Zimmerman - national attention is NOT because of racial profiling or 'Stand Your Ground' laws

8. Don't injest rationality in the conversation.

Most normal thinking people know the problem is that the Sanford police fucked up aside from the other issues at hand. It's the fact that a man was able to kill someone unarmed and move on with his life until there was an outcry from the public.

What people don't get in the case of all the other cases...Mainly the ones who want to show Black on White crime...is that in most if not ALL those cases the people who perpetrated the crime are taken into custody or searched for to be brought to justice. In most of the time they are caught with a quick, given no bail, and await their trial in prison. However...In the Trayvon Martin case the guy got 20 or so minutes and he was out.

I hate to quote Joe Scarborough on this, but he has a clue and he said it...If Zimmerman was a Black man and Trayvon Martin was a White Kid....SYG would never come into play that man would be in prison right now and would never have seen the light of day.

This is the problem with the justice system. Justice herself may be blind...but the people working for her are not. And the laws that work under her are even more racist than the people that execute the laws. But will this ever be understood by those who defend Zimmerman. Who perpetuate the Black on White cases as though they are perfectly comparable.

It reminds of the Madrigal v Quilligan case of the 1970s in regards to Latina women and sterilization. The Supreme Court dismissed the case because they cited...well just as many Black women as White Women were sterilized so the actions were not racist. How in the fuck is that a logical conclusion? Since White women make up 30% or so of the population and Black women just 5% ---that would mean Black women were highly sterilized and the claim actually supported Madrigal.

Why am I suggesting this? It's the false equivalence of the entire situation.
