The Trayvon Martin Shooting

[JDub]

I think we should all lynch a random white guy just because...has a white guy ever been lynched? My proof that society is finally over race will be when I can say the "N" word and people will have to ask "Who do you mean, the white guy or black guy?". Because in my head you don't have to be a certain race to be a ghetto, trashy, lazy, violent piece of shit with more misplaced pride than Sarah Palin. And yes, Sarah Palin is a "N". She may not be violent but no matter how well dressed she is she still comes across as ignorant trash with oodles of misplaced pride.

People get shot everyday...Why is this one so popular?

The shooters have a tendency to get arrested, too. This case may not have even been given further scrutiny had people not made a big deal of it.

The idea that we still won't even see an arrest in this case is a very real possibility right now.

^ditto.

And we can finally get over race in this country when affirmative action is repealed and employers no longer ask you what race you are, because it shouldn't matter what color you are. I believe in no special, different or preferential treatment of any race, for any reason.

And besides, "race" is not a valid biological concept anyway. There are no boundaries between them, and it's nothing but grey areas. I say ditch the concept entirely, it can only be used for discrimination anyway.

1. The child was unarmed and, according to the news, was minding his own business.

2. Even though this might not be true, neighborhood watch aren't supposed to have guns.

3. If it weren't for it bringing so much attention to the media, Zimmerman wouldn't have been brought to court for killing Martin, considering it took them so long for the case to happen.

And most importantly......

4. Ethnicity, and stereotype (Martin's hoodie) played a factor. According to the news, Zimmerman labeled Martin as a threat because he was an African-American wearing a hoodie, and was walking around a middle class neighborhood. At least according to the idiot of the year, Geraldo Rivera.

In addition, the word "coon" was allegedly uttered out of Zimmerman's mouth during a phone call with the police, and unless he saw a raccoon, there is really no use of saying such a slur. Not sure if I can say "racist much?", considering he is mixed Caucasian and Hispanic, but knowing society, they'll label him as "Caucasian" anyways.

Black or not, Zimmerman killed an unarmed child in cold blood, and he should be arrested for it.

We will see how Florida does with this case though, since they have been known to be pretty controversial recently *cough* Casey Anthony *cough*.
