there is no such thing as race...

[QUOTE=dude77]:facepalm[/QUOTE]
Why the facepalm? AlphaWolf24 is actually right (can't believe I'm saying this)
The concept of race is a human generated concept. It has no scientific bearing and is purely social.
The fact of the matter is there is only one race, and it's the human race.

AlphaWolf said there's no such thing as race, though. Either way, he's wrong.
[QUOTE=Rasheed1]I never said I know what happened.. I asked you a question..
From what we know, Trayvon wasnt doing anything that warranted being followed.
He had no tools on his person to break into someone's home.. From all the evidence he was simply going to the store and then coming home.
And even if he was "suspicious" it still doesnt justify George getting out of his truck and pursuing the kid..
this all could have been avoided[/QUOTE]
We don't know that he was pursuing Martin. Actually, the only evidence we have points towards that being the other way around.

"race" is kind of a strange idea. humans are the only species where individuals with phenotypic differences get called different "races". with other animals such as cats and dogs, we refer to phenotype differences as "breeds".
other than the color, is there any difference between a black cat and a white cat?
you can call it whatever you want .. but there exists different groups with distinct differences .. one of them being the skull .. pure caucasian skulls are different from pure black skulls and pure eastern asian skulls etc .. also certain groups are more prone to get certain diseases and such .. it's not that simple to say we're just the human race ..
it does a disservice to humans in general to disregard these differences .. they are there .. they should be acknowledged and studied, not disregarded

thats not true.. Zimmerman says himself he was pursuing Martin on the dispatch tape.
There is no evidence that martin pursued Zimmerman..
Let's assume that there hadn't been any home invasions in the neighborhood. If that was the case and GZ followed TM then he would be guilty of racial profiling.
gz was keeping track of tm .. meanwhile tm was terrified so he called up his boo to flirt with her instead of calling for help

why would he be guilty of racial profiling ?

You need a reason to begin profiling.... Its like profiling muslims at the airport. the 911 plane hijacking are the reason officials began profiling muslims.. NYPD profiling muslims because of terrorist attacks

dude77, do you think it is in the cards for you to conduct yourself as an adult one day, and not as a f--king idiot?
[QUOTE=dude77]why would he be guilty of racial profiling ?[/QUOTE]
Because he would have no reason to suspect him other than the fact that he was black. Just walking along a sidewalk is not a reason to be under suspicion.
