There was nothing to get. I questioned whether rap was designed to make white people comfortable, and you responded by questioning whether I believe white cops should be allowed to beat black people.

Here, I'll break the Da Vinci code for you, I was mocking you by questioning acceptability of stereotypes that have nothing to do with the actual question involved, which is exactly how you responded to me. Funny how you didn't "get it".

Color blind is pretending to ignore race and acting as if race or ethnicity has no meaning. So it is pretty much ignoring cultural and ethnic differences. It is not taking into consideration that cultural differences exist and those differences influences perspectives and experiences that will differ for someone of a different ethnic.

Racism is creating a ignorant superiority negative attitude or overt action against someone because their ethnicity/race is different from theres. It is deep seeded hatred against someone because of a different race or skin tone.

Yea they are different. Racism is acknowledging those differences and making a decision not to like people based off those differences. Color blindness is ignoring those differences all together.

That's bull**** baby. I am sorry but it is. Color blindness implies that one can not see color. Therefore you wouldn't be able to ignore, that which you cannot see. And some people are truly cut like that, just look at back catalog of their ex's and you will see... So to them race truly isn't an issue.

Good job at ignoring why Travyon went to the grocery store in the first place, realtalk. He wasn't just "buying Skittles", lol. Whilst it has no bearing on Zimmerman's actions in one way or another, its pretty annoying seeing people like you talk as if Travyon was some nice 17-year old kid who wouldn't hurt a fly or do anything REMOTELY illegal or suspect. Nobody deserves to die the way he did, but he made a stupid move by initiating an altercation when he should have just kept walking home. Or are you the sort of person who will jump on someone and brain them to death with a rock because you "think" they were following you?

On another note, its already been established that Travyon bragged about his "purple drank" on his Facebook page on numerous occasions and showed that stuff off at every opportunity, which under normal circumstances would have gotten him arrested: the fact he's been canonized in some corners of the African-American community is just as "bad" as Zimmerman being made out to be the Anti-Christ. Both of them are equally responsible for what happened. It's a sad, sad situation on all sides that's been blown so far into the stratosphere by the media that you just can't help but laugh about it.

And to get back on topic here...I think Rick Ross is a genius.
