I think that I'll start a new social club called Bubbas United - Charlie can be the treasurer and bouncer, if'n he'll take the job. DJ can be my veep for all of the obvious reasons (assasinations/ black ops etc.) Press relations and secretary positions are still open. I wonder what D's hourly rates are cause there might be labor issues involved?

So I'm a racist for pointing out the obvious? Nice fellas, really really nice.

I didn't say anything about racism.

It would seem to me that some folks have become so conditioned to react to allegations of racism, that they do it now, even when none have been lodged.

[piece-itpete]

Not specifically that. It seems that if one thinks this whole thing is racially driven (it is), they are either not um aware of race in this country, are active racists, or are wrong because minorities should be outraged.

Pete, are you saying that you believe Trayvon was not targeted because he was young, black and wearing a hoodie?

[piece-itpete]

No. I don't claim to know. But if this was black on black or white on white (or hispanic on hispanic for that matter) we probably wouldn't have heard about it.

Correct. Because in all three of those scenarios it is remotely possible, but highly unlikely that race would be a motivating factor.

Not too many people shoot each other because they hate their own kind.

That is where the assumption, as incorrect as it may be at times, arises from.

Ya see Pete, I am willing to bet that had the kid had been white and was dressed as a skater he would still be alive.

I don't think Zimmerman hates all blacks and was out to "get one." I think Travon simply fit Zimmerman's mental image of a hoodlum so he stalked him and things went wrong.

Oh, and yeah. If I was backing Zimmerman I'd stay out of this thread as best I could also because there is not much to say.

[piece-itpete]

I think we're in agreement. I've said it before but until further facts become clear I'm out :-)

"A Florida entrepreneur said he had sold out of gun range targets depicting a faceless, hood-clad figure holding an iced tea and a bag of Skittles meant to look like Trayvon Martin."

A bunch of sick bitches in FL I'd say.
