“Oliver said, adding that much of the fault lies in the way the media portrays young black men.”

It how many young black men conduct themselves that has led to all this.

We hear stories about young black men committing crimes but we don’t hear about young black men graduating from whatever? I don’t see a lot of stories about young white men graduating.

Look, the negroes want this man to be executed REGARDLESS if he’s found guilty or not. If he is found to be innocent, cities will burn . . . mostly because of Eric Holder, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the skinny idiot in our White House.

This is pathetic that it’s happening today in our country, but it shows how more racially divided we are because of the previously mentioned morons, especially since Zimmerman has been found to be a WHITE Latino.

Good Grief!!!!

"...we will hear every story that involves a young black male and some sort of felony crime..."

Uhm, no. Christian and Channon come to mind.

He writes about “young black males” but it takes a young black male and a young black female to create an (out of wedlock) baby, who statistically goes on to do drugs, alcohol, dropout of school, do crimes, make more out of wedlock offspring.

Remember 72 percent of black babies are born outside of wedlock. Their highest crime rate correlates with their highest out of wedlock birth rate.

The public is fully justified to be fearful of them, for they commit disproportionate ratios of violent crimes; eg. assault, murder, etc.

The benefit of this charge against Zimmerman should be the publishing of these facts.

I live in the “greater” Lost Angeles metro area, but carefully avoid entry into predominently black areas.

I started avoiding black areas after they burned their homes and businesses in 1965 (Watts Riot), later reinforced in 1992 (Rodney King Riot).

On the other hand, while a big metro area like this has other ethnic minorities and low income/high crime areas, I don’t fear them to anywhere the degree of the blacks, who earned that status in my view.

That’s a nice read. Thanks. I hope this all works out well for Mr. Oliver and Mr. Zimmerman. It seems Mr. Oliver is really adamant about sticking up for his friend, and that’s refreshing considering the treatment Mr. Zimmerman is getting whil not one person knows any of the facts regarding the shooting.

I don’t buy the problem being youngs blacks are portrayed negatively in the media. I think the exact opposite is the problem. The socialist democrat left and MSM overreacts when any situation occurs between a black and another race. They seem to take the position a black can do no wrong. It’s never the blacks fault, it was someone acting in a racist manner towards him. In this case that reaction has caused many people to be killed and injured because the MSM rushing to judgement to paint racism into this mishap when none was there. Even doctoring key evidence to support their idealogical warped views.

"The problem is, everyone is at fault: the media. Young black men, whites.... Everyone's responsible."

While I applaud this guy for doing the right thing in the face of a racist lynch mob, this line is a cop out. "Everyone" is not responsible. The liberal media and black race hustlers are responsible. I'm not saying Zimmerman is innocent but the media and the Sharptons of the world have rushed to judgment and have fostered an environment where this guy can't get a fair trial. Oliver can't face that fact for some reason.

Oliver, who has known Zimmerman since the 28-year-old began dating the woman he's now married to ("his mother in law is a close friend of my wife's," Oliver told theGrio

Remember my comment about Z having friends and a family member in the black community.....Now I REALLY question whether it's his wife.

Wonder if Oliver will be a witness and if any attempt to sway his testimony has happened.

Also the new lawyer, O'M has worked in media....Has it been with Oliver?

Thanks, I remember that one now. I think it was referred to here on FR after the Christian and Channon torture, rape and murders occurred.

If anybody portrays black youth negatively it’s Hollywood and all their rapper movies.

And didn’t Jesse Jackson himself say that he gets edgy and fearful on dark streets when he sees a gang of hoodies walk by?

Didn’t see the media report on this case (attack on a 78 yr. old man) either as retribution for the death of Trayvon Martin:

"Let's just say now I get 'the look,' when I'm recognized [by black people]," Oliver said. "There have been veiled threats; not directly towards me, but there have been individuals that have found out where I work, and they have made contact with the executives of my company, trying to get me fired because of what I'm doing."

I guess we're lucky these 'oh so open minded' liberals aren't advocating having him shot rather than just fired from his job...

With friends like this, Zimmerman has little need for enemies.
