If Trayvon had a city, it would look like Detroit.

There has been talk about should we convene a conversation on race. I haven't seen that be particularly productive when politicians try to organize conversations. They end up being stilted and politicized, and folks are locked into the positions they already have.So shut up already.

START the case saying something stupid.
END the case saying something stupid.
Shut the TV off after hearing the first “Me”.

Methinks that the recent comments by Charles Barkley & Bill Cosby in support of "the system" are causing the BO administration some consternation.
They were hoping to control the narrative - the end result of which is further restriction of civil liberties including increased gun control measures.
Now that prominent men of color are questioning the narrative, a full court press is in order - to regain the momentum...

Had BO Sr. and his family back home in Kenya gotten their way, that stain on the bottom of a trashcan in Hawaii 50 years ago could have been you too.

We now know Zimmerman had to stay in his car, AND keep his door unlocked so as not to provoke an attack.

By that logic, George Zimmerman is then owed the thanks of a grateful future nation.
