I'm nobody. Nope. No genius here, my friend.

Henceforth I'll be publishing under the psuedonym of baabaarumdumbaroom.

I think that I'll start a new social club called Bubbas United - Charlie can be the treasurer and bouncer, if'n he'll take the job. DJ can be my veep for all of the obvious reasons (assasinations/ black ops etc.) Press relations and secretary positions are still open. I wonder what D's hourly rates are cause there might be labor issues involved?

So I'm a racist for pointing out the obvious? Nice fellas, really really nice.

I didn't say anything about racism.

It would seem to me that some folks have become so conditioned to react to allegations of racism, that they do it now, even when none have been lodged.

Oh, this?

Just looks like a true statement to me. And I don't see that it mentions you specifically, Pete.
Heck, I don't even see the generalized term "right-wingers" or anything of the sort.........

Not specifically that. It seems that if one thinks this whole thing is racially driven (it is), they are either not um aware of race in this country, are active racists, or are wrong because minorities should be outraged.

Pete, are you saying that you believe Trayvon was not targeted because he was young, black and wearing a hoodie?

No. I don't claim to know. But if this was black on black or white on white (or hispanic on hispanic for that matter) we probably wouldn't have heard about it.
