The defence will want an all white jury and will do their best to get one. that's a racist based over simplification and the offense will want a bunch of angry resentful racists that think like you write so what? that's why both sides get to be part of the selection process Just pointing out the obvious. That you see racism in everything? It's *very* obvious, thanks, no need to belabor it further. So color isn't going to be a critical factor in the Jury selection?

Can India join? ...The successful launch of India's first intercontinental ballistic missile sparked predictably excited rhetoric in Asia's two biggest powers. Indian commentators hailed the nation's membership of the elite club of nations possessing such weapons and TV channels looped footage of the test off the country's eastern seaboard. "It will be a quantum leap in India's strategic capability," said Ravi Gupta, spokesman for India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the government agency which built the missile. "Agni-V is a game-changer and a technological marvel," VK Saraswat, scientific adviser to the defence minister, was quoted as telling the Hindu newspaper. In Beijing, the state-run Global Times grumbled that "India [was] being swept up by missile delusion" and warned China's neighbour could never hope to win an "overall arms race"...

Not a lot has changed in 20 years.

I predict the defence will try to get an all white jury.

If you believe charges should be based on politics, and not evidence. Dead men tell no tales.

Meanwhile Zimmerman has been charged. Which is what should have happened in the first place.

It became a racial issue when Zimmerman profiled his victim before shooting him. Sure, if you want to discount the actual recording when he was asked about a description. He thought the black guy was suspicious and 'they always get away with it'. If Trayvon had been white then Zimmerman wouldn't have followed and shot him. If Trayvon had been white then the police would have done a proper investigation and charges would have been brought at the time.

...The home secretary is considering ordering a new public inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence, the Guardian has learned. The prospect of a new Macpherson-style inquiry – the original report published in 1999 made landmark findings against the police – has been triggered by allegations that police corruption may have shielded the gang that murdered Lawrence in a racist attack. Theresa May sees the allegations as being of the "utmost importance" which must be investigated thoroughly to avoid undermining confidence in the police . Doreen Lawrence has called on the home secretary to order a second public inquiry into the police investigation of the murder of her son, who was killed by a racist gang 19 years ago, on April 22, 1993...

You're troubled.

...A North Carolina judge ruled Friday that racial discrimination played a role in sending a black man to death row in 1991, in the first in a series of cases that will challenge death role rulings on grounds of racism. The landmark decision found 'intentional and systemic discrimination by state prosecutors' against African-American would-be jurors in capital cases. The case found that prosecutors deliberately excluded qualified Black jurors from jury service in death-row inmate Marcus Robinson’s case, in Cumberland County and throughout the state. The ruling takes Robinson off of death row. The case is the first pursuit under the Racial Justice Act which "allows North Carolina’s 157 death-row prisoners a hearing in which they can present statistics and other evidence that death sentences state- and county-wide were tainted by race discrimination and that their death should be commuted to life in prison," writes the ACLU. The Racial Justice Act was passed in 2009...

And if you were black get used to that suspicion for the rest of your life. And if you're black and stand your ground then expect to get shot.

...Kennedy-Macfoy said this was not his first experience of discrimination at the hands of police: "I always get stopped by the police and it's always the same. [Police say:] 'Oh, you know, loads of these cars get stolen, so we just need to check you are who you say you are, blah blah blah.' And I know it is because I'm black. My friend Vince, he's a fireman – he borrows my car sometimes and it's a running joke at the fire station – he's never been stopped." Brian Paddick, a former senior officer at Scotland Yard, said on Thursday he would appoint an independent commissioner for standards to help tackle "endemic" racism within the Metropolitan police if he were elected London mayor in May...

You're making the large assumption that Zimmerman started the fist fight to base your argument on. Regardless - you're in a fist fight with another person; are you *really* saying that you're supposed to just let him kill you when he starts bashing your head into the concrete? According to Zimmerman. Who 'went for his phone'. Answer the question. According to Zimmerman, the killer, he was being bashed. We don't know that yet. Didn't look like his nose was broken.

...The decision of the defense in having the defendant take the stand in the bond hearing is being questioned by legal experts. Why introduce possiblly damaging evidence to court in advance of the trial, the thinking goes. What does it mean that Zimmerman said "I did not know if he was armed or not"? Is Zimmerman suggesting that his lethal use of force might be excused by this quirk of his own psychology, his standing assumption that everyone he sees is armed and dangerous? "I did not know how old he was," said Zimmerman. Is that a murder defense?...

How's it out there in the really really deep end of the pool?

"These are my people." - Eric Holder Back to the original post that linked Eric Holder and 'my people' with the Black Panthers.

That might be your choice. Others choose to examine the facts. Just stick to exposing the blatant cases of racism and you'd be ok... it's not about changing the racists of today...they're set in their ways - let 'em die off...our concern is the impressionable youth of today who are still developing their ideology. What they need is facts then. Not made up quotes by racist haters. exactly...and most of the shit you spew is just a perceived opinion of racism with no facts to support them. Like the fact that Eric Holder did not say the Black Panthers were 'my people' as you and others (all white I notice) have stated in this thread.

That's not an opinion. That's a fact. It's a racist and hater attack on him to say that is what he said. Look in the mirror... you don't get it..do you? Still waiting for that quote all the racial haters love to believe is true.

...Is it really surprising that a black person, particularly someone like Holder who is old enough to have some personal memory of segregation, would take personal offense to trivializing black history in this manner? That he might feel particularly indebted to those who literally sacrificed their lives to ensure that black people had the right to vote, let alone someday serve as attorney general or president of the United States? Would we really be having this conversation if say, a Jewish politician referred to the suffering of "his people" in the context of historical anti-Semitism? No. The problem is that Holder's remarks forced conservatives to approach the NBPP case with some sense of historical perspective on the suffering of black Americans under segregation, after two years of conservatives employing outlandish rhetoric identifying themselves with historical examples of harrowing persecution. They resent being forced to confront the reality that the complaints of Republican poll watchers in Philadelphia in 2008 are not comparable to heroism of protesters on the Edmund Pettus bridge...
