As a ‘‘pure’’ black myself, I scored even lower than you, brotha. Didn’t stop me getting my Masters in Sport and Science as well as a Business Administration diploma and, erm… wait for this, wait… wait (yes, I love to brag about this :p) making millions selling my very first online business.
As people from an inferior, brainless race, we’re doing pretty well, aren’t we?

That’s easy - all the other Africans stole them. Cartjacking was a serious problem back then and exclusively a black-on-black crime before the arrival of European colonists. True story.
…and he wasn’t arrested? After chasing down a kid on his phone who clearly asked who He was.
The real problem is the fact that people felt the need to defend whether he was a racist for no reason when all signs pointed to YES. Whether he claims he is one or not, he hunted and killed a kid for his skin color.

You don’t get much more racist than that.[/quote]
Exactly.
Oh, and in light of this new info, plus the Justice Dept and FBI taking over the case, Zimmerman doesn’t look so good at this point. I’m optimistic that an arrest will soon follow and the investigation begin.
You know what the really sad part is? All this guy had to was either A: leave the kid alone and wait for the cops to arrive. Or B: say “I’m the neighborhood watch captain. I haven’t seen you around before, do you live in this neighborhood?” and the kid would probably still be alive.[/quote]
That would be hard to do when “black guy walking” equals “criminal stealing houses…or whatever”. He clearly had no choice…because the kid was sagging his pants…and that means GUN!!

I was merely making decisions based on the evidence at hand. At the time there wasn’t enough to go on for me to make a call on that and that was the only point I was trying to make.I tend to require a pretty large amount of real evidence before coming to conclusions, that comes with my job. Now enough evidence exists to support that conclusion.
Gee, so let me get this straight…a style that has been here since the early 90’s STILL has a purely negative connotation to anyone in the country?
How is that possible?[/quote]
The guys (and gals) that dress like that cannot be all that threatening. There is no way to run in saggy pants. It’s a short sprint to safety. [/quote]
Which is why the “fear” is so ridiculous. No one on the track team is doing this at a meet.
It is a style no different than some guy wearing pants so skinny his nuts atrophy…only no one is afraid of the guy with squashed nutz.

Well, my point is, it seems to be that whenever this topic comes up, the level of “evidence” needed for someone who is not a minority to agree on racism is almost fantasy. This case will get attention because it is clear we still have some issues in this country and the “let it go, racism is dead” crowd needs to speak softer or perhaps not at all.

Absolutely!!! If this was reveresed, a black man shooting a white kid, the black man would have already been in a jail cell. 100%.

Not that it matters, but the shooter is Hispanic, not “white” as in “anglo.”

[/quote]It originated from prison as far as I know. Prisoners weren’t allowed to have belts or rope because it could be used to commit suicide, so their pants would sag.

Hispanic, Asian, Martian… who cares. Zimmerman racially profiled the kid.

LOL at the defense mechanism.
There are people in this thread more worried about whether he is white than why the black kid is dead.

I’m Mescalero Apache, born and raised on the reservation, dumbass.
Closer to Hispanic than white. Certainly brown-skinned.
You are far too wound up to have a real discussion about this. Take a breather. I’m not trying to attack you and I’m not trying to say that you, personally, are limited by the tendencies of your race.
I’m not the mindless bigot you think I am and I will hear you out if you have legitimate criticism of the information I’m presenting. [/quote]
Far too wound up? ROFL!! Knowing how vile I can be, had I been angry, my first replies to your crapola would have been totally different. I kept it civil. I laughed so hard at the level of ignorance in your garbage that people around me looked at me as if I was some kind of crazy woman. What was even more farcical was that you don’t even live in America and that you’re not even an American. Probably live in a country with a low rate of minority too.
I asked you for proof that rich black peeps are as violent and criminal as the poor black people since you refuted the socio-economic factors and place the blame on the race, the ‘‘Black gene’’. LMFAO!! Damn, man!
Honestly, I don’t need to have a discussion with someone with KKK tendecies. Free yourself from the sheltered existence you seem to have and spend more time with blacks or other cultures instead on relying on ‘‘stats’’ to judge a whole race.
No wonder why with people condoning such thoughts/beliefs/ ideas/ stereotypes like yours, we end up having innocent black kids dead, with a bag of skittles and ice tea in their pockets.

I’m not American… therefore?
For the record, I’m a minority in wherever it is I live.
Did I not give you this link before? Maybe it was X, but here you go:
The crime trend remains after controlling for income , education, ect.

I’m 4/1876ths Apache also.
We have covered his race about 500 times in this thread.
