Shocking that racism is disproportionate.

Wut?

Wut?

Read the report. More black people felt racism was a problem than white people. Shocking, really.

If it's not surprising, why the need to point it out?

So being a victim of discrimination is a bigger problem than the possibility someone else might be a victim? Who would have thought it??

Sounds like Slim is trying to imply a stereotype about black people.

Interesting revelations in the story of what happened the night Zimmerman shot and killed Martin.

ABC News is reporting that a 16-year-old girl spoke on the phone with Trayvon Martin just before he was killed, and she said Martin was evading the pursuer who would eventually kill him. She told her story to the network:

"He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man," Martin's friend said. "I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run but he said he was not going to run."

Eventually he would run, said the girl, thinking that he'd managed to escape. But suddenly the strange man was back, cornering Martin.

"Trayvon said, 'What, are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again and he didn't answer the phone."

The line went dead. Besides screams heard on 911 calls that night as Martin and Zimmerman scuffled, those were the last words he said.

Trayvon's phone logs, also obtained exclusively by ABC News, show the conversation occurred five minutes before police first arrived on scene.

and this....

Benjamin Crump, the attorney for the family of Trayvon Martin, held a press conference Tuesday releasing further details about the purported final cellphone conversation between Martin and a girlfriend just before Martin died. "She completely blows Zimmerman's absurd self-defense claim out of the water," he told the assembled reporters. "Arrest George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin in cold blood today."

According to Crump, Tracy Martin—Trayvon's father—worked with his cellphone service provider on Sunday evening to determine the final phone call his son had received before being shot dead by George Zimmerman. That led him to the 16-year-old girl, who reluctantly offered an affidavit detailing the contents of her conversation with Trayvon. She was "traumatized...beyond anything you can imagine," Crump said in a long and far-ranging speech that sounded like a courtroom opening statement.

Crump related the girl's experiences, which were consistent with the ABC News rendering linked here. Her testimony, he said shows that Trayvon was "just a kid trying to get home and get out of the rain from the store," Crump said. "That's all. Nothing else."

The girl's final call to Trayvon lasted four minutes, Crump said. One minute after she and Martin were cut off, police were reportedly on the scene.

Crump then played a recording of the girl's statement and said he would forward it directly to state and federal investigators. The family, he said, "does not trust the Sanford Police Department in anything to do with the investigation."

and this...

When Trayvon Martin was killed, all he had were Skittles, iced tea...and a cellphone, authorities told the L.A. Times. The phone has been mentioned in multiple reports in recent days, and journalists and concerned citizens are starting to ask: Where is Trayvon's phone? Why did the police on the scene of the shooting not use it to identify Martin, or contact his next of kin? "Trayvon's body was bagged and taken to the morgue, where he was tagged as a John Doe," writes African American affairs blogger Sandra Rose. "No one contacted Trayvon's family even though police had Trayvon's cell phone in their possession."

Based on that evidence, Zimmerman's story doesn't add up.

Zimmerman has eyewitnesses that collaborate him. Hard to beat. Everything so far has pointed that very little of the opening story that broke stands up. This was no white supremacist that stalked and gunned down in cold blood a saintly black honor student.

[james&olya 1,121]

Not an EYEwitness but an EARwitness! If true, then Zimmerman is revealed to be a LIAR which would then lead to the conclusion he is also guilty of man-slaughter at a minimum!

You're overestimating the reliability of eye witnesses. This happened late at night, in the dark and in rain. The girl's testimony and phone conversation can be corroborated by the phone company. Her story makes sense. Zimmerman's doesn't. Zimmerman pursued Martin against the directions from the dispatcher. He pursued a man while packing a gun. That's not acting in self defense. That's vigilantism and illegal. You can't go out in your neighborhood brandishing your gun, looking for hoodlums and riffraff to run off and call that acting in self defense. Only pussies go around looking to win a fist fight by packing a gun.

Too bad that they are collaboraters! They might be guilty of conspiracy! Now if they could corroborate his story, instead of collaborate with him on how to beat the rap, he might have a chance even if a real investigation were to occur!

Freudian slip.

Zimmerman's guilt or innocence does not depend even a little on how saintly or scholarly his victim was. Murder is murder either way. And not all murderers are white supremacists! Probably not even a majority!

Then let the facts out. Before we were ready to hang this deranged white KKK cold blooded killer. Now we are learning a lot more. Two or three eyewitnesses say so far that Zimmerman was right. He has the injuries showing consistency. He had done this many times before also and was successful. Everything points to Zimmerman. The more we learn.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

If you listen to Zimmerman's 911 call, he continually draws conclusions about Martin based on his appearance, yet seemed oblivious to how his own presence was affecting Martin. It's not like Zimmerman was an invisible observer - Martin saw him and he saw that Zimmerman displayed a disturbing interest in him. So imagine if Martin was also a paranoid, gun-carrying poosy, and saw this Zimmerman guy staring at him in the dark from a distance, then running away from the guy, looking over his shoulder to see Zimmerman in pursuit. Hell, according to the gun-carrying poosy freaks, Martin had ample justification to blow the living sh!t out of Zimmerman and claim self defense. So there you have it, folks. Justice in the era of paranoid, gun-carrying pussies who think everyone is out to get 'em.
