When people mention the race of the jurors in such a way as to indicate it compromised the trial, I regard the comment as purely racist (against white people) and just as grotesque as saying the n word in anger and spite.

White people do its racist black people do its fine.

^^^ No that is so hypocritical and stupid of a black person to say I wish there was a like function to like David post...

Many people in the community like to just lay back and pretend the whole world is against them and play them victim while others in thier own community march ahead and excel.


"You and your racist posts are exactly the kind of thought process the jury went through. And I am still AMAZED there were no black people on that jury."

Why would there be a black person on a jury when there are only 6 jurors in a town that is 90% white?

Your telling me if there was an all black jury and they found Zimmerman guilty race had no basis then?

Just give it a rest guys.

This case is a piss off it has set back race relations for years imo...

Police officers, security guards, or self-appointed vigilantes extrajudicially killed at least 313 African-Americans in 2012 according to a recent study. This means a black person was killed by a security officer every 28 hours. The report notes that it's possible that the real number could be much higher.

The report, entitled "Operation Ghetto Storm", was performed by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, an antiracist grassroots activist organization. The organization has chapters in Atlanta, Detroit, Fort Worth-Dallas, Jackson, New Orleans, New York City, Oakland, and Washington, D.C. It has a history of organizing campaigns against police brutality and state repression in black and brown communities. Their study's sources included police and media reports along with other publicly available information. Last year, the organization published a similar study showing that a black person is killed by security forces every 36 hours. However, this study did not tell the whole story, as it only looked at shootings from January to June 2012. Their latest study is an update of this.

These killings come on top of other forms of oppression black people face. Mass incarceration ofnonwhites is one of them. While African-Americans constitute 13.1% of the nation's population, they make up nearly 40% of the prison population. Even though African-Americans use or sell drugs about the same rate as whites, they are 2.8 to 5.5 times more likely to be arrested for drugs than whites. Black offenders also receive longer sentences compared to whites. Most offenders are in prison for nonviolent drug offenses.

"Operation Ghetto Storm" explains why such killings occur so often. Current practices of institutional racism have roots in the enslavement of black Africans, whose labor was exploited to build the American capitalist economy, and the genocide of Native Americans. The report points out that in order to maintain the systems of racism, colonialism, and capitalist exploitation, the United States maintains a network of "repressive enforcement structures". These structures include the police, FBI, Homeland Security, CIA, Secret Service, prisons, and private security companies, along with mass surveillance and mass incarceration.

You're an idiot if you think for one second that 1) racism can actually happen against white people in a country where white people control the media, justice system, law enforcement, resources, money, politics, etc, 2) suggesting a jury full of white women being unable to understand race issues that permeate this case because they are white is in any way equal to the systematic dehumanization and oppression throughout centuries (that continues until today) that the word "nigger" represents.

As for "nigger," I believe it represents first and foremost a bastardization of the Spanish word negro. You are welcome to your purple-prose interpretation, though, and it may indeed ring true.

No, ignorant racists like you perpetuate racism and white supremacy. And also the fact that black people can be murdered and their killers walk away and are declared not guilty.

What you just said is really racist.

That's like saying "Why is there no WHITE history month?!" Or "Why isn't there a WHITE Entertainment Television?!"

How much of a role do YOU think it played then, David?

A mess, what the actual fuck? You seriously don't know what that word means? I can't argue with these people anymore.

Listen up, motherfucker. I am living in America. I know damn well what the word "means" and its history, and I find it as complicated and repulsive as the next sane person, but I am also repulsed by the anti-white racism (read it again, anti-white racism) at play when people say the racial identity of the jury compromised the case.

I am brown and I am accused of being a white supremacist.

Re: Magnus



Zimmerman feared for his life because Trayvon was black. What this trial means is that it's legal to murder a black person because you're afraid they will hurt you simply because they are black, which is something that has been happening for decades and decades. Every 28 hours a black male is murdered by police or vigilantes like Zimmerman and their killer is acquitted because they claim self-defense. Even reaching into your pocket is enough to justify shooting someone dead if they are black.

No, ignorant racists like you perpetuate racism and white supremacy. And also the fact that black people can be murdered and their killers walk away and are declared not guilty.

There is no such thing as anti-white racism in the US, because as I explained before, non-whites do not have the power to oppress others there. As a white person you cannot be oppressed because of the colour of your skin, and racism implies institutionalized oppression...

Watching black people riot the last 2 nights including acting innocents bystanders, breaking property and even acting police makes me question the brains of many black people.

Even Martin, why didn't he go into the house when he had a lead and the time to do so or even call the cops from his cell phone. Either not very smart or he was hiding something or he decided he wanted to beat up the guy following him.

A mistake which ended up costing Martin his life.

even though white supremacy is not extended to you and as a brown person you have a chance of being victim to the same injustice that was visited upon Trayvon.

You have a point however that does not give me the excuse to give up all hope and play the victim and blame my lifes problems all on white people.

Listen up, motherfucker.
