“The thing is, I see Trayvon Martins everyday,” wrote the teacher. “I worry about young black men and their prospects in a world where a man is able to kill one without being convicted of something. Even if it isn’t as simple as that, kids will see it that way. Rednecks are holding their heads a little higher and tapping the guns on their holsters eager for a stand your ground moment.”

The moron. In 2011, in murders involving a single victim and a single perpetrator, whites were responsible for 193 of the 2,695 black murder victims or 7%. Blacks were responsible for 2447 of them or about 91%. In contrast, whites were responsible for 2630 of the 3172 white murder victims or 82.9%. Blacks were responsible for 448 of the 3172 white murder victims or 14% (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6).

In 2011, whites constituted about 63% of the U.S. population, Hispanics about 17%, and blacks about 12% (http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-by-raceethnicity/). So individuals from 12% of the population were responsible for double the number of murders of whites as whites were of blacks. Black murders were a bit over 6300. White murders, a bit over 5800. So 12% of the population had more murder victims than 63% of the population and most of those, where race of perpetrator could be confirmed, were committed by blacks.

Just some more of what I term, “educated fools.” God forbid they should let facts get in the way of their liberal agenda.

I just get so sick of their moronic viewpoint with little grasp on the real facts of this case.

We probably should let this die down, but how can it when there is so much misinformation out there and idiots are quick to parrot the left’s talking points? Are people this stupid that they can’t do their own research, rather than just believe what the lying liberal media spews? Apparently so. And to think that these teachers are held is such high esteem among the community when they themselves are so danged ignorant and should know better.

Teach is a moron. There is such a thing as justifiable homicide. Any teach worth her salt would know that. School sucked. Sucks. And always will suck!
