@snood,
Here I am snood.
Perhaps you might direct your comments about me, to me and not play schoolgirl games.
There are, unfortunately, people who have an irrational hatred for Obama as there are those who have an irrational hatred for George Bush, Sarah Palin, and soon to be developed, Mitt Romney.
The interesting difference among them is that the Right recognizes the Obama-haters as kooks, while the Left honors the Bush/Palin haters.
While I'm sure there are idiots who view each and every black person as a criminal, they hardly represent a significant segment of our society. There is no credible reason to suggest that Zimmerman perceived Martin as a criminal threat simply because he was black.
Your point of view argues that if Martin had been white, the violent incident never would have happened, because Zimmerman would have thought to himself "White kids never commit crimes and so I'll just leave this hoodie wearing one alone." Yeah, right.
If we are going to define a group by their fringe participants then we will find them all to be horrible. You're contention that the racist signs that have appeared at Tea Party gatherings are illustrative of the entire movement is an invitation to judge all of those who have spoken out about the Martin case by the New Black Panther's bounty on the man's head...dead or alive.
No doubt you appreciate the power of words when they suit your purpose and so the "N word" is atrocious. It is, but you've no such concern when using the pejorative "teabaggers." That's OK though because those "teabaggers" are evil and snood wears the white hat.
My world seems a much brighter place than yours snood. I don't see racists around every corner. I don't think that the significantly large segment of my fellow Americans who disagree with me are evil. I don't think that people with wealth are trying to marginalize those who have not yet attained it.
Thankfully, I don't live in your world, because it is truly "fucked."
But then the Lone Sloan Denzel Ranger isn't quite the hero he thinks he is if the world isn't "fucked."
