and riots and protests break out. Jessie (the blackmailer) Jackson calls for a new trial, even some dumb@$$ whites protest. But O.J. Simpson murders two whites and gets acquitted and no one says a word. Why?

I think OJ did it. Honestly, I know many black people that feel like OJ should have been found guilty.

They said plenty of words. I specifically remember hearing ”We finally got one of ours off”

They sure were quiet about it.

I'm sure that there's a whole rash of imams that deplore militant Muslim violence too, but they all seem to come down with organized, sudden-onset laryngitis whenever an overzealous extremist blows himself on a bus or at a US checkpoint.
Virtually all of this can be attributed to a clash of CULTURES, not of races. Not everyone participating in the larger discussion wants to focus on that. Why? Because to admit that it's a cultural problem strips away the victimization. You can't change the family you're born to, or the skin you inhabit. You can choose as an individual to take responsibility for your own trajectory, however. When you do that, you strip the power from ANYONE who tries to keep you beholden to them. There's your "free at last."

I agree that it's a cultural rather than racial. But we have a powder keg with the differences in culture. Black kids have at least a 75% chance of being raised in a single-parent home. I'm not saying that some single-parents can't do the job. I'm just saying that, at that rate, the odds aren't great. That's why the graduation rate for blacks is so low, and the likelihood of a criminal record is so high. Read the paper or watch the news and it's full of crime by 18-25 year-olds blacks.

True enough. The basic tenet of the American experiment is that everyone should have the same *opportunity* to do be the best at whatever fires their soul, not that it guarantees everyone the same circumstances. Big difference.

No one said a word after OJ? Some people celebrated like the Lakers won when OJ was acquitted. Some of the same people protesting the Trayvon Martin verdict were probably celebrating the OJ verdict years ago.

Currently there are more white people in jail than any other ethnicity. But based on percent of population the race with the highest percentage in jail are blacks almost 7 times the percentage as whites.

Pleas don't dilute the argument by cutting through the bullshite and going straight to the core of the matter. There's no money to be made by looking inward.

I think OJ did it but it was self defense. He was going over to pick up some jeans that he left over her house when Goldman and Nicole attacked him. OJ had the right to stand his ground. Now that sound just as stupid as you people who think Martin ran away from Zimmerman, and all in a sudden he decided to go back because Zimmerman was white and whip his azz with the concrete.

You need to tone your trolling down. It's not subtle at all.

Can somebody please explain why people keep saying that Zimmerman should not have got out of his vehicle instead of saying Trayvon should not have turned around and approached Zimmerman? I mean the guy broke no law by following him and even though the 911 operator told him that "they didn't need him to follow Martin", I mean if Martin just kept walking home would we be talking about this?

Would you go to your house if someone was following you? Leading them to your 13 yr old sibling??.

Our cultural problems are so much bigger than this case.
Martin and Zimmerman were on a path to this tragedy. There was no avoiding it (Trayvon was essentially defending himself. I dont know anyone in their right mind who would have continued home in that situation).
However, Trayvon defending himself is also known as assault. And Zimmerman didn't break any laws.
This situation was unavoidable.
All of that said... there wasn't anything racially or culturally motivated in this incident. Yet 99% of the discussions, blogs, and message boards keep bringing it back there.
Our country looks for reasons to tear itself apart.
It feeds our media, our anger, and our desire to associate with like minded people.

Care to explain why Martin was on top of Zimmerman? Did he drop a skittle on Zimmerman and knock him down picking it up? Yea, that's it! He was on top of Zimmerman trying to help him up! Maybe we should make that story up!! BTW, did you ever take English in school?
