    It does...

    Just when it doesnt, it isnt enough. You fell for the Michael Brown bullshit too, I bet. Only to find out it was a hoax, and now you're still pissed off.

    Let me guess, you believed Jussie Smollet too? You did, didnt you?

    I can understand your anger. You've been on quite the losing streak.

    And his mother is Hispanic. The only reason to indicate he is part white is to create more racial strife and compound the story. The story could have merely been about TM and GZ, but the media needed to create a story behind the actual story and play on the racial tension that is increasing in this nation, thanks to the MSM.

    This thread certainly illustrates how successful the mainstream media was in brainwashing a bunch of their gullible leftwing followers regarding Trayvon. The fact that they are also being subtly brainwashed by a whole bunch of other hoaxes is something they'd just as soon gloss over, apparently. Give it a few months and maybe they'll be defending Smollett just as vehemently ;)

    I'm happy to discuss virtually any topic with you, but not if you are just going to make things up to support your extreme viewpoints.

    Do you know whose opinion mattered the most in the Zimmerman verdict? The legal one. Legally he was found not guilty (and the DOJ and FBI couldn't even find enough evidence to charge him in the first place, so you'd might as well consider those as two more "not guilty" verdicts.) Anyone who supports the law would cheer that truth and justice prevailed. I don't know why you think "right wingers" and "racists" are the only ones who support the rule of law.

    What about Ferguson? Can you admit Obama handled that one terribly too, and once again was on the wrong side of truth and justice?

    What about Smollett? Do you still believe him?

    What about any of the other myriad examples in the original post ---- do you believe those hoaxes were all real also?

    What else would you call him, when I was 28yrs old I was 197lbs and I damn sure didn't need a gun for a 160lb teenager.

    How was it hoax, nobody still hasn't told us how that altercation went down other than the man who is still alive.

    Not really, didn't really see 2 white guys attacking a black man in Chitown and putting a noose around his neck.

    Losing streak? I guess you are right, we have always been on a losing streak when it comes to the Justice System.

    Because you fail to comprehend the earlier posts in this thread.
    The earlier posts referred to Obama as a black skin prez. Not his ethnical makeup.

    So the fact that his father is white doesn't matter, wasn't his wife white as well.

    So if Trayvon had been white you think the outcome would have been the same? I sure as hell don't.

    Because like you, neither of us was there. Neither of us really knows what really happened.

    No, it should ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the story nor the relevance of the event.


    There is PLENTY of cases of a white man defending himself against a white attacker but it is merely a splash in the news. Reported as an event and move on.

    Question to you, if Trayvon was white, do you think Zimmerman would have been prosecuted?

    Hmm wondered why the medical examiner said the cuts on the back of Z's head were consistent with blows to concrete. Wonder why the evidence at the trial didn't support your theories. Must be some kind of conspiracy.

    1. Jury members on the Zimmerman case stated afterwards that the judges direction as to how they could rule was confusing at best. And yes, Zimmerman's dad did reach out to his connections with the local police...a matter of fact, a matter of history.
    2. The FBI and DOJ said they could not prove intention. However, it was the local trial that could have proved 3rd degree manslaughter had the judge gave better clarification to the jury as to the parameters of ruling.
    3. Only YOU have tried to blame Obama for the Zimmerman case.....you're revisionism, supposition and conjecture is astounding. The media gave no "hoax"...Zimmerman's own testimony and subsequent examination of the evidence only showed a "hoax" on justice for a kid killed for merely going home and trying to evade/fight an armed stalker.
    4. 7 years....and folk like you are STILL BS'ing about what happened. The chronology of the posts shows I didn't bring this up, so I'll ask again, how in the hell does a hoax by a jackass actor equate with manslaughter of an innocent adolescent?

    Remember, the jury complained afterwards that the judge's instructions on how they could rule was confusing at best. And I wrote that the fix was in to get Georgie off....never said the fix was in for manslaughter, which is what he's guilty of. "Stand your ground" is a f'ing joke....how the hell can you tail someone for no other reason than personal suspicion, told by the cops you don't have to, then falsely claim to be jumped from behind a bush that in reality couldn't hide a 6 year old? GMAFB! Go back and read what the jurors complained about regarding the judge's instructions....about what evidence the judge ruled out. Yeah, you got your legal pass...and Trayvon is dead for making the mistake of fighting back against an unknown assailant who tailed him at night for no reason.

    Trying to equate with some stupid actor pulling a fast one on the media is beyond rational thought!

    Get educated man......brown skin hispanics are NOT black Americans....and you'd be wise not to try and tell them that to their face. Go to some South American countries and experience the unspoken separation/segregation of people of African descent to those of Spanish, Portugese decent.

    And spare us all that dumb retort of "leftist racist"....meaning that if one points out the congenital racism in America, they are racist themselves! That's so absurd that one would have to suspend rationality and logic to believe it.

    Zimmerman got away with manslaughter, because you don't unjustly stalk a guy and then whine "stand your ground" when the guy confronts you to stop it
    Jussie is some idiot actor who pulled a hoax and did a disservice to the gay folk seeking civil rights in the job market and society in general.

    Big difference.

    Wrong. The key witness, Furman, was debunked by testimony of other cops on the scene regarding evidence that magically appeared. And the world's foremost authority on blood spatter patterns (who was not allowed to testify) stated that more than one assailant killed those people.

    Simpson is a creep and a jackass, IMHO....but that doesn't make him a murderer. Deal with it.

    Really?? It's the left that supercharged reverse racism with the chanting of white privilege, black caucuses, affirmative action, black history month, segregated black only dorm rooms, Black only TV stations ... I mean this list goes on and on. Replace black with White with any of the above and the left's head would be exploding, screaming racism and I would be right there with them as racism in all forms is wrong.

    If we are ever to evolve past racism, ALL racism has to be eliminated.

    The civil case against him states otherwise.

    I could give a return argument about the shoe prints in blood, the DNA, or a any number of other things including how one juror was clueless on how DNA worked, how the defense argued that blood left in a warm evidence van could deteriorate and miraculously turn into Simpson's, how another juror said it was pay back for Rodney King, and so on. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would encounter anyone who is still arguing that Simpson is innocent, which you just did.

    The left needs racism. Racism promotes their agenda which relies a lot on division and identity politics, and for the media it gets ratings a clicks.

    the civil case DOES NOT require the thorough examination that a state or federal case does....which is truly F'ed up, IMHO. Think about it, all one has to do is convince people that you're guilty WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO CONCLUSIVELY PROVE VIA FACT that you are. Scary.

    But the surviving family members and the congenitally bigoted in America got their pound of flesh on that one.

    - Do you know what "white privilege is"? Can you logically and factually disprove it?
    - So if black members of Congress band together and that's "racist" in your limited knowledge? Do you know why it was formed? Do you know how many caucuses there are in Congress? Do your homework before typing, please?
    - Each year the DOJ reports cases of "red lining" in America..just ONE example of why you have things like affirmative action. But hey, when they do away with "legacy" students, then you can eliminate affirmative action.
    - When you eliminate ALL ethnic national parades or holidays in America, and then have more fact based, inclusive history taught in our schools, then Black History Month will not exist.
    - Since "whites" are the dominate population in America, and our TV programs reflect this....I can understand why you're in such a tizzy about SELECTIVE programs that are predominantly black.
    - Black dorm rooms? Examples, which include history please.

    Again, since you are part of the majority, and the culture reflects this in all aspects, why are having a hissy fit? Jussie is an idiot who got nailed...and those who jumped the gun on generalized condemnations should mea culpa. So far, NOTHING you mentioned takes food out of your mouth or money out of your wallet. So what's the beef?

    Ahh, but the local cops didn't arrest Georgie initially because of it. Look it up!
