Superpunk, are black kids beating up white people in Trayvon's name racist or is it justifiable, even if the victims had nothing to do with what happened to Trayvon?

FWIW, the racist label has been kind of distorted over time as "racism" is the belief of the superiority of one race over another. The term racist just has more impact than stereotypist so that's what you hear. Since Zimmerman had A-A friends speak up on his behalf and has, according to reports, advocated for justice for A-As in the past, it would suggest that he isn't racist, although he may be guilty of stereotyping.

Oh that's justifiable. Definitely not a hate crime either.

I mean it sucks but that's the price you pay for things like slavery and the 3/5 amendment.

So is everyone who thinks George was wrong in this now going to be labeled as supporting a race war? Thx in advance.

This is 2012. How much longer are we going to use that as an excuse?

Idk.

As much as I hate the race card being played, those were some pretty fucked up things that black folks had to live through. I think they should be allowed to hate white people for as long as they'd like.

At least the Indians got casinos as a "my bad gesture".

And of that ended back in 1864 if I'm not mistaken - almost 150 years ago.

I understand that, but still. They were people and treated like property. A lot of LIVES ruined. You have to take that into account. If the roles were reversed, I'd probably still be pissed too.

OK, it was bad but everyone involved is gone. It's a pretty terrible excuse for anything.

I have Norwegian ancestry. I hope nobody is still pissed my Viking ancestors raped and pillaged their great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents.

I still carry an incredible amount of guilt over it. Therapy is not helping.
