That was a prosecutor who said that and I wouldn't trust either of them to tell me what day of the week of it is.

Regardless, The fact that the kid came to the door and the fact that the man fired a shot is not contested. It doesn't prove racial motive or disprove a misinterpretation of what he was doing there.

'We don't have any real proof yet but its definitely a racist committing a hate crime' is a bullshit tactic that is used way too often these days.




Yep, yep.

It was the investigating police officers who where called to the scene by the women who answered the door that watched the camera footage to determine whether they where arresting a 50 year old man or 14 year old kid.

If George Zimmerman didn't get charged with a hate crime then there's no such thing. Just take it off the books.

While I can certainly understand how this can be viewed as Trayvon being pursued because of bias, a trial by jury found that when you are pinned on the ground getting your head bashed you can defend yourself.

I'm not a big fan of "Stand your Ground", outside your own home, but if there was no crime verdict and the Federal review found a charge of Hate crime to be unsupported in this case. Maybe this one case shouldn't be a hingepin issue.

After all there were over 6,000 Criminal Cases in 2016 that did meet the standard and were classified as such

On April 11, a sociology professor at a community college in New Jersey allegedly had a profanity-laced response to a conservative student when the student articulated his beliefs regarding sexual harassment, yelling, “F*** your life.”

A white man was told he is not being hired despite meeting all the qualifications for a role because he is white
do you think this is right or wrong? personally I believe in the free market and think businesses have a right to hire and fire whomever they please for any reason

After interviewing for a senior role in a large, well-known Canadian organization, I was told by the recruiter‎ that, despite “hitting all the high notes from a capabilities and experience” perspective, their client ”couldn’t do it. White males just won’t cut it. I am so sorry as I wouldn’t have gone this far with you if I had known this beforehand.”

What, if anything, should I do about this? In the push for greater diversity, how should organizations protect themselves to ensure that their actions are not, in fact or in appearance, discriminating against one pool of candidates in favour of another?

Wrong because we have anti-discrimination laws that whites have to adhere to. Get rid of them and it's fair game.
