More Overt Reverse Racism: Whites No Longer Allowed to Kill Blacks With Impunity - WTF!?

(that was sarcasm aimed at the reaction by many to the Zimmerman ARREST)

Sometimes it is hard to believe this is 2012.

These racist need to be vigorously confronted to remind them AGAIN that they will NOT be tolerated, that they should not only be ashamed of themselves, but that they need to keep their racist views to themselves, at the very least... I am sick of hearing this blantant racism on my radio, teeVee, newspapers, www, etc.

that he shouldn't be arrested are all too willing to now accept manslaughter since a murder charge was lodged.

is that no one is even trying to deny that Stand Your Ground type laws are all based in racism. It is so obvious now.

Or I missed the recent epidemic of whites killing blacks without impunity.
Well, there WAS Zimmerman - but you can cross him off the list.
