Jury of all WHITE Women from a very conservative community. It is also the community that ran Jackie Robinson out of town.
Still, the system worked. The Jury was of Zimmerman's peers Not TM's as intended.

His father is Caucasian and mother Hispanic. How "white" do you have to be "white enough" to join the club?
Not true. 5 white women and one black or Hispanic woman. The race card only gets pulled in this country when it benefits the one pulling it. If Martin had killed Zimmerman, we would've never heard about it. God knows how many black kids are shot and killed on a daily basis by other black kids but those trials don't get national attention. Zimmerman is half white, half Hispanic and shoots a black kid so he's white. Our president is half white, half black but because he's president...he's black. Would it be racist if there was a basic cable channel called "White Entertainment Network?" What about a dating site called whitepeoplemeet.com? The double standard in this country is what keeps racism alive, not white people. 99.9% of us could care less what color you are as long as you contribute to society.

This was tried by some people in Florida a couple years back and was shut down by the FCC before it ever got off the ground because they claimed it was racist.

Upset over WET TV
If the circumstances were the same and TM was White, this would
have NEVER gone to trial, much less been any more than a blip in the local news...

Jesus Mack... I'm claiming Obamas white side. We still have never had a black president because I get to choose which part of Obama fits my agenda.
"Travis Mustafa Jordan of Black Entertainment Television agreed: "White are trying to take away the cultural identity of our black youth again. This system will be The Man trying to put down the brothers and bring back slavery and Jim Crow laws. At BET, we want to show the importance of our heritage. We want our children to know where they came from and why they are important. We want them to respect and honor their culture and to embrace it into their daily lives."
Just curious, but I don't understand this statement I put in bold, at all. If the network the channel because it shows their heritage, and letting the children know where they came from and why they are important. Then what does movies like: Boyz N The Hood, Notorious, or Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Juice In The Hood, have anything to do with any of it?
Joey's post sums it up pretty well for me. How racist would it be if there was a "white history month" or "white entertainment television"
