The fact that a skittles-toting teen was killed and the fact that the murderer has not been arrested is totally about race.


I'm not disagreeing that race played a heavy role in the shooting. I'm just saying that had that NOT been in a gated community, this wouldn't have happened.

But because it was in a gated community, shit like racism is ALLOWED to fester so that Zimmerman probably built himself up into thinking that he is the law of that particular corner of the universe and the kid had the "audacity" to be an unknown element in Zimmerman's universe.

In any other typical neighborhood that isn't blocked off from the rest of the world, you get used to the idea of people who look different walking by every so often. The guy would still probably be a racist asshole, but he wouldn't have felt empowered to "lay down the law" to the poor kid.

Also, if it wasn't in a gated community, I guarantee you that he would have been arrested.

How do you think racism starts in the first place? The unknown is feared. The rest of the world eventually has to face that unknown, but when you're gated off, you never have to, and racism is allowed to happen.

I am a little rusty people, is that blatant racism itself or what ? Or is that just a fucking douchebag thing to say ? Puting a sarcasm shroud around that doesnt detract from the sentiments it portrays. Like I said I am not sure.

@everyone

heh....even mall cops and neighborhood watch yokels can execute suspicious people without due process in America.

Is it bad that the only thought going through my head was "Did Ana Kasparian's boobs get bigger?"


"bad" is so subjective.

Is it bad that the only thought going through my head was "Did Ana Kasparian's boobs get bigger?"

I would like to touch Ana Kasparian's leg

Did Ana Kasparian grow a beard?

But who is sitting next to him? is it Ana Kasparian?


I don't know. I only recognized Cenk.

But who is sitting next to him? is it Ana Kasparian?

This is muddle-headed bullshit by Ana Kasparian pretending to think about "serious issues" and trumpeting her E-Z Pik Progressive Opinion: that she's outraged by the awfulness of the War on Drugs only because blacks are getting arrested too much (and that she doesn't think taking drugs is a crime). Look how puffed up she gets, pausing for effect after repeating the statistic about more blacks in U.S. prisons today than there were slaves in (just to pick a date) 1850.

Says it all, doesn't it?

Anyone who watches the Young Turks when Ana is talking knows she is judgmental as hell. She normally advocates the harshest prison sentences, likes the work of Child Protective Services and wouldn't promote anything she didn't truly believe in — not even for (really) "a billion dollars." So you can believe her when she tells you Kim Kardashian's thighs are fat!

Cenk is clearer that the WoSD is the true problem and that poverty — not race — is the salient factor in who *does time* (as opposed to whatever Ana is officially pissed-off about) — that the results are cruel for everyone. I thought that might be why he tells the story of a (presumably white) Montana dude facing life for passing a bong in his car, except he makes a point of agreeing that the guy did do something wrong.

Ana rounds out her simulacrum of thought-provoking opinion by noting the injustice of blacks getting arrested for drug crimes even though violent crime statistics have been trending downward in urban areas. Sounds heavy. Dunno why exactly ...

Still, two and a half million people in cages across the USA rejoice to hear their story is finally being told and eagerly await Ana's future Social Studies Presentations. Upcoming Topics will include: "What is the Proper Speed Limit on the Interstate?", "Is Capital Punishment Bad?", and "Euthanasia, School Uniforms, Gun Control and Test Tube Babies: What I think for less than $ 1 billion"
