Looks like the media has done its job with all of you guys.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset about this.....I'm just saying there are far worse things going on that the media doesn't SENSATIONALIZE. But hey.....that's there job. That's what the 1% pay them to do.

There is more to this then just T. Martin... You gotta look at the whole picture, the justice system once again failed. The outcome sends a message that its OK to profile, stalk and shoot and kill someone based on assumptions alone.... There is a lot that needs to be fixed, 1 small example is the 6 jury system in the six states that allow it for felony cases, I also like to see it divided evenly by gender or race.

So when the system fails us time and time again its important for the people to stand up and be vocal especially when given the opportunity in such events. This is just as important as anything you have listed there, you also gotta remember there is a lot more then Alex Jones and similar alternative media outlets.. You must mix your media source and filter out the BS, be it the mainstream media, alternative media, the web, books ect...

I for one fight the fight every day and its second nature to me, there is no need to be angry about anyone of the things on your list.. It's best to learn and educate as much about each issue and avoid being stuck in the box and break the routine. But when such events occur, be it the topic in discussion, civil rights issues, 9/11 truth protests , Bilderberg events, federal marijuana prohibition/cannabis reform rallies, ect.. Its best to get involved in any way possible.. You got the right idea Celtic...
Peace!

I think I need to go back and read thru this thread!

And the question is asked .......What is it that's so scary/menacing about black people? Why all the fear? Be honest, I really wanna hear from some other races about that. If it's the issue of violence then i believe the pot maybe calling the kettle black! Whites, Orientals, Arabs and Blacks all have good and bad spots, I'm not proud of alot of things associated with my race but I'm willing to guess you guys aren't proud of some things your races do either!

For the peeps bringing up OJ ...L.I.G it ...let it go! I remember how you felt too, the justice system failed Nicole just like it did Trayvon!

Racism is part of the 1%'s propaganda .......divided we fall! Can't raise up and fight the true oppressor when we're too busy fighting each other over some dumb shit like the color of our skin ......and we laugh at the gangs that fight over color(s) lol

The violent crime stats are kinda scary/menacing.
Regardless of the socioeconomic blubbering about why things are they way they are. one must first come to terms reality.

I don't see this as A fear of "black people" Zimmerman was asked by police dispatch the Ethnicity of the individual, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian is not Racial Profiling it is A description by ethnicity, nothing more nothing less. Like it or not we all look different and this is one of the most basic descriptions that describe us, Hell, It's on your Driver License and birth certificate. Media spun that like A Top. Major Network News Casters were Fired for Altering Tapes to Fit the Black / White Racist Story. "Black" people were robbing the neighbor hood... this is A Fact. It is in Multiple Police Reports, Fit the description right? Black guy moving somewhat erratically through the neighbor hood trying to avoid Zimmerman? Who Knows... Maybe I (Zimmerman) should follow and see where he goes til the cops get here... Mistake, maybe, crime, No... Racial profiling, Big Leap. Possible burglars returning to the neighbor hood on A Dark, Rainy Night, Perhaps from Zimmermans view point @ the time... Tragic

I am by No Means an Attorney but the statements above are all the more it takes... Reasonable Doubt as opposed to...

Under second-degree murder, the jury must find that a death was caused by a criminal act “demonstrating a depraved mind without regard for human life,”

Big Leap with "Zero" proof

Now it sounds like you are twisting the story to fit your agenda. Since when does a violent assault = minding your own business? And it was never said that Z-man "pulled a gun"on him, the gun came into play once he was getting his head smashed on the sidewalk and he probably feared he would lose consciousness, also Martin was trying to get the gun when he saw it and would have shot Z had he snagged the gun without a doubt.

Honastly Im not that humble but just so you don't get your feathers all ruffled. :)

This isn't a race issue, or even a gun control issue. It's a WTF is wrong with people issue. The hole thing, both sides are a bunch of shity people justifieing shity ass behavior. They both made poor desions and both suffered the consequences of those desions. This should be looked at, like this. This is what happens when you act like a fucking doushe bag.

Both of them were a couple of fucktards, so fuck them both. Now you might say fucktard X instigated fucktard Y. But it doesn't matter, they both were fucktarted, and weather which fucktarted instigated or escalated the situation is irrelevant.

I can promise you this though, if one of them wasnt a fucktard this shit would not have happend.

Ill give you a metafor.

What's wrong can not be right, and what's right can not be wrong. If two people are walking on opposite sides of the road, each ones right is left and left is right and vice versa. Only the one who walks in the middle sees things as the really are.

My cousin (black) did a six year bid in a federal prison because another criminal said he was involved in something .....not one piece of evidence against him .........6 years?!!!

We have to face it, being born a black man in this country/world is f'ed up ....before, during, and after this trial. I had to learn to let things go myself cause that shit will kill you. I really don't think black people are making it up or whining when we're saying we are treated differently!!

When I was 5 years old ('78) I was walking home from school one day by myself, this side of town was still predominately white back then ....the parents were letting their children call me a nigger, throw rocks, and spit cheetos at me ..........yeah a 5 year old black kid had to go thru that! Racism has to be taught, I've watched babies of all colors playing together peacefully ........they weren't excommunicating the other babies who weren't the same race as them. So many real issues to tackle and we still on racism ...WOW!

It's becouse the same shit that happend to you as a kid, walking through the white neiborbood happend to the white kid that was walking through the black neiborbood. That's why. Maybe not exactly the same, but the same. Black folks and white folks arnt that much differant on so many levals.

Like we're I live now, I see a black person Im like WOW look there's a black person. But I have also been that white guy. So I think people need to venture out, go we're you don't belong, and be generous, curtious, open, excepting, freindly, loveing, confident, and generally good. The. Shit would be fine.

And yea can't get all mad if some one looks at you crazy and or says some wild ass shit. There just curious.
It's really fun to see people interact with people they don't normally interact with to.

So get out and get around and make freinds. That's the only way to solve these issues. That's black and white people. Becouse if you don't have black friends or white friends that you generally vibe with, you have no fucking clue what your missing. :)


O and
PS WARNING. Since this is a weed forum. Don't go slanging in other neiborboods. Black or white. If you don't have previous experience. Just stick with what you do and what you know. I'm talking just freindly shit, were you smoke down shoot the shit hang out and make friends and fuck bitchs. Don't go trying to make money some were were you don't know the rules.

THIS is what pisses ME off (not to mention that due to his surname, apparently Zimmerman is now white..?)



In the meantime, no one here was on that jury and heard all testimony. By expecting violence associated with the protests, because apparently now in this country we can protest our way beyond the law, we're stereotyping.

Just curious any black folks on here??? I find it interesting to meet folks of all colors, just to see what's up. skin color should not matter but really folks it is the 1st thing one notices . it really don't matter as I decide what a persons like after getting to know them not by how they look.
Met the nicest black fella fishing one day. just went up and said hey. See him lots on the river and always say hello.
One time brought 2 black friends into the local bar/fly shop. Those guys are totally racist. My friends are so beyond that sort of ignorance they laugh at folks like that.
We walked in and it became silent, the looks could kill. my friend asked if this was where the KKK meeting was were here for the lynching, ordered a whiskey and after a few minutes they were all laughing and carrying on.

For ME, it's not the color, it's the sex and age. From my (middle-aged female, Hispanic) perspective, young men are dangerous. Their bodies are raging with testosterone, they pull stupid shit, they have this need to prove themselves, and did I mention all that testosterone raging through their bodies?

When my oldest boy hit high school he became a pretty hard partier. He brought any and everyone home with him, a lot of them very... unsavory characters. I had some very frightening moments confronting them about the hard alcohol they'd brought onto the property, as well as at least one attempted break-in through my bedroom window. One of his friends came into the house completely piss drunk one night, found his way into my bedroom and proceeded to try to sweet-talk me into 'just' kissing him. <shudder> Still grosses me out thinking about it, a kid my SON's age. Ew.

In any event, I think that from those womens' perspective, this was more about young men than anything else. Men are the most dangerous creatures on the planet.

Edit* I'm going to go on a bit of a ramble about my experiences with blacks in different areas of the country. I still remember very clearly my life as a young child in Shreveport. I was a half-Puerto Rican girl who was often mistaken for... I'll use the term mulatto, but the term used by whites towards me was not nice and used the term "yellow." Those of you who know, know. I was refused entrance to more than a few gas station bathrooms for being a little 'high y____w' until my mother would pull down my shorts or bathing suit to show them my ass was white.

The black children and families down there were very kind to me, I felt comfortable, safe and at home with them. The white kids (and adults)? Oh my God was I picked on!

Then we moved to southern California. I still remember the moment I saw a group of black kids at a local mall, and I ran to them thinking that they would automatically want to be *my* friend as much as I wanted to be theirs. Oh my God, the way they cursed me! I was shocked, saddened, horrified, and confused. Who would be my friend? Not the white kids, I'd already learned that. And if not the black kids, then who?

The point is that the locale seems to make a huge difference in peoples' reactions. Out here being black is a novelty, the TWO black kids who attended my son's high school practically had superstar status, everyone wanted to be around them, know what they were doing, all of it. Don't be Mexican around here, though, or you become "one of those people."

Get my drift?

I have heard many say Zimmerman should have stayed in his ride (to prevent the whole thing) but following someone that seems suspicious is not A crime (TVM keeps walking, Zimmerman keeps following but doesn't engage, TVM walks into home residence and tells family / friends he's being followed) From another alternative point of view, Are the people in Florida so fearful / uncaring of their neighbor that if T.V.M. called 911 on his cell (Instant G.P.S. Location within 30 Meters or so) instead of chatting with the girl, and dropped his hoodie and knocked on A door with the lights on inside, of which there were many or yelled and asked for help with / from A stranger (Zimmerman) with 911 on the phone instead of confronting Zimmerman could the outcome have been altered by that alone? T.V.M's actions didn't seem to be that of A helpless teenage boy with skittles and ice tea that was paralyzed by fear. Sometimes actions predetermine the likely hood of an end result... (confrontation takes 2 to tango) Food for thought

Civil rights really started for blacks in 1964, so let's be real it probably took 2o years or more to really kick in! The 90's things started getting better then the Rodney King beating opened up alot of old wounds .....yeah it could of been handled better but when you're up against the ropes you either get beat down or fight back!

Racism is just one of the tools in this system of control. I watch these zombie movies and that's what I see ......alot of people walking around mindless and ready to eat off another human being, just like in the Living Dead! Until people are held accountable for their actions instead of their color we're not going

I just finished reading a very interesting article, interview with one of the jurors. The impression I'm left with is that they did their best, and voted as they did within the confines of the law. I don't like a jury of 6, 12 is where it's at.

an all female jury is absurd as well...Zimmermans peers would have included at least 1 male and one non-whitey, imo
