You know what drives me to rage? Not just the fact that Trayvon was killed, but the fact that it is ALL over every news outlet simply because it was a white man killing a black teen. What is the purposeother than to feed the flames? Further, since I have intentionally ignored most all coverage by constantly flipping the channel, what details do we all really know? Are we sure Trayvon wasn't doing something suspicious? Zimmerman admitted to the shooting, but do we know if he had a reason to be so suspicious of Martin? It seems the mad rush of our media was to immediately paint Zimmerman as racist, paranoid and crazy.
I am MORE OUTRAGED over the story out of Kansas City where a 13 yr old White boy was followed home, assaulted and LIT ON FIRE by two BLACK boys who were reported as saying "this is what you deserve white boy". Yet this gets NO NATIONAL media attention. No access on "Inside Edition". No lawyers on TV press conferences. No celebrity support. No Facebook flooding. It has been ignored or buried for over two weeks, and now the sheriff there REFUSES to acknowledge that it was a hate crime!
if it had been two whites lighting a black 13 yr old on fire we would NOT BE able to turn on a tv without seeing Jesse Jackson or Rev Al calling for everything but riots.
Exactly - agreed 100% - it is wrong BOTH ways! There should be as much anger over the incident in KC as the one in Florida, but the media knows that most people won't get up in arms about the situation in KC. It is just another piece of news... however, the incident in Florida is used, because it does incite all kinds of people to rise up and riot, and give the media more to talk about. It is just sad.... all of it!
My x wife is half Ukrainian/half Russian.here in the states we walked into a Ukrainian owned grocery store and they said some mean things to her in Russian. racism is still here today.White/white ok.
skin color means nothing/ orgin means nothing they just want to dislike you ok.
I thank GOD for America.
I thank GOD for the Federal government, at times, the only recourse for the American minority.
John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Now was america created by man or by god?
Now which is prone to corruption, things made by man or god?
The flesh knows nothing of the spirit and the spirit knows nothing of the flesh.
Why would you thank god for the federal government when the federal government is the reason for the downfall of this america? (Now don't take this as an opportunity to try to argue politics with me cause I wont do it. I view the whole idea of trying to change a world that was predestined to be destroyed by implementing politics and the like as ridiculous as playing jenga and expecting the blocks to never fall) Look at rome then look at us. ILLUMINATI ILLUMINATI ILLUMINATI (okay I I'm done. If you haven't figured out my views of politics so far then let me clear it up... It's not my bag. I also feel that if we as christians felt that the bible we studied was right, we would have no need to even be involved in politics for we would believe that god would give us all sustenance and order and we would also believe that all the things that are going on are going on to fulfill prophecy and that it's not going to do anything but get worse and the best thing we can do is spread the gospel before the ways of this world traps everyone :P)
And for those who want to say god appointed politics.. thats true.
God puts those that are in power.. in power... but that doesn't mean he is doing it for our good or that we should follow them blindly.
Romans 9:21
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
I really hope I didn't make everyone super offended by that.. its just an outlook try not to "stone" me for it please.

Excellent post.
I try not to "argue" about politics. At times, it may come across thay way. But, it's certainly not my intent. I just like to try and understand one's position(s). Even that can be a challenge at times.
I vote according to what I've researched and match it against my conscience, all the while knowing God will have His perfect will and way regardless of what us know-it-alls think...
Does Hispanic on Black racism have a long history? I don't recall it being a huge problem in the past, though I know the gangs have always paired off by races.

In the context of I Samuel 8, you bet. Since we've already done this a couple times, let me paraphrase for you--
"An earthly king will make you their slaves, and I (God) will not even listen to your whining in that day. Go ahead, Sam, listen to the idiots, and give them a king."
Considering the number of similar 911 calls the shooter had made BEFORE this incident, I think racism is a HUGE factor--as well as possible mental illness. Paranoid and delusional anyone?

Yes, this seems to be a travesty of justice but once Sharpton and Jackson are through anything less then a death sentence for the perp will result in rioting and a hundred thousand Air Jordan shoes being stolen from the surrounding malls.
I'm not a fan of Sharpton or Jackson but this is not the biggest high profile case in the past decade of racial injustice and they DO NOT all end in riots or violence.
I do not believe this case will end up that way. Even though I think there's certain pundits on BOTH sides that would love it to end up that way.
