[/b][color=red][/color][b]With all this Trayvon outrage, where is the outrage over the recent black-on-white hate crime that happened in my hometown of Kansas City, Mo., (actually I live in a burb) where two 16-year-old African-American boys beat up a 13-year-old white boy and set him on fire, stating that’s what he deserved as a “white boy.”

Hate crimes are not limited to any one race, religion or culture.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

They are only advertised by the national media and politicians when they occur to a minority, be it Religious, sexual or racial.

If the two criminals who set this boy on fire were known to the police... and admitted that they did set him on
fire... and yet were not arrested... (sorta like Zimmerman)... then I would be just as outraged at the police
for their lack of action.

the race baiting civil rights "leaders" and politicians who whip the masses into a frenzy, are not.

Sure, they're included... BTW, which one is Democrat hero Robert Byrd? But,lets face it, their influence died in the 1950's and 1960's..only you lib's try build up something that's not there. They are looked at as a joke more than anything else and its another joke that they even come close to having the media coverage and effect on their targeted masses as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

The Big difference in these race baiters however is this; at least with the Klan, they are honest in what they want, they don't pretend to be interested in true racial equality.
Can you say the same for the other side? Like Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Monochrome coalition for example?

Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson, JESSE JACKSON!
He is one man.  He has a following but so does the KKK.
Jackson is one voice and he certainly doesn't represent Democrats, minorities or liberals... IMO he represents
himself.
As long as you have a pinata to pound in Jackson, you are absolved from looking into the issue of race...
just keep shouting "Jesse Jackson!"

OK... you want more?
Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, the NAACP, ...All either government officials that should know better or civil rights activists who make their living off of controversy.
WITHOUT going to Google, can you name ONE CURRENT leader of the KKK??? I thought so...
Can ANY of the 3 major network anchors? probably not... When is the last time the media even bothered to ask their opinion? The KKK is so insignificant in influence when compared to the people listed above they might as well be on Mars.

Nice try at diversion Box, we are talking about people who have commented about the Martin case, not groups that might...and even if they did, they'd be like the tree that falls in the forest with no one around.

The liberal nut cases need to create DRAMA to feel alive!! Race baiting is another attention getter! And a money maker might we add! And the last card they play when they  have lost with the other 51! Don't be too hard on them. They have no life of substance or a life beyond themselves. Only career DRAMA QUEENS that they derive a paycheck from!!

Poor bastards!

Tea Baggers!  Remember them? Did they make their fame by CONTROVERSY??? Bachmann, Beck, Palin, Dennis Terry,
Pat Robertson, Ann Coulter, The Koch Brothers, The NRA, Sheriff Joe Arpaio...
The KKK is now on the back burner, but racism is alive and well & living throughout the USA.j
When you mention the very real issue of RACE on this board, the first thing you will read is "Oh... The Race Card".

IMO Zimmerman shot Martin because of Race.  If Martin was a white 17 year old wearing a hoodie with a bag of
skittles, nothing would have happened.
Race In the USA does matter.

We are not talking about the above, again with the diversion. We are talking about the Martin case and the people who have fanned the flames about it
race....It sometimes matters, by not by default.
It was either dusk or dark when Zimmerman saw Martin... how far away was he  when he first saw him?
I looked at the 911 transcript and it took over a minute into the call for Zimmerman to confirm he was a black male. How long did Zimmerman wait after he first saw Martin to call 911?

An investigation will find this and other things out.

Build a case and then make an arrest. Not the other way around, that's how overcharging and acquittals happen.

There's not enough DRAMA with your way of thinking!
The crazies need to take out the pitchforks and follow mob rule!!!
They are nothing more than race baiter and drama queens!!
It's what they do....it's all they have!

For the rest of us who live in the civilized society.....we'll just wait until the investigation is over, when all the evidence is in!!

This issue didn't surface for a month after the killing.  If it hadn't been for the press... this killing would just
have been swept under the rug and forgotten.
