Now, we can find the truth out.
You can keep repeating that but it's bull****. If this was your kid would you be satisfied with the investigation and the clearing of Zimmerman?

THere are injustices Cigar boy thinks should come first.
You buck dancin' too Mikeyy........?



That guy actually reminds me of you. Yep, a completely unvarnished wonderfully fresh angry take that was dead nuts on......

That dude didn't say a damn thing abuout Martin or Zimmerman. His rant was focused of the jack-asses that only come out of the woodwork when a white man is involved in a black death. You know damn well what he is talking about so, give him his props and make your own points if you disagree......


But, don't call him wrong because he's not........

So now we have decided Zimmerman is white? Ok, I thought he was hispanic. hard to keep up.

First, I don't like the racial slurs this guy repeats. I think that is part of what the right finds refreshing because it comes from a black man it is allowable.

Second, what has happened with this case is what happens with a lot of cases. They get their own momentum. We see it with many cases during each year. It's not because of race, its because of exposure. Take a Polly Klass or a Jon Benet Ramsey or a Casey Anthony case. The missing or murdered kid story is happening daily. Terry Sciavo is a really good example. People often make a choice to cut off life support to people who otherwise won't live. That happens every day. But the Sciavo case made it all the way to congress. Why? No reason except it got a little exposure and more and more people jumped on the band wagon. I can show you a hundred examples of this. If it weren't this case it would be some other case. Why do we all know Sciavo? Someone today will pull the plug on a family member, Maybe a wife, maybe a parent. But none of us know or care. But we all know Sciavo. It doesn't have to be about race. How about the British couple who has been looking for their missing kid Madeliene McCann? Or Elizabeth Smart? Or Caylee? Or Adam Walsh? Go google famous missing kids and I will bet you they are all white. Does this mean white people only care about missing white kids? This race stuff is out of hand.

Third, Why do we need to disparage people when they may just be responding to what has become the story of the day. It happens with white folks all the time as I just pointed out. Should some cigar sucking white boy make a video saying "These stupid crackers only care about this missing kid because it's a white kid. If it were a black kid they would all stay home" And doesn't yet again distract from the need for the Martin family to gain a measure of fairness? There are always people trying to make things about race but the family has not. Pushing stories like this make it seem like there isn't a real story but a made up one. Some here have decided this family is out of line and that the only reason this is a important story is politics. But when I ask the white boys and girls who hate that this story is in the news how they would feel about how this investigation was done if the dead kid was theirs they get real ****ing quiet.

Cigar boy, and Nazis and The New Black Panthers are just a bunch of side issues that some here would rather focus on when at the nucleus of this case is a family who lost a child. If they were both green the facts of how this investigation and release happened stink. I don't get the need by the right here to promote race in this. The family has not and they have only asked for fairness. They are not gloating over the arrest. They have asked people to remain calm and let the case go forward in the legal system. Promoting the race thing is done by others and promoting it is just wrong and distracts from what is the right thing to do. BTW the mother says she believes it could have been an accident. That the thing had gotten out of hand. She said that today and the right should stop trying to disrespect this family and the issues.

~ That's exactly what that guy said. In his own unvarnished words. I respect straight talk now and then, and I'd bet the farm you do to.....

* Is that what you think hucksters like Al Sharpton and JJ do Mikeyy....? Come on, you're smarter than that. They only show up for face time where there is some money to be made and you know it....

@ You played the Hitler card for cigar guy....? That's pathetic.....
He can see the hypocrisy with the side shows, why can't you....?


You can say they should be focusing on the family and that's fine and dandy but, why don't you tell the husksters that instead of cigar guy....?


I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.....

I have been saying this. Who keeps bringing these threads that have nothing to do with the case at hand. The left or the right?

I think some of both....

We've head threads about Zimmerman and threads about Treyvon and the case has been discussed here many times.....

Now, the side shows and complaints behind the scenes the are another chapter in the same book. What cigar guy said was very much out of the norm and I thought it would make for an interesting thread. I hear the right talk alot about "accountability" and when guys like that step up to the mike and speaks the truth, it exposes common ground.....


Something we need more of, much more......

The problem was how he went to the old stereotypical language. Shoe shine? What does shoe shining have to do with this story. It was a racist stereotype that some here seem to have gotten a kick out of. Why?

How was that racist, he was talking about his own race Mikeyy.....?

Shoe shining was his description of the real race baiting hucksters behind the scenes.....


You know, Barbara Boxer and Shelia Jackson Lee types......
