Their son would also often point at his skin and say something like it is only skin deep. This was only a few years ago when he said it and he was about 5 at that time. So racism goes on.

Just to be startling and crystal CLEAR.
I have not read ONE SINGLE POST on this forum....NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY ONE that even implied that racism did not exist. NOT ONE
And this highlights the problem in having any kind of discussion. EVERYTHING is generalized.....we all have black friends who suffered racism...what part of that is not clear ?
In this case, a young boy was killed. The police WERE doing their job and had actually or nearly had come to the same conclusion as the jury eventually did.
It was hijacked from them and USED.....why is nobody angry at those who did that ?
Sharpton, Jackson, The Black Panthers do NOTHING until they can get themselves on TV. Why is racial divide reserved for such media affairs ? We deal with and move forward individually and allow this to divide us even further instead of allowing forward progress.
Yep..there is bias...yep..there is racism...it has always existed toward groups and always will.
This was not....is not a case to pursue for justice. Nobody on here knows for sure whether Zimmerman was a fat, racist with a gun looking for trouble OR whether Martin was out alone smoking pot looking for trouble.
Why do we allow these media host, politicians, etc. stir us up ?
