The only thing racist about this whole thing is the black communities response to this. Not the entire black community of course, but it seems like the majority.
Sup Stormy. How’s the CPA treating you these days? Did you ever pay back that $2k you wrongfully took from your employer? And any more luck with escorts when you use your most white sounding voice upon calling?
You’re free to take that chance. I suggest you do it in a pansy blue state though, white folks in red states are armed to the teeth and would probably gun your ass down before you got within 20 feet.
I’m smarter than that. I would go after an easy target. You know, a 17 yo white kid on cell phone with his girl and skittles in his pocket.
Edit for disclaimer* I am in no way shape or form associated with the black community or black panther movement. I am also not a rasict. I’m pretty upset though.
^^ Good luck with that then. Try to pick a particularly creepy ass cracker (note to AF boardmembers: creepy ass cracker is not considered a racist term per Rachel Jeantel).
Fear not my angry African-American friends. The feds can’t let a Latino off the hook, so they are now going after Mr. Zimmerman:
“Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction, and whether federal prosecution is appropriate in accordance with the Department’s policy governing successive federal prosecution following a state trial,” the DOJ said in a statement to Politico.
You guys are so stupid. We all know this whole case was a farce from day 1. It was nothing but another ploy by Obama and his cronies to divert attention from the entire Benghazi fiasco. Can’t believe all of you fell for it…
I doubt the Feds ultimately pursue it. They only take cases they can win and this would be a huge uphill battle. I think this is just lip service until the unrest dies down.
BTW, what’s it say about the black community when something doesn’t go their way and everyone is afraid they’ll start rioting? Not exactly the best PR for your race.
“creep ass cracker” deserves some lengthy discussion. This really solidifies my belief that TM was not the aggressor. Think about it. He could have said " this punk white boy is following me". Which is more in line with someone being confident about them self and willing to be confrontational. But he used creepy ass cracker. People tend to stay away from creepy things especially when it’s dark and you are alone and unarmed. This explains why TM was trying to lose Killerman. Compare that to Killerman who said that “these punks always get away with it” while on phone with dispatcher . Who sounds like the aggressor? Besides no matter who you are, you are more confident to confront someone alone in the the dark when you have 9mm semi automatic in your hip than someone with skittles in their pocket.
Well, there is still the wrongful death civil suit to come (surely). That has a much lower burden of proof than the criminal case. One can only hope that Zimmerman faces some real consequences there, since it is horrific to think that looking suspicious in a hoodie is enough to give a vigilante license to kill with impunity
And yeah, Zimmerman is part Latino, but that’s kinda irrelevant, given that he’s a light skinned Latino that can pretty much pass as white (though not quite pink enough for some people). The Latino community has light skinned and dark skinned Latinos, and the dark skinned ones generally get a raw deal compared to the light skinned ones who for all practical purposes are considered white as long as they have some money and don’t have a strong accent.
^I’ll agree–Zimmerman is more white than brown, both in skin color and upbringing.
If this had been a black-on-black thing or white-on-white thing, it wouldn’t have made even the local news. But because a white person shot a black person (regardless of the reasons why), the twins (Reverend Al and Reverend JJ) have to get involved.
And of course, they are the sole spokespersons for the entire black community.
bchad, do you have any idea what the consequences of such a suit would be? In the OJ Simpson case, he was rich already. So the wrong death suit had some meaning (something to take). It’s not like George Zimmerman has much money. I would guess he spent all the money he had on the criminal suit.
^ OJ was bankrupt after paying Johnnie Cochran $1k/hr for all of the legal fees. His pension was protected so the wrongful death suit really didn’t amount to much. I think his book “If I did it” revenue helped pay back some restitution.
