What the F**K is that "I Am George Zimmerman" thing doing on the Home Page?!?!?

I know there are racist, gun-crazed murderous thugs out there lining up to show solidarity to that putrid, trigger-happy waste of DNA, but do we have to grant them space on OUR Home Page?

Did the NRA and the KKK not have the pixels???

It's a high school girl speaking very eloquently about white privilege.

I was too. But, I watched the video. The girl is trying to make the point that if you are white and privileged you can't be Trayvon or Troy Davis. I think she is well intentioned. But, I also think that it's racially divisive to really believe such things. We should be moving toward racial unity not saying how people of any race should feel when a minority is killed.
