    Based on how they are handling this case, I guess the police want 'race riots' in Florida

    I stopped reading once the insults starting flying off the handle. The way I see it, both of them are at fault regardless of who instigated it first. In this tragedy, likely it's Zimmerman. Having said that, I got a feeling the black kid wouldn't back down and likely copped up an attitude and soon thereafter the scuffle began ending in a tragedy.

    Regardless, had the victim not been black, this story wouldn't have gotten the national attention its recieved.

    And don't tell me he's a kid and he's innocent and all that as we all know better than that with kids these days.

    and to the guy with the will smith comment, i corrected myself in my next post. apologies.

    Pau Gasol is Spanish. Hispanic refers to a demographic of people who live in contries that were once ruled under and have roots tied to Spain.

    Except he keeps ignoring my question as to whether or not he would have made this thread based on the fact had he known George Zimmerman was of Hispanic Origin.

    He missed that "Spot"

    I am assuming that you are being sarcastic, but I didn't quite catch your drift on that one. Are you saying that Pau Gasol isn't Spanish?

    ,,,Just like Sicilians are black,,,, 


    I am assuming that you are being sarcastic, but I didn't quite catch your drift on that one. Are you saying that Pau Gasol isn't Spanish?

    People from Spain are mostly White Europeans and I don't think that they refer to themselves as "Hispanic" at all. In Europe you have Germans, Italians, Polish, Spanish etc...

    ,,,,Your assumption is correct but the comment is also relative at the same time...

     

    Pau Gasol is a white guy in my world...Also,there is nothing wrong with him being a white guy. I heart all kinds of people. There is bad in all races...

    I never said that he wasn't White, but he is not Hispanic as someone stated earlier.

    Hispanic describes countries or cultures that were once under Spanish rule like Mexico, Central America, and most South America where Spanish is the main language spoken.

    it's on the US census fellas

    8. Is the person of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin?

    • No, not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin
    • Yes, Mexican, Mexican Am., Chicano
    • Yes, Puerto Rican
    • Yes, Cuban
    • Yes, another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin — Print origin, for example, Argentinean, Colombian, Dominican, Nicaraguan, Salvadoran, Spaniard, and so on.


    the LANGUAGE is what matters here, regardless of colonized/colonizer. race has no bearing on the term hispanic. none. all it means is of spanish speaking descent.

    It's pretty amazing that you keep asking the question that's been answered.

    I answered it in post #86 and post #85 and then referred you to those posts in post #182.

    If it isn't clear after going back and reading those threads, the answer to your question is YES I WOULD HAVE. 

    Just as the national conversation concerning this boy's life and unwarranted death continues, so would I continue it with a thread here.

    Regardless, had the victim not been black, this story wouldn't have gotten the national attention its recieved.

    And don't tell me he's a kid and he's innocent and all that as we all know better than that with kids these days.


    Hidden message: "Those thug-like black youths today...always pushing people's buttons without knowing their place."

    It's remarkable this segregation-era mindset persists in 2012.

    Then again, look what happened to Trayvon...

    He's dead and this poster (well-known for his stances on race on this site) feels it necessary to speculate about an 'attitude' the kid may have had when in reality HE may have been the one defending himself.

    Then he amazingly ends the post with a peace sign.

    Ya can't make it up.

    Well, the Philippines did go through a Spanish colonial period at one point in the past.
