There always must be one. It’s called a ” rent-a-nigga”, and every racist white person have access to one.

I’m there, and I tweeted it too. Thanks!

You might find this interesting. It is a link to the City of Sanford website. It has a whole bunch of transcripts from the Trayvon Martin shooting.

No you do not call them a term of endearment when you are about to shoot them and when you are afraid for your own well being.

You cannot reason with these people.

They have their beliefs and they are going to stick to them and if they need to say Zimmerman said “goon” to justify the murder of Trayvon Martin they will. 

Some how they can make everything about this murder go away if they change one word.

They will never see, “the idiotic Stand Your Ground law, the police response, and the way the case was handled ….” as the ongoing problem it is.

RawStory has similar postings on this article. They are long winded, circular arguments that go no where. Totally off topic and I think they are designed to make Zimmerman the victim. They want to somehow justify what he did and support their racism.

Not a single entry has 5,000 votes as you asserted.  The salient point, for a start, is that Zimmerman did not say ‘goon’ – he said ‘coon’ – prefaced by ‘f***ing’.  There’s no way you can change that – it’s clearly audible on the tape – and Zimmerman was Hispanic, not black, not talking to one of his buddies about whom, if black, he might have used the word ‘goon’ – though I seriously doubt that’s a real usage -  but to a younger man he wanted to kill. 

You said it had 5000 votes. Then you said 3000. When I went, it had about 3000 up votes. Thumbs down means they voted against, not for.

If you meant total votes, then there were about 5000. Either way, what possible difference does it make? You don’t call someone a “term of endearment” and then shoot them.

Next, read our guidelines. “You clearly can’t read then” would be a violation. If you want to comment here, you’ll have to avoid being condescending and snide.

I went. None had 5000 votes.

That said, how endearing can the term be if he’s shooting the guy he’s calling a “goon.” Which he’s not. He’s scrambling for excuses.

And finally, as the post says, listen to the tape on the video. He’s saying “coon”.

We are asked to rely on information he says he got from his teenage daughter as to the fact that “goon” is a term of endearment and his own research that “no one under forty uses “coon” as a racial slur anymore?”

Gee, guess that’s good enough research for me !  Who is this jerk???

This is another form of black on black crime,smh!We cannot stick together for anything!!There is no wondering about why we are treated the way we are treated,it’s because of butt-wipes like this!It wasn’t HIS son that Zimmerman murdered in cold blood and is now using everything he can grasp to stay free,because if it was, he would not be so smug!! For all we know,this guy could be on a higher- ups payroll!This just seems too convenient for Zimmerman to now be coming up with all of these so-called black friends,and probably coming up next..family!Even if he did associate with certain blacks,it still does not mean Zimmerman is not a racist!How many evil,lying, conniving people state that they are not racist, and know deep down they have plotted a plan for the next one!!Come on!Evil people have smiles on their faces and knives awaiting to stab at any given moment,it’s called being fake!!
