I think people need to have friends from many ethnic group if possible. It will open your mind to viewing racism as the human created retarded outdated system that it is. Do animals discriminate against animals of the same species that are a different colour no. I think Zimmerman comes across as an eccentric pussy who wanted to prove his man hood, he tried doing so by killing an innocent child. That is morally wrong and it’s a shame there are laws that allowed for a guy in the wrong to shoot a child. He is a coward. I don’t think he is particularly racist even though I don’t know him personally, just seems like an idiot.

Not true. Again, I not only recorded the trial to watch after work but there are pictures online also. There is a paved sidewalk that runs down the middle of entire backside of the townhomes. Check for yourself. [/quote]
Didn’t Martin emerge from in between the sides of two homes?[/quote]
Not sure how. Look at pic. There’s no cracks between those cookie cutter townhomes. If they were single family homes with some land in between, I guess he could “emerge” from between. [/quote]
I’m not familiar with that neighborhood but unless it’s a condo complex (is it?) there would be a small gap between residences.
Usually it’s quite small (less than 5 feet) and basically exists just so that the homes do not have any shared walls.
I think an actual photo would better represent the neighborhood.
Maybe they are actually touching each other though?
I dont know.

That’s because the actual picture is a picture of the T-intersection. Not of the perimeter residences.

From the map you posted he did not emerge from an area that was not sidewalk.

Whenever I see someone on the street, before I make any judgements based on their appearance I have to smell them to see if they showered, check to see if their nails were cut, have them open their mouth so I can I spect for plaque build up/cavities/smelly breath and HOPEFULLY see if they are wearing a fresh set of underwear.
Then and only then will I make an assumption on the type of person they are.

Cute…or I can tell from a mile off if they washed the shirt they are wearing or take care of themselves with regards to how they look.
You see, “saggy pants” do not go hand in hand with poor hygiene in my city.
I can also tel if someone has bathed in the last week or washed their clothes without standing one foot away from them.[/quote]
You must have amazing eyesight if you can tell if a shirt is freshly washed or not from a mile away.
That is impressive.
What was the point the using the cologne and nice cars at the night club?
Just look again.
NW perimeter.

I’m not saying it’s right. I’m saying that people do it. We can all act like we don’t but it’s nature to think twice about interaction with some people based on the way look.
As an example. I was out with a girlfriend and someone came into the establishment we were in wearing punk rock attire and a mohawk. She happens to be the least judgemental person I’ve ever met and she was visibly (to me) concerned that he may not have been a “good person”. I don’t think her concern was justified but she was concerned regardless. We had a long conversation about it. I believe people are people but we all are capable of seeing something that puts us off about another person.

If it really needs further explanation, then you clearly won’t ever get it.
Continue thinking your view point is as righteous as it is.
LOl at “freshly washed”.
I don’t have enough crayons for this.
And again. The NW perimeter corner on the full shot image. Not the T-intersection, which is relevant later.

Oh wow. Fucking awesome. So it’s the black community’s own fault that TM Martin was killed and that his killer walked. Lol. And, I don’t trust a white man who puts up statistics to make a point, as if it is the absolute truth and represent the whole picture. Fuck that.
- Martin was a drop out? Shit. That’s news to me. So because he was a ‘‘drop out’’, he deserved to be killed. I guess the black boy who stays out of trouble at school, is less likely to be killed by some nut cunt, who thinks he’s up to no good? Yeah? The colour of his skin is not a big deal, I guess. He’s shielded because he’s a good kid, with good grades and a scholarship, after all. No way on earth, an asshole will ever profile him.
I mean, shit, I know a lot of rich, wealthy black men, dressed in 1000 bucks suits and driving Bentleys or sport cars, who still get stopped by police for no reason whatsoever. You think a kid with the education and mannerism of Carlton Banks, will escape the faith of Trayvon Martin? LOL. All the black boys Zimcunt harassed in that neighbourhood were not wearing hoods, or dressed like thugs after all. The six year old wasn’t dressed like a thug too. But he was ‘‘up to no good’’ in the hood, 'cos the racist fat fuck said so.
- How many black boys do you know are wannabe gangtas? So the gangsta culture is what caused Martin’s death, uh? So, now, in order to save the black youth from getting killed by some racist fucktard, we have to tell black youth to stop wearing hoodies(things white kids wear too but somehow, never make their white peers ‘‘fear’’ for their life), stop smoking weed, fight and flipping the fingers at the webcam (yeah, 'cos the white kids don’t do that shit in their teens too).
Yeah, this case wasn’t racial from the start. I hear ya.
- Authority? You gotta be kidding me. Here I thought, that at 17, most teens cannot stand authority, black or white teens alike. Here I thought, at 17, most teenagers are a pain in the ass, and don’t want Mom, Dad or whoeever to tell them what the fuck to do. But what is fucking awesome with your points is that you are insinuating that Zimmerpig was an authority. A fucking watchman is an authority now? LOL. A self appointed watchman who was hardly known by his own community. LOL. Fuck me!
I guess in the future, I’ll have to tell my sons and nephews and, even my daughters and nieces that, if they walk down the street in a MIDDLE class neighbourhood, and are followed by some creepy twat at night who later manages to catch up with them, the kids MUST bow down and smile, and say, '‘hello Massa, yes Massa, please don’t follow me Massa, please don’t shoot me, Massa.’ Yeah right. Authority??? My fucking ass. If you are a creepy motherfucker following me in the night, and you never made yourself known as the fucking police before accosting me, I will fucking RIP your motherfucking balls and ram them down your fucking throat, motherfucker. Who the fuck are you, following me, bitch?
Funny how all the Zim supporters were saying, ‘‘oh, all Trayvon had to do was to stop and be nice and courteous to the stranger in the night,’’. I bet they never advise that kinda shit to their own kid. What is it mother tell her children, ‘‘do not speak to strangers.’’
Trayvon is dead because the fat bastard didn’t stay in his fucking car. Trayvon didn’t die because he was a ‘‘drop out’’, a ‘‘thug’’ and disrespected ‘‘authority’’.

Some will and some won’t…and some will track down and kill black teenagers because of the stereotype…which is the big problem here.

Jesus…then I would not get along with your girl friend.
I tend to get along great with people like that. The more tats and leather, the more likely the connection.
Maybe it is a motorcycle thing.

Looks like the path they drew corresponds with being all sidewalk to me, although the one section looks like it is intermittent. Could just be an optical illusion due to camera angles though. At no point does the path that is laid out come from between two close buildings as far as I can see.
Edit: my bad I see what you are saying. Totally missed that.

She was fine after we talked. It was something out of the ordinary for her. It was more to make a point and move away from hygiene and skin color or baggy pants.
I didn’t grow up in the third ward. I did however grow up in a very rough area and I tend to be concerned on occasion about people based on outside appearances. I’m not saying that I’m right either but I won’t lie and act like I don’t. I honestly find it hard to believe that anyone doesn’t do it on occasion.

You don’t see the NW perimeter apartments? The space in between? There’s no walkway there. You’re not still looking at the T-intersection picture are you?
