Even the mother said it wouldn't make national news but she simply wanted justice. Where's Al and Jesse?

(CNN) - A study from CNN has found that by age 13, a majority of African-American children have a subconscious racial bias against white children.

According to the study, a majority of 6-year-old black children were optimistic about race relations, but as they got older their opinion shifted.

Davionne, a first grader at a majority African-American elementary school, has already formed an opinion on race relations.

When faced with images of black and white children together, Davionne, 6, told a researcher that "They're not the same color and they can't play together if they're not the same color."

Anyone hear Zimmerman's father and attorney's on Hannity last night? They are confident that there is good evidence to support that Trayvon attacked George.

This will go quietly away as the physical evidence proves that the left has grossly over reacted to use this as a political tool. They will never admit that they overreacted.

If the evidence proves otherwise, then Zim must be held accountable.

PS im about as mild as they come for this forum, given what i read on here for hate and vitriolic statements.Plain and simple i hate phonies and liars and we have gotten that ad nauseum, on this forum as it regards this subject, with the reprinting of the media lies,fraudulent audio and video tapes and race baiting on this subject.Someone needs to stand up for reality. So like the latest poll said, enough is enough !

You are very naive canam, both Jefferson and Franklin lived the same kind of lifestyle that you attribute to MLK, when they were living the highlife in Paris during the Revolutionary War. Most men are not saints, all are flawed, inspite of that fact, all three of these men served their generation and country in very substantial ways for the better. Inspite of their humanity.

I am from a small town in Florida and I have seen things that convince me that sometimes a bit of exposure is good, but there are always those who will see the exposure and wish to exploit it. None of that changes the particulars of the actual case though.

And also in big towns, our current DA in Dallas County, TX, is a black man who went to school, got an education, got into politics and elected as the head of law enforcement in one of the largest metro areas in the country. He has quietly gone about pursuing DA evidence in old cases, and getting many convictions of black men overturned, them out of prison.

This is proof that the system will work when good men take hold and fight for what they believe without turning the public against them.

Dozens of wrongly accused and convicted men have been set free, and paid damages and had their records cleared.

Leadership is very hard, but much good can be accomplished by corporative action, instead of angry partisanship and accusing others of hatred!!

I am convinced that the civil rights movement has changed how white Americans view black folks. It is now high time for the black community to join with confidence that their time has come, and not squander the opportunities to institutionalize equality.

Finally NBC fires editor who race baited and falsely profiled Zimmerman as a racist.

But they have yet to name him, or say whether they have reached out to, or apologized to Zimmerman himself.

A lot of people owe an apology not just them

So young, yet with that opinion. Hmm....I wonder who told Davionne that?
