I am guessing this gets way more coverage than the syria invasion over the next week.

If the Miley Cryus VMA thing is any measure of what most Americans want from the news your observation is correct.

Quote:An exhaustive survey of news sources now reveals exactly how much attention Miley steals: Americans viewed twelve times as many pages about Miley Cyrus as they did about Syria — even though the news sources published 2.4 Syria articles for every one about Miley.

White Florida Man Dresses As Dead Trayvon Martin for Halloween

   

Quote:What kind of people would use the weekend before Halloween as an excuse to dress up as an infamous acquitted murderer and his black teenage victim? The Smoking Gun has the answer and it will not surprise you: white dudes in Florida.

Greg Cimeno, the 22-year-old Cape Coral bro dressed as George Zimmerman, commented on the photo, "Anything for the laugh." William Filene, the 25-year-old in Trayvon Martin blackface, pleaded guilty over the summer to felony auto theft (mugshot here). Caitlin Cimeno, the woman in between them who posted the photo on Facebook, has used social media to comment on race before:

In August, Cimeno also posted a photo of an African American girl wearing a t-shirt reading “Black Girls Rock.” In her accompanying caption, Cimeno wrote, “First of all, sorry Hun but mommy lied to you & secondly if I was wearing a shirt that said something like the truth 'white girls rock' I would be stared at and called a racist cracker.”

Imagine that.

Cinemo, whose Instagram is now private, includes the bio, "Stand For What a You Believe In And Make Sure You Stand Your Ground."

Not trying to rehash the case. I just hope both sides might see that sometimes having freedoms mean you don't always use it.

George Zimmerman provokes fury on Twitter AGAIN after posting image of Trayvon Martin's lifeless body.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...l-facebook

I didn't want to post the photo of the kid. Thats too fucked up. Zimmerman just can't lay low.
SamuelBRoberts · 2015-09-28 12:50:00 · #856
That's pretty funny.

Good for Zimmerman. Martin's attack could've killed him, and he only survived because he was well-prepared enough to have a gun on hand in case of emergencies. He also had the presence of mind to use it and the wit to keep Martin from grabbing it and killing him with it. Even after all that's happened, Zimmerman's got a right to be proud of himself, I think.
Samseau · 2015-09-28 13:22:00 · #857
Zimmerman represents the stark reality for Black Americans in a Hispanic majority future. You think the White Americans were jerks? You haven't seen anything yet. Hispanics have exactly 0.0% guilt over any past wrongs and see Blacks as the criminal class. They will have no moral compunctions treating Blacks like third-class citizens. And Blacks cannot expect Whites to defend them against the Hispanics, because Whites are hamstrung with being accused of racism against any non-White (including Hispanics).

Hispanics see the cash cow (Whites), they see their minority competition (Blacks), and they will show no mercy in winning this contest. Blacks who do not vote to close the border will be the first victims of America's multicultural experiment.
Rhyme or Reason · 2015-09-28 13:29:00 · #858
^^ Agreed. The idea that it's "Cishet White men vs everybody else" is bullshit. White people are the least racist of any ethnic group. Mexicans and blacks hate each other far more than your average white guy hates anyone else. The idea that minorities all get along is an immature, facile perspective held only by leftist professors who reside far, far away from the culturally "enriched" areas they are so apparently fond of.

I think most blacks are at least somewhat aware of this. I've seen the animosity first hand. Latinos and blacks absolutely hate each other at the street level. This may not be as true on the east coast but it's true on the west for sure in the more "urban" environments when I was growing up at least.

It's also pretty well known that in the prison system that white supremacist gangs team up with latinos to gank blacks. Just think about the deeper implications of that.

Multiculturalism is and always been a bad experiment that was proven wrong decades ago. You can't just toss people together from very different cultures and backgrounds and expect everything to run smoothly. Hierarchies develop and people are always unhappy or jockeying for position.

This has always been a weird anglo egalitarianism ideal that has no bearing on reality. Cheap Labor was a big part of it too though.

You really think it's smart for him or in any way honorable for him to be joking about it and posting pictures of the guy's lifeless body?

If he really just defended himself, sure, justified self-defense. I still don't see the need to have it be something to brag about.

"Smart" is a question I can't answer. I don't know what his circumstances are. I'd imagine that everybody around him has already made up their minds about the case, so this won't affect his personal life one way or the other.

As for "honorable", I see nothing wrong with it. Zimmerman was the victim of a vicious, unprovoked attack by a man who jumped him and slammed his head against the concrete. He has every right to be proud of the fact that he made it out alive, and he has every right to brag about the thug he killed.

It's trolling. After all the shit that was thrown at him by the left, he's doing what needs to be done. They need to be trolled mercilessly on this after all the threats, lies they told about him, and the frivolous criminal case. They tried to ruin him because of politics and used the state as a weapon against him. Fuck them.

I like how you always have a contrarian comment to make anytime anyone contradicts the whites vs. everyone else narrative.

In another thread, it was very unsurprising that you only made a prescription against the white nationalist scenario of my three ideas of what my future could entail under extreme circumstances. This is relevant because I see you trolling several threads with the same type of responses continuously.

Here's your formula:

Someone says something that legitimizes or decriminalizes whites.
You make assertion that the person is wrong whith or without evidence.

Rudebwoy was shitting up the Europe thread with the same garbage; "evil white colonialism, oppression! unique white violence! barbarism unique to whites!"

This happens because you see ideas proliferating that don't work for your benefit or expose bullshit that's propped up in the mainstream that benefits your ethnic group.

The 3 guesses I gave at what the future could hold for me:

-move to south America to other mestizo societies.
-I'm killed by the increasing violence of young black males against whites in America, my son is a bastard and my wife is probably victimized in the future herself.
-white nationalists take an extreme stance and purge my family by exodus or death

How come you were unwilling to give an alternative to the current route of black mob violence on whites, while promoting work against white nationalism?


You don't care and have no more desire for national integration than black lives matter lackeys, black interests groups and blacks in general for that matter. I'll still have a high probability of getting robbed or murdered like other whites, but that's not your concern because white people owe the world and they're totally racist anyway.

I'm brining this up because I'm tired of it permeating every ethnic discussion, especially by people who only studied victim history or its synonymous counterpart, liberal college history.

That's the reason I stopped giving a damn about anything afflicting black America because honestly, the continued political actions and individual sentiments show me that you're not our countrymen, contrary to what I had hoped. If black America faces disastrous events in the near future, just know you dug your own graves with constant antagonism toward Anglo-American culture and providing sanctuary for breeding legitimacy of every enemy from communism to Islamic extremists.

What will make black people actually integrate for once and stop trying to steer one wheel of the entire country left while the other three are going right? I don't have any hope left you will or care to.

Food for thought:

Black lives matter is an open campaign of black racial vengeance of real or perceived slights; an open campaign to kill whites with impunity.

You know I'm pretty sure The Zimzam was a liberal shitlib to the core of his heart, but after getting the full extent of the grinder that is the mainstream media and everybody wanting a piece of him, he became liberated in a way that a very few ever get liberated. He is the most hated man in America, he has been reported as white, people condemned him for guilty and to be killed since the first second the story broke. I mean for fuck's sake, even after all these years they're STILL pushing and never letting go of the "He dindu nuffin he a good boy he just a chile!" angle even though everybody knows by now that this "child" was a 18yo tall football player who smoked some dank weed and was up for the usual thuggery. Is it really any wonder he embraced the hate and likes trolling these people? Good on him actually. Most of the shitlibs can't think any lower of him, he might as well embrace this freedom and just do whatever he wants

I mean just think about it for a second: if the media reported it impartially and then quieted down after the trial, do you really think he'd want to raise his profile even higher? He'd lay low and just keep shut and to himself. But people still think he's worse then Hitler. If I would've been in his shoes and put through the same ordeal as he was, I'd be mercilessly trolling the fuck out of all the people who flung shit at me till the end of my days. And to be honest, dude is hilarious in his trolling, like selling his pictures on ebay or doing ads for the NRA

Hahaha nice, good on you Zimmerman. The left wants you as their sacrificial lamb, better to be a lamb that bites.

Funny how in every news report, they make an extra special point of saying "Trayvon the unarmed black 17 year old", not "Trayvon the thug who tried to crack his head open on concrete". The mainstream media truly are an immoral, malevolent bunch.

Same thing with the Ferguson kid... they always referred to him as a boy or child.. that dude was bigger then Kimbo Slice

An look at the pic they use in the link posted above, a pic of Trayvon when he was 12 and the mug shot of Zimmerman... just to keep up the imagine that Trayvon was just a baby and Zimmer is evil criminal....

What does this have to do with anything?

Your post reminds of that, as well written as it was, it's still an unrelated rant to a perceived slight that occurred sometime well before. I'm sure it'll still get lots of likes, lots of people around these parts share the sentiment. But it's still totally unrelated to class in Latin America.

I feel for those people. They need to travel more and see the world. There's an easy way to not be a victim, don't have the mindset of one. Doesn't matter what ethnicity a person is, if they constantly think someone's out to get them, they'll eventually find that someone.
TonySandos · 2015-09-28 22:42:00 · #869
Djemba, I posed that comment because of the nature of the commentary. I may have tried to spur reaction, but I'm seriously wanting a better answer than the typical nonsense many speak. You've commented on the other Eurocentric or racial heated threads while your identity is "out there" so that's why I ask. I'd hope that at least in an anonymous board there could be some more novel response.

Here, Samseau claimed that latin americans wouldn't be kind if they held an ethnic majority in the US, notably a Mexican majority. You stated that wasn't the case. I believe more in line with what samseau said due to my experiences, but all these claims are anecdotal is the problem. The reply rang with the sentiment of America is where racism is, not other places. The bottom line is out of all he said, that reply is unnervingly inadequate. The meat of the idea lied in this;

"Blacks cannot expect Whites to defend them against the Hispanics, because Whites are hamstrung with being accused of racism against any non-White (including Hispanics).

Hispanics see the cash cow (Whites), they see their minority competition (Blacks), and they will show no mercy in winning this contest. Blacks who do not vote to close the border will be the first victims of America's multicultural experiment."

Everywhere you turn there's convenient silence on this.

I looked through the previous entries in this thread and found the typical shaming language and "you can't understand!" "shut down the thread!" The east and west of the Atlantic could be heading for a melt down soon, but no where is there an honest dialog. You're right to perceive a slight. My fellow man has let me down time and time again. I don't have enough faith in other members to pose the question. I do accuse the majority of being compliant in the overarching race narrative because it's beneficial or convenient. I'll take the judgment off you because you've been level headed and I don't know all of your character, but what do you pose to do away with Americas supposed unique racism? How are we really going to survive the future with such high levels of internal strife? If segregation isn't the answer and many black American's want to be here, why are they all non-compliant socially and purposefully silent or brave on mending the race issues?

Too bad every single person I've spoken with from SA have told me the race hierarchy is the same or worse than in the states. In fact it's implicit. White > all, even the metzos believe in it.

It even gets it's own wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_South_America

Roosh has also written how a blonde-haired blue-eyed White man gets laid non-stop anywhere in SA.

Furthermore, I don't consider any of this "racist." It's not racist to acknowledge Whites have better standards of living, or are more beautiful, and non-Whites want it. I can acknowledge this without being full White myself! There's no left-wing doublespeak in South America and race-relations are way more honest there. It's obvious Hispanics place Whites over Blacks when you judge both their words and deeds, and Zimmerman is an all-too-real life example.

^ Correct me if I'm wrong, Zimmerman's instructions as a community watchman were to alert police of any suspicious activity and not to engage with the any person or people suspected of such activity.

That's the thing that always seemed shitty about the Zimmerman case. Yeah, he defended himself according to stand your ground laws, but he had no business speaking with Trayvon Martin in the first place.

Also, he's the only person alive who knows what he said to Martin before Martin started beating his ass...

Come on...

Assuming the guidelines for his neighborhood watch gig are correct, Zimmerman - when acting as neighborhood watch - explicitly did not have permission to speak with Martin and (according to the same guidelines) should have called the cops if he thought anything was suspicious.

The media and various advocacy groups always have this ongoing narrative where every black man who's killed in this type of incident is depicted as a young innocent boy.

Trayvon was a tall fairly fit guy and Michael Brown was big, thuggish, and intimidating. Neither of these guys were "boys" in any sense.

In the case of Trayvon the media even went a step further by only showing images of him of when he was an actual kid. This is the blatant dishonesty in journalism that goes on in mainstream America these days.

The whole theory that the mainstream U.S. media is selling a race war seems more and more convincing especally when you see this level of misleading propaganda.

It's clearly a case of two less than decent people getting into an altercation and one just happened to get capped. It could have easily been another outcome on any other day involving the same or different people. This happens all the time in the hood as well except it's usually black on black violence. Even NBA stars got roped into this and started to tweet pics with Trayvon solidarity hoodies.

Black advocacy groups would do much better focusing on real incidents of police brutality like that one guy who was shot in the back like 5 times while running away. Crying "wolf" and playing the race card at very grey area incidents like the Trayvon debacle or shedding crocodile tears for that thug Michael Brown (or in the past like OJ) just destroys credibility with most people who are just neutral.

Very good points.

I think what happens is people are quick to pick a side without looking at each individual situation separately.
