It's only racism when the victim is Black and the other person is White and it doesn't matter if Federal law enforcement investigations can find no evidence for racial motivation. But yet we're asked to look the other way when three Black teens beat the crap out of a White boy. Somehow they get a pass by the "Racially Tolerant" folks because, after all, a White kid did turn in three Black teens for trying to sell him drugs, (and it's only racism if the victim is Black).(August 8, 2013 at 8:42 am)A Theist Wrote: Perhaps, and Trayvon was shot because he was beating the shit out of Zimmerman. But still there's a racial issue being made out of that one even after an FBI investigation found no evidence of racism with Zimmerman. If this had been an instance of three White teens beating up a Black youth there would have been a nationwide outcry and accusations of White racism by so-called civil-rights leaders...
BTW, what do you think of Maelstrom's reply? Do you agree with his comment,
Do you agree with Maelstrom that "the white boy most likely deserved" getting beat up the way he was?
Would Trayvon Martin have been viewed as suspicious by Zimmerman if he were white?
Probably not.
Would Trayvon Martin have been followed by Zimmerman if he were white?
Probably not.
Would Trayvon Martin have been shot if he were white?
I'm not sure.
Maelstrom's reply?
In the view of the attackers, the boy earned their ire by turning them into authorities. Did the boy do wrong? Nope, but that's not what Maelstrom said and neither here nor there. The attackers certainly thought he deserved to be beaten, but that, in all likelihood, had nothing to do with his race and a lot to do with disciplinary actions they were facing because of the boy's actions. I don't believe ANYONE deserves to be beaten, but these kids certainly thought so.
