ummm,,,no

loneliness reflects to mean inability to feel connected to others

not necessarily an unwillingness to,,,,,

ANY Assumption of superiority, as a human, or in a skill

is racist , if it is based only on the knowledge of ones race,,,


,,,thats why I said it depends upon how someone defines racism,,thats how I Define it

so it would be hard for ME to believe that most americans are not racist on some level..


'ism',,(belief system)

race (race)

a RACE BASED belief system,,,racism

I for some reason was reading this incorrectly, thinking about a case happening inside a home

if it is proven that someone was mugging you, self defense would probably be legal justification to your harming them

IF it is a given that someone has initiated an attack , than harm to them in the form of defending yourself would often fall under self defense,,,,except in those places where a 'reasonable' force rule is applied

for instance, if someone was in your home crawling OUT your window with some stuff, and you came home and shot them on their way out,,,that would probably not be justified as 'reasonable' force in all states,,,

on what would I base my skill against ALL White people then?

what keeps it from being a racist assumption?

thats not what I 'believe' , thats the laws

if the perp died, the family could sue you for wrongful death
you could use a defense of self defense

and a jury would decide,,,

stereotypes are racism, if they attribute a characteristic or trait or weakness or strength to one race or another,,,,,

thats where it starts,,IF I believe white people cant dance, by extension, ,that causes me to believe I must be a better dancer than white people

yet dancing is not a RACIAL skill, it is acquired from environment,,,

IM surprised by the lawyers statement

employment regulations and laws are two seperate things

you dont have to break 'laws' for an employer to terminate you,,,,

ITs hard to prove negatives,,,,

I would have a hard time believing most people in america are not racist on some level,,,either through stereotypes based in race or prejudice behavior or assumption based in race,,,,

it would be up to a jury,,,,

or, he thought the neighborhood was 'safe' enough with its neighborhood watch that his kid could be safe,,,,,,

my son's been walking to the store since a young age, not because I considered him a young man, but because I thought he was mature enough to know how to look both ways and I thought we were in a 'safe' area,,,,


matters not though, what label he is given, the law would not permit him to own a gun and would consider him a minor

and as an unarmed minor without a weapon, being shot by an adult with one has probably tugged at many heartstrings of parents like myself,,,

everyone is not the same, of course

some young people are emancipated, because of their maturity. If you were in a war at 17, you may have been such a mature young person. No sign this boy was quite there yet.



my boy has been old enough to work since 16 but not old enough to be providing for himself. HE has been old enough to make choices since five, with supervision. He went away to school for the first time at 18.


as far as Treyvon, at seventeen, he was eating skittles and a pop and attending high school.

AS a mom of a similar boy,, I consider him a child., at best a young man. But not similarly an adult like the one who took his life and was married with a home and a job and a spouse and financial obligations.

a good start would be ACKNOWLEDGING This as a crime

thats one BIG Difference drawing the attention to this case as opposed to all that other 'negro on negro' violence,, where hte deceased attacker is not merely walking free and being given excuses by the police who speak to their surviving family members,,,

I think its heightened because of one being an unarmed child as well,,,that really is what is pulling at the heartstrings of moms like me who are raising sons

no, its recorded on the 911 call Zimmerman made


'hes coming back this way'

and then

'hes running'

racism is prejudice based in race

race segregation and prejudice is INGRAINED in the countrys very founding,, it has not disappeared and people may sometimes see it when it isnt there,, but its hard to blame them when being honest about how often it HAS been there throughout american history, ,and how often it still is,,,,

I dont think thats necessarily true.

I think the kid at least TRIED to avoid a confrontation with the adult,,,,

first by changing directions

second by RUNNING AWAY


if the adult continued to pursue and confront the kid after that, I cant call the kid stupid for defending himself,,,

I dont think that all news is scripted, I also dont think most news programs allow people to just fly the cuff once the camera is on (and for good reason).

There are of course teleprompters and writers and often times in news a basic AP story, for instance, is just reiterated across several affiliates. You can find the same thing in print news.


But this does still pose the question of how well RESEARCHED stories are and causes many people to believe the information is that much more valid because of how many sources repeat it.

its often misplayed, but is also often very discriptive of a system that CREATED and Introduced the card in the first place,,,

Invictus,,,,I just dont think its ever been a 'United' states, from slavery, to jim crow, to segregation, to immigration,,,,it has never been as close to ideal as people claim when they start whinging about politics,,,IMHO


Film,,,,I think thats what the supreme court is for


Brava, I can tell, but it still doesnt seem to make sense in practice the way it does in text,,,,
