The ignorance with which you post makes you a big joke. Quite seriously, I don't think I know anyone who would post such nonesense and take themselves seriously doing so.
Isn't it time Trayvon's parents accept responsibility?

Quote from Ricter:
Uhh huh, you're a giant.
Anyway, stop posting here if we can't ignore you.
And fuck off and die while you're doing it.
That is free speech. Do you kiss ass of the moderator?

She's got nowhere to go. Nobody wants `tards on their doorstep. Still, these racist libtards have inspired me to write more and write I shall! Haven't had this much fun in quite some time. Too tired now though, but come morn'. . .
I wonder if I can make their heads explode. . . .
I'm beginning to understand why some of you need a "Stand Your Ground" law to get through life without getting killed. If you are such a "brave" man, then prove it by identifying yourself.
What if you were a pilot , or a soldier.
My point is , what if you were not at home half the time.
We've been talking about the need for dialog between the races for years. Fine, Patrick Buchannan expresses how a large fraction of whites feel, and Jessy Jackson and Al Sharpton express how a large fraction of black Americans feel. So there is a dialog, and where has it gotten us? Nowhere.
Though one hears the word "racism" in every media discussion of race relations, discrimination and prejudice are a matter of perceived probabilities, not race -- the high correlation of probabilities and race notwithstanding. Change the probabilities and you will change perception, and with it discrimination and prejudice.
My perspective is that of a white male living in the Deep South.
I am told by a long-time social worker that black parents in the deep south tell their children that the white man is the devil. Black children justify their poor performance in school and protect their self-esteem by convincing themselves that education is a white thing. Astronomic numbers of black children are born into single parent households on welfare, raised by grandmothers, and educated on the street rather than in school. Black males emulate prison garb in the way they wear their clothes. Of the ones who do manage to graduate from high school, a not insignificant fraction are virtually illiterate. GED classes are almost entirely black.
Is it any wonder that racism among blacks is an epidemic. Is it any wonder that many can barely read or write. Is it any wonder that they have no access to capital and no job, and when they manage to get one, can't keep it. Is it any wonder that a very high percentage are on public assistance. Is it any wonder that their incarceration rate is astronomical.
Though correlated with a coefficient of one, prejudice and discrimination by whites against blacks is not due to race. There are, of course, racists among the white population. Rather the prejudice and discrimination experienced by blacks is caused by the perceived probability that a black person will be poorly educated, untrustworthy, and involved in criminal activity of one sort or another. If that perceived probability goes up, prejudice and discrimination will worsen, if it goes down, prejudice and discrimination will lessen.
The best way to tackle this problem is to abandon the ineffective attempts to change perception, and instead change the actual probability. The civil war ended a century and a half ago. The black community would do well to recognize this, get down to business, and stop this counterproductive, illogical blaming of white folks for the condition they find themselves in.
