The fact that an individual truly thinks the only racist comments are those that are directed at their race alone (presumably what RJ believes as to her knowledge of racial slurs) gives them no credibility. She can't read, she has no clear definition of racism, so how can she testify to the belief of racial profiling? She has no credibility, and was not present for the conflict. All of it is circumstantial and leaves reasonable doubt Didn't say you were white. And the reason one would make a statement that the "cracker" comment was not racist has very little to nothing to do with the race of the person making that statement and every thing to do with the race that has institutional power to reinforce ones prejudices. She can read and actually speaks 3 languages. She does however, not read cursive. She was an ear witness and her testimony is valid as such. | ||

well, he thought trayvon was a burglar, and technically, trayvon previously was "suspended" for burglary. so, maybe, zimmerman did know trayvon. | ||

That can only mean I have knowledge of just white culture. How can it be that with those statements you believe I am anything other than white? 3 languages? Really? Which languages are those? English, Broken English, and ebonics? I don't know anyone that can't tell what cursive words actually say. Not recognizing that "creepy ass cracker" is a racial comment in and of itself leaves absolutely no credibility in deciding what is racist and what is not racist. We have an eye witness placing Martin on top of Zimmerman. That goes much further than a girl on the phone that has no idea of what "racism" is thinking she heard GZ start the conflict. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

"Perhaps you are unfamiliar with non-white culture" presuming you understand what those words mean it is clear your first statement is woefully inaccurate. English, Spanish, and Creole actually, this statement demonstrates your bigotry. Plenty of people who deal with handwriting on a daily basis would tell you not being able to read cursive writing is incredibly common (one of the reasons you have to print on most important documents.) Again there are common operating understandings of racism in which the "cracker" comment can logically and reasonably be demonstrated to not be racist. Finally the eye witness has no relevant testimony regarding the initiation of combat. | ||
