The fact is Trayvon Martin did buy and sell illegal handguns.
So? Are you saying it OK to murder people because of supposed evidence of selling handguns brought up AFTER killing them? I did not know gun selling is a capital offense so grand it does not require jury or even arrest but kill on sight on just suspicion of general thuggery!
We see this in his own words conducting gun transactions (see post # 521). You can try to make this kid sound like a perfect child all you like, but he dealt in firearms, drugs, fighting, and his own mother did not want him at home. I do not think he is the best poster child for a cause of promoting racial discrimination. If anything you are publicizing a child who is exactly the opposite of the way blacks want blacks portrayed (I wouldn't want people comparing Trayvon to me if I was Black).
No he is a pretty good poster child to me of the problem: a society that allows murder of people as long as they aren't found to have been squeeky clean posthumously, or worse a society that tries as hard as it can to validate said murders because the victims were not beautiful Aryan children.
Your "surveys" are funny. You can get a survey to show just about anything you want.
Once you start saying stuff like that about science you might as well start throwing out theories like evolution, gravity and heliocentricity.
You say blacks use marijuana less than blacks by an average of 5-10% in each year. How was this measured?
You can actually go and read about the surveys, in this case they were asked.
You yourself point out that the arrest rate for Marijuana possession is much higher among blacks, but when questioned blacks "SAY" they do not do drugs 5-10% more.
So your suggesting they are all lying, lets do the math: Blacks would have to be consuming nearly 4 times as much pot as whites per person, this would require over a 100% of the black population to be users! It is grossly improbable even physically impossible that blacks would lie so much on this question as to be several times less then what you think it is!
I have been to Jamaica. I know marijuana is not considered bad there. I actually think Marijuana seems better for our society than booze although I do not use either. My main beef with Trayvon is A) He bough and sold illegal handguns on the street and B) He wanted more blood from his victim who he'd previously beaten up. Even Clinton has done pot, and something killed off George bush Jr's brain cells.
Then you should have a problem with people being imprison for pot smoking. And again your "beef" with Trayvon does not allow murder without evidence, arrest, trial or conviction, it morally wrong to kill people for supposed sale of handguns, doubly so when that was not even the reason he was killed but merely brought up later to try to validate the murder. We can't just kill people because we think they are despicable or worse kill people and then try to dig up evidence after the fact to say they were despicable, it is morally reprehensible! You sir aren't merely racist, you are an evil person, people like you advocate totalitarianism, fascism and genocide, that is in fact what you are doing right now. You advocate that the we go around murdering people and validating it later, that kind of ethic truly let lose on society would likely destroy civilization!
Zimmerman did not walk up to Trayvon and point a gun, nor did he just shoot the guy. There was a prolonged fistfight that went on for a long enough time that several neighbors had dialed 911. Zimmerman did not use the gun to defend himself during any part of the fight. It was only at the end of this fight that the gun was involved and there were witnesses. Judge Dredd .... really?
Zimmerman chases down this boy (this is irrefutable fact), claims the boy found and attacked him (we have no evidence to validate or invalidate this) and when he was losing said fight killed the boy legally thanks to laws which allow one to pick fights, lose them and claim self defense and "stand your ground" after plugging a bullet in them. Zimmerman is also no poster child for self defense by the way as significant evidence of his anger management problems have been presented you. If you want to believe Trayvon did in fact chase down his stalker and start fighting him go ahead it does not change the fact that it is now proven legal to set up such situations and kill people.
What of other minority groups? Are they considered Black? If I counted Middle Eastern, India, Pakistan, etc minority groups as black also then really many cities are vastly outnumbering minority to white populations.
Pretty sure they aren't counted as black, but I don't know where you going with this either.
In my city for example if whites were arrested for 1/2 of the crimes it would be grossly unfair because whites make up less than 25% of the population if we go by a previously mentioned one drop rule it is less than that.
Lets look at this from the perspective of police officer, security guard, neighborhood watch persons, etc: they can't read DNA, they judge race on what they see: if a person is dark enough to them be a "thug" that all that matters. If a person is light enough to them they are "not suspicious". As the evidence I've present from police records and surveys shows these kinds of people are highly racially biases in their judgement, it does not matter who is majority or minority by population where, or what their genealogy is.
Your picture above says "Young black men make up 25%+ of all city stops by police" and then it says they are less than 2% of the population. Seriously?
You expect anybody here to believe that young black men make up less than 2% of New York Cities population? I am not even going to Google that because common sense tells me that those figures are ridiculous.
Then your an idiot, here the original study its self:
http://www.nyclu.org/files/publications/NYCLU_2011_Stop-and-Frisk_Report.pdf
Now I demand you prove black males between the ages of 14 and 24 are not even close to 1.9% of NYC population (Use Google, I dare you)! Clearly your worse then kind of person who thinks first and does not try to actually verify their thoughts with evidence: you actually think your thoughts are great than evidence! Now according to wiki there are 2 million blacks in NYC, roughly half are women, so that leaves only ~1 million as male, ranging from age 0 to who knows. The survey says 158,406 are between the age of 14 and 24 = 15.8% of the black male population, doesn't sound ridiculous at all. Now wiki also says the population of NYC was 8.175 million in 2010, 158k out of that is 1.93%
I am sure there are a few minorities out there who blame racism every time they are pulled over. Maybe the police are just doing their jobs. I am sure there are some minorities out there who blame racism every time they get turned down for a job. Racism is declining and we see mixed marriages on the rise in every city.
Statistically the police are racist, "do their jobs" is not mutually exclusive to this fact, especially if the whole judicial system is racist. Racism may not be the cause of every problem but it still occurs you can't deny this.
I think the black community needs a better martyr than Trayvon. He is the last guy on earth people should be looking at as an average black person.
Don't worry a new candidate comes up practically every week!

But I'm sure people like you will find some kind of flaw with "those" people. Next you will be saying not turning music down is criminal enough to warrant shot on sight!
It shocks me how many of you support his violent and criminal lifestyle.
First of all those are claims, second we don't care about his lifestyle on account he has no life anymore, rather we care that Zimmerman killed someone without evidence and by his provocation alone and was legally allowed to.
