Only in Obamas America can a brown man kill a black man and blame it on a white man.

“When Reverend King and his men needed coffee, sandwiches and donuts, they sent Jesse”

Even if so, they also serve who only serve

When Reverend King and his men needed coffee, sandwiches and donuts, they sent Jesse. That is the only real job he has ever had. Unless shaking down Coca Cola is considered a job.

I stand by my comment that the media has stirred this issue up and increased racial tensions. The media on all channels has been (and probably will continue) to be biased in one direction or another but they always repeat over and over whatever they think the message should be. Maybe we need to stick to the facts and not the opinions. If you look into this you will find that George Zimmerman is, in fact, hispanic. Travon Martin can be 5′11″ or 6′, but he is not a tiny 14 year old. I am not saying anything bad about either one, and I am sorry for both families, as this is something that should not have happened.

@hu & B.B., you havent a clue, Trayvon would be alive if he wouldn’t have attacked George. That is the real truth, I can follow you anywhere i want as long as i don’t trespass or violate a court order, but you can’t attack me for following you. That’s the reason George was aquitted, because he was within the law, The young man thought he was going to whoop up on a defenseless white man. Thats why he said to George ” you got me” when george shot him, he was surprised by his victims ability to defend himself. Trayvon made a fatal mistake. you can’t attack people without penalties and now both will pay, George is more a target now than ever before. Just sad. Thug life has 2 endings prison and death, no matter what race you are

Fact of the matter is, is that the MEDIA as they usually do chose to report only what they wanted the public to hear, which fueled the race card frenzy…this along with obama turning the death of Trayvon into a political agenda and pressuring law enforcement, further fuels the fire…

REGARDING:
“had mark zuckerberg, the founder of facebook, who is known for wearing hoodies, had been in martins shoes, zimmermzn never would have profiled him,”

And you know this because you simply know it?

All we know from the only living witness to the event was that the clothing was described when he was asked for a physical description. In fact, from the transcript, Z wasn’t sure of the race of the child he saw wandering around in the rain. He may not have even known he was a tiny child:

“Z: – - – there’s a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.

Dispatcher: Did you see what he was wearing?

Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He’s [unintelligible], he was just staring…

Dispatcher: OK, he’s just walking around the area…

Zimmerman: …looking at all the houses.”

Now, we can be prejudiced and decide he was targeting the child for race and clothing, but it isn’t in the transcript, so we aren’t getting it from him.

Brother Jesse is just mad he didn’t get the lynching of the Latino he wanted because he KNOWS it MUST have been murder.

David for less prejudice
fewer lynchings

To WM; I really didn’t want to give you the satisfaction of commenting on your sad sad statement, (but welfare eating “breeders”) I hope you are not feeding this crap to young people. So sad, you are speaking something that is not truth. My question is why would you speak on something you know nothing of? I hope that hatred you have within does not spill into no one else, because you seriously have issues.
