There was racism in the GZ case. It was just never from the two people involved in the actual shooting. And the only reason the Zimmerman situation became a national is because an underage black kid was killed and the shooter wasn't charged. It hit too close to home to southern black people from the 50's and 60's. This situation is different because the perpetrators here no one is doubting for a second they will be pursued, charged, and very likely convicted, as they should be.
"Creepy ass Cracka" is absolutely racist. It showed trayvon's racist mindset before his brutal and unjustified attack on an innocent upstanding citizen.
Zimmmerman was not charged ONLY because there was
no evidence of a crime.
I wish some of you progressives would learn just a little bit about how our upstanding justice system works. It (should) take more than a simple accusation to get someone arrested and charged with a crime, to prevent lynch mob type situations JUST like what happened to zimmerman.
And please, take your 50 year old poor me I'm held back due to racism whining somewhere else.
Society has moved on, nobody is getting sprayed with hoses and forced to drink out of different fountains.
Companies have been forced to prove for years and years that hiring and everything else is not in ANY way based on race. Everybody from little kids to business owners are WELL past judging people based on skin color. Yes, there are old people diehard racists (on both sides!) and yes, a small percentage of society is going to be racist no matter what (on both sides!).
But we are at a point where 'mainstream racism' is gone. It's not accepted. Everyone else has figured this out and moved on except for sharpton and his crew, and the extremely vocal race brigaiders like the 4-5 in ATPN.
Interstingly enough just about EVERY situation you all blow out of proportion turns out to have not a thing to do with race.
Ironically it seems like the vast majority of our racist violent crimes are actually black on white hate crimes.
