I just don't get how 1 person killing another person of a different race gets so much attention?

But its not a big deal when that race kills its own 1000 times more... and it doesn't even get a second thought.

Makes absolutely no sense to me.

That's like having all of your fingers (except your little finger, its perfectly fine) cut open, infected and bleeding everyday and don't do or think anything about it. BUT, when you get a hang-nail on your little finger you go running and screaming to the emergency room.

    That's not what made it a big deal. The fact that cops hadn't bothered to charge Zimmerman with anything for a month even though everyone knew Zimmerman was the one who killed Martin is what made this case a big deal. It reinforced the belief that law enforcement has double standards where black people are involved.

    Conservatives are getting too carried away with the racism thing. They are trying to exploit this case to discredit "mainstream media." Rather than learn from their past mistakes, they are trying to dominate information sources and brainwash the public into supporting Republicans again.

    The strange claim of self defense by a bigger armed adult against an unarmed smaller child who had done nothing wrong, makes the case notable. It is highly rare in self defense for the pursuer to claim it.

    A good question is why do you want everyone to NOT pay attention to the Zimmerman case? What's your agenda to try to get people to look away at other things? Why can't you hear about it without scrambling to find unrelated black people to criticize?

    Does the idea that racial fears can kill children make you uncomfortable?

    Also comparing the shooting death of an unarmed black child to a hang-nail is callus and borderline racist. I'm sure that his parents experienced real pain. Your mocking of that pain is downright evil.

    Good analogy. The answer to your question is that black on black crime is unexploitable and doesn't pay anything... Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson need white people to make anything... They will even change a persons race to white if need be.

    It's because of the liberal race-baiters that want to divide and conquer us. They don't want us to be unified, so they use stuff like this to divide us. Black v white, rich v poor, Hispanic v black, etc etc etc.
