<<So then why wouldn't he be fighting the cause for other minority races when they are victims of a crime?>.

Actually, he has.... but it's no mystery that he focuses on African Americans.

Why does this bother you so much? Should African Americans not be activists for African Americans?

I have never understood this, really. And I doubt you're going to suddenly make me understand. So, I think I'll stick to reading your baseball posts. :)

If the cops did their jobs and arrested the suspect as per police procedure (don't take my word for it, ask a cop) we would have never heard of this case.

Yes, that's what he does. What do you think he does? you think he is forwarding a secret plan to have black people take charge of the world? you are a weirdo

Still waiting on your theory, big guy. Are you too embarrassed to post it? I figured.

They are making Trayvon out like he was the student council president
and that Zimmerman was a "white" member of the K KK....
They are still sorting out the facts, and Trayvon has had problems
with Hispanic boys at school....I think what Zimmerman did was the
wrong way to handle the situation, but he is not guilty until he has
his day in court.....Sharpton looks for these things make a big deal
about, he was no where when a gang of black youths drag people
out of the cars and beat them for the sport of it......

The cops have no reason or evidence not to believe the "self-defense" story. And when you think about it, who wouldn't be threatened by a child with skittles and an iced tea in his hands? i mean, he could throw the iced tea in your eyes, and then cram your orifices with skittles until you asphyxiate.

Someone needs to do something about this growing threat, so this guy's a hero, really.

When has he?
I don't recall one incident.

"Why does this bother you so much? Should African Americans not be activists for African Americans? "

Maybe you missed what I said, I said I wouldn't have a problem with him or Jesse at all if they came out and were thruthful and said they were African American activits and not hide behind the "rainbow" and racial activist moniker because they don't care about ANY other minority races other than their own.

Sorry, but none of that makes any sense. both men have admitted to personally specifically focusing on African americans, even while fulfilling the missions of those organizations. you DO know what the '"C" in NAACP stands for, right?

and your claim that this would "make it okay with you if they would just say it" its truly worthy of a BS flag... which I will now throw on the field...

*BS*

I have no problem with them sticking up and being an activist for their race.
More power to them, more people should be that way and I truly believe every race should be treated equal.

My issue is they try to come off as being these messiahs for all minority races, when they aren't.
And they try to make every incident racial when it involves an African American and a non African American and I don't think thats right, not every incident happens because of race, ever think it happens because of the ACTUAL ACTIONS of the person involved?

And NAACP ...........yes I know what the C stands for but thats an entire other bag of worms.

Your problem appears to be your own hyperbole. here's some advice: stop working so hard to enrage yourself.

okay, that's fine.... believe me, I know they are self-promoters. But I also know they have made a difference, which is more than I can say for a lot of people. So you'll have to excuse me if i don't use words like "racist" and "evil" for them.

Your theory? By all means, keep whining all day... but, if you please, take a few seconds to state your theory.

What's the matter? Embarrassed? yeah, you're embarrassed.

Never mind that Trayvon allegedly attacked the guy from behind and broke his nose. Never mind that the police determined it to be self defense. Lets call it murder and make it a black/white(hispanic) thing.
