I think you missed the snark.

The one-drop rule would mean that the Martin/Zimmerman confrontation was black and black crime, and therefore shouldn't have ever been a racial.

Unfortunately the left wing outrage mob made it all about racism.

No, the right made it racist by continually arguing that Martin must have been a trespassing criminal thug even though he was a resident in the complex and had no criminal record.

edit: IOW, the wannabe cop never had any probable cause.

What happened to you since you were last hanging around here? Did a Bush touch you?

If you honestly believe the racism angle of that circus was the sole product of the right, there's no helping you.

Because if some strange guy was chasing you through your own neighborhood on a dark night, you'd just stop and offer him a smoke?

Nothing has happened to me. In the meantime, simple logic says that the RWN's are either racist, or they want to push this 'comply or die' authoritarian bullshit on everyone. I haven't figured that out yet, but either way, I'm against it.

He wasn't a resident there and it wasn't his "own neighborhood".

Also, because of his age it cannot be said that he had no criminal record. And we do know that he had some 'contact' with L.E.

He was staying long term with his father, who was a resident.

My point remains that Zimmerman had no cause to stop Martin, and neither was Martin under any obligation to obey any command that Zimmerman may have given him. That some people continue to believe otherwise is either ignorant, racist, or authoritarian. You choose.

Literally how are we still debating the facts of the Zimmerman / Martin case? Literally what does it have to do with someone's "lived experience" as a black man? Is it not a requirement for everyone to take a basic psychology or sociology course in school? Do we not remember the Thomas theorem?

Someone told me the other day that global warming is an attack on capitalism because some some non-scientist left wing blogger posted something to that effect.
Another person told me that evolution is bunk because Darwin recanted and accepted Christ on his deathbed.
I've also heard that the ideals behind MLK's 'I have a dream' speech have no meaning because (so they said) MLK was a womanizer.
I'm sure you agree with all that.

Personally, I'm never going to eat at Subway again because of Jared.

He bears pretty much zero resemblance to this guy, so I'd say it looks like you all unearthed an old family scandal. Good job.

I wonder if anyone will address this.

Breitbart strikes again, duping people as usual.

So you agree that a world of different perceptions would lead to different consequences?

And (if we're resorting to insults), you're an idiot and what I'm posting is going right over your head.
An idea isn't wrong just because you can smear the person who presented it to you.
Likewise (to acknowledge Geosurface), the perception that certain persons (or groups of persons) are of lower status does not mean that the consequences of their lower status are just or proper.

What's with all the white people wanting to be black? http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/20/us/shaun-king-controversy/index.html

Come on people, the most you can be is "tanned". But I guess tanned is not a race...

Some group is offering a big sum of money if he can prove he's black. Don't ask me exactly what the parameters are of proving that one is black, but probably a DNA test to show that the guy listed on his birth certificate is not is father would be fairly easy to do.

Sounds like a good opportunity for this guy -- vindicate himself and make a good chunk of change doing it. Or, if the test shows the guy to be his father, be exposed as Dolezal 2.0.

I guess if you grow up as a white kid in the burbs, you gotta make up your own struggle.

I'm not entirely convinced the guy is actually white. His father might be listed on his birth certificate, but that doesn't mean he's actually his biological father.

We'll see how this unfolds, but it sure seems like another race faker / liar like Derezal or whatever her name was.

WTF? How could anyone seriously even utter that with a straight face? You think the Treyvon Martin case became a racial issue because of "the right"? o_O
So are you trying to say that if Martin had been white that the response from the right would have been the same?
That's pretty laughable IMO.

Can white people not think Black Lives Matter and lead protests toward that cause? Can men not champion women's rights?
