If Trayvon Martin were named Carlos Matinez...
 

...do think any fucks would have been given?

The opening debate questions probably would have been "was he even in the country legally anyways?" instead of outrage...

Would Al Sharpton be doing the radio talkshow cricuit?

Would Obama be pissed off?

You know the answer to all of those question.

Yet, the circus will still rumble on for weeks/months...

great topic for a thread!

im surprised nobody has mentioned this treyvvon guy yet on gfy..its like nobody here watches the news

Nobody gives a fuck as it is, people are just doing real life "sig spot" parking.

another idiot, its his parents who demand justice and answers would you be satified if it were your child? you must not be a parent. dont be mad at blacks for getting issues out in front and center, otherwise this kid would be swept under the rug like so many before him. look into sanford police history. why shouldnt obama be pissed? if he had a son he would look like martin, was that a lie? all he said due to growing part of the population(white, black and hispanic) calling for an arrest that he hopes for a thorough investigation. should he pretend he doesnt have the same color skin? you think he doesnt know that their people who hate him because the color of his skin? think he not aware of the racism towards him? fucking dumb asses im out.

He would have been carrying a burrito and a Dos Equis.

it would be hispanics and al sharpton :2 cents: who the fuck is carlos martinez?

did you stomp your feet really hard while you typed this?

My point was if it was a hispanic, there wouldn't be the outcry there is.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Zimmerman hanged by the neck until dead from what he did...but look at what people are saying and who's saying it. The focal point of this issue shouldn't be race, it should be vigilantism and police brutality.

While you're out, could you grab us all some popcorn or something? kthxbai

The 961st most commonplace name in North America is Carlos Martinez. Carlos Martinezzes nearly include 86,639 people within the US population. The number of Carlos Martinezzes for each 10k sq. mi. is 22. The state that is home to the most recurrent number of Carlos Martinezzes is Texas with roughly 22,775. There are 4,847 phone numbers and 1,639 email addresses connected to Carlos Martinezzes.

my point is if he were hispanic (hence the hispanic name I made up to illustrate the point) there wouldn't be as many shits given...

but whats the if shit about? they want justice for their son. whats your point?

Here's the kicker... In the not too distant future, whites will become the minority in the US. Hispanics will be the majority.

I'm not talking about the family...I'm talking about the media in general and facebook users who want to look like they are socially conscious because they posted about it.

I would just like to see public uproar every time something like this happens, not just because it's a race thing, but because it's a human thing.

Been to LA lately?
