Wow, race is even more of a preoccupation with you than it previously appeared. Tragic!
Those kids walking around Hollister and American Apparel are just asking for it if you ask me.
George Zimmerman is white. There are white jews and white puerto ricans GET OVER IT
And how exactly does his skin colour affect his crime (unless you're as racist as it seems this guy was)?
You're an idiot. He's latino.
Obama came from a black father and a white mother. Yet he's identified as black by pretty much everyone.
Don't worry, tho. I hear the police chief that handled the case is white. So, you can focus your "blame whitey" rhetoric on him.
But when he was with ABC many of the same folks who now bring up FOX just loved him. . . what a crusader. . . I love the mood shift.
It doesn't change the fact that certain factors come into to play in crime. Should they - NO, are they legally relevant - NO, do they in reality make a difference - YES.
latino is NOT a race.
Hispanic or Latino Americans are Americans with origins in the Hispanic countries of Latin America or in Spain, and in general all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino.[2][3][4][5][6]
Reflecting especially the Latin American population, which has origins in all the continents and many ancestries,[7] Hispanic/Latino Americans are very racially diverse, and as a result form an ethnic category, rather than a race.[5][8][9][10] The choice of name is associated with location: Hispanic and Latino Americans who reside in the eastern United States tend to prefer the term Hispanic, whereas those in the west usually prefer Latino.
So does it make me a racist when I post that both of them are and look Hispanic.
hispanic is used to describe people from spanish speaking countries. over half of american hispanics are white.
I can really only speak for myself here and I didn't like him then either. At least I'm consistent. His Capone safe schtick told me all I needed to know.
No, I failed to see the validity of what you were posting. You gave examples that didn't apply. The boy was pursued for no other reason then what he wore. And was shot, from a man who had the safety of his own car. Not to mention, his gun.Then you failed to understand what I was posting.
Well I see the point Geraldo Rivera is making even if some others either don't or just don't want to admit that they do.
The shooter is responsible for the death.
And I agree 100% with Rivera.
He wore the hoodie... It got him targeted!

Try and make such a case in court counselor. I wish you luck. I think it will be proved eventually, that the boy was killed without justifiable provocation.
Who the Hell said anything about in court?
This is as stupid as saying a good looking woman drunk and wearing a see though negligee and walking through a high crime part of town late at night has the same risk of being attacked as a woman in a good part of town in the late afternoon wearing combat uniform and who looks like she means business.
Were there an attack would any of this provide any help to the defence - NO Does it somehow excuse an attack - NO Would you tell your cousin choose the see though negligee (presuming you care about your cousin) - again NO
You may well be correct. As I've posted a number of times a lot is going to hinge on the 911 Dispatcher's instruction not to follow the teen. IF Mr. Zimmerman ran down Mr. Martin then the stand-your-ground is totally out the window.
I repeat, how exactly does his skin colour affect his crime (unless you're as racist as it seems this guy was)?
