Isn't it racist...

One said I believe "If Zimmerman goes free, there aint no justice for a black teen". So in this ONE instance of someone being killed, races not even being a factor, ALL black teens are now condemned to a life of injustice and potential murder? These guys are just spouting out stupid information and are really trying to start an uprising, JUST because someone of their race got killed by someone of a different race.

I bet you any money than I can't find one case of the top 10 #JusticeForTrayvon twitter pages where they are outraged at the death of a white teen. Up for it?.

You didn't come into the thread like "these particular black people that I've seen on twitter are never as outraged when it happens to a white teen." You came in the thread like "why are black people only outraged when it comes to their own?" No one can argue with your personal experience. If what you've personally experienced is that every black person you've ever encountered on twitter are x, then unless I know every black person you've ever encountered on twitter, and that they are truly x, I can't debate with you. But when you state is as "how come black people...x" without limiting the variable, it becomes a blanket statement and will always come off as ignorant or racist to someone.

And even if you did research the lives of the top 10 #justice for Trayvon users on twitter, it wouldn't prove the assumption that "black people" as a whole share the same history and have never been outraged about anything beside the slaying of black teens.
