Dear False Equivalency Racist Asshats,

Okay, I've heard Anne Coulter cite one and now Drudge has a cover story about one. In each instance, they cite examples of White people being killed by African Americans, and ask, "Where's the outrage?" vs the outrage over Treyvon's murder.

Here's the one key fact that these racist asshats miss. Both murderers in both cases that they cite have been arrested and are being tried. Some of the murderers have been found guilty. TREYVON'S MURDERER IS WALKING FREE WITHOUT EVEN BEING CHARGED.

It's a bullshit racist false equivalency. Because an African American murders someone, then it's okay to kill any African American on the street? Is that what they're saying?

Did they act all outraged when these black on white murders happened? Probably not.

Those nitwits don't even realize they're actually proving the point. The American justice system treats blacks differently than whites when it comes to crime. Why no arrest and charges for Zimmerman? We know damn well that, had the races been reversed, Trayvon would be facing either the death penalty or life in prison.
