Also, lol Hes also playing this game where he keeps throwing on "oh yeah, same goes for the Zimmerman supporters, too!" as some kind of cover at the end of his posts. He's upset over the protestors, though. Those were only TM supporters and were, I'm fairly certain, overwhelmingly black.

By the way, your position should be: "God it's ****ing tragic that so many people are completely desensitized to the violence that surrounds their day to day lives that events like this hardly elicit much emotion. but hey, at least people will still get upset over racism."

TM is more important and it's not ****ing close. One of them is a standard run-of-the-mill open-and-shut shooting, one of them involves half of America standing up for and cheering a vigilante killing an unarmed black kid. Are you really this stupid to think that people care about something with vast implications for society because of television?

When looking at the reasons why people care about the Trayvon Martin case, I think I'm going to look a little beyond the opinion of the ****** who just wishes everyone would stop talking about events that happen outside their gated community.

btw, following the "movie industry is imploding" discussion from the normal forum, you should probably hint to media companies that they use their magical television-caring powers to make people go see The Lone Ranger and John Carter. Like, these companies own media empires complete with television stations and apparently control what the sheeple are thinking, why can't they get our asses in the theater to see their quarter-billion dollar blockbusters?!

Actually, IMO the GZ supporters were more ****ed in the head than the TM supporters. I mean at least the TM supporters were supporting an injustice where someone died (even though they didn't know him and what happened to TM is a dime a dozen occurrence). The GZ supporters were actually rooting for someone they don't know and justifying him shooting TM. That is some real TV worshipping brainwashing right there. If you put a black person in front of me arguing for Trayvon and a white person in front of me arguing for GZ, I can guarantee you the white person arguing for GZ would make my blood boil.

I'm not associating color at all with the TM supporters. I'd be willing to bet more white people were upset/cared about the verdict than black people, just based on the relatively low % of blacks that make up the population. Do you have Facebook? It was non-stop chaos on my newsfeed over the verdict and most of my FB friends are white, and it was overwhelmingly sad/mad posts about the verdict.

Unarmed teenagers being racially profiled, then murdered, is a dime a dozen occurrence? Really? Or is it actually just that you have no ****ing idea why people care about the TM case?

Like I said... TV worshipping zombies who care about what the TV tells them to care about.

No, it's because they're vile racist idiots. They don't need the television to tell them to act out that part of their character. Your whole argument is basically "it's because of TELEVISION, because, umm.....I said so", with your expertise on the subject being that you hate television and wish they would stop telling us what happens more than 5 miles outside our homes.

I was out of the country throughout the TM trial, so I wasn't paying attention to much of any media while it was going on. When I came back, however, I began to notice this "The media made up all the racial aspects of this case" narrative being pimped HARD on places like FB. Is this another horrible result of the not guilty verdict? That it makes idiot racists like Silver Man think that the media and Al Sharpton made it all up and that the thousands (millions?) of people upset over the case were just being manipulated?

No, I just find it funny that after the verdict people a continent away were marching in the streets by the thousands making national news and probably 99% of those bozos out there never got off the couch to protest and march over the injustices/murders in their own community. It's backwards.

lol, are you Nichlemn's gimmick?

Never brought up Al Sharpton and what he did was completely standard. Being upset about Sharpton's involvement would be the same as being upset at the sky being blue when waking up in the morning

I'm not injecting race into this at all. The only way you could call me a racist here is by saying I'm racist because people shouldn't care about this because the victim was black. And all I am saying is that I find it fascinating that people care about this injustice a continent away when they don't march in the street over the injustices in their own community that happen every single day. And that is why they are TV worshipping zombies.

So basically you're just imposing your own value judgements, where YOU care more about local things than national things, on everyone else. It has not occurred to you at all that other people may care more about society as a whole than events taking place only directly around them.

Cool story bro, thanks for playing.

Silver_Man is just a free thinker who doesn't care about anything that doesn't personally effect him but also he's CHOCK FULL of fun facts and strong opinions about how Barack Obama wasn't a professor at UofC

Don't forget, he's colorblind.

TM is a celebrity because he is on the mainstream media, and that is the only reason most people care about him. All those people wrapped up in the case or protesting (white and black) haven't done a damn thing about the violence in their own communities.

They are brainwashed zombies that only care about the celebrity of TM, and not the person, or victims in their own communities that are only on TV for 2 minutes on the nightly news.

BEing mad about the TM case and verdict was a fad...the tv worshipping zombies care about what the TV tells them to care about at the moment.

No matter how many times you keep repeating your asinine claim, it's still wrong. Sorry.

ehhh...sorta...not really though...

Here is a local fatal shooting from today or tonight. All I had to do was google Phoenix local news and within 3 seconds I found a local murder/injustice.

I mean it sucks that this guy died, but I don't really care that much.
Should I be caring about Traayvon injustice more than the injustice of this guy being fatally shot here in west Phoenix? I care about each murder the same, which isn't that much. Should I become emotionally invested and care about Trayvon more than this dude who got a whole 2 paragraphs of media attention?

How does a thread like this exist. Yes you should care about the tm case more than some local murder that just happened. Why? Because you know all the facts in the tm case. You don't know the facts in the murder you just googled.

As for tm case obama had to speak up about it. Now all the conservatives are all mad. Saying crap like he should stay neutral. Its different rules for this president he is the first of his kind. All the conservatives should put a sock in it. Start worrying about change. Instead of trying to impeach obama or block all his policies.

Who the **** cares about TM. Can't we just go back to playing, Am I racist if ....

1- past tense bro. TM isn't a concept that exists to make you mad- but a dead child.

2- always nice for the racist who makes it a point to trumpet his lack of empathy to whitexplain to us why people felt upset about the dead child in the most dismissive way possible.

This thread is a pretty good example of how Silver Man would feel if society made it clear just how little they value people like him. Pretty frustrating to be consistently told that you're a piece of crap (and to be clear- he's a GIANT piece of crap). How might he feel if he was considered so inhuman that people defended his murder simply because of what he was and not what he did. Dude's plenty salty just off some spite on the Internet - but black people were just manipulated into their opinions by Obama and the media. Sure thing boss.

And, again, Silver Man has no clue how any of these people spend their free time. The only way he knew about the protests was because of the media, which is hilarious given the goofy position he's taken in this thread.

I can't decide if I hate that people are doing what the title says, or if it's good that it's a trap.

Silver,

Why do you keep ignoring the fact that Trayvon Martin became a national story not because a white-Hispanic dude killed a black kid. That's not what people were mad about, and that's not why the press covered it so much. If that murder were to have gone down like so many other murders, it would not have been a national story. Trayvon Martin became a household name because everyone knew who the killer was, and yet the killer wasn't even arrested. That's why everyone was mad and why the press covered it so much. Next time you want to compare a murder to Trayvon's and accuse us for being hypocrites for not caring about it as much, make sure that the killer is known and has not been arrested.
