PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
I'm just glad the protests have been peaceful. Part of it has been that they are blaming the system, which is understandable. The burdon of proof was on the prosecution, the case they presented was a lot of conjecture and little proof, benefit of the doubt goes to the defense. (I don't think the system is inherently racist, it's just an adversarial process in which one side will win and the other side will lose.)
I think we can also thank social media, because counter-protests seem to have taken to the internet rather than the streets. From what I've read there are some truly outrageous things being tweeted. (And, of course, the WBC didn't have sufficient time to mobilize.)
Not that all of Zimmerman's supporters are racist (most are not), just that the racists (white supremacy division) naturally gravitated to being Zimmerman supporters (and probably don't really care for him either).
