Why was every prominent black conservative in the media pro-Zimmerman?

:rudy: conservatives... are about conserving.... so if you're conserving American ways and activities it only makes sense for black Conservatives to support the systems and ideas that make Zimmerman being found not guilty possible.
But that's not what these guys claim. They say they just have certain right-of-center ideology that is centered around individual responsibility, personal freedom, and limited government that is reflected in domestic policy issues like taxes, budgets, monetary policy, immigration, abortion, affirmative action, education, etc.

Where does thinking a guy who shoots an unarmed black teenager and claims self-defense after he picked a fight with him should get off with nothing fit into that?

Anyone who can look at the evidence in the Zimmerman case and reach a definitive conclusion either way is being biased IMHO. :yeshrug:


I personally think Zimmerman was guilty as shyt, but based on the evidence and prosecutions poor job i think the right verdict was reached. :manny:

The Right only Means conservative. And conservative mean to conserve ideologies and systems...... those ideologies and systems that they support all fall under the umbrella of every piece of the puzzle that lead to the Zimmerman verdict whether they know it or not.

Well, ... they know it, they are just in denial.

:russ: everyone knows that ideas like those are just fake phrases....
individual responsibility (bootstraps to succeed --- in a corrupt capitalist society with increasing wealth gaps)

Personal Freedom ( ignoring social movements, and defending 'freedoms' by supporting dictators and killing brown people all over the world)

Limited government
( rejecting 'big brother' liberal policies regardless of 'common good' , oppression union movements, avoiding the fed gov in racial killings or court cases, Being able to promote religious agendas that don't align with fed policies - like not teaching evolution or putting up Jesus Christ billboards, gay marriage)

Immigration ( letting them in to certain south states to allow for slave labor, but not wanting them to form a huge voting block in the areas we Stole from 'Indians' and Mexicans. )

Education ( limiting science education and independent thought helps with control, and pushing a private charter system allows for the masses to have sub standard and a the few others to have great educations)

Taxes ( wanting to kill anyone who even seems socialist, brain washing most people to believe in trickle down economics -- pretending that big businesses not paying their share = more jobs, sucking off Regan and allowing him to replace Jesus Christ as the new made up god of white people )

You need brainwashing, media manipulation, racial stereotypes, class preference, and a private prison industry to make all this shyt work...... When 'minor things' like Travvon's death occur - u need that pool of confused blacks to back ur racist pov so that it doesn't seem as bad. Their JOB is to call everyone else bias and to say I'm black and Right and you all are just black/brown followers.

at this point i think that even though we all know zimmerman was guilty, the trial was fukked because it was his testimony vs the kid he killed

i mean imo the evidence on the tape was pure evidence of stalking and plenty of motivation and intent. even typing this shyt out is pissin me off tho, i really hope someone tortures and kills that p*ssy

The logical verdict was indeed reached, but that's only because

1. Some of the testimony on the prosecution's side was weak and/or some of the testimony on the defense's side was false, as is now coming out (with the medical examiner, etc.)

2. The law in Florida is completely insane. Thanks to the Stand Your Ground law passing, the standards for how these cases are judged changed, even in situations where that specific law isn't invoked in the trial. According to the old laws, people were obligated to try and diffuse confrontational situations or even simply run away from them in order to be able to claim self-defense if those attempts failed. Here is the actual instruction that was read to the Zimmerman Jury:

“If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”

In other words, they were already forced to assume that Zimmerman escalating the situation was completely irrelevant, and that he had "a right" to be "any place" with regard to Martin, including following him, etc. Basically, they had no choice but to declare him not guilty, since according to these instructions, a person can intentionally start a confrontation, intentionally escalate it to the point of force, then kill the other person for responding with force and still claim self-defense plain and simple. This violates any sane standards of decency and civilization, whether you're a libertarian, a conservative, a liberal, a leftist, or whatever else. The kind of power it gives to average vigilantes and to cops, too, is unwarranted.

Well, the obvious answer is that they're full of shyt.

Being anti-black is pretty much synonymous with modern conservative thinking, as people with that ideology tend to feel that black people are responsible for a large portion of the country's problems (crime, high taxes due to welfare, etc.).
