If the tables were turned and it was a blackman that did the shooting killing a white boy in a hoodie itwould be wrong right . The black man would not have got bail.

How would you know? That story wouldn't even have made news outside of the city it happened in....Because it happens everyday. Blacks kill each other all the time and nobody cares, but when a "white" man kills one, it is automatically racist and an outrage.

If it doesn't matter, why did the family get a PR person to put out the incorrect information?

https://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...thank-him.html

Pointing out people have been duped by a false narrative isn't attacking the family. I mentioned this today because there have been numerous posts in the last couple of days about Trayvon getting candy for his "brother."

I think the CDC should declare an epidemic of Trayvonhysteria, a new contagious mental illness whose symptons include irrational thoughts such as thinking the correct "defense" to being followed is to double back and start punching the follower in the face.
A few years back I saw someone drop a checkbook on the ground. I had to follow him for a couple of blocks and even called to him. He heard me and kept walking. I had to run to catch up with him and he seemed a little irritated until I handed him the checkbook, and then he thanked me. I'm glad he didn't suffer from Trayvonhysteria or I may have had a fight on my hands.

I suspect when this trial starts if it ever does, there will be even more debate on who is delusional
We have a politically motivated prosecutor and a bunch of racist thugs trying to make a deal out of a bad deal.
I find it laughable the statements made by travons parents attny that if this was the other way around black on bottom shooter that there would have been an immediate arrest. Well you got your arrest and I suspect that is all you will get.
We all, you included, have a right to protect your person and your property yes even black folk and that is the real upside down of it. Preach on!

Please reply to a post properly on this board. I do not appreciate it when someone changes my original post. I believe that posting inside another comment is against the TOS. Thank you.

Refer to the earlier questions in this thread - "Do you know how the legal system works in this country?"

Why yes, we do.

Trayvon's mother and father have been divorced since 1999 according to media. Are you saying that his father was married to someone else, which is why you referred to his girlfriend/fiancee as his "mistress."

Also my dad had a girlfriend with 3 daughters and I considered all of them my sisters. I still do and my dad is no longer with their mother but to me they will always be my sisters. A lot of black people consider people who aren't their relatives, yet they have a special connection with that person to be a certain relation. I have plenty of "play" cousins and aunts and uncles. My husband has a whole second family full of cousins, aunts, uncles, even grandparents that are not related to him. He calls his them "aunt/uncle" so and so or "grandma" and "grandpa" and refers to them as such to everyone.
