walking while black - Trayvon Martin

Disciple:
But, dear LC, he MURDERED a black kid.


well as you know, that will be determined by due process. right now it's homicide, not murder.

my point was you characterize him as a bigot based on a 2005 myspace, when in fact he had black friends.

Again, repeating myself, your theory is that he is a discriminating racist.

We know that he's a racist.

We know that he shot and killed an unarmed black kid who had every right to be where he was.

What aren't you getting?

"Discriminating racist" is an oxymoron. If you're a racist you dislike people of that race. Period. I guess you could say he only disliked black youths but then that would mean he was an ageist, right? Not a racist.

He may have profiled but that doesn't mean he was racist. It might just have been based on the history in that neighborhood.

I'm not defending his actions (at all) because I think he stalked the kid and basically provoked the confrontation (from what I know so far) but I'm not willing to pin this as a racist attack.
