Boy, this interaction should be some sort of poster for utter idiocy.
For your information, "Latino" ain't a race, and neither is "Hispanic".

race    [reys]
noun
1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.
2. a population so related.

4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.
5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.

I know right...the utter idiocy of some posters that dont even know the definition of race.

Zimmerman has one white parent (according to neighbors) and one latino parent(from peru) That makes zimmerman as white as Obama.

Spainiards are white.
Argentina is mostly white (and a serial defaulter), as is Costa Rica, while Mexico and Bolivia are majority Indian (Che wound up dead partly because he didn't know Quechua, which the backwoods Indians there speak rather than Spanish).
Brazil and Venezuela are majority mixed race, the "mixed" part being black and to a lesser extent Indian (although of course most people will try to claim Indian rather than black if they're obviously mixed).
Cuba is majority black, although you'd never know it from the Cubans who wound up in the US.
And the US? Well, there are more blacks here than there are in Argentina and probably in Costa Rica as well. Oh, my.

In other words, "that would upset my worldview, so I'll go the red herring route and try to sound smart to boot."

Many people in this country refer to themselves as "Latino" and/or "Hispanic". Go out and meet some. I never said either were a race.

None of that changes the fact that the Panthers, Jessie and Al are total hypocrites. It would be a breath of fresh air to see someone stand up to them. I certainly will, if the Panthers show up when I vote (very slim chance in my neighborhood). In the meantime, maybe MEChA can do something worthwhile for once.

Quote from achilles28:

You have no idea what took place. Nobody does. There is one witness ("John") who corroborates Zimmermans self-defense account. Provoking a confrontation is Liberal drama-bullshit speak for talking to a stranger. Talking to a stranger is not a crime, nor is it reason to attack somebody. Do you think you have the right to attack a person who talks to you, just because you feel "threatened"?

Thank you.

There is something beyond despicable about trying to exploit a tragedy for political purposes, whether it is the race hustlers or the anti-gun crowd.

The public mob is often wrong. The entire country was sure that Richard Jewell was guilty. The entire country thought the Duke Lacross players were guilty. Locally, in our city, a man was accused of rape and murder and everyone was sure he was guilty -- until all the evidence was made public.

I have no idea if Zimmerman is guilty or not; but I do know that the public often rushes to judgement, whipped into a frenzy by the media because it's good for their ratings.

After the many times that the majority of the public has been completely and totally wrong in major criminal cases we should have learned something by now... Apparently, some people are unable to learn from past experience.

CNN poll: Majority call for arrest in Trayvon Martin shooting

By CNN Political Unit Mon March 26, 2012


(CNN) -- One month after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, nearly three out of four Americans say the police should arrest the neighborhood watch volunteer who pulled the trigger, according to a new national survey.

And the CNN/ORC International poll released Monday also indicates that three-quarters of the public says that neighborhood watch members should not be allowed to carry weapons.

Seventy-three percent of people questioned in the survey say that George Zimmerman should be arrested, with 11% disagreeing and 16% unsure. Zimmerman admits to shooting and killing Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager, in Sanford, Florida, on February 26.


"Nearly two-thirds of whites and 86% of non-whites say Zimmerman should be arrested," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland, "as well as majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independent voters."

Uh oh, someone who did some research, battery acid to the right.
