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."
No. Not trying to put out that there was lesson at all, just reinforcing my contention that, as I originally stated;
"The racial bias here (as I see it) is that the trial was forced upon the local government by the black community because Trevon was black."
In this case the social pressure was lacking, resulting in no media or community outrage. Zimmerman would have never been put on trial except that there was racial bias in favor of Trevon that forced the authorities to indict him.
I can't contend that there was no racial bias against Trevon (although privately I don't think there actually was) because I can't see into the minds of the jury to read their thoughts, but racial bias in his favor by the community is evident.
BTW, I stand corrected on two points (thanks Dabo), it was Spooner that is suspected of haveing mental problems (as you mention), and Simmons ws a black kid.
