(89,260 posts)49 percent are satisfied which is lower than i would have thought. but a large majority have problems with bringing race up.

(89,260 posts)sites like freerepublic. you see it on non political boards also.
there are a lot of really stupid and bigoted people out there. i also think a lot of people are becoming more open with their racism and other bigotry.

Now we're going to see more Zimmermans out there, wannabes who push anybody whose looks they don't like around and worse.
So yeah, I'm very dissatisfied with that verdict.

(26,642 posts)What makes us different? We are regular white folks who think this case was 100% about race, that Zimmerman lied to cover his crime, and the racist police force decided to do NOTHING.
What about this do people not understand?
