Agree it's frustrating. Mostly because I think their disingenuous about the reasons they support Zimmerman.

You are always the one screaming for help when you have the gun, I suppose??

I had a gun pointed at someone who was breaking in, many years ago. I had the gun in one hand and the phone in the other calling the police. Pulling the trigger is not an easy thing to do, even if your life appears to be threatened.

For the record. I'm not supporting Zimmerman or Martin. I'm hoping all the facts come out and justice is served.

Believe what you want to believe.
You can hate Deen or love her.
Hate Snowden or love him.
Hate Zimmerman or love him.

That's what makes us all different. Some are on one side, some on the other.

Someone is not any more special than I am because they believe this side or believe that side on an issue.

You know and I know that we're not more special for believing one thing over another, but there are tons of people who really do think they're more special than others depending on what they believe.

I don't notice a whole lot of things, but I do notice patterns. And one of the patterns here seems to be that people are so reluctant to be labeled by any form of an "ism" that they go overboard in the other direction.

People get called "racists" merely for not liking a person who just happens to be, say, black. In any of the unfortunate incidents involving blacks vs whites, it always seems to be the blacks who are the victims, even in the absence of any real evidencè that such is the case.

Racists see blacks as the perpetrators of every incident or crime

People who want to believe they're special...more liberal than thou...go the completely opposite way, even, as I said, if there's no real proof that the big, evil white person victimized someone not of his own race. Try to even suggest that the minority person might be at fault and risk being called a racist by someone who has to label someone else to make himself feel better

That's my take on why people care about who is in which fan club. Easier to judge others that way...

is the wording I used on the alert on yesterday's hidden post.

YOUR COMMENTS:

A personal attack from a shit stirring troll.

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Jun 27, 2013, 08:18 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

The other one signed up yesterday and went from 1-83 posts in 24 hours while only posting about Zimmerman.
