The only race bautubg is by you thinly veiled white suppremcists trying to defend Zimmerman and vilify Trayvon.And if unicorns could use assault rifles we would have won in vietnam.
Your race-baiting is tiresome. Your attempts at psychoanalysis are humorous, though.
Also, there's no history of American treatment of unicorns, probably because they're not easily found in the USA.
But there is a RECORD of racial injustice by American courts nad police. There's TONS of research, historical and contemporary, which make plausible my supposition that a Black Zimmerman who killed a white Trayvon would have bearrested and charged beginning on February 26. Moreover, these racial inequities privileging whites and disadvantaging people of color are of such longstanding, and have been verified so long, that it requires stupidity, dishonesgty or BOTH for anyone to deny it--or to hypocritically label as "race baiting" a critique of racism such as I have offered.
So, I don't know how things work in your imaginary world of uniforms, elves and centaurs. In the REAL WORLD--the one in which Trayvon Martin's life was snuffed out-- racial injustice is alive and kicking.
And posts by you and a number of others mainly work to support that injustice.

Very well said Sir.
The only mythoogical universe is your imaginary world of unicorns where race is not an issue. Now, you are dismissed.
Especially in Sanford Florida with the hidden history of Goldsboro.
When Chief Lee was appointed with the mission of restoring trust in the police force from Black inhabitants in 2011. A complete failure.

Your talk of eradicating races is empty words. The fact that ou accept institutionalized racial inequalties clearly evidence that.
You want to have racist power, and thus racism, intact. But you don't want to RECOGNIZE tace. Whites are dominant in EVERY facet of American society, and they know it.
And this shows the hypocrisy of the reactioonary, and it makes it much clearer why sociologist Robert C. Smith would title his book: CONSERVATISM AND RACISM, AND WHY IN AMERICA THEY ARE THE SAME.
Prior to the 1970s, you rightwingers were more open with your racism. But the 1960s made mor open racism disreputable. You still want to have your racism and privilege, but you wanted it concealed.
Futhermore, innumeralbe WHITE SCHOLARS have pointed out the presistence of racism and white privilege in various works, from Ezorsky's RACISM AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE, to Richard Dyer's WHITE, to George Frederikcson's WHITE SUPREMACY, to Tim Wise's WHITE LIKE ME, or Peggy McIntosh's article "White Privilege and Male Privilege" that appears in Patricia Hill's RACE, CLASS AND GENDER: AN ANTHOLOGY. And I could go on and on and on.
I've little patience with whites to claim not to know about racial inequalties than benefit them collectively, and often personally. They're either disingenuous or foolish, maybe both. Either way, they're culpable. For as Aristotle noted centuries ago, there's such a thing as CULPABLE IGNORANCE.
And after centuries of this crap, after innumerable white writers and thinkers (not to mention black, Latin, Asian and others), there's no longer an excuse for your not knowing. Your ignorance is part of the fault.
When whites pretend not to know about institutionalized racial inequalities, and pretend that race can be made to disappear simply by ignoring it, I hold them to be MORE responsible than OPEN racists who at least admit what they are.
For to conceal racism is also to practice it. And if you REALLY don't know what I mean when i speak of institutionalized racism and white privilege, tnen do some freakng homework.
But you don't get to hold on to the racist order of things, to white privilege, and at the same time try to make disappear from awareness by averting the eyes or by a slippery use of words.

KING'S HUMANISTIC AUDACITY
(Speech in Oslo at reception of Nbbel Prize)
"I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits."
Indeed. So, let it be for every man, woman and child on earth.
FREEDOM RISING!!!

Dr. King was aware of the limited intellectual capacities of racists like Masud, but thought it remediable by progressive social reforms which would include a decent education and better diet.

Dr. King & the Global fight for Justice.
Dr. King long believed in the need for a global fight for economic justice. Since the Occupy Movement has taken on global dimensions, it would be well that it also regards its struggle as international as well as national.
The 1% is s global elite. Humanity can only win the fight for economic as well as social & political democracy by means of global solidarity.

Dr. King & Global Justice: Univ of Oslo Lecture
While in Scandinavia to receive the Nobel Prize, Dr. King made the following remarks about the fight against poverty as a global fight:
"The time has come for an all-out world war against poverty. The rich nations must use their vsst resources of wealth to develop the undeveloped, school the unschooled, and feed the unfed. Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation. No individual or nation can be great if it does not have a concern for "the least of these." Deeply etched in the fiber of our religious tradition is the conviction that men are made in the image of God and that they are souls of infinte metaphysical value, the heirs of a legacy of dignity and worth. If we feel this as a profound moral fact, we cannot be content to see men hungry, too see men victimized with starvation and ill health when we have the means to help them. The wealthy nations must go all out to bridge the gulf between teh RICH MINORITY and the POOR MAJORITY." (THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., P.261; speech given on December 11, 1964)
Same struggle, both domestically & globally.

FANON Agrees with KING
Fanon agrees with King on the issue of economic justice, but is more BLUNT and doesn't make King's Christian moral appeals.
Hence Frantz Fanon writes: "The fundamental duel between colonialism and anticolonialism, and indeed between capitalism and socialism, is already losing some of its impotance. What counts today, the question which is looming on the horizon, is the need for a REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH. Humanity must reply to this question, or be shaken to pieces by it." (THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH, P.98 of edition translated by Constance Farrington).
So the atheistic humanist coincides with the Christian humanist.

King more BLUNT
Dr. King is more blunt about the need for economic justice in later years.
If you check out a film called CITIZEN KING, you will note one speech (around about 1967), in which King calls for "a radical redistribution of political and economic power."
Such must be the goal of the 99% Movement.
fINALLY, I think that the 99% Movement needs to take another look at the Economic Bill of Rights that Dr. King and his supporters wanted to promote at the Poor Peoples Campaign in Washington, DC in 1968.
I will say more on that later.
