walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Cracker]

Yesterday, I was trying to find (but couldn't) a link to an interview I caught on CNN. I thought it would make you happy. It was a black minister (I think he was a minister) saying that the focus on the case is all wrong and that the black community needs to focus their attention where it's needed--black on black violence and the criminal mentality among black youth.

I agree. I think the race issue is sort of an aside in this case (although if he was muttering "fucking coons" that does indicate it might have played a factor in Zimmerman's actions) but the Sharpton rhetoric and all that other stuff is just bullshit.

I don't know what happened in that confrontation between Zimmerman and Trayvon. If Zimmerman calmly asked him what he was doing and Trayvon just hauled off and punched him and started slamming his head in to the concrete, well that's one thing. But that's not how I picture it in my head at this point. Maybe something will come out that will change my mind.

Okay, that pacified me a little. haha

LC, the ones who aren't ministers are deacons.

I feel badly for that kid, too, but they lost me when they made it about race and injustice.

So much could have been done to avoid the whole mess. 1.) Get off your fat ass and drive your kid to the store, especially at night. Who lets their kids wander around at night? Black people, that's who. haha 2.) If they are suspended, don't even let them go to the store. This wasn't his first brush with bad behavior as he was a drug dealer and all... 3.) Don't lie about what an angel your kid is to make your case, let the case stand on its own merit. Lying may be acceptable to a certain segment of society, but the rest of us don't like that shit. 4.) Don't try to cash in on your kid's death. Black people, WTF?

Who was talking shit to me about my post regarding the making of memorial t-shirts? Yeah, STFU. Cracker knows things.
