I remember a show a few years ago that took makeup and made white people appear to be black. Some of the things they have observed was that white people had a fear of blacks. If I remember correctly there was more fear observed, or at least more instances of white people reacting to those that had been made to look black when they had not only been made to look black but were dressed in a 'hip-hop' style. From what I have seen, Treyvon was dressed in somewhat of a hip-hop fashion. Now, let me be clear, I am not saying that it is OK for people to go around shooting folks just because they have an initial reaction of fear towards someone. But let us face facts. Zimmerman (GZ) was initially suspicious towards Treyvon (TM). Why? Well, I think it is fair to say that the majority of crime is committed by blacks who are hip-hop dressed, whites that commit crimes are also hip-hop dressed, as well as white-trash dressed. The white-trash style has yet to catch on in the African American community. I think had TM been dressed in khaki pants, with a polo or button up tucked in with a belt and nice shoes he would not have been confronted, and shot. Of course, people have a right to dress how they see fit, but sometimes there are negative affects of the choices we make that we have every right to make. A similar thing might be said of a female rape victim that was dressed like a total slut. It doesn't make it her fault she was raped, but her decision to hold herself out as a whore increased her chances of getting raped.
Right or wrong, why I think Treyvon was shot

That's cool that you have an opinion, but only George Z. knows the real reason he shot Trayvon M.
Actually there is quite a few arm chair detectives around here who are so fucking smart that they've all figured it out.

Good thing I own a Mac.
And @ UB, not an invitation, you're right. People should be free to wear hoodies and mini-skirts. But lets face it, you got a young black man in a hoodie, some work done on his grill, more than likely sagging pants. Realistically what do you think most folks first impressions are? And we can say the same thing about a white dude with a mullet, wife beater shirt on, and perhaps a confederate flag bandanna. Those particular looks elicit fear and suspicion out of a great many of the population. But if little 16 your old jenny is the sluttiest looking girl at the party, and he boyfriend wont stop when she says no, I guess the way she looked had absolutely nothing to do with it.

I am starting to become suspicious as to whether Trayvon Martin ever even existed
I used to think you were intelligent, now I'm not sure. You seem to very often reply to a post and give it a meaning that you wish it had to further some agenda, red herrings be damned. Either you are incapable of having an honest conversation/discussion with those you disagree with, or you are a blithering fool. At what point did you take anything I said as carrying the meaning that rape is OK, so long as the chick looks like a whore? This isn't even a complex idea that you cannot seem to grasp. The girl that got (date) raped for giving off the impression that she is a whore did things which increased her chances of suffering such a fate, that does not make the piece of shit who raped her any less a piece of shit. It is the same principal as walking down the street in a bad neighborhood while holding $10,000 cash in your hand. It really increases your chances of getting robbed, but it don't make the piece of shit who robs you any less a thief. In the same way, conducting yourself in a manner which will provoke fear in most of the people out there increases your chances of getting shot.

My theory is either more than one person posts on that account or more than one personality. Smart, funny, stupid, evil, racist, homophobic, bigoted, generous, informed, uninformed, agreeable, argumentative etc. That account covers the rainbow. I've seen him champion gay rights, then gay bash. It's weird, but mostly entertaining.
The most fun is economic discussions, health care discussions, or anything Obama in general. I used to think it was a level account at times, or 3rd level trolling.

You seem to incorrectly exclude the possibility that both are true.
