Charles Barkley understands the case.
Well, I agreed with the verdict. I feel sorry that young kid got killed. But they didn't have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly went wrong that night. Clearly something went wrong. I feel bad for anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don't make it -- there was some racial profiling, no question about it. But something happened that changed the dynamic of that night, and I know -- that's probably not a popular opinion among most people but just looking at the evidence I agreed with the verdict.

I just feel bad because I don't like when race gets out in the media because I don't think the media has a pure heart, as I call it. There are very few people have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any, shape, form -- a lot of black people are racist too. I think sometimes when people talk about racism, they say only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. I don't like when it gets out there in the media because I don't think the media has clean hands.

If the media invented a new catagory of "white Hispanic" for George Zimmerman, the son of a white father and a Hispanic mother, should they invent a new category for the POTUS, the son of a black father and a white mother? Would that be racist? Discuss.

You do know that the "coons" comment has been debunked, right?

My bad. The option is white, non-hispanic. So it doesn;t directly say it but alludes to it.

That option is been around for a long time. My wife always chooses the American Indian option. :thumb:

Off topic but...

Mulberry is actually a tree. It is very tough to kill and can grow almost anywhere, but if given the proper environment will grow into a nice looking tree that will attract some very cool songbirds.
