Good post. The media played the majority of Americans like puppets.
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 but I'm not drinking the koolaid blindly.
Charles Barkley on Zimmerman Verdict
- Thread starter MikeBrownsJob
- Start date
Well since his pops stayed there and there is footage of him buying tea and skittles, one could easily say that crime wasn't on his mind. I understand your desire to put reasonable doubt into the equation, but Trayvon Martin would've made it home alive if zimmerman hadn't got out of his car and hunted him down. Fact is Trayvon Martin had every right to be there, but had he killed zimmerman, Trayvon would've been convicted even though he could've used the same stand your ground law that zimmerman used. But dead innocent boys can't tell their side of the story.

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.
obviously, but see when mr rogers died no one brought up his middle finger part. The media is a joke. Hell i got some old pictures of me in a bandana or a doorag, even some with me sticking up my middle finger. I've been suspended from school 4 times. Every teenager has pictures of them acting a fool, misbehaving.
sally and jim bob would side with zimmerman no matter if trayvon only had church choir pictures of him, alot of white people not saying all already have their preconceived "fears of black males".
We've all seen it white folks doubling their car alarms as you walk by them, running fast, walking on the other side of the street, clutching their purse etc.
and nope black parents just see a black kid, and realized because a dude has braids, a afro, wearing a bandana, grills, or stickign up middle fingers or even smoking weed that doesnt make him bad.
i remember years ago when i lived in thornhill a uppity town filled with rich jewish people and also the home town of andrew wiggins 
, i remember one night at like 12am i rode my bike to wendys and on the way riding back, a cop pulled up beside me and asked me "what are you doing in this area" and i said i live in this area, i was a young dumb ass back then who didnt know my rights etc. so i was all polite and this nikka followed me riding my bike until i went home.
this is what cacs think, and thats what zimmerman thought, trayvon shouldnt be there, blacks cant afford to live in this part of town.

What kool aide? Are you saying that these pictures (some of which weren't Trayvon) should somehow condemn him? What exactly do these pictures prove to you! Please explain.
Also, note that Zimmerman called 911 46 times, complaining about suspicious characters. Take a guess what color most of those people were. Zimmerman chased after Trayvon because he was black. Trayvon was killed simply because he was black. Not because he broke a law. There aren't 2 sides to this story.
if zimmerman saw tyler in a hoody he wouldnt have done anything.
What the hell? So because someone copped a snicker at a store it's not possible they commited a crime or was in the process of commiting a crime moments later?? Are you serious dude? I don't know what Trayvon was doing, don't know what Zimmerman did to kill him, and i'm not gonna pretend I do. The smart thing to do would be to run home or even call 911, but Trayvon didn't, so to me it points to the stupid way to respond, how I used to respond and that's confrontationally. And when that happens usually something bad ends up happening.
How can you say fact is, when that scenario did not play out? And how would Trayvon be "innocent" if he killed Zimmerman? The question would still be was it murder, self defense and whatever other version of killing someone is.
Dude
Did you even READ what I posted?
What do these pictures prove to me? NOTHING in terms of shaping MY opinion....I don't know Trayvon Martin, and neither do you. All you know is what you heard on Steve Harvey morning show or Tom Joyner, etc. But the pics prove that neither sides portrayal of Trayvon Martin is real. Do you see you see black people walking around with the pic of Trayvon smoking weed or giving the midde finger? No.....can you guess why?
Zimmerman doesn't have 46 bodies does he? Why was this situation different and why did it result in a loss of life?
I've explained all I need to say, anything else you want to know go back over my posts.
It has everything to do with what you posted. You said anyone who agrees with Barkley is a clown. Why? Because Reb doesn't agree with Barkley? Who the hell are you? You're opinion holds no more merit than Barkley or anyone elses. Yours hold less weight because you think in order to be racist you need to wield some type of power. It's damn near ridiculous and idiotic.
you sounding like your name is Jc00nlac right about now, what does him taking pictures have to do with anything? I know nikkas who have never been about that life, never even step foot in the hood with poses and shyt. they're some damn pictures how do you build up someones character off some picsSo 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
. none of those pictures paint him as a saint, if you want to keep it realIf Trayvon Martin's intent was to commit neighborhood crime, why walk all the way to the store and buy candy and tea? There were plenty of houses for him to break into on the way to the store, yet he didn't. And like I said before, why would he run home and show zimmerman where he lived? he saw this creepy looking dude following from the time he got back into the gated community he was on his way home. Did he stop to confront zimmerman or did zimmerman chase him down and start a confrontation? Did Trayvon Martin have every right to stand his ground? because he wasn't hunting down zimmerman remember? I know you want to go hard body for the "we don't know what happened" narrative but fact is, zimmerman should've stayed in the car and let the police handle it. I hope that zimmerman will have to forever look over his shoulder and wonder if he is being hunted.

No idiot. Barkley perverted the common belief that many like the President of the United States who believe race played a role in Martins death carry some sort of self serving agenda. How does that so called "agenda" help the President in believing race played a role? How does the self serving "agenda" serve me in any way other than wanting my son to be protected?
Shut the fukk up. NOTHING you said addressed my point about Barkley making those who believe race played a role as some nefarious selfsh agenda rather than something genuine you dumb ass niqqa.
You can't even debate my point you fukking clown.
Like the old sayings go, if you ain't a soldier why wear the uniform, if you ain't a whore pull in your sign.you sounding like your name is Jc00nlac right about now, what does him taking pictures have to do with anything? I know nikkas who have never been about that life, never even step foot in the hood with poses and shyt. they're some damn pictures how do you build up someones character off some pics
People doing those poses and shyt are doing it for a reason though. To fit it on, or give off the allusion they are about that life. But by that same token how many real savages have been killed and people say oh he was good boy, who never bothered anybody, he always helped the old lady across the street. Sometimes it's even true, but they negate to mention all the people he robbed and shot up and some genuinely don't know. Not saying this applies here, but people have more than one face.
