Black Kid killed for being black

[Wind Song]

U

racism has nothing to do with ignorance.
Assuming Jim did tell you to not act like a buddhist, are you really going to listen to him???? cowardice brings bad karma

Yes, I'm going to listen to Jim in this regard. It is not necessary for me to get into Buddhist explanations in non-religious threads.

[jimnyc]

you mentioned facts and assumptions.
You are assuming the witness accounts are true and accurate, they are NOT FACTS.

FACTS.
Martin was shot with a gun.
Someone was screaming for help and then there was a gun fired.
the location where it took place.
zimmerman ignored the order to not follow Martin.

zimmerman and the other guy, "his buddy" had plenty of motivation to lie.
At what point did the other guy give his statement? If you know.


Your repeating what he said, for whatever is your reason, is part of a process of making assumptions.
nothing more, nothing less
thats all....

How do you figure this guy was Zimmerman's buddy? Oh, and he was on the phone with 911 as the shooting happened. He saw the assault, saw Zimmerman cry out for help as his head was being bashed and then called 911. Do you figure maybe him and Zimmerman made up matching lies while Zimmerman was still getting hit by Trayvon? LOL

Zimmerman he did certain things the night of Feb. 26 to bolster the racial profiling claim. He saw a black kid in a hoodie and immediately decided he was "up to no good." Zimmerman had concluded Martin was guilty of a number of things even though he didn't see the youth commit anything that could be remotely described as a crime. Martin looked like he was on drugs, Zimmerman told police.
Martin was one of "these assholes [who] always get away," Zimmerman said. While Zimmerman might not be a racist, he did draw several conclusions about Martin the night of Feb. 26 that were probably based on race.

Zimmerman lived in a racially mixed appartment complex that had seen SEVERAL break-ins.

Does it not even cross your mind that he may have responded the way he did because of that???

Here is a person walking around, who Zimm doesn't recognize, in the rain, on a cold night, in a neighborhood with a lot of recent break-ins.

You keep refering to Martin as a "kid", yes technically that's right, but, he's a 6'2" "kid". A kid that size would get my little 5'4" attention also if he was walking around my neighborhood on a cold, dark, rainy night.

It amazes me that so many people would jump to race, instead of examining those FACTS.

He racially profiled the kid as "suspicious" when he was doing nothing wrong.

Ummm, no. He didn't even know the color when he started following him. He even told the 911 operator he couldn't tell at first, then got a better look and told her that he was black. How could he have racially profiled someone when he didn't know the race when he started following him?

Ok, so maybe he didn't racially profile him. My bad. Now leave me alone.

I'd much rather discuss these topics with you than get involved in dumb bans and repeatedly asking you to stay on topic.

People who say there is NO racism at all in this Martin/Zimmerman case.

You implied that they posted in this forum. You're not above naming names are you? Besides, now you're trying to move from your general statement of those believing that "racism doesn't exist" to the specific of this case which is two different things. I bit dishonest eh?

Her position does seem to be that he cleverly disguised his first degree murder intentions by luring the skittle-eating, iced tea-drinking child into attacking him viciously so he could then carry out his plans of world domination.

OK, that last part got a bit out of hand.

Ok, so maybe he didn't racially profile him. My bad. Now leave me alone.

So if he didn't racially profile him how could he single him out based on race to hunt him down?
