George Zimmerman's Website Raised $200,000
Remember when George Zimmerman sought donations from his website? You know, the one that looked like it was designed in the mid-’90s, and that proudly featured a photo from a vandalized black community center? Turns out Zimmerman raised $200,000.
Zimmerman’s lawyer Mark O’Mara appeared on Anderson Cooper 360, where he said that he just learned about the money on Wednesday and will inform a judge Friday. Zimmerman has shut his site down — he’s been barred from engaging in any social media — but O’Mara said he will start a new defense fund for his client.
O’Mara admitted that if the judge had known about the $200,000 Zimmerman raised, Zimmerman’s bail might have been set higher than $150,000. The defendant, who faces second-degree murder charges for shooting Trayvon Martin, was released from jail earlier this week after paying 10 percent of the bail.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.
Let me get this straight. Millions of outraged Americans are just credulous amateurs fooled by a cynical left wing ploy to stir up racial division? A man murders a kid. The police botch the investigation. Race appears to play a crucial role in both outcomes. Then a bunch of people find out about it and are outraged. And we’re the ones stirring up racial discord? This is the absurdity that the modern ideology of colorblindness will bring you to. Colorblindness has nothing to do with eradicating racism. It is about denying its existence and power. And so when faced with actual racism in such stark form, the colorblindness zealots must cast blame on those drawing attention to the racism. There is a significant segment of white opinion that continues to find efforts to combat racism more objectionable than the racism itself.

I’m just gonna let that last line sink in: “There is a significant segment of white opinion that continues to find efforts to combat racism more objectionable than the racism itself.” (via ethiopienne)
On racism and why “colourblindness” towards race is bullshit that doesn’t help anyone.

I’m sorry, OBAMA baited women by legislating birth control? Um no. Just all of this is wrong in every way. -Jess
Yes, because women and people of colour are being tricked into liking Obama. It’s not like we can think for ourselves or anything ridiculous like that. It’s not like Obama is BY FAR the better candidate in EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. He’s not “baiting” anybody. People vote for those who represent them well. And Obama is representing POC and women better than any Republican ever will, judging by the current playing field.

The link.
Well, there you go.
Fuck everything.
But no let’s all keep talking about what Trayvon was wearing.
Y’all dun fucked up this time. We won’t shut up until Zimmerman is given a fair trial (which should, in my opinion, land him in jail for life, but that’s up to the court to decide).
