"Dishonors!" Fuck you Mr. President. Martin dishonored himself by attacking a man for no good reason.
"Dishonors!" Fuck you Mr. President. Martin dishonored himself by attacking a man for no good reason.If I see any violence, then I will remind folks that that dishonors what happened to Trayvon Martin and his family.
This is what the pres said during the speech. As if the violence is between the attacker and the Martin's? Maybe I'm reading to much into it, I hope so.

? He did speak up initially, when it looked like racial injustice. Now he's attempting to harness the rage out there to move his own agenda forward. I don't like it, but it's fairly standard Politician 101. Personally I don't find either speech to be particularly cowardly, malicious or deceptive.Wow.
Look at the length of this thread compared to the threads on those topics here. After all this time Obama finally weighs in and you think his words are a cover? He stood silent on what (rightly or wrongly) is a huge issue right now and is overshadowing other issues for far too long.
Whether or not you agree with Obama, and looking through this thread most here won't, it is silly to argue that he has been out there pimping this issue to cover his other problems. I can't stand the guy personally, and I did not vote for him either time, but I can put forth an honest evaluation of his rights and wrongs. Speaking up on this issue waaaaaayyyyyyyy after the fact is more cowardly than malicious or deceptive.
Trayvon Martin couldve been me 35 years ago.
So Obama used to run around attacking people and GnP them? Must have lived in a state with no guns or just got lucky to make it into adulthood..
There's no evidence Trayvon Martin was running around attacking people. He was being followed, by a stranger, for no reason that would be apparent to Trayvon other than he was young and black.
Dear Kanye-
Didn't America JUST learn that you can't legally be beaten down for following a black man and asking him questions he doesn't want to answer?

Exactly. We don't know exactly what went down, but I can certainly understand that it was a stressful situation for Martin. We have no evidence that he was doing anything wrong, so the ideas that Zimmerman was Neighborhood Watch or that his own behavior looked suspicious probably never crossed his mind. Given that no one else reported Martin as a suspicious character, it's doubtful that Martin would have ever thought that Zimmerman might be a good guy thinking Martin might be a bad guy.There's no evidence Trayvon Martin was running around attacking people. He was being followed, by a stranger, for no reason that would be apparent to Trayvon other than he was young and black.
She certainly intimated that Martin attacked Zimmerman thinking he was a gay rapist, but she's said so many different and contradictory things I put no stock in anything she says. (And really, isn't "gay rapist" about the rarest thing in the world outside of a black Klansman?)Huh? According to his bigoted girlfriend he was in-front of his fathers house when their call ended. She also believes that he threw the first punch.
So yes, there is evidence that Martin went out of his way to assault Zimmerman.

And yet nothing will happen to him and no one will question why.
is it illegal to follow young black people?

And if we aren't black, we don't know what THAT aspect of it feels like.
Martin was never on trial. Only facts that established what he did and when in regards to George Zimmerman were released.It isn't an established fact Martin assaulted Zimmerman. Its certainly possible, and that's one reason among many why the verdict could be reached.
No, but once again, Martin wasn't on trial, so this is irrelevant. No one is going to try Martin for assault and battery.And even if he did assault Zimmerman, that's not at all the same thing as walking about looking for people to fight.
Stick to facts. You don't know that's she's bigoted, that's an opinion. It isn't accurate she said where exactly Martin was, you're inferring a lot because it suits your purpose, that doesn't make it a fact that he was in front of any particular house.
And Zimmerman wasn't "people". He was a particular person who gave Martin the once over and got out of his car to follow him. At a minimum that's how it would appear to Martin, it doesn't matter what Zimmerman's purpose was.
Lots of people would take offense at that, there's nothing unique to Martin about that. And if we aren't black, we don't know what THAT aspect of it feels like. It isn't relevant whether or not Zimmerman had a racial motive, what we are discussing is how it would appear to Martin.
It isn't an established fact Martin assaulted Zimmerman. Its certainly possible, and that's one reason among many why the verdict could be reached.
But becasue somethnig is possible, or even likely, its wrong to talk about it as a fact when we don't know that to be the case.
And even if he did assault Zimmerman, that's not at all the same thing as walking about looking for people to fight.
