ldsfaqs, I'm curious: what percentage of African Americans is your city of residence?

Funny, cuz I live in a city of over 800,000, and for 10 years I (I=an old white guy) took a city bus to my graveyard (midnight) job in the poorest, blackest part of town.

Other than one night when one drunk kept asking me if I was Jewish, no problems. Were there drunks and junkies who created problems? Yeah, occasionally. But nothing directed at me.

But far more common were the polite nods and smiles you make with someone you see night after night. The same person getting on at the same stop. Going home. Going to work. Tired. Courteous pleasantries:

"Didn't see you last week. Were you on vacation?"
"Went to my sister's in Louisiana. Had a great time."
"Happy to be back at Target?"
(Rolling her eyes) "Oh yeah, I just couldn't stay away."

And ldsfaqs, I looked many of these Negroes in the eye and they looked back at me, and yet I lived to tell the tale.

Black people will attack you for looking at them? Jews aren't white?

Holy mother of God.

Well, that's odd. I spent virtually all of my teen years in East Coast schools with a much larger black population than white, and never once was I beat down for looking at any black schoolmate, or group of them.

If this has happened to you, it's probably because they disapproved of your hootching with strange men in tents, or the plagiarism, or the incessant lying, or your downloading of porn from school servers.

Agree. Wish he could show the maturity and control of his personal body and emotional impulses of say, Bill Clinton! That would be a standard that would keep him out of the media spotlight as Slick Willy has set the standard for young men.


Monica Lewinsky was a consent adult. This young woman was not.

If it wasn't for his impulse control problems we wouldn't know who he or Travon are, and we would have one less dead person in the world.

Actually you should be attacking Travon Martins "impulse control".

Zimmerman had every right to shoot Martin when he was getting his head slammed into the concret by Martin when all Zimmerman did was keeping an eye on Martin for the cops. Even IF Zimmerman said something for which there are no witnesses to that part, it doesn't JUSTIFY getting potentially beaten to death. But, clearly somehow in the warped liberal mind it's "okay" to go around betting people up for looking at you, and you have no right to defend yourself even with deadly force, because after all, being beat up results in death all the time to people, yet the liberal thinks who cares, nobody has the right to shoot someone.

Woe unto those who call good evil and evil good.
Again, whatever flaw Zimmerman has in his personal life, doesn't change what happened that day which witnesses and crime scene evidence mostly and clearly backed up.

We know Travon was just walking home from the store. He did not act suspiciously and Zimmerman had no reason to follow and make Travon feel his life was threatened. If it wasn't for Zimmerman's impulse problems there never would have been an altercation.

1. Actually we do know Travon was acting suspicious according to Zimmerman and police audio etc.

2. Zimmerman was watching Trayvon from a distance. Trayvon CHOSE for his lack of impulse controls to attack Zimmerman.

See..... What you don't get, is Neighborhood watch people, police, and just the average citizen, if they see something, they WATCH people all the time.
Yet, in your warped liberal mind, all those people watched should feel "threatened" and then they should attack the watchers.

Forget what you "believe" about Zimmerman and his own personal issues.
People DO what Zimmerman did all the time, and it's perfectly harmless. There is no "threat" watching people from a distance.

You can complain that nothing would have happened had Zimmerman not been watching the guy, but such is not illegal nor immoral.
It's something people do all the time.
It also happens all the time that in fact the person being watched IS in fact a criminal or planning a criminal act.

So, no matter what, Trayvon is who caused this, by choosing to cross a line.

Keep falsely blaiming Zimmerman, but the above facts debunk your ignorance.
