Geraldo Rivera: Trayvon Martin's 'Hoodie Is As Much Responsible As Shooter

You are a member of the "blame the victim" party. :screwy

Sure i am. that's why I am blaming Geraldo for his inane comments. There's some pretzel logic. Typical right wing reasoning. Twist it and twist it some more.
 
Wow.

I thought they were democrats.... but hey, if you are going to lie, might as well, keep it up eh?

Let's be clear about who the KKK are. They are as far right as it gets. Historical references to the democratic party in the deep south (which any fool knows was to the right of Atilla the Hun) notwithstanding. To suggest otherwise is like me suggesting Greenpeace is a conservative organization.
 
You're right, my bad. This one fit you better now does it?

Pretty balsey post, bro. the internet is a great place for people like you isn't it? but nah, The klan never really was around my neighborhoods where I grew up. (lower east side of Manhattan and Newark, NJ in the 70's early 80's), perhaps before you post your drivel, you really should have an idea who your talking to, kid.


I'd be happy to discuss this in a more appropriate location, if you are game.

You think Geraldo is a right winger, so we know about what we need to know about your opinion here, kid.

damn....you really don't know **** about politics, do you?

they were indeed Democrats. CONSERVATIVE.....Democrats.

seriously Rev, this may not be your thing.
 
I like wearing hoodies.
I wouldn't say it is so much the wearing of a hoodie, but in how it is worn.

Actually, I think it has more to do with the skin color of the wearer.
 
I'm sure you are, a good lynching, needs whatever minor justification you and your ilk could muster up. :prof

Well, there was a lynching that took place here. It was done with a gun instead of a rope but it was a lynching.

I think you are prejudging the case, I think you may be right, however, it would be wrong to convict the guy without all the evidence, we are afterall a law and order society.
 
Moderator's Warning:
This is the Breaking News forum.... and extreme partisanship is not welcome here, per the rules. Several of you need to walk away and chill out for a bit.
 
I actually hear geraldo live when he was talking about it, when you take it all in context, he had a point, though he expressed it completely wrong.

Who praytell would that be? But first let me go get my blanky, since i am shivering here. Yawn.

LOLOL Out of context? Freakin hilarious. And since you apparently think he had a point and was expressing it wrong, enlighten all of us as to what it was and make sure and say it the "right way".

Anyone working for fake news is right wing or has sold out to them. There isn't a single liberal that works there with a shred of integrity or backbone. NONE.

Geraldo and Shep Smith are definitely NOT right-wing.

And this stupid "fake news", "Faux News" crap is soooooo 2002. Get a new line....perhaps a more intelligent one?

“I believe that George Zimmerman, the overzealous neighborhood watch captain, should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law, and if he is criminally liable he should be prosecuted. But I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies,” Rivera said.

“I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.”


He added: "You have to recognize that this whole stylizing yourself as a gangsta, you’re going to be a gangsta-wannabe, well people are going to perceive you as a menace."



This is in context. He is right, it is the unfortunate reality. Geraldo was an idiot for blaming the hoodie for his death, but if a certain element, say a non racist skinhead, is seen running down the street, He may be percieved as a racist, even though he may be the furthest thing from it.


A person with a leather jacket with three patches, and a big harley, is also going to be percieved a certain way, even though he may really be a lawyer....


It's reality, it's not the "reason" for his death. But the perception angle is exactly right.

I find this view simplistic in it's ignorance, and sad in it's prejudice. Geraldo, as I have proven to you at least once is a left-center-left individual, he is the typical left wing new yorker.

what do his political views have to do with anything?

his statement was stupid, ignorant, and he should be ashamed of himself. there's no point in trying to tie him to a certain political group.

You should ask Top Cat, as he claimed he was a right winger.

Again, your beef is with your compadre top cat.
