Neighborhood watch killer was not racist

Post by _DarkHelmet »

The neighborhood watch guy who killed Trayvon Martin was not motivated by race. He used the word "coon", but he was most likely referring to Trayvon Martin's lineage not his race, so it's OK.

On a tape of one of Zimmerman's 911 calls the night of the shooting, he is heard saying under his breath what sounds like "f**ing coons." Seconds later he confronted Martin and after a brief scuffle shot him dead.

Exactly. He wasn't judging the boy by the color of his skin, only his African lineage. Ergo, no racist.

How many times do you guys need to be told...?

The black skin was just the sign of the curse of the lineage of the less valiant righteous souls who weren't quite as ready for the Priesthood as the whities were prior to 1978.

Now we just don't know what the reason for the lineagist policy was, but it's behind us so I hope the c***s are going to shut up about it.

People who hate Mormons only hate them because of their heritage. So it's not religious bigotry.

If I am not mistaken, I have read the the shooter was hispanic. Racism is not just white/black. It crosses racial lines and is part and parcel of american life.

I would appear that there is some doubt to the facts as you've presented them.

How unusual.

Hoops comes in to crap on another thread, contributing no information or argument, only vague snark.

That's true, but this wasn't even a racist act.
