Chicago's Black Ghetto

It is a deplorably consistent technique of some to attack the person and offer nothing more than "this is stupid" in response to an OP they disagree with. Come on, post a response with some reason and intellect behind it. I know you can do it.
 
Of course not. Martins friend, the girl, said Cracker means security gaurd so if she said it did, then he believed it too.

Did you watch anything that happened, or did you just believe everything MSNBC told you?

Fox News told you Cracker means Security Guard?
 

Are you serious with this?

With the Hernández case, it is stillon going and there has been no indication that the man was killed because he was black.

What does the second one have to do with your narrative?

The OP article is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to garner publicity from the Zimmerman case. It's base, thoughtless, garbage intended for ignorant orcs.
 
That is not what ahppened and you know it.

Why did you leave out the black kid attacks security gaurd part?

Not a security guard.

Or? You can look at the content beyond any efforts to grab your attention and give it some deserved consideration. Any effort to dismiss so easily something that clearly offends, deserves your attention on a personal level.
 
Whether he was or not is not important. Martin thought he was which makes the attack that much worse.

how do you know Martin thought that? And if you are going to be so forgiving of you own inaccuracies you really should extend the same courtesy to others.
 
They are kind of linked though don't you think? At least in terms of the suspicion that GZ characterized TM as a threat based on his appearance.

nobody involved in the event lived in, or was from, a ghetto.... and certainly not from a Chicago ghetto in the 20's.

I don't think anyone here will deny that suspicion exists.... everybody get suspicious of other people for a whole lot of different reasons

Idiot George was NOT a security guard. He was a volunteer who broke all the rules of Neighborhood Watch.

Security guards wear UNIFORMS... and are trained.

You asked me to post Hispanic/non-white crimes on Blacks for some reason. I provided you two high-profile examples.

When they cannot cope with the message, they attack the messenger. I have grown to expect this, especially from the usual suspects.

the "security guard" thing was taken from the prosecutions star witness.... the dumb chick

she's the one who said "crazy ass cracker" means security guard.
( only the really dumb ones believe that.. we all know it refers to a white person)

Don't be daft. THe mentality which created the ghetto in 1920 is what still exists, and almost a 100 years later, lies behind Martin being targeted for being Black in 2012.

If that's what you need to believe to feel good about yourself, *shrug* Just don't expect the rest of us to empathize.

True we do. Sometimes those suspicions are justified and sometimes they are not. Shouldn't we strive to create a society where we judge people by who they are rather that what they are? And if so, isn't there really only one way to do that.

Did you READ the links I POSTED.. OR ARE YOU STILL INVENTING YOUR OWN SCENARIO?
 
Since at least 1968, this kind of discrimination has been illegal. If your source is even credible in the first place.

If you're looking for excuses for why the black man feels put upon, you can surely find them in our history. But that was then, and this is now. In fact, now? The pendulum has swung in the other directiion. Even perceived discrimination in a real estate transaction is going to cost some poor sap his life savings defending himself against the strong arm of a determined government.

But the past creates the present. If you grow up in a poor, uneducated family the evolution out of that cycle (typically) is generational. You can not separate anyone from their personal, familial or community past.

still trying to push the discredited meme that Z is a racist huh?... well, good luck with that.

Look, I've spent years in Africa pushing women's rights. I plan to settle there. Don't lecture me about this common swill intended for morons. You can spend your time giving attention to idiot race-baiting and BS about Trayvon, but spare me.

Don't hold your self righteous " but I work with ...." BS over me. I could care less who you worked with. I care about what I know, what I see here is all I know about Eco. If you respect knowledge and deeper understanding you would consider and look for the truth and value in everyone's perspective instead of dismissing and trashing it without thought.

you will never, ever, ever, ever, end suspicion..never ,ever.


suspicion primarily comes with unfamiliarity of the actual person, and familiarity with the persona the person is trying to push.
for example, Z didn't know T.. but he was familiar with the "thuggish" look and behavior

to be perfectly honest, if TM was in my neighborhood, i'd be suspicious too... any stranger looking shady in my neighborhood with be dealt a hefty amount of suspicion.
hell, Z roaming my neighborhood would be suspicious ( i'm in rural country.. ya better advertise who you are and what you want or you'll have eyes on you)

if the day ever comes when we all know each other and understand the intent of the person pertaining to the persona.. utopia will be realized.

Don't hold your "I care about moronic articles and Zimmerman attention whores" over me.
