the george zimmermant trial

ok, crucify me if this link was posted already, but i would encourage people on both sides of the debate who are actually interested in why the trial went the way it did to visit jeralyn merritt's www.talkleft.com.

she covered the trial exhaustively from the beginning and does so in an unbiased manner (i bet if you did a search you would find a lot of people here having linked to her work regarding something called "fitzmas" and a few other notably progressive cases).

i watched some of the trial, enough that i would have been shocked indeed if the jury had returned a guilty verdict.

from her work, you get to see the case develop without any of the histrionics favored by either side. if go into it with a mildly open mind, i think you will come away with a different point of view or at least an understanding of why this case was decided the way it was.

I would like to know what your first response is, after reading the following quote. I have my own opinion, but would honestly like to know others' insight is (people whom I don't know personally). Be incisive and explain why you feel the way you do.

"Race in America. I suddenly remember that the son of Chautauqua conductor, Wolfgang Schanzer (& wife Winifred) rode his bike into a non-white area in Boston, and when he attempted to turn and leave he was savagely beaten...and permanently injured. I'm not excusing what happened in FL, but sometimes "race" cuts both ways. In reality, there's only one race: the human race. It's complicated."

There are bigots on both sides of the color, religion, sexual preference divide.

Yes there are bigots of all kinds but this country doesn't have a long history of oppressing white people.
Tiny I think your quote totally misses the point. The outrage over the Zimmerman case didn't start just because a white man shot a black kid. It was because he wasn't even arrested and charged with a crime.
*Edit: I tried looking this case up on google but couldn't find anything. But I think it's a safe guess that it didn't take 45 days of national protest for the culprits to be arrested and charged.

@erik: thanks for your reply. I, however, did NOT write or say that quote - someone else did, whom I know peripherally, and I find it exceedingly troublesome. Just dumb, naïve, and ignorant and really an appallingly trite "comparison".I have decided not to be friends with this person anymore...this among other things,,,,,

"Yes there are bigots of all kinds but this country doesn't have a long history of oppressing white people."

This does not justify or make the other acts of bigotry any less offensive. As far as Sexual Preference or religious oppressing goes goes back in history as slavery.

The fact that Zimmerman wasn't arranged immediately after the shooting might have as much to do with who his father is as to racism. NEVER underestimate the power of nepotism.

religious bigotry, is one of the last remaining bigotries that is still acceptable by the PC police.

George Zimmerman Comes Out Of Hiding, Rescues Individual In Truck Accident

I get this mental picture of Zimmy listening to his Police scanner and rushing to the scene of the crime, DESPERATE TO PLAY THE HERO ONCE AGAIN! Sorry but I question the timing of all of this.

Wow, this is an amazing story!

Imagine if the people he saved were protesting the verdict?

The accident was staged by Fox news as we all know.

Both Charles Barkley & Bill Cosby both supported the verdict for whatever it is worth.

I'm happy that Mr. Zimmerman has had an opportunity to redeem himself to some extent. Even though he was not legally guilty under Florida law, he was, in my view, MORALLY guilty -- he took a gun with him when he was about to confront someone. In some states, that would have gotten him convicted of at least manslaughter, if not 2nd degree murder. It all depends on how the statute is drafted.

Yea. Because George Zimmerman is such a great guy.

He stood his ground and penetrated her vagina with his finger when she was 6. Her vagina was there and so was he so he had every right to penetrate it. Vote Romney.

Wow, its really disappointing to see all the hate, especially on a thread about a Hate Crime from posters who are claiming Trayvon was a victim of hate... talk about inappropriate and hypocritical.
