    Lol, Obama probably wasn't even talking about Trayvon being black!

     

    Because, you know, he's the president so he probably, like, forgets he's black since racism never affects him at all.

  • Nothing gets me hot under the collar like white people who act like race isn't an issue because it isn't an issue FOR THEM. 

    I can only assume that those white people have no significant relationships with people of other races.

    Also, I get irrationally annoyed when people act like Hispanic is a race. It's an ethnicity. Zimmerman is a white Hispanic. Ergo a white guy. Also, of Jewish heritage. Still a white guy. There are black, Arab and Asian hispanics. Gah.

    That's right, race is indeed an issue for us poor, oppressed whites who are at a constant disadvantage in our society today.

    No one said that you said that. Your childish belief that everyone is talking about you is amusing.

    They have the luxury of not having to think about race and race relations if they choose not to. And therefore, if YOU are thinking about race all the time, that's your problem. Why is everything about race? Why do you MAKE everything about race? Talking about race is wrong because it makes people think everything's racist! Confused Which then shuts down the discourse about race.
