That's a really pathetic assessment but it says a lot for how you condemn a poor teenager, killed by a gun whilst unarmed, simply for being black!

"simply for being black"
massive bias and manipulation of the information on this case by the us media.
have you been watching us television lately? you seem to.

I haven't been watching tv ,rarely do, but I guarantee that there were black jurors on the jury and by the outcome of the verdict they didn't think that the case was about race....and by the way the decision was unanimous....

Actually no. Quite the opposite it says much about you. He was not killed for "simply being black". That is nonsense.

No one condemned the teenage boy. It is very unfortunate and sad that he lost his life.

Zimmerman stood trial, and from the evidence available, the verdict was that it was self defence and that he is innocent.

Now I don't know for sure whether that is 100% true, but you can't send a person to jail for the better part of his life unless there is certainty that the allegations can stick. No one wants to see him in jail if he is not guilty.

At the end of the day, a jury found him innocent, and that is the end of that.

With your logic, I might as well say this:

In 2008, a Greek teenager was killed by Greek Police simply because he was involved in the Athens Riots or was a Commie!

Boy whose police killing sparked off five days of rioting in Greece 'died from bullet's ricochet'

The bullet that killed a 15-year-old boy in Greece, sparking off the worst rioting the country has seen in 25 years, was ricochet, a defence lawyer has claimed.

A ballistics report showed the boy's death was an accident, the lawyer claimed as clashes have broken out in Athens during the fifth day of anarchy.

Demonstrations during a general strike in Athens today disintegrated into violence. The strike also grounded flights in the country.

Yesterday mourners clashed with riot police outside an Athens cemetery during the funeral of the teenager, Alexandros Grigoropoulos

Oracle plays the black card like she does the Greek card.

Both are downtrodden humanity. Pure prejudice heaped on Blacks and Greeks. On the former because occidentals fear they are still no better than "savages" themselves; and on the latter because they fear they will never rise to be as great as "being" Greek dictates.

The only prejudice I see here is against Zimmerman, who is suppose to be innocent until proven guilty. You automatically choose to play the race card and condemn him as guilty despite the unanimous judgment handed down by a racially diverse jury.

Well being a "Great" Greek is simply just not good enough today!

You forgot Scots ... Surely they are treated with prejudice too

The world has ended, the government, due to a conspiracy against Greeks, blacks and Mexicans, hasn't told us yet.

Is this an expression of the concept of The Greeks as a superior master race born to rule, as discussed by old Harry Stottle some 2300 years ago, as one of his pupils set out to conquer the known world?

Greeks are no greater than any other Ethnos or Genos. Nor for that matter are the Brits, whether English Or Scots, or Welsh or the Jews or the Americans or Canadians or Australians or Germans, Nigerians, kenyans, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

We are all equally human.
