No, if you’re referring to the one on the right, he, like Obama, is bi-racial…one white parent, one black.

the phrase, “reverse discrimination”, was not coined by me. It is just another way of referring to the occurrence of when whites are discriminated against. You are right, discrimination is discrimination, but liberals and media don’t care to see or report when certain racists are discriminated against.
Reminds me of the phobia that use to exist with reporting spousal abuse when it was the husband being physically abused.

Hon , we could go back and forth quoting cases. What is the backstory with the black athlete knocking on a door ?
Tge story was about the media. . West was cherry picking to prove his point , just like me .

The story is about media hypocrisy . I listed cases to dispute that claim. BTW, West only mention the old vet’s case bec the 3 boys were being arraigned on that day. Have you heard him talk about that before?
I make no accuse for any of those murders. It was awful and if found guilty they should go to jail. But I will admit, the Aus kids should have run faster. You didn’t address the black Marine vet that was shot by cops when his medical alert bracelets went off .
Flash mobs are normally non violent . Sure you can find more violent ones, but you can find violent cases in little league baseball games, too.
As for why blacks commit more crimes, I am not a socialist or a physiatrist . So you have to ask a ack person like Mr West. He’s a black and probably has a couple criminals in his family.

One. Name another ? Thank you media for giving us one missing child!!!!

Did you actually read was was written or what you wanted to see. The key word my friend is Justice. Take of your blinders. People wont agree on the Martin case its that simple. It does not bear on my life, but the disparity of justice that is in or country does. Its funny that the only thing you dealt with was the Martin part. Martin was not the focus, the focus was the ridiculous notion of hypocrisy in the media. As was asked in the post, what else do you want them to report? Do you have the same disdain for the known and blatant hypocrisy in our justice system?

This has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in my lifetime, and I have heard some dumb crap. Do you realize there are folks here from Africa that gained citizenship…hence African American. Also black is not a race, just like white is not a race. “Blacks” are Africans that lost their cultural identity because of hatred. Africa is a collection of countries, and many blacks will never know where they orginate. So all we can claim is Africa. The fact that you made such a outrageous claim doesn’t even make me want to deal with the rest of your gibberish. You have proven yourself incapable of rational thought.

I will educate you.. there is no such thing as a hyphenated American. People that have emigrated to America and claimed citizenship here in the USA by legal definition is a African-American, Irish-American, Asian-American, etc.. but for someone that was born in America regardless of their ancestry or heritage they are American and only American not a hypenated American. President Roosevelt made this clear in his speech in 1915 that there is no such thing as a Hyphenated-American… you are either American or you are not… you should research some history. Here is a fun fact for ya.. not all blacks are of African ancestry as some are of Caribbean descent. Whites that have emigrated from South Africa are emigrated African-Americans by legal definition. Just because you have African ancestry when being born in America does not make you African-American. It is not a race issue or an ethnicity issue.. Its a nationality issue and if you are not happy being an American and just an American then leave. Whats even more funny is that most blacks that claim to be African-American or complain about slavery have no factual knowledge of their ancestry of slavery and have no knowledge of Africa. How sad is that this white man knows more about black history than you do?

No America is not an ethnicity but thats not the point Im making. the point Im making is that most of the blacks that were born here in America and claim they are African-American have absolutely zero knowledge of their ancestry, heritage, African history, slave history, and/or lack knowledge about anything Africa (political/history/people) but they are all quick to proclaim African-American. The term African-American wasn’t even coined or pushed until 1987-89. It’s a flavor of the moment in history to be called African-Amercian. You can be an American with an African heritage or descent , or an American with a Asian heritage etc.. but there is no African-American or Asian-American, etc…… Just like the one drop rule from the early 1900’s.. Blacks and whites fought so hard to remand and rid of that term but here in the present blacks and half white-blacks are now quick to embrace it and claim it. WTF? Blacks and many whites have fought such a long time for everyone to have equality and be considered equal and just as soon as we begin to reach this equality label the black community is quick to make it known to be different and seperate themsevles as African-Amercan instead of just American. It seems like the closer and harder everyone pushes for equality the farther the black community pushes away.

What was stolen from you…? your own ancestors sold you in to slavery… Further, blacks have progressed far more as a people to an extent living in America far more than people in the African countries have. In reality blacks have benefited much more having left Africa..and nothing is stopping anyone from going back… further, I could go on the street and ask almost any black that claims they are African-American to tell me something about the country of Africa.. tell me anything factual about Africa and I would bet most would not have a clue… Knowledge isn’t stolen from you or blacks.. its laziness that prevents you or any black from learning the culture or true history… You can’t steal knowledge or take away education. its a losing argument my friend.

Here we go…I hope you realize that slavery isn’t an issue to me. The treatment of the slaves is another story. The fact that you fail to realize is despite being sold, that does not diminish in the slightest the horrors nor the fact that our culture was basically ripped away from us. What part of Africa can a black person go to, considering they don’t even know what tribe they were apart of. You are clueless, but think you have a clue. Take your time and read this. Black people’s cultural identity was stolen. You may not like this, but it is true. Consider this….blacks didn’t make the labels…whites did to separate themselves. Sadly ignorance like yours furthers divisions because you speak as if you have some type of clue. Wake up my friend. Despite being american we still have a cultural background. This can’t be avoided no matter how much we try to cover it up with we are American lingo. Of course we are Americans, but as stated before…American is not an ethnicity, but a citizenship.

Let me clear a few things up for you.. In regards to labels, In the past that my have been true that whites made the labels but in the present here and now the label making is from the black community which continues to try and seperate themselves from everyone else. As I said earlier that blacks want to seperate themselves with the label of African-American and not just American, etc.. that african-american label was started in 1987, very recent…. It’s obvious you didn’t even read or try to comprehend what I wrote earlier.. Every person, race, ethnicity that immigrated and/or emigrated to America has a cultural identity and unique ancestry just like blacks.. Blacks are not the only ones that are privy to a past culture and history… and this is where your ignorance and people like you continue the racial divide. Blacks think that their identity and history is somehow unique from every other race/ethnicity and its not as a majority of you still think you are owed something when everybody else had to work for what they earned. Not everybody came to this country willingly in the past as there were white, spanish slaves just as there were black slaves. Anyway, You claim you couldn’t go back to Africa because you wouldn’t know what tribe your from but it’s the same thing if a white went back to wherever they were originally from trying to determine thier family tree/ancestry…. but what difference would it make if you knew what tribe you were from or not as you would still be back in your own culture and be able establish new roots just like if a white went back to Ireland not knowing their ancestry they would still reestablish new roots. You keep claiming the black culture and identity was stolen? What was stolen, what was ripped away, why can’t you get it back or resume whatever it is you think you lost? Why can’t you bridge a gap from the present to the past? Listen, It’s a great privilege being a part of something bigger such as being an American citizen(nationality) that encompasses all walks of life equally but still being able and allowed to stay true to your culture and roots. Name one other country where you have this kind of freedom and opportunities.

first you choose to ignore obvious facts. Not all white and other races of people came here on there own as some were brought here as slaves just as blacks were. Further, You contradict yourself by the very point you try to make in regards to your claim of being African-American. You make it very clear in your arguments that being American is a citizenship not a race/ethnicity which is true but then you try to state your case as to why African-American is a valid representation of what blacks in America are. Think about that point and ponder it for awhile and if you are smart you will see how foolish and contradicting you sound. African-American was only started recently (back in 1987-89 timeframe) so there is no rich history to support why that term is justified nor it’s meaning. Ethnic descriptions used in hyphenation with ”American” are only used for immigrants or first-generation Americans. If you emigrated here and became a citizen then you are a “blank”-American. Further, you keep up with this rhetoric about culture and history was ripped from you but then you turn around and claim that you don’t even know what tribe or your ancestors are so how can you still claim that anything was ripped away and taken when you have absolutley no knowledge or clue of what you supposedly once had that you keep complaining about. It’s the same thing when blacks claim that they their supposed slave ancestors worked in the cotton field with absolultely no proof of what their ancestors actually did. For all they know thier ancestors could have been house servants or whatever else and not all slaves were abused and tortured. It’s amazing how you speak so confidently in generalities as things being fact when you readily admit in your own statements that you don’t know.

LMAO.. I think it is you that has the reading comprehension. You are making and continuing an argument that you yourself have no answers to. It has nothing to do with being an American as the point is that there is no such thing as an African-American unless you emigrated or are a first generation. what can’t you comprehend. You talk as if the term African-American has some deep rooted meaning that truly identifies what a black a person really is but the fact that African-American was only coined and began in 1987 proves otherwise. You argue that this and that was stolen from blacks but you have no knowledge of who your ancestors actually were so how can you possibly claim anything was stolen and your way of life destroyed if you don’t even know where you truly come from. You could be from the Caribbean or Haiti or somewhere else other than Africa for all you know. Further, not every non-black that was brought here as a slave or an indentured servant can trace their roots as you so easily claim through their ancestry. The black man’s plight is not unique to anyone else that was brought here unwillingly but somehow you try to claim it is. So as the argument began and somehow you sidetracked it.. There is no such thing as an African-American or any kind of Hyphenated-American unless you immigrate and are born in first generation or emigrate.

You also probably don’t realize that there is an attack on the second amendment. Attacking stand your ground laws are very good ways to further try to disarm citizens. Wake up a bit buddy.

So you really believe that he had the sense to grab his gun, while having his head smashed in? Not really trying to make my comments about that incident but people really need to wake up.

What the heck are you talking about. Its obvious that he had his gun already out. No one has the type of recovery ability. This isn’t X-men or some hollywood movie.

If someone is banging your head against the concrete you would not have the sense to grab your gun. Your brain is being rattled, the gun would be the last thing on your mind…if you are still conscience. Man people these days have been watching hollywood too much.

He wasn’t jus thit in the head…According to the “facts” his head was being bashed into the ground repeatedly. The fact is you can’t understand simple biology. Let’s make it simple. If your brain is constantly hitting your skull your senses will be inpaired. Instict will cause you to grab the persons hands. How about use your common sense, instead of regurgitating half-baked nonsense. Stop letting Fox, CNN, or what ever “news” source do the thinking for you.

You really have no clue. Listen superhuman feats are possible, but this isn’t the case. There would have been no way for Zimmerman pull his gun out if he was getting his head bashed in like he said. Because he would not have the sense due to his brain getting rattled inside his head to reach for it. So the only logical idea is that he had his gun out already.

I don’t hate anyone, first of all…not even racists. They are low information, low self esteem, immature, and scared little people. I feel sorry for them and don’t like that they bring our country down and keep it from moving forward..but I don’t hate them.

I don’t care if GZ was white, Hispanic or half and half. The FACT is the justice system listened to a liar and demonized the black victim. This happens OFTEN. Again, I challenge you to find an instance where a black shooter made up a story of self defense against someone other than a black person..without witnesses and with injuries inconsistent with the story (the first investigating officers words) and they DIDN’T EVEN CHARGE HIM.

My goal was not to win you over…it was to point out how shameful it is what Allen West is doing.

I am its just sad to see people like you and trying to debate with kids. Bye now

I don’t care if you are white or not…lol. If you have racist views…you are a racist. That goes for Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder, Ted Cruz, or any other person of color who promotes ignorance, hate, and bigoted nonsense.

I didn’t call you racist. I said

” you believe the legacy of racism and hate that you have been taught.”

Why did I say that? How about this “Shut the {uck up eric holder lover douche. Youre mad because we did what “yall” wanted only to waste time, then you sit there saying rabdom black kids killing random white people isnt a hate crime because its not the same as treyvon is completely retarded.”
I am not fans of Obama or Holder…but you assumed I was because I am black. That sir = bigotry. Bigotry comes from a BELIEF of nonsense that has been promoted in this country around race. That doesn’t make you racist …per se..but it does mean you hold on to racist beliefs that are false.

Of course Blank Panther Party, NOI, and the Moorish Science temple (you probably haven’t heard of them) and others are racist and/or bigoted. There was no need for me to bring them up in the prior post…we were talking about a specific way that the RIGHT pushes an agenda of bigotry. The left pushes an agenda too. But, to call Al a racist because he is fighting against racism is like calling MLK, freedom riders, Medgar Evers, and Rosa Parks racists. That is just silly.

Yes there are many reactionary blacks and minorities (including native Americans) who have a problem with the historical mistreatment of minorities in this country. Of course you say they should ignore the current racism that exists and forget the legacy of racism that was a part of the fabric of this country, but you can’t..nor should you try… control how those who experience injustice deal with it. You can’t marginalize how others feel about having to jump through twice as many hoops as their counterparts to get the same results. Why be so dismissive? If you had a family member get shot..would you tell them to “get over it” or to “let it go”?

I don’t have a party. I think all of you all who subscribe to the dogma of political parties or ideologies are the second biggest problem in our country. There is no YOUR TEAM OR MY TEAM. That is a myth. Dems and GOP’ers at the top are ALL ON THE SAME TEAM. Divide and conquer the poor and middle class is..and always has been…the goal. The first strategy to do that?…use racial mistrust and bigotry. Guess what…it’s working like a charm.

I didn’t say the MEDIA…I said people like YOU.

We are talking about TM because ALLEN WEST compared the cases…not because I brought it up..lol. I merely said what Allen was doing was shameful because he is not comparing apples to apples. If I am wrong about that, please tell me how. But don’t presume I was talking about racism in the justice system as a whole…because the list of cases would be too long to even list here.

You are welcome to challenge anything that I call fact with facts to the contrary without me attacking your personally or hurling insults. if you are right..I will concede because I don’t have a political agenda or alliance. I just want our country to be better. And I can GUARANTEE as long as people are listening to Allen, Rush, Ann, Glenn and others we will struggle to move past bigotry to a country that includes and embraces everyone regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, class, or gender.

So what you are saying is that it was OK to confront and shoot Trayvon because after researching his background they found out he was liked hip-hop and had troubles at school? So it was a preemptive killing because all young Blacks who like hip-hop and do bad at school grow up to be murderers?

Jastin below are exactly the type of people you defend and believe make this country “great”. Then you believe I am the “Mo-Ron”? Lol. Get a grip.

Trayvon was by no means an innocent young man. And Zimmerman did not just draw and shoot .

Henry Watson and Damion Williams both got charged AND CONVICTED. Both did jail time.

James, my friend, I really couldn’t care less about GZ or the Denny case specifically. I am simply saying that Allen West and people like him are shameful for stirring up trouble by comparing things that are not comparable just because their is a racial element. It is playing to the natural prejudices and distrust between the races.

We SHOULD fight for equal justice under the law. I can’t even understand why there is anyone in this day and age would have a problem with that.

Not secret service but someone is watching and listening. there are trigger words that will raise flags and be investigated. Don’t be surprised if someday some of the people on here that don’t know how to conduct a respectful race discussion have people knocking on thier door. believe me it happens.

The media does not care so much about the actual crime but the reaction to it

That child was not unarmed. He grabbed for Zimmerman’s gun, and that made him armed. He should never have jumped another person. Not raised to be a decent human being.

What are your thoughts on why Trayvon just didn’t go in house that he clearly made it to (if he was so afraid) as stated by Rachel Jentel but instead circled around to confront Zimmeran?

Then he should have called the police when he got inside his home. He made the decision to attack someone else, and it does not sound like he was frightened. He sounded like a bully.

Might be better if you just tried to put as much distance between you and the follower as you could.
