I refuse to click on any Pat Dollard links any more. ESPECIALLY when he's talking about Ted Nugent. Dollard is a peddler of BS opinions and misinformation wrapped in a less than factual blanket. BS that's probably been said time and time again by the same kind of people. I could probably quote it without even reading it. Nugent veils his racism in pseudo-patriotism, not that the two aren't intrinsically linked anyway. He calls Trayvon a racist thug gangster because he's too much of a coward to say the n word.
Everyone who judges then condemns a minor old for having a speckled juvenile criminal history is guilty of character assassination along with textbook hypocrisy. Plain and simple.
The Nuge is the man and blank still can't get over the fact that Trayvon was a shithead kid with stolen property and a fuck boy attitude.
How you gonna call a Hispanic a cracker? What a badass....

I kinda equate Ted Nugent as the white Al SHarpton. He really only serves to promote his brand.
Fact is we do not know who started what, and if Trayvon Martin WAS the aggressor, and started the fight, that doesnt mean any asshole with a gun gets to shoot back. SOmetimes, you just get your ass beat. Plain and Simple.
I do think TM was much more of a hood rat than the media portrayed him to be, and his twitter and comments testified under oath by witnesses attest to that.
Doesnt mean he deserved to get shot.
Ive been consistent in the fact that I do not think GZ Was guilty of 2nd degree murder, and i do not believe racism was a role. I do believe it was a tragedy, a tragedy that showed no evidence of a crime.

I WISH EVERYONE WOULD STFU ABOUT THAT SHIT ALREADY !!!
So tired of it on the TV on the internet Then every fucking person talking about it DAMN!
I'm sick of it as well. Totally agree with Mike here. It was a tradgedy.
This should have been nothing more than a Hispanic security guard getting his ass beat on WSHH.

Really though, what did this event have anything to do with Chicago? Did Trayvon recently move from Chicago or something?

Why should he say the N word? Are you saying you are condoning the use of the N word? I thought it was an offensive word? So Paula Deen was NOT a coward for saying it?
Come on now... make up y'all minds....

It's not that.... he has to funnel every criticism towards racism. Any negativity towards a minority is racism, no matter how accurate or justified the criticism is.
Why should he say the N word? Are you saying you are condoning the use of the N word? I thought it was an offensive word? So Paula Deen was NOT a coward for saying it?

I dont see how he was making that claim. He says:
"Trayvon had no reason not to attack, because it was the standard thug thing to do. See Chicago any day of the week.
With nearly 700 examples of this truism played out in Chicago in 2012 alone, no one can possibly dispute the recent surge in black racism increasing throughout Barack Obama’s presidency."
That isn't about selective outrage. He is claiming Trayvon fought Zimmerman because he wanted to act like a thug from Chicago. I don't understand how he determined that. His statement about the surge of black racism in Chicago seems like a complete non-sequitor.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I am a white American and no one has ever called me racist that I know of.
Then why did you say it was about selective outrage?
Also he starts with an assumption that Trayvon is a thug? The next two lines are unnecessary because the defintion of a thug is someone who is violent. Might as well be saying:
Trayvon is black
Black people have dark skin
Chicago has a lot of black people who have dark skin
Of course Trayvon being black is actually a fact rather than an unjustified assumption so really Nugent's argument isn't quite as coherant. His statement just comes off as an immature way to take a stab at violence in Chicago which isn't relevant to this case.
Something all of you need to realize. Blacks killing blacks is perfectly acceptable to the black community. I could make a case that it is condoned and even glamorized within the community to kill each other and people of other races. Someone of another race kills a black though, they want to claim its the 1950's and lynchings are becoming the norm.
Rev Al and Sluring Jesse NEED these cases to keep up the appearance they are relevant.
BTW, can anyone point out a single act by any of the race baiters or NAACP that actually promoted racial harmony over the last 30 years? I cant think of a single one. I can find dozens of cases for the opposite though.
No it's not perfectly acceptable to the black community. Just do a google search and you will find numerous black leaders talking about how serious an issue it is.
As far as Al and Jessie, they do represent part of the black community but certainly not all of it.
Everything isnt a code word for black.
Someone can say thug and actually mean thug.... thug isnt a synonym for black guy. A thug is someone prone to criminal activity. Someone who might rob houses and pack jewelry into their backpack, someone who might get expelled from school for graffiting it, someone who has gang tattoos and brags about getting in street fights... you know, the type of guy who would see some creepy ass cracker following him and turn around and knock that cracker out.
I wasn't equating the word "thug" to "black", I was exposing the poor logic by using a different term that could be applied to Trayvon. I probably should have chosen a different word since I know you are hypersensitive to race and that apparently distracted you from my point.
I didn't have much trouble (about 2 minutes of searching):

Some good reading here. Cornell West calls the Sandy Hook shootings the "Vanilla side of town". He's as much a leader as David Duke and his bigoted opinions are worthless. From 2012.
Jesse Jackson from 1984?
The second Jackson article is the one I was referring to from 2012.
Sharpton from 2008.
I think you are the only person in the world that believes that.
He's right. No way you could ever find someone using that phrase, with that connotation in a legitimate news source.

Websters dictionary seems to think so too, so I guess I'm not the only person in the world.

Vanilla, in the context Dr. West used it means "lacking distinction". An area of town that wouldn't appear to be the focus of a tragedy like that.
You must be "looking" for another definition because you assume he's race baiting.

Cant win a debate with Blank because he has the ability to make up his own facts and validate them with his own conjecture.
