    You didn't ask for input, you posted it with no link, on it's own. When called out on it you showed that you had not checked yourself whether or not the information you posted was factual and you were therefore posting the picture from the white supremacist website to discredit the teen. Don't try to play innocent and dig yourself out of the hole bigot.

    It's the original posters duty to confirm whether the material they add to the thread is accurate or not. Posting graphics from a known racist website shows your bias -- you're not going to recover from that mistake.

    You're not one who believes in a just trial?

    Or would you rather just continue your little racial pity-party that's not based upon the known facts of the case?

    GZ and Texx really would enjoy beers together. Their similarities are uncanny.

    So nobody has posted anything before and asked for confirmation? I said I'd remove the post if it's confirmed false.

    You're just trolling.

    Not surprising that you would say this......this is how the grievances of individuals with backgrounds different than your own are in a large number of media outlets.

    I understand that what happened to Trayvon and other like him is nothing new and it will continue to happen as long as a system built on the idea of racial inferiority continues to exist.

    Do you?

    "This will continue to happen as long unless there is a radical change in the number of bigots in this country"

    I stayed away from this thread because it was just going around in circles.

    So glad I stopped by to see BigTexxx historical internet fail. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

    except it's not a fail, but rather the typical liberal pile-on technique. If you notice, nobody has been able to actually answer my question about whether or not that post's information has been proven wrong. Instead the pile on crew would prefer to distract by calling me names. Then they feel right and justified when their liberal buddies pile on alongside them.

    You believe Trayvon died due to a system of racial inferiority? What this tells me is that you'd rather be intellectually lazy and just toss out the race card rather than truly sifting through the facts of the case and waiting for the information to come out.

    Not just trayvon but millions more just like him. He is simply the latest most publicly known person this has happened too.

    I don't care what you think about me, what I care about is making sure this doesn't happen again. We can bring those who are gone back but we can fight the system that lead to their murders.

    So you came across some images and info about TM that originated from a white supremacist website and was intended to tarnish the reputation of a slain unarmed teen. You had no clue whether or not it was true, but decided to post it anyway.

    Here's a clue for you. If you don't have a good reason to know something is true why post it? That's doubly so if it's from a white supremacist website. Looks like your fail is evident for everyone here.

    yeah the burden isn't on us to disprove an image that is from a known White Supremacist website.

    if you are getting piled on, it's because of the epic fail you just committed by sharing that (three month old) viral Trayvon character smear of the day.

    the official statement is that the Martin family never verified the facebook or twitter accounts were their son's.

    but a racist hacker has verified it, and that's all some people need to read on the Internet to perpetuate a mistruth like the one above.

    I wanted to see if anybody knew if the information was accurate or not. If it's not, I'll pull it back.

    So you're the one who fails, as you're just trying to slander me.

    find it yourself. I already did the research. the burden's on you.

    where'd you find your link? maybe they have more information at the source of the original photo?

    Then why didn't you ask if it was accurate before you were called out?
