I swear you are thicker than cold maple syrup. Did you actually go to college? Keep up with the Homey the Clown impression though; it's entertaining

Well, self-proclaimed young college student and PNM, I was actually asking you a question to understand your perspective on the Zimmerman trial. Do you feel as though the prosecution should not have been able to ask the jury to consider manslaughter?

Juror B29 is as annoying as juror B37:

Juror B29 says she owes Martin parents an apology

U-n-necessary.

If they got money or if it's more than obvious they didn't do the crime, it will work for them. But with a state appointed attorney, black folks can hang it up. That's why you can have small cities where the black population is low, but check out that city's prisons and you'll see that the majority of the inmates are black.

What kills me is when white folks start pulling that black on black crime shit out of their asses. See, when it comes to black folks and murder, with us, it's always a collective problem. 85-90% of white killings are committed my white folks, but with them, it's an individual problem. They got this whole game working in their favor.

I didn't look at it from this perspective. This is on point, and I feel you.

Whatever the explanation, it isn't true that the legal and cj system never works for Blacks.

ETA: Are you saying that this is what people incorrectly claim or is this what you believe? If you are saying that this is what people incorrectly claim, I agree with you. If this is what you believe, this is inaccurate.

Not everyone believes the prosecution sucked. Some of us in this thread believe that and have said it numerous times (long thread with long posts). For those who don't believe that, I think Sunny Hostin is among them, it is interesting hearing their perspective.

********

I want this to be an SNL spoof but I think it's real. Is the timing mere coincidence?

All is right with the world:

U.S. gun group raises $12,000 for George Zimmerman

I agree that Zimmerman should not be harmed. I only have an issue with the "gun or alarm" thing because gun rights advocates were pushing for Zimmerman to get back his gun. There is something missing in this equation.

No, I'm saying that this is the kind of picture the media paints. They make it seem that white crimes are an individual problem versus black crimes being a collective problem. I also believe that minorities of color in this country are culturally conditioned to believe that European Americans are superior and that other folks of color (especially black folks) are inferior. That's where most of the racial problems stem from.

Thanks for clarifying. I agree.

Asks the poster who claims not to have been to college yet.

Unless, of course, you're a troll or a sock. If you're not, you're doing an awfully good impression of either one.

Trash talking is par for the course. I was just curious about why some people believe manslaughter (with full knowledge of what manslaughter entails in Florida) should not have been considered.

Another take on Juror B29

Sure, but this poster's trash talk just doesn't sound to me like the trash talk of a PNM who just graduated from high school.

Qui, moi? My middle school basketball coach would be so happy to know that I've finally started trash talking!

[amIblue?]

Oh good. You're (both) back. Quelle surprise.

Well, you'll have to be sure to tell him when you start back to school in the Fall.
