Someone probably farted or said a joke. If I were in hell I'd still laugh. You can't take a static image and paint the overall emotions of a person.

Even people goign through a tough time can experience a range of emotions, especially after acquittal.

Unless of course they bathe in a culture of self-victimhood.

Also from my analysis of body language that is a pretty forced smile, the muscles in his jaw are tight, which you get from being anxious.

Also to clarify, Zimmerman was a renter not a property owner.

I can tell looking at Zimmerman that he is not "white." He has clearly Hispanic facial features and skin tone.

Neither did you. At least, if the 81 in you nickname shows that you were born in 1981.

If's kind of funny when you says guys saying 'we had to give up our seat'.

No, you never had to give your seat. Or to sit in the back part of the bus, or to go to a different bathroom.

White, hispanic and asian Americans have not experienced the same level or tradition of systematic persecution in their own country.


Neither did you. Again. Your parents or your grandparents experienced it. You just heard about it. As everybody else.

It's racist to assume Black people are going to riot.


Not at all. It doesnt matter if the population concerned are black, white, red, brown, yellow or anything inbetween. Rioting happens in any country where you have a marginalised population where they have no meaningful representation or lawful voice of dissent.

Case in point being the nationalist community in Northern Ireland during the peak of the troubles.


Yes and no,but some white people think that any time a verdict comes in that is not what they assume the black communities wanted,they panic and start worrying about a riot.I haven't looked at the news today,but from what was on yesterday, all demonstrations were mostly peaceful.

Nor am I American. Nor did I even claim to be a member of a victimised racial group for that matter. What do you even mean 'we guys'?

Don't be so fast to jump to conclusions.

The fact that I am of an empowered group only serves to increase my feeling of duty to speak for those that are disempowered.

I do however come from a country where those on the other side of the fence did experience disposession, all be of it a different means. Where people felt co-erced into starving themselves to death just to win some semblance of political leverage. I only came to realise that all the while I was backing the wrong horse.

Hands around the world.

He's a Northern Irish Protestant. He experienced no U.S.-style discrimination because he's never lived there.

He is Caucasian though, Peruvian 'white' and German ancestry. However like most people he has other races in his ancestry including Black.

That's his great grandfather, his grandmother(who helped raised him), and his mother as a baby. I wouldn't say he was a 'white Peruvian'.

I stand corrected, black Peruvian's are extremely small in number. It is mostly Andean and White. In fact Chinese/Japanese probably outnumber the blacks.

My mum is from there.

Studied? Are we talking about the 50s?

It's not the 50s anymore. We're not talking about a guy forced to sit back in the bus.

Racist harassment? Ireland?

So, what the racist stuff? Against the race of redheads?
