    And folk like you could care less what happens to others or the history of this country's racism so long as you're comfortable.

    I don't live in history and neither do you. But if I did live in history I'd be complaining about the discrimination the Irish and Italians received along with the Armenian genocide.

    But they're the ones wanting a Globalised world.

    This gives us a great snapshot of the cognitive dissonance involved.

    And the Chinese, during the Gold Rush days. And the Japanese, interred and starved during WWII. And the Sub-Continentals, when they first started arriving in the UK.

    Didn't even need to be a tasty bait. When erstwhile racists are starved of source material, they'll take anything offered.

    Were you an adult at the end of the 20thC? Things were definitely better then. By a good margin.

    The police did not arrest George Zimmerman because there was nothing to merit an arrest ---- self defense is legal, and there was nothing to refute Zimmerman's claim of self-defense. The police chief himself agreed there was not enough evident to arrest Zimmerman. The State Attorney's office also agreed initially, and did not charge Zimmerman. It wasn't until it was turned into a political circus that the DOJ and FBI became involved and the "case" was assigned to Angela Corey. And..... wait for it...... after wasting all of that time and money on multiple investigations, having law enforcement officers dragged through the mud, seeing the town of Sanford turned upside down, and knowing that Zimmerman's life will never be the same again...... it turned out Zimmerman really was NOT GUILTY after all.

    white privilege/supremacy is thinking you have the right to tell POC how to vote/what to think, and ensuring their continued enslavement via 'welfare'.

    The shooting was real

    But the leftwing lies afterward ruined any chance for common ground

    I know what today's definition means, however, my daughters "white privilege" must have been broken when she was rejected by various colleges through the guise of "holistic review" with a 4.0 GPA. Fisher v. University of Texas is a prime example of affirmative action gone bad.

    Where is the white caucus then? And I understand fully why it was formed and it's platform I agree with. Not letting Caucasians with the same moral ground join, in my humble opinion, is racist.

    I think I do recall a recent story about Harvard doing a similar practice to it's Asian applicants.

    You want to eliminate Doctor Martin Lutheran King day or Cinco De Mayo? That seems racist!

    I'm not sure you grew up in the 70's, but there were a TON of black entertainment on the mainstream television. Still a fan of George and Weezie Jefferson.

    FYI

    Casey Anthony was found not guilty in Florida as well. You’ll pardon me if I don’t have a whole lot of faith in the Florida judicial system.

    George Zimmerman makes quite a role model for the Republican Party.

    Broke and a loser. Karma is a bitch! Well earned crappy life for a loser like him.

    I have to wonder why Eric Holder and the DoJ, along with the FBI, didn't come to the same conclusion you did?

    But why would "that story" work on the FBI and the DoJ? They were highly motivated to charge Zman with something. Yet they found nothing?

    In what way should Republicans regard Zman? Why should there even be a political spin to this?

    Actually, it's about how you're trying to turn something that wasn't a hoax into a hoax.

    I think he could have represented all of us, but Obama chose his side over the rest of us.

    The Japanese were targeted by Democrats. i doubt the Chinese that worked on the railroad would have hung around had they not been paid.

    i did not realize that. Zimmerman got treated to our American justice system. If one thinks only fair treatment comes from the justice system, welcome to America. Bear in mind this fact. Damned near all your modern laws came from Democrats.

    As the POS thug he is? Notice a lot of the Trump faithful keep bringing him up like a hero like most here do.

    Yes they took it to the lawyers first, did it by the book. Don’t get me wrong, I think he should have at least been convicted of Fl’s involuntary manslaughter code. I just don’t think the fix was in...the case got way to much media coverage for the DA to do te right thing and took it to a jury
