“High on the list on what killed Trayvon and what allowed his murderer to go free is the white privilege system of racism and oppression that this country was built upon and executes, pun intended, with full force in a slightly more nuance form today.

Before we go any further, I am aware that I am white and in many ways benefit from these systems of oppression that I am condemning. However I am not, to preempt the comments that will take up space on this topic, suffering for what you call white guilt. I see the world as it is. It is not an opinion.”

The video has a very deep message that many will resist and some will outright reject. After-all, are things not much better than before?


Why does the killing of one innocent young black teenage boy by a Hispanic White man become a cause célèbre when many young black teenagers are murdered by other black teenagers daily? The answer is simple, a broken social construct. Criminality is not sanctioned by the state. The Trayvon Martin verdict (http://egbertowillies.com/2013/07/15/the-best-summation-of-trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-travesty-video/) sanctions George Zimmerman’s behavior. Innocent black teenagers may have the option to move out of areas where criminality exists. They cannot move out of a society that sanctions their hue as a hazard to their own life.

Trainor puts the verdict’s message in a nutshell:


“Got that kids? When a racist vigilante packing heat profiles, stalks and kills you, it is your fault.”

No, he's a symbol of liberal stupidity.....


Two liberals get in a fight...


One liberal shoots the other....


neither one is white....


Neither one is conservative...


Neither one is member of the NRA...


Neither one is a member of the Tea Party...


The head prosecutor was a woman...


The Judge was a woman....


The Jury was all female...


The liberal who shot the other liberal saw the logic in owning a gun for protection...


He used it legally... with a license to carry and conceal it...


and the left claims the Latino is white....


then they doctor the 911 tapes to make it look like the shooter was a racist....


Then when they lose... (note to stupid liberal... you couldn't win this one no matter which way it went... both sides were your own fools.) they riot and claim white hate and racism...


So, no... Travon Martin is a symbol for liberal stupidity....


Props to David.miner.98

It must be tough not being white in this country. You'll never hold any positions of power. Never be successful businessmen. Never get a chance to play for professional sports teams. Never get an education and be able to freely express yourself in modern media.
Your 'notwhite' status will. keep you all bogged down in the slums where you'll fight each other to the death for the scraps from the white man's dinner table.

It's oh so terrible.

Yeah, right. Next you'll be telling us about all the professional 'not white' athletes and business men there are.

Oh the stories you tell.

So the elements are:

1. unlawful killing of a human
2. with any act imminently dangerous to another
3. with a depraved mind regardless of human life
4. with no premeditation

To be guilty, the state must prove each element (separately) beyond a reasonable doubt.

1. self defense negates the unlawful part
2. agree this was proven
3. no evidence of this at all
4. agree this was proven.

That is it.

In my opinion, white privilege died decades ago. I know people will disagree, but I see alot of whites struggling just like Blacks, them being white hasn't elevated them anywhere.

I agree and disagree. But I don't see it as a race issue. I see it as a cultural issue.

Face it, we all know what "corporate culture" is. Present yourself in that light, regardless of race, and you have a fair shot.

Present yourself as whichever alternative lifestyle you embrace- you are at a disadvantage.
