    It's sad. Because you're a liberal, and believe yourself to be a "good person" you don't recognize the inherent racism in your statements.

    I am starting to get tired of being called a bigot.

    Then you should stop making ignorant, bigoted statements.

    You ought to look in the mirror. Being a liberal doesn't mean your simplistic, paternalistic views aren't racist.

    Look, I'm sure Bill Clinton didn't realize how racist he sounded when he lobbied Teddy Kennedy for his endorsement for Hillary. I mean, in the past, Barack Obama would have been fetching them drinks, and not running for President.

    Hell, If he weren't President, he'd probably be poised to burn down Florida in the event of an acquittal in the Zimmerman/martin case, right?

    I guess Alan Dershowitz is a bigot as well?

    Fucking trolls.

    How about we switch to racist then. You dug your own hole.

    How you profiled black people is exactly what you are accusing Zimmerman of doing.

    “If there are riots, it will be the prosecutor’s fault because she overcharged, raised expectations,” Dershowitz said.

    OK. In this case, I am happy to report that your comments are just as ignorant, just as offensive, and just as bigoted as Alan Dershowitz.

    He qualified it with the use of "if", where as you outright predicted riots. But, if it will make you feel better, I'll lump him in with you.

    Yeah but Dershowitz didn't narrow it down to black people in urban neighborhoods.

    Not sure if this question has been answered before, but with the charge of second-degree murder, is it an all-or-nothing thing as far as possible verdicts go?
    Is a conviction on a lesser charge, like manslaughter, still possible?

    We'd call you what you are, but we'd get banned for it.

    Now that we've got that out of our systems, two stories that mirror (and/or distort) Martin/Zimmerman.
