afro dominican...what a ridiculous title..completely negates any sort of identifying we have to our island or hispanola...http://maxweber.hunter.cuny.edu/pub/eres/SOC217_PIMENTEL/dominicanidentity.pdfzimmerman doesn't look white..is skin color all you guys see? thats pathetic...Good for you, but you live in America. So does George Zimmerman and isn't that who we're discussing here?
Stop trying to avoid the obvious truth, sir. If you went into that police station and wrote down that you're white, they'd laugh your black *** out of that station. Zimmerman? Not so much.
and im not black.
The tribulations of blackness: stages in Dominican racial identity.
by Silvio Torres-Saillant
Racial identity and thinking in the Dominican Republic have been influenced by historical events
that occurred in Dominican society and culture. Observers have pointed out that, despite
widespread discrimination practiced in their country, Afro-Dominicans apparently refuse to
express pride in their identity. A deracialized consciousness has pervaded the Dominicans’
concept of race.
we're HISPANIC..period.
******g idiots shoving americanized vantage points down our throats and expect us to swallow that ****? **** outta here...

A system where justice is perceived as morally "correct" universally.
Can't happen.

this black/brown back and forth is a distraction tactic. people of color don't need to rise up anywhere, people of "power" need to acquiesce.

Yes, purely physical characteristics. As that is what some people go by first and foremost.

I can tell most of the people in this thread haven't had a physical altercation.
And I want to encourage those individuals to never have one.
Where I'm from if you aggressively confront someone and so much as touch them, they knocking your fronts down your throat.
And we all know Zimcoward grabbed Trayvon trying to be a tough guy.
And we all know Trayvon got in a solid BLOW to his nose.
I personally don't think it was a punch, and the DNA evidence supports that as well.
So for everybody claiming it was self defense, you are correct.
Trayvon Martin had every right to defend himself.
Unfortunately for young Trayvon the coward that profiled, stalked, and attacked him was a psychopath loser with a gun.
R.I.P. Trayvon Martin and all the victims of senseless violent attacks

These kids in the Fla governors office are an embarrassment.
Its way too obvious that they shouldn't be taken seriously.
The worst part is I know the guy in charge of it, Phillip Agnew. dude was cool at FAMU but he was a social climber, and he went from being a Marketing consultant to an activist within the last two/three years. I thought that was very cool of him until I saw he's just got kids fooling around playing the role of protester cause he convinced them its the cool new thing without actually educating them on government, political action, legislation, etc.

Of course he can have that freedom...but did you not see the name in my post that the state of Alabama holds in high regard like some savior or something?
You can think as free as you want, but don't ignore the inactivity of those in office who stood by idly while racism, and Jim Crow were the standards. Those in idleness were predominately Republicans.
Why do you think King, and all considered radicals hit up Alabama to fight against the oppression conditions rampant down there?
Why would you link up with that political party as a black man? Especially when you grew up within the same environment, and felt the effects firsthand?

Well at least you don't see yourself as white ninjahood, that's a start I guess. I just wasn't certain if you were thinking about going the Sammy Sosa route.i DONT..i get treated like a latino/hispanic.No you're not, but you really believe that you're not perceived as being black by many whites (and blacks, for that matter)?zimmerman doesn't look white..is skin color all you guys see? thats pathetic...Good for you, but you live in America. So does George Zimmerman and isn't that who we're discussing here?

Put race aside for a second. It has nothing to do with "equality" and everything to do with one's own definition of what justice is.
So what do you say about Europeans Irish/Italian/German/Greek/etc that have darker features than people with Hispanic lineage?

Step outside of Da Heightz and NYC and hit up some smaller town in upstate NY. You'll be looked at as black, more than likely.
I'm not saying it's right, but it is what it is. That's America.
Just because it doesn't happen in YOUR corner of the world doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

There's racial discrimination and there's racial prejudice.
Racial discrimination is the act of denying a person based on race or creed.
Racial prejudice is a persons belief system as it relates to other races, commonly referred to as a "racist".

isnt that what the courts are supposed to be for? defining justice for us equally.
one's own definition of justice = vigilantes, anarchy, GZ

i would say what you call racial discrimination is the institutionalized racism, that is racism that effects the avenues of social/commercial/etc.
racial prejudice is what ill call "localized" racism, the thoughts, beliefs, and actions other those individuals that are within the "institution" of racism.
