Guest LadyC Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 this may be a little.. umm... insensitive, but.... if THIS is a racially motivated response to treyvon martin's death, then why didn't the handful of black men attack a mexican man, instead of a white man? after all, zimmerman (the man who killed treyvon) was mexican, not white. and surely these thugs who attacked the guy the other night can tell the difference between mexican and white, can't they?

His father was white but his mother was Peruvian. Not too uncommon in FLorida. Grew up with two kids whose father was white (spoke fluent Spanish) but their mother was Latin-American. She was a combination of Columbian and either Paraguay or Pananamian. I know this newspaper. I used to live in that town for several years then lived in the country right outside that town for several more years. I think I may know what kind of location that occurred in. And this attack was beyond stupid. But of course, we have certain people to thank for stirring the pot with this.

Please....take that nonsense somewhere else. It is not nonsense, it is the truth. Look at the demographics and get back to me. Then we can talk.

Guest HisG Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Skin colour aside - families are being affected here either way - we are talking mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters etc...

It was African American leaders like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who incited the people and made it about race.

I doubt any one from Africa claims them. They are also not leaders of the black community. The are self appointed spokesman when its time to be on channel 5, 9, 3, or 11. If I didn't mention your station sorry. But you will find them there. Sadly the media, and those who are often grieving when these guys come along don't chase them away. It's nice to hear that being spoken. There's too much "us" and "them" going on rather than just acknowledging people as people with cultural hang-ups that need to be treated with a high dose of love.
