Why white people should care about Trayvon Martin

[NOLA556]

so this pops up in my FB news feed from a painfully dumb liberal "friend of a friend"

the girl on facebook writes: "My heart breaks imagining the pain of Trayvon's family and friends...not to mention the state of our collective shadow around race... Prayers n Love to all of those mourning victims of senseless violence and bigotry", followed by this link.

your tax dollars at work:

"And I felt, as a white person, I will never - as I said in the piece - I will never look suspicious to you. I will never have to worry about a taxicab in New York City passing me by. I will never have to walk by a woman who grabs her purse as they walk by me. I will never have to pay for my food before the bill comes. And I will never have someone call 911 on me and say, he looks suspicious, no matter how baggy my jeans are, no matter how big my hoodie is, no matter how white my sneakers are.

And I felt the need, as a white American man who has been born into this nation as a privileged person, to speak up and to say that we've been quiet and we've been quiet for too long."

all these outraged citizens. all these good conscientious people who just want equality and to put an end to racial bigotry... makes you wonder where they were at when this was happening:

I usually stay away from racial topics. I'm not racist. but this Trayvon Martin story is really starting to burn my ass. All the bleeding hearts moved right from Kony2012 to Trayvon Martin.

Welcome to the politically correct bizzaro-world that is the 21st century.

But don't worry, white people are the only ones that can be racist, don't worry, hate crimes legislation can only be used against white people. 

Hate works both ways, and there is a lot of it on both sides.  I've met black people in Atlanta that are more racist than the most racist white person I have ever met.

I've also met some of the nicest black people, that treated me better than most white people, it just all depends on the person. 

There are racist black people out there.

I got news for ya.  The guy that shot him was Hispanic.  His own family confirmed that.  Hell just look at his picture.


Leave it to the MM to blame whitey for all the world's problems.


And no, I'm not racist.  I hate everyone equally.

the media keeps calling him a "white hispanic" HAAHAHAHAHAAHAH... what the fuck does that even mean? i guess hispanic didn't sit well with their agenda.

Here's the deal: Barry's team is going to dig up race to help vote him back in. This is just the start of things to come the rest of this year leading up to Nov 6th. Stay tuned.

I didn't think Hispanics could be Caucasian, by definition.   [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

When has that ever stopped the liberal media from bashing on "whitey" before?  Never.

Just take a deep breath, pray, check your mags and hope any riots will stay isolated in the usual hot-spots.

yeah what were seeing from this trayvon martin shooting is two types of supposed racism. one is the hispanic shooting the black kid. but the real interesting not suprising one is the media turning this hispanic into a "white hispanic" that was out for some black kids blood because hes an evil white man that hates all minorities. we are going down a dangerous path where america goes out of its way to put down white americans. the path we are on leads to white americans being worse off then the slaves in my opinion. in the slave days blacks were viewed as second class citizens. in this new case whites are evil beings that must be stopped. 

heres a quote from one of his family members:

?George is a Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends,? the elder Zimmerman said. ?He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever.?

yet despite the fact that he is a hispanic man the media wants him to come off as an angry white man. his picture below.



looks pretty darn hispanic to me...

now lets turn the tables.. lets say an all black male shot an all white kid... i bet we wouldnt get any national coverage of it... if anyones being discrimanted against its white americans in these times.

Now im not saying he isnt possibly guilty...but people are calling for "justice" assuming hes a murderer... lets let the courts sort out what happened before we hang the guy socially. and lets start calling a spade a spade and not twist the facts to help agendas.

Also keep your eyes peeled for a "not guilty" verdict causing shit to go down.

Supposedly someone has come forward to say that they witnessed the kid on top of Zimmerman beating on him and that the cries for help on the 911 tape were his.  So far I could see this being the truth given what little we know.  Maybe the kid saw him and came back to him, but who really knows.  I like Dave's thoughts on it.
