  1. I don't know how anyone on the outside (far removed from this case) can feel comfortable making any statements at all on either side. Only two people were there and only a few others witnessed a small part of what happened. At this point, we need to have faith in our justice system because although it may not be perfect, that is all we have. Hopefully the truth will be revealed and justice will be done.
    Thank God Twitter, facebook and cell phones weren't around when I was growing up - I'd hate to be judged on the stupid immature comments I probably would have made as a teenager.
  2. "Kincannon is a conservative, but his comments were tasteless. What was the purpose?"
    Yes his comments were tasteless and I would guess his purpose was to get attention. But what's your purpose in pointing out that he is a conservative? Why is this noteworthy? A stupid, tasteless comment is stupid and tasteless regardless of whom makes it.

  3. funny James... You just could not refrain from being racist yourself with this article, could you? I bet that daddy Earl is so proud of you! Now, why does it become an important fact that Kincannon is conservative? I am a conservative too, but do I agree with what he said. The only reason that you blacks are so against this killing is that Zimmerman is perceived as white, which he isn't. Where is the outcry about black on black murders? We NEVER hear blacks talk about them! James, this is a disgusting article by you.

  4. You never seem to mention that Martin had a long record of juvenile offenses - involving stolen jewelry and drug paraphernalia. Why not?

  5. Kincannon is incredibly tasteless, and it is apparent that none, including Mr. Causey, bothered to check the font of this foolishness, if you can stomach it. Not defending him or his as sinine tweets. The entire thread is filthy nonsense, with "racism" evident by about all involved on both sides of the divide...along with any other -isms you can have. Check the context for yourself. Kincannon is one of a host of idiots, morons, and knuckleheads sharing general stupidity via Twitter.
  6. gotta love how these things are supposed to be ignored and how "both sides" are suddenly guilty of "racism"...folks, it doesn't matter who said this in all reality but let's cut to the chase: just about any time something racially divisive and ignorant is said, and caught on tape or via some other electronic medium, it is a very safe bet that the perp is a conservative, white male who has absolutely nothing to lose...and they have nothing to lose because you will always have a certain subsection of *other* white males, who will mitigate and downplay the severity of what was said and then get indignant when you call "BS" on their statement....

    barely 10 comments and the majority are already trying to find fault with Causey having the nerve to share this story....and many of the folks commenting here are the same ones who always *love* to show up and share "what black folks do"....sorry, a superficial "shame on you" followed up with supposedly inclusive "the blame belongs on both sides" baloney, is just plain silly....and please, click thumbs down all you want... I know the truth bothers those cemented to their narrow P.o.v

  7. Let's start the blame for promoting racism with the media, specifically NBC news for selectively editing the sound bits that were played and made the story what it was not.

    How many blacks believed what they heard and started with their racist chants?

    Causey is at fault for mentioning this story before the trial began stirring the pot of racism.

  8. Because Kincannon has more than 32,000 Twitter followers and was the former Executive Director of a state's Republican Party makes this story newsworthy. Did Causey need to include the word "conservative"? In my opinion, he did not. The mere inclusion of "GOP" would have been sufficient for most readers. That said, to consider his mention of "conservative" as racist or race baiting is ridiculous.

  9. ..."...Zimmerman viewed the unarmed teen as "suspicious" and approached Martin even after police told him not to...."....

    You just always get the constant lies. It was Trayvon that instigated the altercation, the kid was two doors down from his house and decided to engage a beat down on the white hispanic. Everything would have just been hunky dory if littl' Trayvon would have run into his house and called the cops or told his guardians that a bad ole' white hispanic was on his trail. Zimmerman was finishing the call and Trayvon stalked him.

    So, yeah, Trayvon suckered punched him and jumped him and started slamming his head into the concrete; kind of like a rabid dog. Its just same ole' same ole' in the moral bankruptcy that encompasses the landscape. The cops are a favorite whipping boy for the race hustlers, it dates back to the civil rights era and always makes for a bit of nostalgic fodder, so you disrespect everything of authority and make it a lesson for the children to continue the cultural implosion.

    Liberals are just such two faced hypocrites on anything and everything since the "in the pocket" media just panders these issues in their own immoral fashion. Children are taking stray bullets all over urban america; just one dead after the next and barely a candle vigil burns. But, if the ingredients are right, or white, just "katie bar the doors" cause they'll be coming around the mountain when they come.

  10. 95% of the people playing the race card CHOOSE to be in same color/race relationships (marriage, shacking, friend(s)) yet the swear they're not bigots or racist. Go figure!
