Black Lives Matter. Still

After international slave trade was ended in 1808, Southern plantation owners were in a bind for more bodies. That led to what was sometimes known as the “Reverse Underground Railroad” — where free Black people in the North were captured and sold as slaves in return for high prices.

I’ve been on a mission to watch all the Law & Orders, and it’s uncanny how there seems to be an episode for every topic we’re experiencing IRL one generation later…

Well, everyone knows the absolutely most racist thing one could possibly do is to call out racists for being racist. It’s just intolerable! Won’t someone please consider the feelings of the racist white assholes? Why can they not enjoy their racist culture? It doesn’t hurt anyone! (Well, no white people, which is the same thing, right?)

Damn it all to hell, if this shit makes me (mayo loving SWM me) crazy, I am constantly amazed that our POC brethren are not utterly insane.

I hope so… someone needs to slap some sense into his stupid face. I just can’t imagine the pain this is putting Trayvon’s parents through. I mean, he killed their kid, haven’t they been through enough. Even if Zimmerman REALLY fucking believes himself to be entirely blameless for shooting a child, THESE PEOPLE LOST THEIR KID which he ADMITS that he DID, and he has the fucking nerve to sue them!?!

GAH… this makes me so angry!!!

Honestly?

I’m surprised no one has off Zimmerman yet, he’s such a button-pushing dick who just doesn’t know when to quit.

Came here to post that story.

Zimmerman won the lottery when he was acquitted. He needs to take his winnings and unfuck himself from the face of the Earth.

I mean, Christ, what an asshole.

Plus he apparently already made a bunch of money auctioning off the murder weapon.

I wonder how many bigots out there would be willing to bid on that pack of Skittles Trayvon never had a chance to eat.

Just guessing, but given the size of the lawsuit and the so called movie, he’s probably getting paid to drive up interest in it. Just filing the lawsuit and getting headlines is all that it takes.
I don’t want to know how the fever swaps are handling this news.

Even if that’s the case, how horrible a person do you have to be to put people who lost their child because of your action through this. If people are paying him, they are just as bad as he is.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. That was my point.

And don’t forget the $100,000 he made by auctioning off his “artwork,” which is at least $200,000 more than that paint-by-numbers piece of crap was worth. The entire internet should have filed a class action lawsuit against him for irreparably harming our aesthetic sensibilities.
