So picture yourself as Trayvon Martin & there's a black guy following you.. How would you feel?, that's the 1st question. 2nd question is if the victim was white, would he have still been followed.. No ok, soooo he followed him because of stereotype's that young black males are dangerous. It's a million of them to say the least.. Honestly we're suppose to be over racism but events like these keep popping up reminding us that we're still not.. Even though its not right, some people decide to follow in there ancestors foot steps & continue to be racist. They don't show the good stuff black people do on the news so when y'all look at a black, y'all automatically thinking criminal.. Smh

He wouldn't have been followed if he was white? How? A white kid wearing a hoodie, baggy jeans and air force ones would have been just as much of a "threat" as Trayvon was.

They don't show the good stuff that black people do on the news? Obama.

Who's automatically thinking criminal? No one looks at a black doctor and thinks "Bet this guy sells crack". If you look like a crack dealer, don't be annoyed when someone accuses you of being a crack dealer.

And then cakedout leaves the thread citing racism, which is HILARIOUSLY ironic considering that's the cop out we're discussion in the first place.

@IV, correct.
