I strongly believe that anyone who thinks racism only applies to some races is in fact racist.

Based on my interactions, I am having a hard time finding african americans who can objectively discuss this case. I think a lot of them are consumed by the racial issues - irrationally so. They can't make the affirmative case about the racial factor
I think the best answer I got was this weird counterfactual about what if Zimmerman was following a white girl.
God I am so angry at the freepass a lot of people are getting because they can hide behind race.

A lot of individuals are like that... ignorant. What really drives me nuts is seeing story after story by the media trying to bait people.
"Zimmerman to get his gun back!"
"Zimmerman smirks after verdict!"
"Martin's family in 'disbelief'!"
"Communities everywhere in shock, disgusted!"
It's just never ending. Mass media is quickly rising the ranks as most hated occupation in America, rightfully so.

God I am so angry at the freepass a lot of people are getting because they can hide behind race.
Same reason i cant stand "comedians" like Chappelle and Carlos Mencia.
You're not funny because you're a minority and ALLOWED to make racist jokes for people to laugh about.

I like Chappelle but not Mencia...but that's only because Mencia just isn't that funny and steals jokes, whereas Chappelle is hilarious. He isn't hilarious because he makes racist jokes and is a minority, he's hilarious because he says funny shit.

I strongly believe that anyone who thinks racism only applies to some races is in fact racist. Being anti-racist means youre anti-white So.. racist=white What an ironically racist thing to say.

Treat people the same, regardless of their race?
Oh, no, that's the worst kind of racism, because it doesn't take into account all the unique historical oppression of [insert racial group here] which makes it necessary to compensate them for past wrongs.

I'm white, and I would not care to see that on the news. It is an isolated case, and the group of people who caused the crime should be held responsible. Their motive could be anything as motive is just an excuse to commit a crime. Race is an excuse just like any other motive. There is no reason to try and get people emotionally invested in crime by preying on their predisposition to racial drama.
Also the Zimmerman Jury returned with a verdict in 24 hours. The decision was not hard. That in itself is telling.
Looking objectively, there was no case against Zimmerman to begin with. The state was not even going to bring Zimmerman to trial, until the media blew the case up, at which point they had to. All the arguments against Zimmerman are based in emotion, which is a weak foundation for a case.

Exactly, most insults are in fact directed from an inner insecurity. So if you know you treat people equally with no prejudice, then you will realize that the person who is calling you racist, is racist themselves. They are pinging you to receive your reaction.

I don't care to see it in the news either, just pointing out the double standard is all.
