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.....

After reading the comments by a number of people, it’s amazing how many libs think Zimmerman should have been content to have Martin slam his head into the concrete instead of pulling a gun. I’d bet a lot of money every last one of those libs would have done what Zimmerman did if in the same situation. I wouldn’t care who was pounding my head into concrete, if I had a gun, like Zimmerman, I’d use it.
You wonder if these retards are even aware of how many children have been killed in Chicago in the year and a half since Trayvon was shot.
I remember when I first saw this jackalope on a low budget Chicago cable access show featuring cut-rate racial grievance mongers. He was so pompous, misinformed, and just plain abrasive that I should have known he was going to go places in the lib media.
Until his “children” are raised and disciplined properly, they fall under the category of “need killing.”
This moron fails to notice that the deceased thug was beating George to death. Anything he has to say about this case can be safely ignored.
I was about a 5’4” 17 year old. You should’ve seen the 13 year olds that were 5’10” and taller when I was that age.
Dyson is a first class racist.
yes msnbc don’t let little incidentals like the facts get in the way of what you’d like the trial to be about. you hysterical shrieking little girl of a network.
try 93%.
The saddest part of this report is learning this shriveled up mind is a University Professor and has access to young minds.
This man’s mind suffers from a sickness called ignorance. Ignorance can be corrected. All ignorant thinkers have access to information that will diminish their ignorance. The Professor chose to ignore the available information thereby graduating from ignorance to stupidity and you can’t fix stupid.
no race card to play when a brotha kills a brotha.
obama for one. holder for another. jarrett for three.
“Yet no Lamentations for the black on black violence in the cities..”
Exactly. How many murders in Chicago over the 4th of July weekend? How many were black? How many perpetrators were black? Barely a burble in the media....
What does he have to say about the 2 Ns that shot and killed the baby in the stroller near Atlanta recently?
That poor unfortunate lad seems to have spasmodic digits ;-)
I think you would have to find a true albino (has no pigment) to find someone with skin as light as mine. Therefore, in normal people (excluding the albino), I am white. All the rest of you not being as white as I am, are “colored” people. If the sun has tanned you, you are “colored” as sun has not colored my skin.
Go ahead and hate me for being white and having blue eyes. That way you colored people can join with the people who call themselves black as all of you would be colored, therefore there would be no racial tension - all of you would just hate me. See, I just cleared up this racial hatred.
The above makes no sense but it makes as much sense as treating badly, thinking badly about, this person for being brown and this person for being black and this person for being light brown and this person for being yellow.
When this country was being populated, the Irish came and were not liked, the Germans came were not liked, the Italians were not liked, the you name it nationality was not liked.
It is just a fact that one not like you is suspect. Case in point: My son was born and raised in Texas. He is a six foot tall Texan. After 20+ years living in London, he sounds British - you would not believe he is a Texan. A man who has never been overseas, never been out of this country, met my son and was leery of him, almost didn't want to be around him, almost afraid of him, because my son didn't sound like him. He asked me what country my son was born in and I said Texas. The man would not believe me. He said my son could not be from this country because he didn't talk right. I think the man was glad to leave to get away from this foreigner son.
You can take the above example and multiply it by some millions to illustrate we don't exactly trust someone who is different than we are. Throw in a different color that assaults your eyes every time you look at a different color person, and unrest may set in.
Differences will always be with us and some people don't handle that well. As a result, there may be riots over this country when the Zimmerman verdict comes down. Sharpton and Jackson and Hussein are three who don't handle differences well.
LOL! Some people are amazing. They just make up their own facts.
I don’t know if this was the exchange that I saw on Bill Maher. I think it might have been, but this is with Andrew Breitbart and this “intellectual” Dyson. Dyson likes to hear himself talk. He talks fast and throws in some “big” words. The title is not mine. I think Breitbart does a great job making his case. He’s up against a liberal audience, a fast talking black studies “intellectual” who is spouting the same grievance garbage they’ve been spouting for decades and attacking conservatives like Rush Limbaugh (wow that’s novel!), and foul mouth Bill Maher.

Those "folks" are called the MSM whose function these days is to create controversy where none exists in order to report on the chaos they themselves created.........It's a beautiful thing!
