da second i seen zimmerman i knew i was from south america... unlike americans, da rest of da world doesn't see da world in just black and white.

bottomline is da zimmerman is not guilty because of self defense, his injuries were shown as being sustained from being under trayvon martin.

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.

zimmerman doesn't look white..is skin color all you guys see? thats pathetic...

and im not black.

No you're not, but you really believe that you're not perceived as being black by many whites (and blacks, for that matter)?

i DONT..i get treated like a latino/hispanic.

only on NT is this some sort of taboo issue.

when i log off and go outside its business as usual.

And herein lies the problem, ninja.  You rarely get outside of YOUR world.  

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.

sounds like you're giving excusing for people to be ignorant of culture, in NYC which is rich with multiculturalism i dont have a problem

with people understanding that im latino/hispanic. i dont need to change, people need to adapt...america has always been wack overall cuz of that,

thank god NYC doesn't represent da rest of america.
Click to expand...
which pretty much takes away from any other point you've tried to make in this thread

yes NYC is rich with multiculturalism....

MOST OF AMERICA doesnt see it that way.

The worst incidences of blatant racism I've experienced were when I was living in So Cal....and in Australia which was weird...they hate Mexicans there.

the aboriginees would like a word.

Trust me, that was unreal there too.  Just hundreds of Aboriginees lining every street corner.

Funny story:

I'm with my buddy at a bar in Darwin, Australia.  My buddy is Italian, but he's kinda dark, and lives in So Cal, so he occasionally gets mistaken for Mexican.

The bartender walked up to me and whispered in my ear, "Hey, your friend isn't Mexican is he?"

I reply "Nah he's Italian, why?"

to which the bartender responds, "Well if he's Mexican he's not allowed in here"
 
Aborigines received blankets already infected with smallpox right?

I don't think the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

no im what im saying is looking back over this case from the very beginning when TM left his house to go to 7-11, until now, that there is a reasonable doubt as to whether or not race (of TM or GZ) has played a part in any of this?

Thanks for the illustration of pictures.  I would say out of the 12 pictures posted a vast majority of individuals listed would fit into the "complexion for the protection for the collection" phrase.

Over half are of "hispanic" descent. Are you saying the darker Irish person would be discriminated against but the Mexican ginger would be safe under that phrase?

That's the underlying issue with this case and the thousands of others in this country that involve African American men.
Debating the letter of the law is futile, when those laws aren't applied equally.
And there are thousands of examples of laws being applied unequally solely based on race.
The person that killed that white kid yall keep posting is in jail.
George Zimmerman's coward a** is a free man, and probably getting ready to resume his MMA training so he can learn how to punch.

I personally believe it has. There's no concrete evidence though.

what evidence (besides the submitted dead body) would it take or should it take?

its like we as black people have to go above and beyond just for this **** man...

imagine if this same event took place somewhere else...

GZ is just a dude at mall lookin at people...

he sees TM and thinks he is a shoplifter...

he follows him all thru the mall on his scooter...

calls the real security guards, they tell him stay on the cart we're on our way...

he jumps off the cart, grabs TM and says "HEY! STOP!"....

TM snaps, GZ shoots and kills him....

you mean to tell me in a case like that, GZ should go free cuz this is not about race?

^thats not even a good example because security guards have MORE authority than shoppers..GZ HAS NO AUTHORITY NONE NONE NONE 000000

Maybe not Canelo really but the Irish person could possibly pass.

I hear Fat Joe use the N' word regularly, he must be racist as hell now

But seriously.  The word cracker doesnt have anywhere near the impact, or the negative history behind it that the N' word does, so please, lets not act like its the same thing
Click to expand...

Like blacks were going around calling a group of people cracka while in turn whipping, molesting, and being downright abusive with no regard for their humanity. Like cracka denotes human chattel...not even. 

Nah...cracka doesn't even have the same reach as ******. 
Click to expand...

I'm saying. Some people love to act like these 2 words carry the same weight.
