The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

Those Founders also kept people who were Trayvon Martin's color as slaves, bought and sold them as livesock

Just when I thought this thread could not get any more bizarre...Gunga comes up with those two gems.

Face it, firefly, you wouldn't have been able to give Trayvon Martin away in 1750.

Face it, Apoosa, anybody who wants to put Shelly Zimmerman in prison for trying to keep her husband out of it is basically a Nazi.

My advice: If you're going to be a Nazi, don't act ashamed of it, be proud of what you are:

who serve on our juries; they ignore all the evidence to create their own stories about what happened to benefit the accused.

The punishment for slaves in the colonies that seriously misbehavior was commonly to be sold to work the sugar cane fields in the Caribbean where the average life span was roughly three years.

By the way, why the hang up with Zimmerman ID'ing himself? Was he under obligation to do so? Please explain this hang up you have.

Missouri “Cowboy Club” Perpetuates Racism and Bad Taste
August 12, 2013
by Joshua De Leon

In a poor attempt at humor and political satire, the state of Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association (MRCA) has made itself, and the state of Missouri, look like nothing more than a bunch of racist bigots. Missouri is already home to one of the most segregated cities in America, St. Louis, and the event that happened at the Missouri State Fair, in Sedalia, MO, on Saturday night does not help the state’s image.

Over the weekend, during a rodeo at the Missouri State Fair, a rodeo clown wore a Barack Obama mask and stood target of a rodeo bull. The announcer babbled over the loudspeaker, “As soon as this bull comes out, Obama, don’t you move. He’s going to getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha.” The disgusting display occurred in what was supposed to be a wholesome, family atmosphere.

One attendee compared the event to what a Ku Klux Klan rally must be like. “It wasn’t clean; it wasn’t fun. It was awful; it was sickening,” said Perry Beam, who brought a Taiwanese guest to show him “a little piece of Americana.” Beam’s guest certainly got it. The MRCA has since issued an apology.

“The Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association would like to extend a sincere apology for the inappropriate act during the Bull Riding at the Saturday performance of the MRCA Rodeo,” said the apology. “The Sport of Rodeo is not meant to be a political platform.” If rodeo is not meant to be a political platform, then why engage in such a tasteless and offensive political commentary? What’s the narrative here? Obama is a clown and he needs to be charged by a bull? It’s unfunny and, many times over, unclever.

Even Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, who is, himself, a Republican, admonished the actions of the MRCA. On Sunday, Kindler tweeted “The MoStateFair celebrates Missouri and people. I condemn the actions to POTUS (President of the United States) the other night. We are better than this.”

Racism is still a huge problem in America. The actions of MRCA only perpetuated it and make America, to the rest of the world, look like a pack of backwater hicks who are still fighting the Civil War.

Anti-Obama protesters get racial in Arizona
By Aaron Blake,
August 7, 2013

Protesters outside President Obama’s event in Arizona on Tuesday taunted the president over his race, with one labeling him “47 percent Negro” and others singing “Bye Bye Black Sheep,” according to a report in the Arizona Republic.

Here’s the paper’s recap of the protests outside Desert Vista High School in Phoenix:

Obama foes at one point sang, “Bye Bye Black Sheep,” a derogatory reference to the president’s skin color, while protesters like Deanne Bartram raised a sign saying, “Impeach the Half-White Muslim!”

Many on both sides wore red, white and blue and carried small flags.

“It just kind of happened naturally,” said Michael Pomales of how the opposing sides separated. Pomales, an 18-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident who graduated in the spring from Desert Vista High, said he decided to join the protesters side “to spread a little love” as the crowds began shouting at each other.

Pomales said his response to people yelling for Obama to go back from where he came from is simple: “He’s a great man. He cares about what I care about, education, jobs. He’s our president. He’s an American.”

Deanna Bartram, a 17-year-old University of Arizona student from Black Canyon City, lashed out at people who call her racist for not supporting Obama. She believes Obama supporters use the “race card” against her because they disagree with her political message.

“Obama is ruining American values. He is ruining the Constitution. He needs to go back to where he came from because obviously, he is a liar,” she said. “I am not racist. I am part Indian. Obama’s half Black, half White.”

“He’s 47 percent Negro,” shouted Ron Enderle, a 77-year-old Chandler resident who said that he and his son served as Marines and his grandson is currently serving in the Marines.

Enderle criticized the president mishandling security at the U.S. Benghazi Embassy.

“My grandson is third generation Marine, and it bothers me to have this man as our commander in chief. I’m ashamed,” Enderle said.

Judy Burris said that she blames Obama for racism in America reaching heights not seen since the 1960s Civil-Rights Era.

“We have gone back so many years,” she said. “He’s divided all the races. I hate him for that.”

She said that she brought her 12-year-old grandson Christian Cabrera to the protests because she thought it would be educational.

“He’s Mexican,” she said of her grandson.

Cabrera said he wanted to accompany his grandma “so I could protest about impeaching Obama.”

…[N]umbers [released by the mayor's office] showed that 87% of the people stopped under stop-and-frisk in 2012 were black or Latino, and that 9% were white. That same year, more than 90% of those identified as murder suspects were blacks or Latino; just 7% were white.

Critics of stop-and-frisk charge that such numbers are irrelevant. They charge that cops indiscriminately go after young black and Hispanic men on bogus grounds, and that nearly nine out of ten people who are stopped are innocent.

So many people on these threads have blinders on that they can't see the obvious racial bigotry in this country.

Trayvon was carrying AriZona Watermelon Flavored Fruit Drink

And I'm told that that tastes good when mixed with cough syrup, if you also dissolve some Skittles in it.

But some people find that AriZona Watermelon Flavored Fruit Drink works good.

The key is that it be a "light" drink, and that you dissolve candy in it.

Ahhh...so you think a wife should commit crimes in order to keep her husband out of prison.
