ZimmerMAN is the hero we deserve

Superman is a stupidly over-powered white minority. Maybe Zimmerman became the neighborhood watch guy because he wanted to be accepted by his gated community? Of course he probably regrets not having a secret identity now.

[Madrun Badrun]

To be honest I think that a Mexican super hero that doesn't wear a stupid wrestling mask is a sign of how far we have progressed in terms of racial acceptance and equality.

Zim vs Oli

Do it, OA.

Zim would just pull a gun and kill him if things started going bad.

Not seeing a downside, tbh.

Also, a man strong enough to drag grown adults out of a crushed car got a life-threatening beating by a 130 pound 17 year old?

trayvon was a distinguished black fellow, they have muscles other races don't, so it wasn't a fair fight and zimmer man had to use lethal force

Did any riots happen over this? I'm in an argument with a dumb person and I want to give him the benefit of a doubt

[Himu]

no

[Mandark]

No riots, but I would love to see the responses to "Were there widespread riots after the George Zimmerman verdict?" in a poll five years from now.

No. But I think it's worth noting that the Al Sharptons of the world are nowhere to be found in terms of acknowledging Zimmerman as a hero after he saved a family from that overturned truck! Typical. 

[helios]

That's what I thought. He responded by saying that he apparently has a different level of access to news. He still won't give me one example of a riot that happened.

To him people simply marching in the street is a riot I bet.

He's an Arab-American, too

[brawndolicious]

Racism against blacks is actually pretty common in the middle-east. I've never really met someone who identifies as arab-american though.

[Himu]

PD did I ever tell you bout that dude in college who gave me a 30 minute rant about how Beethoven was so obviously black?

This dude coming around on facebook telling people to boycott Grand Theft Auto V for the following reasons:

Boycott video Game "Grand theft Auto" 2013

Playing the game or purchasing for others will promote negative stereotypes that ultimately incriminate the populations, or worse (...Trayvon Martin case)

According to Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser, “We’re a long way from having just sort of a great big, white, alpha-male dude running around with a bazooka. Our games aren’t really set up like that. We want to have a character that makes you ask questions — that can be a little confusing in terms of how you empathize with them and how you relate to them….” (so the expendables are the people of color)

Allow children to be children... and allow adults meaningful choices...
We as citizens are promoting stereotypes that will ultimately incriminate our people!!!!
◾You can sleep with a prostitute and then beat her to get your money back.
◾You can drive drunk, and it’s fun.
◾You can perform drive-by shootings.
◾You can carjack.
◾The game is a cop killing simulator.
◾It contains drug use, extreme violence, strong sexual content, profanity, and partial nudity.

I told him he's wrong, violence in media doesn't correlate to real world violence and he posts some link about how video games cause aggression and follows up with a:

In other words when we as Black people, or individuals use our image in a negative fashion, we are ultimately allowing for a rise in negative perception. Since we are now nationally reminded of our appearance(Trayvon Martin case) and how it causes many Americans to live in a state of fear, we must drop all ties with any stereotypes (including television shows, movies, your favorite musician, etc.) that will lead to a free pass to harm, or incriminate us based on gaming characters many will play as a "form of entertainment" for hours on end.

Black people, globally, are having issues with identity. In the eyes of white America, and becoming the entire America, an exaggeratedly large segment of Black America is criminally suspect. This is especially true relative to the Black American male. In the minds of many.... follow me Garrett, for black males to be alive is to be suspected, to be stereotypically accused, convicted and condemned for criminal conspiracy and intent. On the streets, in the subways, elevators, parks, in the "wrong" neighborhood, from late childhood to late adulthood, we are feared, make no mistake sir, we are feared, suspiciously scrutinized, cautiously approached or warily avoided. I am asking you to review the statement, do the research, and ask yourself... Do I really want to be apart of a system (Violent Video Games) that play a major role in the annihilation and self- annihilation of individuals in our society, no matter what color, race or creed???

Why the fuck are our people so fucking horny for goddamn conspiracy theories?

What the fuck does gtav have to do with trayvon martin?

[Human Snorenado]

God, Himuro.  Your fixation with violent games is so lame.  Play some Animal Crossing or something meaningful, I'm so bored with all this "let's kill people shit."

Poor guy thinks people need a reason to be racist, huh?

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you read the post, at all? I am defending violent video games, moron.

[Human Snorenado]

I'm poking fun at you for claiming to be sick of violent video games last month/week/whatever and now defending them, fucktard. 

[Himu]

I am sick of them because they're such a lazy way to make games. He's sick of them because he actually thinks they create violent behavior. two different things.

[Himu]

I know! That's the thing! If violent media featuring black people disappear, black people won't be profiled!

They looked a lot like the tea party riots from a couple years ago.

Yet you're basically rubbing your nipples in anticipation of playing SRIV and GTAV

Did I ever say all games need to be non-violent? And did I ever say I don't like violent games?

[Human Snorenado]

If you wanna support such a lazy way of making video games, be my guest!

Seriously... are you not seeing SOME small amount of hypocrisy in your viewpoint???  I dunno.

[close]

[Himu]

Nope. I'm seeing zero hypocrisy. The context you're missing here is my violent video game thread was made after watching near two hours of first person shooters at the Microsoft E3 conference. I never said all games need to be non-violent. I only ever stressed for more variety to appeal to wider demographics in the mainstream. Somehow you got it into your assperg head that that means I don't like violent video games. I love violent video games; just as much as non-violent video games, in fact. But when I see that the majority of the games being marketed in 20 goddamn 13 are mostly of one type, of course I'm going to vent. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy or partake in violent gaming. That is so unrealistic and practically an impossibility. You're only saying there's something wrong in pointing out the lopsided percentage. I'd LIKE more non-violent games in the mainstream, just like how I'd LIKE more movies with a diverse racial cast. Just because I have a problem with that, doesn't mean I'm going to stop supporting Hollywood films without diverse casting calls.

Jesus, this isn't black and white. Is this a symptom of aspergers?

[Himu]

Haha, time to present my evidence that Jesus was black or middle eastern!

Jesus didnt exist

Now I'm imagining Jesus riding on a chocobo. Thanks scientists!

[Shadow Mod]

Friend pulled me into some stupid fucking FB argument where the people commenting are obviously privileged little shits who can't put themselves in Trayvon's shoes.

"well he should have done things different when it comes to some armed stranger following him"

People who say this shit bust my "I'm going to talk to you nicely about this meter." Zimmerman isn't a cop, isn't a hired security guy and wasn't an actual NHW member. These people would submit themselves so easily to such a person? Yeah right.

[Huff]

Don't get into Facebook arguments. That's like rule number one of life

[Shadow Mod]

Yeah I already backed off. Just people who can't put themselves in Travon's shoes genuinely scare me. These are the people voting in laws that make it okay to basically go ham on other people with weapons.

[Great Rumbler]

A woman who sat on the all-female jury that acquitted George Zimmerman said in an interview set to air Friday that the former neighborhood watch captain "got away with murder" in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

Juror B29, the lone minority on the jury, allowed her face to be shown in her interview with ABC's Robin Roberts and disclosed a first name of Maddy. But the 36-year-old nursing assistant, who is Puerto Rican, did not offer her last name, citing security concerns.

In the interview that will air on "Good Morning America," Maddy said that she and the jurors followed Florida law and the evidence put forth was not sufficient to prove murder. And for that, she said, Zimmerman walked.

"George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God. And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with," Maddy told ABC. "[But] the law couldn't prove it."

Maddy said she expected to be the juror "to give them the hung jury."

"I fought to the end," she said.

[Joe Molotov]

[Yoritomo]

All they had to do was stick to the idea that Zimmerman wasn't under a threat of death or great bodily harm. Great bodily harm is determined by the jury.

Also, on a jury you don't "have" to do anything.

Stick to your guns, huehue, slap him with manslaughter and let the little shit appeal.

[Phoenix Dark]

I don't see how she could give up, if she truly believed that. If that was me I would have stayed as long as possible to ensure either a hung jury or a manslaughter charge.

Its almost as if they are average people.

Nah average people still manage to get out of jury duty. Jurors are the people not even clever enough to do that much or they have an agenda of their own.

Possible but not probable.

I remember during the Scott Peterson trial (this must have been during the time when I gave a fuck about news networks) and did a profile on the jurors.  Most of them were fucking losers.  I know they spent a lot of time on a juror who liked to dye her hair pink, had four kids, never held a job, and apparently started writing to Peterson after the trial: http://www.crimefilenews.com/2006/05/scott-peterson-juror-turned-pen-pal.html

I'm not saying all jurors are that bad but most normal people try to get the fuck out of jury duty any way they can, mostly because they got better shit to do in their lives.  The notion of the fair and impartial noble juror of their peers is something that only exists in civics class.

[Polari]

Oh I don't disagree. It's a sad reality though. People don't seem to place the same value on civic duty that they perhaps used to.
