Dyson sucks as much as the one I use on the floors here.
No doubt this doesn’t even consider the millions of unborn blacks who are murdered by their own mothers.
same here, when I hear most blacks on TV I walk away as they only see color , no mater how many degrees they got form ivy league schools or black colleges, oh wait are black colleges racist.?
Course to the white guilt fools who live in their ivory nice areas they can never see blacks doing any wrong until they actually see a group of black men out side their own house
coulduh been the other way Dyson.
Trayvon could be the one getting away with murder...
All it would have took was one perfect blow to the head from his fist or bouncing Zimm’s head off the concrete and he’d be dead.
