"I don’t consider a discussion based on an accusation from Al Jazeera to be very worthwhile . rather like trying to discuss race with Eric Holder, BO, Al, or Jesse. The truth is that no discussion will ever be held because the other side refuses to deal in facts. I refuse to be called racist or to see racism at every turn just because some people have gotten their feelings hurt.

Anyone who would suggest that there is institutional racism in the US must be willing to talk about the racism against whites and asians as well as blacks. That will never happen. So since we can’t have an honest discussion about real problems the answer is no we can’t discuss it."

I would have settled for a simple "No" without the frosting.

Institutional racism is alive and well in the 0bama administration and the DOJ.

Yeah, I'd been wondering about that.

But not much, I'll wager.

Having had so much practice at twisting the truth and using the results thereof to sow discord, is it any surprise that this Muzzie b__ch tries to use that very same technique on gullible Amerikans? The ones with such an indoctrinated knee-jerk reaction to anything labeled "racist" that they seemingly react with a reflex arc rather than their cerebrum?

Sad, isn’t it? To make a martyr out of a hoodlum.

The "not guilty" verdict for George Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin did not come as a surprise to African Americans or anyone familiar with the US justice system. Ultimately, the trial was theatre because the decision to clear Zimmerman was effectively made the same day that he shot Trayvon, a 17-year-old African American.

That's retarded, sir....

Acquittal was due to to a jury that decided that the prosecution failed to present sufficient evidence for a guilty verdict.

What a stupid moron.
the law was broken when the young black punk jumped out of the bushes and beat George. No laws had been broken up to that point. GZ defended himself with deadly force. Travon was not only a violent punk he was a stupid violent punk. He got exactly what he deserved.

You’re right, she doesn’t know what she’s ranting about, but this type of garbage is what most Europeans read concerning the U.S. Some years ago, I got into an argument with a Brit bro-in-law who read Michael Moore’s account of the 2000 elections and believed every word of it. Because it’s what they want to believe. Euro lefties, most Europeans, want to believe the lie that the U.S. is a country where minorities are still discriminated against and callously murdered by racist whites. It fits the leftist paradigm they’ve had constructed for them by their leftist teachers.

Interesting to read the comments on AJ about this article. Many are disgusted with the writer’s lies about the case. It seems many AJ readers do not automatically believe the garbage printed in it.

Dear Palestinians,
Quit killing Israeli toddlers while you pretend you care about American adolescents.
Hugs and kisses,

Laz

The power of denial is amazing to behold. So many “people of color” start with, rant on, and conclude that statistics in which people of color murder more and get arrested more is because of institutional racism. They’re like parents who blame their child’s friend for being a bad influence rather than admitting that their child has a drug problem and commits crime. It’s always someone else’s fault.

And this, of course, must be why majority black or Arab areas with black or Arab leadership are such flourishing places with so little violence.

Trayvon thought he could jump a queer and get money for a ‘blunt’.Always was a dumb ass.

Palestinians are a unique form of vermin, a bit lower than plague rats.

Congratulations for calling her a witch, not a bitch. By calling her a bitch you’d have insulted all female dogs, the vast majority of whom are infinitely superior to her in their humanity and genuine compassion.

Palestinians are not “predisposed to stupidity.” After all they have come up with two of the greatest inventions of the late 20th century, the homicide/suicide bomb vest and the reverse mental hospital that takes great masses of marginally normal people and turns them into mass murdering psychotics, as in the Gaza Strip.
