[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the jury in the Zimmerman case reached the right verdict; innocent little Trayvon was trying to bash Zimmerman's skull open against a concrete sidewalk (Trayvon wasn't as innocent as first portrayed).  He was a violent punk who turned into the aggressor.

But Zimmerman - while not a murderer - should never have followed Trayvon around; the guy's behavior before and since that night suggest he has serious delusions about being a cop when he is not; following Trayvon was not his job. His weird personality and lack of judgement will eventually land him behind bars.

He also was not driven by racism; he's a person of color himself!  Justice was right to drop the civil rights investigation ; Zimmerman used to volunteer as a tutor / mentor to disadvantaged black kids.  Zimmerman was anti-crime, not anti-black.

Finally, this administration handled the whole affair miserably.

[b]+1 AA's should focus on educating themselves to get out of poverty. Not marching for the life of a slain thug[/b] (who imo got what he deserved)[/quote]

1) I'm an African-American who has not need to focus on getting out of poverty. Shockingly, not all of "us" are born into poverty. Secondly, not everyone who was marching for a slain thug were uneducated. There were *gasp* black lawyers, and other professionals out there marching! Please don't assume all[b] African-Americans are either in poverty, or have worked their way out[/b]. That's like saying white people should focus on getting an education to work their way out of trailer parks.[/quote]

Every ethnic group has to work their way out of poverty. The difference was that the catholics and other groups did not march for their thugs and criminals but instead worked to better themselves as a group[/quote]

So, AA haven't worked to better themselves as a group? Civil Rights movements? Fighting for our equality and rights? [/quote]

So did the Catholics and they didn't complain half as much[/quote]

Nor did they spend 245 years in slavery.[/quote]

More like 500[/quote]
