George Zimmerman Trial

The one who posted 2 before me.

not speculation...but for those under hypnosis...in that state, they view every young black man as suspicious & lethally dangerous--so any action against him is justified...perhaps a sheltered jamaican who has little knowledge of american history...i was just quoting the u.s. supreme court with all that "black man white man" stuff

I don't fall into that group that is under hypnosis. Just because I prefer not to use the race card, doesn't make me a racist, or a liar as some of you have eloquently called me simply because I don't recall encountering racism while I lived in Jamaica. Some of the direct questions I asked earlier (while directed at one person) have been conveniently avoided. Why? They are valid questions. They have nothing to do with race, but 'reasonable' behavior.

courtrooms are only as true as all the parties involved; plenty of criminals have been acquitted in courts & plenty innocent ppl sent to captivity or death...

We can agree on that, especially when I have previously stated in other threads that the side which presents the best use of the evidence in court will win.

so your point?

My point was to illustrate the use of the race card.

Racism: Webster definition

1) a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2) racial prejudice or discrimination

No where have I stated that any race is superior to any. No where have I shown prejudice. Remaining neutral in the case does not in any way mean I'm prejudiced towards one race or the other. Questioning media spin accounts or any accounts/beliefs of what happened, does not show prejudice either. (especially when we have doctored tapes.) I also questioned protests where people are looting and causing problems across the country. How does that make me racist or blame the black person when I'm questioning unreasonable behavior? The challenge is there, to anyone, who wants to have a proper discussion/debate without the name calling. (irregardless of the war room moniker.)

the hypnotized are seldom aware they are ...hypnotized

i have never called you a racist or a liar...if so produce the quotes

.

i can't remember avoiding any questions on purpose...what is 'reasonable' behavior? it is subjective....like i said we have a different conditioning so we see things differently; i do not see GZ's behavior as reasonable, while you most likely do...i see a young man being able to walk home from the store without being gunned down as reasonable...you probably don't; and there are historical reasons why we don't...you see discussing or dissecting this as pulling "the race card"...

thanks for that limited definition from webster on racism

No where have I stated that any race is superior to any. No where have I shown prejudice. Remaining neutral in the case does not in any way mean I'm prejudiced towards one race or the other.

but you have been conditioned by your environment...same way a baby born in china grows up speaking chinese & not portugese; you are living in a fantasy world if you think much of our present thinking about "race" is not rooted in actual publications & legislations as matters of public record---to ignore it is tantamount to the ostrich with the head in the sand

Questioning media spin accounts or any accounts/beliefs of what happened, does not show prejudice either. (especially when we have doctored tapes.)

this is more than media spin--this is about common sense...media spins everything...in fact the corporate/state media is a circus

I also questioned protests where people are looting and causing problems across the country. How does that make me racist or blame the black person when I'm questioning unreasonable behavior?

i have never commented on any riots...i believe any rioting reports were probably overblown...riots happen from time to time in all nations for all types of reasons...some just happened in greece & spain with "whites"...are they unreasonable?

The challenge is there, to anyone, who wants to have a proper discussion/debate without the name calling. (irregardless of the war room moniker.)

fair enough

racial prejudice or discrimination

When every time a black person gets killed or harmed someone tries to say they deserved it, that is STRONG evidence of racial prejudice and you and another person do it every strikin time.
