On the other side of this case, there are A LOT of people who believe, even with the facts that have been presented so far, that the AGGRESSOR should not have legal protection to kill, under "self-defense" or SYG.

For me, and for countless others, this is the rub-- this is what stinks.
Protests are never spontaneous. Someone has to organize when and where JD

Come on, Jermyn! Don't be part of the problem, be the solver!
Who made it about race? THEY did when they said GZ was white.

Yes, sir! You are correct.

I just don't get how Obama can have a white mother, but he is black.

GZ has an Hispanic mother, but he is white.

Ethnicity is determined by the father, not the mother.

Yes, probably so, but I have also heard that whatever the skin color, that would be the identifier as to which race the person identified themselves with. I think we talked about that on this forum once before.

Because Obama's father was a male of African ethnicity then any child he fathered would inherit his biological ancestry, thus causing the President to be considered as a black man albeit his mother was white. The same thing applies with GZ... with his father being a white male and his mother an Hispanic female, then GZ must be considered as a white man.

That may appear simple enough but racial colors are just that, colors. You can't define a child with a "white" father and "black" mother and that child comes out dark as the mother and say because his/her father is white that that child is also white. That child is mostly gonna be identified by the color of their skin toward what racial color they are going to claim. You either simply claim the child by its identifying racial color or claim they're biracial or mixed.

Now if you're going to talk about nationality well that transcends racial "colors" and that more or less applies to what your speaking of with regards to the father and ethnicity.

No it's not. What biology class did you learn that in

You're confusing your "bible beliefs" with what we are discussing about how the media confuses what race people are
