Would u post this on an email with your name on it and post it to your boss, mom,or local paper? I doubt it but sadly on this site someone agrees with it. Smh

A decapitation my be a little extreme. But I stand by my statement that if George Zimmerman and his family were murdered in the middle of the night, a very large portion(not 100%) of POOR (qualifier #1), UNEDUCATED (qualifier #2), black population would cheer his death and say justice was served.

Do I believe all blacks think he was guilty of second degree murder? No

Do I think black people think he should die? No

Do I think more than 60% of poor, uneducated (less than HS diploma), black people want him dead now that the justice system has "failed them"? Absolutely

For the record, from what I know of you on here and the huddle, what I have described is not you

I think the medias coverage of this trial has a lot to do with this as well. Why does the media try so hard to paint George Zimmerman as a racist when he is not?

Majority for some jailtime no doubt but people are acting like whites and other races don't feel that way too and there are plenty
I dont believe that as high a percentage of "whites and other races" would be happy if zimmerman was murdered. But probably between 20-35% of POOR, UNEDUCATED, "whites and other races" would be happy if zimmerman was murdered.

For the record I almost edited out "black" from my original post, because I feel it has more to do with being poor and uneducated than the color of your skin. A majority of the poor, uneducated masses would be happy if zimmerman was murdered

I'd agree with that. The news seeks out the irrational for comment, because it's drama. Plus, if the news goes to rallies to find these people they have a high probability of finding the ignorant on this issue even if it's a very small percentage of the overall community.

I am not saying a majority of blacks want to kill him, I am saying that IF he was murdered in cold blood, that the a high % of the poor, uneducated, minorities would say justice was served in this killing.

She is so fucking inarticulate it's not even funny. She's awful to listen to. Anyone else notice she can't pronounce the suffix of words? Rapisss, "he was creep out," etc etc

She probably had to go over these question with her lawyer for week before she sat down on this show.

She's not an embarrassment to the black community. She is an embarrassment to the human race.

I don't have any poor, uneducated, black friends. All my black friends are pretty smart.

She's an embarrassment to our education system, her family, and herself.

She's an embarrassment to our education system as she is a shining example of it failing her.

She's an embarrassment to her family as family (parental) involvement is a huge factor of success in school.

And she's an embarrassment to herself as ultimately an individual does have to take some responsibility for their own education.

What's sad is people just making jokes at her expense or trying to say it's the "black community" who should be embarrassed. This reflects on our country as a whole in addition to specific individuals such as herself and those who should have helped her along the way.

I'd venture to say she's refused most of the help that's been thrown her way unless it's free stuff.

Obviously this radio host is free to do what he wants, and it is a smart marketing plan since it got him on Piers Morgan (probably other places as well) last night. That being said, there are so many more deserving individuals than a girl that committed perjury, made large generalizations about the jury, Zimmerman, and people in general, and admitted to being a habitual drug user (even if it was just marijuana). I mean she isn't much different than many teenagers since rationality, honesty, and good decision making is not a hallmark of this age; however, to reward her behavior just doesn't sit right with me. While I understand that there may be some understandable language barriers since English may not be her first language, but as a 19 year-old entering her senior year, she doesn't appear, though I could be wrong, especially intelligent.

If people are pissed now that Zimmerman walked, wait until the settlement money starts rolling in from NBC and some other media.
