So Zimmerman is charged with 2nd degree murder.

I didn't expect the supporters, we really are fucked.

Society as a whole is fucked, no doubt.

As far as the case if the jury is fair and not worry about the morons rioting, or their own white guilt, the dude should walk....

When is this supposed to be over?

When is this supposed to be over?

2-3 weeks probably.

The important thing is that it made perfect sense for Martin to use that word to describe a white man chasing him for no reason. Few fully understand that the tension between young black men and the police (and by extension, security guards, traffic cops and just about any sort of watchman) is the main thing keeping America from getting past race. If ten years went by without a story like the Martin case we’d be in a very different country.

From the article above. I see the racism, but it appears as though it comes from a different perspective.

Wait wait wait.... It's ok because he was only describing GZ as a creepy ass cracker, and didn't say it to his face. Yet when GZ described Martin to the 911 operator as "he's black", that is racist? He was only giving a description to the 911 operator, and didn't say it to his face. You can't have it both ways. Come on people, use some fucking common sense.

The State interjected race in the opening statement and now the State tried to rehabilitate its key witness by asking her:

"Isn't saying "cracka nigga" something your culture does?"

So, they're excusing it because it's ok to say it within one's own (black) culture. Everybody else can't say it.

"There's something powerfully real and convincing about #racheljeantel - the reluctant but crucial witness."

- Piers Morgan

I thought he'd turned a corner after one of the Obama scandals when he said something along the lines of "maybe this is the tyranny the Second Amendment supporters were talking about."

Where's the same strokefest when someone from Appalachia is unintelligible? There's not - he's a stumpfuck hillbilly speaking some sort of backwoods jargon. Or someone from cajun country? He's a coonass or a yokel or some other disparaging name and assumed to be a somewhat functional retard.

But when this girl gets up there she's suddenly a brave and misunderstood witness using her "black english."


Such bullshit. We're never going to right the ship as long as everyone keeps making excuses for other people's lack of intelligence, apathy, and general shitheadery.

Quoted for intellectual content.

Although I find that article borderline offensive and absurd... My problem with Rachel was the lying and hostility and inability to control her behavior/attitude in a court of law. Additionally she said herself that she did not take her initial questioning seriously.

As they noted this morning, the woman from Cuba who did not even speak English was easier to understand on the stand!!

[line-em-up]

WTH? Is he even listening to the testimony? She's contradicted stuff she's already said! Even DURING her testimony.

Ya...no bias there, Piers.

He was so turned on by her good looks and charm that he didn't even listen to what she had to say.
