34. pretense and convoluted thinking are hallmarks of the racially offended

they bring up all kind of crap to justify their RAGE about the attention Trayvon Martin got and is getting...it offends them. instead of being offended by the media coverage, perhaps they should be offended by the wannabee cop murdered who killed a kid in cold blood. even the reason why zimmerman claims he killed martin smacks of racism: i was scared but you had a gun, asshole...why would you be so with a loaded weapon. racism and racists don't make any sense...whatsoever.
