My point is, both sides had an agenda(tho the white agenda was more harsh) and each side dismissed the image the other side created.

One side had thought that killing an unarmed black child was wrong, the other side thought that it wasn't that big of a deal. So I guess you're correct. There were 2 sides.

300 murders a year
I'm done debating this shyt

What just happened is the state of Florida has declared they have found a way to circumvent the laws and legally lynch us.

Anyone trying to defend that is basically attempting to sell us urine and call it lemonade

But both sides seem to ignore the elephant in the room, of the truth. And the truth is, none of us will ever know the details what truly happened.

When the story first came out, the black stations on the radio were reporting it as simply a "a young black teenager was walking home from a store, and a white man came out & shot/killed him for no reason" The white stations/Fox news, etc were reporting it as being "an act of self defense on the part of Zimmerman because Martin approached/attacked him"

Neither of those reports are the REAL truth of what happened.

I think what Fox news and people who support Zimmerman need to come to grips that he killed an innocent boy. Trayvon Martin was walking home, minding his own business until he realized he was being followed. Who's to say that Martin didn't want zimmerman to know where he lived. Trayvon Martin had every right to stand his ground because he was the one being hunted.

no doubt, at the end of the day, there was probably a scuffle and Zimmerman used excessive/deadly force against a minor.

For that reason alone, I personally think, he should do jail time.

I disagree with what he said about the verdict...but I agree with the other part about both sides having agendas.

I said that last week. Black people only viewed him as the pics of him smiling or looking ike a normal, innocent kid, while the whites mostly viewed pics of him where he looked like a "thug". So in that sense, both sides had an agenda and neither really embraced the entire picture of Trayvon Martin. But again, i do feel Zimmerman should have done jail time.

So how so you type cast the agenda saying that race played a factor? Charles feels the agenda focusing on that is wrong. I and many feel its universally right. So what's the point of you agreeing theres an agenda unless you agree that it's done out of being self serving to those involved?

Anyone who agrees with him is a clown

What's the "REAL" truth? What's the "elephant in the room"? You're talking in circles. Speak your mind. Trayvon was breaking no laws, when he was approached by an armed man. That man did shoot and kill him. Anyone that tries to circumvent those facts, are showing their biases, and approval of the death of an innocent child. Bottom line. That includes both you and Barkley.
Absolutely disgusting.

You're assuming he was minding his own business. You're assuming he was "innocent". Every knows Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, that was never in question. The question is was it murder? You believe it was, some don't. None of us were there .

So, it's the Reb way or the highway, right? How's that any different than the so called "white way"? You cry about racism but you act just the same as you claim the racist do. Oh, but wait you take dikk at your office and hold no power therefore, you can't be racist. Yet, peon Zimmerman was racist. Black people like you are disgusting.

So you're telling me there was no scuffle, no time in which the two became physically entangled/fighting that presented the opportunity for Zimmerman to stand or kneel over Martin and shoot him in the chest? So Trayvon was just walking his merry way and Zimmerman came out, shot him for no reason(other than race), then it was over?

Again, a. Zimmerman used excessive/deadly force, b. against the orders of the dispatcher So for that he should be jailed. Understand?

Do I believe race played a factor? Of course, no question. But I don't believe wholeheartedly either sides simple black&white portrayal of what happened because a. both sides are prone to agendas that will not see eye to eye. and b. I wasn't there, nor were you.

And I'm not talking in circles, you just CAN'T keep up....

While the pre-dominantly White side is showing Trayvon pics of him smoking weed, or taking about him being suspended from school, etc.,

The black side was ignoring those photos and only focused on these type and the ones you saw on t-shirts.

And you're still gonna tell me neither side of the media black/white radio stations had an agenda or bias? You're fooling yourself.

The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle

:rudy:

And??? Don't direct this at me.

I'm just telling you what was done in how the characters were portrayed. Sally & Jim Bob sitting at home in rural white America see those photos and might side with Zimmerman....while black parents see the other photos and see their childrens faces in Trayvon and obviously it strengthens their position.

The sh*t isn't rocket science andits been going on for decades but people, both black and white, continue to take the bait.

As I said last week, I lean to the black side obviously and based on the fact that this was racially motivated, but I'm not drinking the koolaid blindly.
