memed “So while you are seeking justice for Trayvon, please remember to seek justice for me too. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee shirts with my face on them and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon.”
Glad you agree that what happened to Trayvon Martin was an injustice.
Meanwhile, this is what Snopes has to say about your spam-email:Mixture of truth and falsehoods
“The comparisons in the example text between the killings of Trayvon Martin and Antonio West are an example of false equivalency, however, as the two cases are neary polar opposites.”
Although not considered to be racially motivated, how can something this evil not be considered a “hate crime”. Why did this case not receive at least as much mainstream media coverage as the Trayvon Martin case?
President Obama accurately stated what it is still like in many areas to be walking or driving while either black or brown in this country. Ask a 15th generation “American” of Mexican decent in Phoenix, or a black man in many big cities, or even small communities in America, especially “middle America”.
I’m a white guy with black and brown friends over the years, who did indeed see prejudice. I also support equal opportunity, but have seen many “bad things” happen under a very badly managed “affirmative action” mentality.(Women, and racial groups where incompetence hasn’t been a barrier.) The point is, with true equality, well, we CAN do a lot better!
As, again Zimmerman, some of the stories are really weird as his own BROTHER right after the story hit declared that at best, his brother George “didn’t like” (understatement) “black people”. HIs history of calls to police supports this, as all his calls were “suspicious types”, that weren’t HIS type!

Good post. But too bad it’ll go over the heads of the race baiters.

Why are you comparing a hate crime with a robbery?

“Where was the “hate crime?” Certainly not the incident in Sanford, FL.”-You want evidence of a “hate crime”?

Barry’s comments just empowered the thugs using race as an excuse to terrorize people and property in cities across America.
