I hope I don't offend anyone with this. I have no gripe if Brian deletes it if he
Feels it's out of line ...
I don't know what it's like to be black. I am quite sure there are racist pigs white people out there that hate African Americans and I am equally sure there are racist blacks that hate whites just as much....but Dag gone I get sick and freakin tired of hearing about the poor black man bla bla bla. I have a couple of black friends, and they don't act that way...why is it so many think that anytime something happens to them it is ONLY because they are black? Back When I used to post here a lot I was a supervisor at work. I work in a machine shop and what we do is a skilled trade and not everyone can do it. I had one guy, he happen to be black, that we worked with for a year and a half. He could sort of do the work, but often times I would have to do it over or help him to the point that it made more sense to just do it myself. The decision was made by MY BOSS to no longer allow him to set jobs up and just make him a button pusher( less $$) well guess what? Apparently I am a racist and I was holding him back....he made the comment that maybe he could change his skin color over Xmas vacation so he could get a fair shake....he was the nicest guy in the world up til that point....I never saw that coming.
I agree if Zimmerman were black you would never hear of this case. I DO think he profiled him and I do think NO WAY he follows him had he not bern armed. Once the YOUNG MAN started beating his butt he defended himself. It's a sad situation that a young man lost his life and another will be a marked man for the rest of his. Until people like Al Sharptin and JJ stop doing everything they can to stir up crap, this will never change.
Another example is the dating site " Black peoplemeet.Com"
What would happen if I started a site called " WHITEPEOPLEMEET.com" ?
You know what would happen.
Sorry for the long rant
