Trayvon Martin

[mrveggieman]

so blacks need to take care of blacks first? is this not the issue we are having with whitey taking care of whitey first?

What country have you been living in?

We've had some good discussion, but I think you ran out of line here. And again here:

I would assume "anyone one of y'all" means all us white folk. I would appreciate it in the future if you didn't call me a sympathizer of a racist group such as the klan.

And yes, I do see the Panthers' actions as completely racist and ignorant. If they were about equality they wouldn't say something like "blacks only". No, they're just another group trying to put their own on top. Just like the Klan.

No not you just the more right wing conservative bible thumping ones that a lot of white people dont like either if you know what I mean.

It makes me sad that a story like this is ending up falling down partisan lines... And the Black Panthers are absolutely stupid for calling for a bounty, this isn't the wild west, how could anyone think they would be "helping" by doing something like that.

I didn't say you were racist I just questioned some the motives and agendas of people like you. I don't know you on a personal level I only know of you by what you post on this website. I have done a lot of reasearch on the black panthers and despite their negative press then do a lot of good for our communities. First thing that you may not know is that this current group of panthers is not the original black panthers they are only using their ideologies but are not directly linked to the black panthers of the 1960s. If you truley are interested in learning for yourfself abouth the panthers i challenge you to do your own research. And not base your opinion of what you hear through the grapevine.

i have not made a single assumption. i am commenting on this one instance. i think you have crossed the line with all of your "people like you" comments. If the klu klux klan was putting a bounty out on a black mans head, no one here would defend it. Yet you are so caught up in race, that you find yourself defending the black panthers and attacking anyone else by claiming racism.
Again I ask, is the report about the bounty accurate? if so, how in the world can you defend that and attack me and my character. All the non-whites at my church would get a big laugh at what you are attempting to accuse me of.

I don't know if the bounty report is accurate or not. I only saw the same info on here that you saw unless you know more about the bounty than I do. No attack at all on your character.

In other news I saw a story on the news last night that showed Geraldo of all people blaming the hoodie.
Not the guy who fired the shot. Not even the kid wearing the hoodie, but the hoodie itself.

I knew he was stupid, I just didn't realize his problem was that bad.

President Obama, Reverend Al, and Jesse need to start saying they are sorry for jumping before getting ALL THE FACTS!

[Rockman]

Let's go with this for a second and say Trayvon did attack him. 1) it was probably self defense in its own right. 2) You're not going to be able to convince me that an aspiring police officer was having so much trouble defending himself against a 150 pound unarmed kid that he felt shooting him was his only defense. Give me a freaking break, he had him outweighed by close to 100 pounds.

Zimmerman was looking for trouble and he got himself into some.
