LOL! Well, I only read the posted article and I didn't click through to see the photo of the 'ahem' subject. I suppose I should have picked up some indicators from the text, but I didn't....
MOM didn’t say that, the author did...
Oh, just saw the photo. Yeah, um... wasn’t even picked last at the local b-ball court. Now I see why the cabbie dissed him as well... lol
I once came upon a white security guard outside Target. He had collapsed with a massive heart attack. He was surrounded by a crowd of young black men and women who were laughing at him, taking pictures and taunting him. No one had called 911. They tried to stop me from calling.
The man was dead when the ambulance arrived.
I’ve never seen the reverse side of this.
Why White People Don’t See Racism: Explaining the disconnect between Black and white Americans
By: Keith Boykin
Every morning I get up and place this heavy chip on my shoulder. White people just dont understand what it is like to walk around with a chip on your shoulder every day. I walk the streets and see whites smiling and walking without a lean to the left and I am reminded of my chip. The clothes manufacturers are racist because they make white jackets with extra padding for hunting but no black clothes with extra padding for the chip on my shoulder. My shirts wear out sooner than whites without a chip on their shoulder that is racist.
With this heavy chip on my shoulder I notice whites giving me a wide berth when passing to my left, it is because they are racist. Sometimes I hear racist jokes about chip off the old block. Just because I am black taxi cabs want to charge me for my chip as luggage when I ride in them.
Yes whites just dont understand what it is to be black and spend their life with a chip on their shoulder.
This is how Jackson et al stay in power. You only read my post because you think I’m white.
Thank you. I think anyone who honestly watches the video, listens to the calls, and learns a little about the backgrounds of both Zimmerman and Travyon really has to come to the conclusion that this was simply one of the few times that a thug attacked someone smaller, and the victim had a gun.
I'm not saying there aren't real racists in America (that Spooner guy sounds like a real piece of work), I just don't see any evidence that Zimmerman deserves that title.
Oh, I get you. I guess I skipped a few steps, because I was remembering a remark that O’Mara made at one point that he thought very differently about Zimmerman, too, before he got to know him.
