ignorant is as ignorant does

the greatest thing about human depravity is that if it comes from within you will not escape its grasp

racists marginalize their own lives based on fear they manifest in their own minds

in this model both victimized and victimize suffer all the same

many of you draw from the same well, fear driven minds trying to hold on to the shallow views your ego presents to you

for example talk of racism only begets racism if your racist

if talk about this guy potentially being racists bothers you? it begs the question of why? unless that part of him you identify with is to great for you to disassociate yourself from him

the racist in him is the racist in you
 
People read way too much in to things, not sure how that's any different than actually being a racist, if it even applies in this case.

I don't see color so it's difficult to understand as a motive.Couldn't the kid under the hoodie have been just about any ethnicity and the result have been the same? Who knows I guess.

racism aside, zimmerman is a straight up cold blooded killer.

most of us normal folks would've thought or felt something inside that i am about to do this kid wrong, before, we kill some young kid begging for help and/or his/her life..

zimmerman felt nothing..

White folks (am 1) are on the wrong end of the demographic trend lines in the US. While some of us think this is a good outcome, becoming the minority ourselves, many just become paranoid as fuck and so full of fear that they will do anything to protect their status and property.

heres the problem with that

based on his obsessive compulsive behavior already it was apparent he was trying hard to qualify someone as a perpetrator

he wasn't trying to identify potential suspects and disqualify their guilt via proper channels (as were his operating instructions as per the neighborhood watch and police)

aka innocent until proven guilty

if it had been someone who looked like it could be his own brother son cousin i doubt he would have tired to condemn them so hard

it was easy cause the kid was not the same as him not the same type of human apparently someone whose life it was easy for him to take

to even question the ease of which he manipulated the situation and pressed this young man so he could take his life imho makes you either very naive to human nature or naive to the breadth racism has effected your own perceptions

^this is bull shit an you and everybody else knows it.

What I am getting sick of is faux new ass holes and all their followers trying to twist the race argument. The backwords ass logic they try to portray by regurigating the same bullshit couple of sentences is absurd. It makes no sense.

They say you are the racist for bringing up race, even when their is obvious racism. Yes I am the racist for saying that zimmerman is racist after he called the black kid he murdered a coon, to a 911 operator, 2 minutes before he chased him down in a car, got out, and then murdered an unarmed black kid that was yelling for help and was smaller than him....... yes that makes me the racist.

It's like they are trying to use psychology but have never heard of Freud

bullshit?

how so

please spell it out

racism is a self restricting mindset

and being racist marginalizes the opportunities that lay outside of those who have the same perception

and if your sensitive to the label of racist then that speaks volumes as well

dont just call bullshit thats weak as fuck, point out the flaws in my logic if they are so apparent

ill am very willing to accept my own misgivings

if fear didn't drive the thoughts of so many people then so many people wouldn't get defensive over their perceptions regarding another persons actions

unless they identify with that person and project the judgement against that person onto themselves which then makes them defensive out of FEAR

because no one is judging you in the case of judging another

fear is the root of many thought processes people don't even bother to question because they simply have gone throughout life without doing so

How has this thread not been in violation of the TOU? It seems pretty politically/racially charged to me and has just brought up more arguing about something that has nothing to do with cannabis.

many people are also afraid of examining their own potential flaws because the ego perceives it as judgement

you can see it all ever the forums here painfully so when you learn to recognize it for what it is

if your ego is so shallow that you have the be the best to have self value you have yet to learn about discovering and embracing the humanity that exists outside of yourself

political is not racial racial is not necessarily political

racism loves to show its head here

dont be afraid of the concept

understand it for what it is and dispel its power with knowledge

if you cant be objective about your own shortcomings you cant over come them

After reading your further posts and realizing our earlier conversaions on Buddhism, I just realize I misunderstood you. It sounded like you agreeing with the Rush Limbaughs of this world. I was totally wrong. sorry. It seems you are approaching this from a Buddhist stand point. Where the whole idea is to separate your self from your ego before you die.

I am not sensitive to people calling me a racist. they can call me what they want.

The problem is a whole new class of idiots that dont know how racsit they are as you suggested.

This particular group of racist does not hate they just feel uncomfortable around minorities. Then bringing up race ever makes them uncomfortable because it might reveal their personal bigotries. so they defend other racist by falsely turning it around on the person who noticed the racism in the first place.

so other words you are right. it is about ego for some. a lot of these people I hate to say are Christians. they view themselves made in God's image and anyone who does not look like them is sub human. Even subconsciously. their ego is so huge that they are sensitive to anything perceived as a weakness being associated with them. Period.

meaning I dislike the people that just want to bury there head in the ground like an ostrich to hide from a lion then call people stupid for saying hey the lion is still in the bush idiots. Then they get pissed and defensive of their state of mind. they prefer to stay 100 percent in denial. It makes them comfortable, and they can not possibly talk about something that makes them otherwise.

It is ironic to me that reading through this thread is so reminiscent of reading the anti-mmj comments in the on-line version of my semi-local rag. If there was ever a group of people who understood being on the wrong the end of the publicity machine, you would think it would be us. Apparently we only need facts when they work to back up our own opinions. Luckily, I read yesterday that Jesse Jackson has cut short his trip to Europe in order to come back and soak up a little Trayvon-related publicity.

Interesting article out this morning:



Witness: Martin attacked Zimmerman

Updated: Friday, 23 Mar 2012, 6:19 PM EDT
Published : Friday, 23 Mar 2012, 5:47 PM EDT

ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.

The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.

Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.

What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.

The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.

It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.

Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.

And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.

But one man's testimony could be key for the police.

"The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.

Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.

The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.

His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman.

"When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.

Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.

Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.

Until Zimmerman is arrested and put on fair trial then people should not shut up.

It is clear Zimmerman started the confrontation. It is not self defense when you start the fight. Zimmerman has a history of over reaction. The kid was running and Zimmerman was chasing. If anything Treyvon was defending himself against Zimmerman's attack.

then zimmerman was probably losing so he bitched out and called for help. Acted defenseless and then shot, If the front of him was bloody and the back was grass stained it means he was hit from the front and fell on his back. Therefore he was not attacked as he went back to his car.

If the situation was that dire it would be to late for zimmerman to pull his gun which means the his crys of help would be a lie to provide an excuse to shoot.

I still think the woman's that said she heard a child calling for help was truthful though. Ithink Zimmerman just pushed him on the ground. Then treyvon Pushed back like anyone in that situation and then Zimmerman shot him because his ego was so big he could not be the watch captain and get beat up by a kid.

Zimmerman is a cowardice bitch no matter how you look at it. Even if he was losing a fight he started he should have taken the beating like a man..... and now he needs to take his Lethal Injection like one.

Close thread. :D

Apparently you can drive around and if you see someone you don't know you can go up to them confront them start shit with them and than shoot them if they defend themselves.


That isn't self defense.






Zimmerman started the confrontation plain and simple

turns out the kid was recently suspended from school


...and. I got suspended from school a lot. I mean a lot. they suspend kids for anything these days, in this new zero Torrance fascist society.
i'll give you a list of what they did just ten years ago to me personally. It is even worse now.

1. dying my hair green for saint patties day
2. bringing a skateboard.
3. showing up late 3 times in a row
4. a simple school yard fight
5. then a shirt that said legalize it with a picture of a skateboard on it. not even a pot leaf
6. then getting caught getting a b.j. behind the bleachers while skipping class on my birthday. Who am I to turn down a present.
7. smoking weed in the car at lunch.
8. standing up in a school anti drug assembly and telling the speaking FBI agent he was full of shit.
9. skipping state mandated tests.

oh the list goes on.

I never robbed anyone or did anything worth getting shot over. I sure as hell had a black hoodies and beanie and trench coat in the winter to keep warm while walking to school. Ass holes called the cops on me constantly, and it was annoying. fuck them, and their like minded. I have personal Beef with the Zimmerman's out there.
 
For either side to attempt to make a point is fruitless, it's how everyone ends up blind...an eye for an eye style.

I'm sure the zimmermans of the world will still be out there,just as some folks will always choose to view events in racial terms.

Without having witnessed events for myself I refuse to make such a broad,negative assumption.I still don't see the difference in naivety,or those that choose to make everything about race as opposed to what it really is.The media got over on most of you, or your predispositions on the issue did...lose/lose all around.
