Why can't we get anything right with race in this country? Whether it's the left jumping immediately on the overwrought hate crime/lynching throwback bandwagon and turning it into a civil rights event, or the right trying to rationalize it as another example of "omgwhatifhewaswhite?", to the media sensationalizing the whole thing, it's just all pathetic. I had never in my life heard the term "white Hispanic" used as a qualifier before this either.
We are such noobs.

Until we stop being dumb asses by trying to balance race and just turn a blind eye to color this type of nonsense will continue.

Yep. Which is why I just shake my head at the people who think the race issues are over in this country. Clearly, they are not.

It's the only way to keep the "scary white guy kills black child" narrative going.
Do you think the New York Times would describe him as a "white hispanic" if he'd won the Nobel prize? Or would he all of a sudden just be Hispanic?

Yes because it's completely normal for the neighborhood watch Captain to mutter "F'ing cxxns!" while chasing a "suspect". Undoubtedly we will find out that he tripped over a foraging racoon while keeping the neighborhood safe from skittles.

There are definite "chicken or egg" components to racism in America.
I.e.:
Is racism prevalent because race is constantly a topic in media? or...
Is race constantly a topic in media because racism is prevalent?
The whole "educate people by constantly reminding them how racism is bad" concept really just pushes race to the forefront, keeping it in peoples' minds and keeping people resentful of the constantly reinforced differences... meanwhile, without laws to protect against racism, we'd be back to Jim Crow laws in 20 years.
I think the answer is to continue to keep laws around to enforce equal treatment and to discourage discrimination, but to teach about sameness rather than about differences and to attempt to minimize or deemphasize differences as much as possible. I don't really have a better answer to that, but the state of affairs also makes me sad.

This is about the good ol boy network,Zimmerman was a judges son and a cop wanna be ,that knew all the local cops by their first names including the chief that stepped down and He has had multiple arrest for violent crimes that all were settled among the good ol boys.This IMO proves what I've been saying for awhile...good ol boys can get away with almost anything including murder ,the only thing that good ol boys get in trouble for is screwing with other good ol boys
The only race issues was Zimmerman's bias in singling the kid out and the fact that black people can't be good ol boys.

I couldn't agree more. The main reason I think this happens is because one side always wants to stick it to the other. Sad is the perfect word for this.
