And anyways why can't people just go to "fisticuffs" anymore?

Because that means that only the biggest and meanest have power, while the young, old, and/or weak are nothing but prey. Did you attack anyone as has been asserted here, or just throw snowballs at cars?

not that any of this is proof of racism just that harrekin isnt subjected to the same pressures as someone from a more racially diverse country might..

however when you take his 45-50% blacks in northern dublin to account a thinking man will see the underlying racism

You're just so sad you see racism in everything.

"Isn't subjected to the same pressures as someone living in a racially diverse country" ?!

Wouldnt someone from a mostly white country be MORE racist due to a lack of integration with other races? Your logic is as dumb as your racial sensitivity.

And since you obviously don't understand statistics, just because the % of black people as an overall figure isn't high, it doesn't mean that part of one city (the capital) cant have a disproportionately high % of that group in that area. (Directly related to the fact there's only work in the Capital and it's where the international airport and seaport is.

Lack of local knowledge means you don't really know shit about what you're talking about it seems.

The world now knows the evidence, the guy is going to walk. Terrible loss of life I am not sayin anything else. I have kids, I am a single fater I cant imagine the loss of one of my children I would be devistated but the evidence is the evidence. As to the fater saying it was not his son, and by the way the kid lived with his father, I would know I am telling you I would know their voice in a heartbeat. What is not part of the evidnece is the phone records from the girlfriend that claims she was on the phone with him. Dont think for a minute that the defense does not have those records. If they proved she was telling the truth it would be in the states evidence. It is not. The whole thing is a shame the whole thing sucks big time but I never beleived abc when they said it was a racial killing. It was a flat out avoidable incident that cost a child his life. UGH the entire thing makes me flat out sick. I live in a big city and kids, adults, women, men, animals are killed every day. Sometimes 3-4 times a day. Four kids were killed in their car just the other night. Sad, makes me sick to my stomach. Bottom line ABC news doctored the video to hide the bandage on the nose, ABC lied to the enitre nation and upset everyone and got everyone picking sides. This case just reaks of lies. The media is to blame, the incident should have been handled by the police and you and I should not be even talking about it. Thousands of our children dies in Iraq and AFG each day. They are dying right now but we dont give a shit, it is all just screwed up.

Many black youth are taught all about the "white Devil" and how all of life's ills can be blamed on the cracker. Black on white violence as a statistic far exceeds any other racial violent stat in the USA. Blacks murder Whites at 18 times the rate Whites murder Blacks. Odds are a'ginst ya.

The USA is 80% White when you consider that Hispanics must be white too, but only when they kill black people. White isn't a race, its how light your skin color is.

no not at all people are perfectly capable of being racist in a 100% white community it takes living in a racially diverse community to understand what it is to NOT BE RACIST

and it seems to me you have a bit of trouble working out who is "white" or "hispanic"

Do you have anything to support the assertion that Martin initially attacked Zimmerman? Or you just presuming?

care to show proof of your 45-50% black community there? you havent backed it up yet i can only go on the facts available to me

as i just said to nodrama it takes living in a racially diverse culture to know what it really means to not be racist

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^We should outlaw water. Thousands of children have died as a result of inhaling water. At the least, it should only be allowed with a doctor's prescription.
