Skyping to provide testimony is sketchy to me. I know he was a defense character witness in support of Zimmerman, but yeah, sketchy.

If T Martin was killed by another black, it probably wouldn't even be in the news.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

Just remember this when it comes to crime:
Black on black= don't mean jack
Black on white= good ratings tonight
Black on black= don't mean jack
Black on white= good ratings tonight
"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."

I agree with Com, but will say that some networks did go a bit out of their way to call Zimmerman a white-Hispanic instead of simply Hispanic. I still find that strange. I know he's half white and all, I just know that's not why they called him that.

The prosecution rested a few days ago so finally this damned circus can come to an end (unless one of the jurors decides to vote the other way so there will be a hung jury- just so he could get a free hotel room, free food, free HBO and Free Willy!)

The racism in this case, and in America is astounding. Zimmerman, to my knowledge, never used a racial slur. Nor did he ever even stereotype according to race. He said that he hates, "those people", but he meant the people terrorizing the neighborhood, not blacks.
Yet, TM used the term "cracker" and has many past instances displayed anti-white feelings and used terms that are racist.
But, everyone seems intent on saying that Zimmerman was a racist and trying to prove it, yet ignores the fact that TM was a racist.
Why is that? Is it OK for a black man to be racist?
