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.

All I can say is that I have lost all respect and gained much disrespect.
obama succeeded where charles manson failed.

do we need pigment color wheels now?
if you match the left side you are black hispanic. to the right. white.
wonder where michael jackson would fall.
Well, he's right - if a black guy killed a white kid it would hardly make the newspaper - no less the national news.. White guy was killed by four blacks a day or two ago in Georgia. Bet Dyson and Bashir never heard about it...
And two of Charlie Manson’s biggest fans are Billy the Bomber Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Dig it!
Haunting words. These f’s will cut our throats just as surely as the moslems.
Yup..lol...and then they think.....If only Id have bought some watermelons instead of my expensive mango's.....
Weird, they corrected it .. it was 75 wounded, and 12 were murdered.
I wish people would check facts.
