If this had been two black guys, this trial wouldn't have happened.
If this had been spun as a black guy and a mexican or a hispanic - the trial wouldn't have happened.
The ONLY reason this trial happened as it WAS, is because of politics and power and money. Period. Why on earth do you think the media purposely used white and black from the very beginning...because if you had read that it was black and black or black and brown, you would have flipped the page and shrugged your shoulders. There isn't any money to be made from going on national television to talk about two teenager gangsters fighting it out until one gets shot. Happens all the time and nobody pays attention. No money to be made from those activists if its just a few of their own killing each other - it HAS to be white for goodness sake. That's how you get elected to positions, that's how you go to fundraisers, that's how you get paid and noticed - heavens to betsy - black activists and leaders who understand what is happening in their own community and want to address those issues are ususally ignored, banned, blacklisted - their voices don't get heard because it doesn't pay.
Just follow the politcs and money and connect the dots. It's not that hard to do. sammieswife
I say! The U.S.A. has come a long way, if people are decrying white-persecution and white-victimisation by the Establishment, big money and authorities (power)!

If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

Two things stand out to me in reading the last several pages of this thread:
- some believe that the color of the skin that one is born in automatically makes one 'part of a group'... not one's developed ideals, lifestyle, philosophical outlook on life, accomplishments (you know, active participation and choice to identify); and - as part of a pre-determined group - one can justifiably be interfered with in the course of normal daily activities.
- at least one person believes that the 'racial' classification "white/hispanic" is a gift and promotion to light-skinned persons of Latin American background (where the population can be descendant of European Spaniards, Native Americans, Africans or Asians... or a combination of any of the previous), as expressed by the phrase "The little boy was what we now favorably call a white/hispanic". So, evidently, the author of this phrase thinks this is a superior status, yes?
So much personal revelation born of one incident!

That's so awful. Why is that my first instinct and how do I get rid of it??? I feel so ashamed... :(
Does anyone else get like that or am I just a terrible person???I'm experiencing a tug between surprise and dismay, because...
- In reading your posts all this time, I had somehow pictured you as a Black woman! [I don't know precisely how I subconsciously arrived at that imagination of you; the faceless internet is a funny thing! Something about 'tone' or 'voice' of your posts, I suppose.]
and
- Now that you've outed yourself as non-Black (presumedly, anyway. Unless you are a Black person who holds a prejudice against other Blacks. I guess it could happen.), that is just so random!
[BTW, this is not a put-down. I am just... amused.]

@slimboyfat,
It's always okay to smile when you pass a mirror.

I'm so glad the anointed were 'demoted'.
by a watcher innow they can mingle inconspicuously with the 'other sheep' without being 'made an example of' (for better or worse)..

What came with the demotion? A pay cut? A restriction of superpowers? Disconnection of the hotline to the big guy? What?
A lesser distinction may stem the influx of new, eager members into that [self-]select[ed] group. If there no longer exists a psychic dais for wafer-grazers, the line-up may thin out by disaffection.

Now my question, youths at that age (sexual awareness)
what,s the future. Ok, Boy Scouts, camping trips. You can,t
house a young youth(gay) with the girls, because you would
have young boys saying they are gay just to sleep in the barracks
with the girls. At the same time if the youth is attracted to same sex
don,t you think this will cause problem for he or her.
A adult (homosexual it,s different) but a youth, I don,t know.
I really hope it works out and there we be no problems.
I sure there has always been gays in the Boy Scouts, but
now you don,t have to hide it
Don't the Boy Scouts also emphasize discipline and self-control?
Great opportunity for an object lesson!

Heartwarming JW Facebook Comment
by exwhyzee inthis urban legend/anecdote was on the facebook page of a jw who is a facebook friend of mine.
it's kind of long but tell us what you think....it was all i could do to stop myself from making a snarky comment.
a young couple very much wanted to have a family, but his wife could not conceive, so they decided to adopt a baby.

Where was the love in this child's parents' local congregation? None of the "friends" - brothers and sisters, families - who associated with the child's JW parents could be bothered to give him a new family, in familiar surroundings? His [spiritual] future was left to chance?
Of course, maybe the JW parents were inactive, or marked, or considered unfit association... which, naturally, taints the child.
