Injustice and tragedies have happened before and will happen again and again to all people. What we don't need is some "activist" racist yelling "Racism" every time it happens and the media promoting him. This is irresponsible behavior and is dangerous to our country.



I trust, there is nothing close to an activist yelling 'racism' EVERY TIME there is an injustice

if anything, people need to be consistent in staying on top of injustice,, they dont need to back up off of it like its the flavor of the day,,,,

Yes, but there seems to be only one race that does this with regularity. Injustice, like everything else is a part of life you have to accept that fact. Staying on top of it wont prevent it. Certainly yelling racism on top of it does not help or prevent it and is very polarizing.



really? noone told civil rights activitsts

noone expects injustice to be 'prevented' anymore than murder or theft or any other crime

but that doesnt make inaction a justifiable excuse,

action can and does IMPROVE things, even though it never makes them perfect,,

Racism is an action that does not improve anything.

David Duke has also made some pretty wise speeches.

Why aren't Dino Sharpie and Eugene ostracized?

Because I don't think Zimmerman committed a crime and I think Al Sharpton is a parasite, that doesn't mean I don't think racism exists.


Oh, I didn't mean to imply you are among those sharpton detractors who thinks that racism is a thing of the past.


I just think it's very bigoted and racist to assume that Zimmerman wasn't prosecuted because Martin was black.


I don't assume that its ever that simple, not do I assume that a more nuanced form of this bias was present in this particular case. I do think its the normal course of events in many urban areas today for poor people, homeless people, and black people to get dramatically inferior treatment from some of the police.... but not so inferior that the police would fail to press charges in an obvious and well evidenced situation.
