QuoteSo, the president could have been a thug that attacked GZ...nice.
No, what he clearly meant, without your "spin", was that as a young man he, too, could have easily been profiled as "suspicious", based at least partly on racial appearance and being "out of place", while walking down the street.
QuoteYes. If someone dresses like a thug, they will be seen as suspicious, regardless of race. However if they are then at least civil when talked to, the suspicion is soon defused.
OTOH if they have a chip on their shoulder and come back with attitude, things can quickly escalate.
Don't want to be "profiled" as a thug? Don't dress/act like one.
Quote
I've seen lots of people, both white and black, dressed in hooded sweatshirts. They weren't thugs; they were people wearing hooded sweatshirts. Yes, nowadays, it is a style of clothing popular among many urban black people. So now it's ok for white guys to wear hooded sweatshirts but black males aren't allowed to wear them because that means they dress like nigger thugs in hoodies? That's bullshit.
Note the bolded passage. If one dresses like a criminal, is it not unreasonable for people not to be suspicious until they interact with that person?
Quote
As for how Martin spoke BACK to GZ after DZ confronted him: you need to have a grown-up understanding of group psychology as influenced by group history. In the US, there is a long, long history of black people, especially men, being presumed to be criminals just because they're walking down a public street in a neighborhood where they look "out of place". And you know what? - as a group, they are sick to death of it; and now, in the post civil rights era, they're conditioned, and teach their children and grandchildren, not to take that kind of shit any more, just because someone thinks they look like a "nigger out of place".
GZ wasn't a cop, and didn't ID himself as a cop. He was just some total stranger in civilian clothes asking questions about who TM was & what he was doing. Well, he was walking down the street, as he had the right to do. Sure, TM could have answered politely; but why should he be morally required to? Another perfectly appropriate answer to this total stranger civilian GZ was that it was none of his fucking business, and that's what TM told him. That's not acting like a thug; that's a person walking down the street reserving the same that right you and I reserve: to tell total strangers who get in our face to mind their own business.
It's within their right, but only escalates suspicion more and does nothing to defuse it.
Can understand that certain races have received more suspicion than others, but if they ever do want it to stop, being civil will go a long way. Don't have to be polite, nice, or even answer any questions.
And everyone should realize that clothing choices can and will stereotype you to strangers.
It's sort of like when a group gets together for a peaceful protest and the police show up in riot gear. Starting a riot to spite them only proves their suspicion.
Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

You're still presupposing that wearing a hooded sweatshirt - impliedly by a black male in particular - is "dressing like a criminal". That's just bullshit.
My wife (who, like me, is white) occasionally wears a hooded sweatshirt. I don't see the mommas hidin' they chilluns when she walks down the street.

OK..so the pres could have been TM. But he wasn't. He should be talking about why he wasn't. What happened in his life that changed the outcome? That's what he should be focusing on.

Obama speaks out on Zimmerman verdict
http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/19/politics/obama-zimmerman/index.html?hpt=hp_t1#cnn-disqus-area
(CNN) -- President Barack Obama said Friday that "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago"
So, the president could have been a thug that attacked GZ...nice.
"history of racial disparity in our criminal laws"
Umm...perhaps a history of racial disparity in the enforcement of our laws.
the government should review some state and local legislation, such as Florida's "stand your ground" law, saying they may promote rather than discourage violent confrontations.
SYG wasn't part of this case or trial. Get a fuckin' clue.
Filthy racist scumbaggery rears it ugly head.
As is pointed out repeatedly by other posters in this thread, TM had the right to walk through the neighborhood UNMOLESTED. A grey hoodie does not a thug make, unless you are a racist scumbag. The fact that you identify a black male wearing a hoodie as a thug clearly shows the bias that you share with Zimmerman.
Zimmerman should have been convicted based on the FACT that, by getting out of his car and following Martin, AFTER he has already called the police, that action puts Zimmerman as the aggressor. The fact that Florida's laws are so poorly written so as to allow a thug like Zimmerman to follow confront, and then shoot an unarmed person who he picked a fight with, is disgusting to most people. The maggots who think that Zimmerman was justified will hopefully rot in hell for their outrageous beliefs. God WILL punish them, in a just universe.
Obama is not perfect. He was, by far and away, the superior candidate in both of the elections that he won. The racist bullshit that has been slung his way by the racist scumbags that make up the right wing conservatard movement is shameful. Shame, a concept that is completely incomprehensible to the 'tards.

Well it depends there's drunk: everything is funny and fun. Then there's drunk: you're on the floor hugging your dog telling her she's the only one that loves you.
Not that I'm familiar with that drunk.

Well, it's not just the hoodie. It's bragging on Facebook, and carrying Skittles, and visiting his relatives. I mean, really, who other than criminals visit their relatives without being forced to?

Well, we all know what you can make with skittles.
Don't forget the slim jim either.
Or the attack on a person just walking in public.
Or his history of fighting.
Or his history of theft.
Or his history of dealing with stolen goods.
Or his friend saying she thinks he started the fight too.
Because the other dude was a "creepy ass cracker"
See where the racism perspective started there?
but don't let the possibility of that distract you

It's already been reported TM was into Mixed Martial Arts. He broke Z's nose.
What Liberals need are broken noses. Perhaps then they'll understand the meaning of assault.
The President should not second judge the jury in the case. Entirely inappropriate.

billvon>Prepare for SHTF, coming to a city near you.
Still angry over the lack of riots in Florida? There's a lot of republicans out there very disappointed that blacks did not live up to republican's image of them.
Very wrong. We'd like minorities to act like civilized human beings. Not do drugs. Work. And stopping feeding off the government. 4 young black men got shot in SE DC this week and DC has the highest crime rate. Why don't you do down to DC and help the poor black guys get it together with your liberal ideas. Make sure you have back up.
