I do - because he was potrayed as a white man out to kill a black man, rather than what he was - a hispanic man who killed a black man. The whole basis of the Black Panthers speach is to "kill whitey/shed the blood of whitey". Why? Because Trayvon's killer was potrayed as a stereotypical angry racist gun toting white male. Had it said "Hispanic man kills black in street altercation", none of this would have happned IMHO.
I am in 100% disagreement with you on that last sentence
first of all the inclusion of either race in your description is unnecessary and more importantly, it was not merely
"Hispanic man kills black man in street altercation" That's inaccurate and incomplete.
A more accurate descriptions, sans race, would be an armed man stalked and confronted and ultimately shot and killed an unarmed teenager and due to the "stand your ground law" was able to claim self defense and has not been charged with a crime
IMO - the people who are upset and protesting are not doing so because
they've been misinformed about the facts (even if in some cases they
have been)
I believe they are doing it because they know the only facts that
matter to them which is that an unarmed kid was gunned down and no one
has been arrested I don't for a second believe they have been "motivated to action" by
the MSM where they would otherwise be sitting home doing nothing
I understand you believe differently
