So—

In Spokane, Washington, two black youths robbed and beat to death an 88 year-old-man.

And you, Goofball, are trying to make something racist out of this!?

Two thugs—juvenile delinquents, who just happen to be black—commit a heinous crime, and that is ipso facto racist?

It is a crime, a brutal murder, and the element of race has nothing to do with it.

And—

The same for the three black teens in Oklahoma who shot the Australian jogger for "sport." They may have been racially motivated, but that certainly doesn't absolve them from committing a brutal and senseless murder.

Now—

In what manner does this excuse George Zimmerman for murdering a black teenager who is guilty of nothing more than going to a nearby convenience store, buying a package of candy and a cup of iced tea, and walking back home, and is murdered by a trigger-happy vigilante for nothing more than being black and wearing a hooded sweatshirt?

(And the jury's absolving Zimmerman has nothing to do with the FACTS. The JURY was prejudiced.)

In none of these cases should the murderers have been absolved, no matter WHAT their race.

And neither Bobert nor I have said otherwise.
