Racism in the case of Trayvon Martin?? No way....

Okay... 

Like I stated in my previous post, I am in NO way racist. I have black friends. I have black cousins. I probably AM black somewhere down my line if you look at my wide nose, big hips and thighs, and the gap between my teeth (and judge based on stereotype)... but I am SO sick of black people blaming EVERYTHING on race/racial issues. I really am not afraid to call a black person out on being racist towards whites (or any other race). In fact.... I did so this morning via Facebook because of the Trayvon Martin verdict. The conversation was as follows with the status she posted being what started the whole thing.

___________________________________________________________________________________
"THIS JUST LETS ME KNOW MY WORTH IN A COUNTRY I WAS BORN IN SHIT BLACKS AINT ASK TO BE HERE Y'ALL WHITE MFS STOLE US FROM OUR MOTHERLAND BUT SHIT Y'ALL DONT BELONG HERE EITHER STOLE THIS LAND FROM THE INDIANS BUT WE THE MINORITY AND INFERIOR TO Y'ALL FUCK Y'ALL I SAID YOU DONT LIKE IT DELETE ME" 
ME = George Zimmerman is Hispanic. Just so you're aware before condemning the "white" race.  

HERI KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HIS THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AINT HISPANIC   
 I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE IS AND LIKE I SAID IN MY STAT YOU DONT LIKE WHAT I SAID DELETE ME 
ME =  I'm not deleting you. I'm stating another opinion. You don't like mine, delete ME. I don't think justice was served in this case either but I'm saying that you're sounding a little racist yourself. No one is happy with this. And it's ultimately the all woman jury and the judge presiding over the case's fault. I have very little faith in our country right now.
 HER = WELL I GUESS IM A RACIST

*sigh...*

So now there's that. I did not CALL her racist *as you can see.* I said she sounded racist. She is the one who said "I guess I'm a racist." I did not caps lock her to death, and I kept a pretty cool head about it all. I just really felt like screaming toward the end, which is why I just stopped talking. If me stating, "you sound racist" was the only thing out of that whole comment that she got, then I guess the shoe fits. I did not tell her that the absolute head of our judicial system is our president... who happens to be a black man. I did not tell her that there are plenty of government officials who are ALSO black. The whole of the judicial system is NOT white... and for her to condemn the race as a whole and the judicial system as a whole (by saying we're all white and fuck us) is SEVERELY racist! But I guess it's not politically correct to say she's racist since I'm white and she's black, right? It should be the other way around?

I also want to state that I, in no way, violated her privacy rights by posting that conversation since it's already on a public networking site, and all names and links have been removed. 

I'm over this double standard that society has. It's not okay for a white woman to say the word "nigger" THIRTY YEARS AGO, but it's okay for a black man to rap the word 48 times on one CD since those are "his people?" If one person gets punished we all should. If "nigger" is SUCH a bad and derogatory term then why is it okay for black people to say it? I'm sorry... if you're allowed to keep using the word, why can't I? Because I'm white? ::shakes head::

I do not agree with the Trayvon Martin verdict! 

I believe George Zimmerman had no right to kill that boy. However... I CANNOT CHANGE IT.  And honestly, neither can anyone else. It was the same way with the Caylee Anthony verdict. Casey walked. Ten days later no one gave a crap and went on with their lives. Harsh words? Yes. True? Yes. This will be the same way. America will be outraged by the Florida court system all over again...appalled! Absolutely disgusted. But in two weeks? You'll barely hear a thing about it. That's how our society works. And it's pretty sad.

America is obviously still racist.
I just happen to think that the "white" race isn't the problem anymore.
