If Trayvon Martin were not a young black male, he would be alive today.comment:
Here we go again. Evidently a lot of this is being driven by emotions and not facts. Jackson seems to believe that white guys never get stopped for looking suspicious. White guys get better treatment just for being white.
Frankly, I don't buy it. It doesn't have to matter even in terms of age, either. I've been challenged several times by police and one time by a civilian when I was doing absolutely nothing at all---but the ones suspicious thought that I needed to be checked out. Yet, I was doing absolutely nothing illegal at all. Just my presence in a location was enough to stop me and ask what I was doing there. Yes, it is annoying. But it isn't cause to hit anyone, as Trayvon Martin did, and I didn't.
Crime is a reality in our society. Actually, there's way too much of it. Just because a lot of black guys end up in jail doesn't mean that they were unfairly treated.
We have a welfare system that encourages people not to work and this is a factor in some young men growing up the wrong way. This is more a factor in crime than what Jackson is talking about. Young men and young women used to be better behaved and this is true for all races. It is the left wing in this country that has ruined the family and substituted the state as a father, which is what is missing so often in broken homes today. The left is responsible for this and it is Jackson himself who is a member of this party.
Jackson wanted a kangaroo court for Zimmerman. He wanted a jury of black folks who were lied to and provoked into thinking this was a racist who gunned down an innocent boy. The evidence tells a different story, yet Jackson doesn't accept that. A black jury thus empaneled would certainly have convicted him of second degree murder without even the slightest evidence of racism at all.
Zimmerman's history showed no racism. The FBI has already investigated it. There's nothing to see here on that issue. Jackson is just agitating and he looks like a racist himself making unjust accusations without any basis in fact. He looks like Bull Connor in black, ready to lynch Zimmerman for the crime of defending himself.
In the antebellum South, a black slave was prohibited from defending himself. Is that what it has come to in the US? He is inciting a mob the same way that a white racist would have done to a black man in the Jim Crow South. In fact, a lynching may happen anyway, judging by the threats Zimmerman is receiving.
Jackson is a bad influence. A bad apple. He is telling black people that their problems are caused by whitey. This is a vivid example of how that ends.
Rather than examining how Martin became a juvenile delinquent who could have done exactly what Zimmerman claimed he did, he wants to have a Grand Inquisition to investigate what doesn't exist. Bad things happen sometimes Many times the fault lies within oneself. The best way to improve a situation is to look in the mirror. I can tell you that this white guy was just as soon not have to worry about crime and becoming a victim of it. It has happened in my own life. I've been wrongly accused too. I know how that feels. It is not a perfect world, but the best way to start improving it is one person at a time and that person is always looking back at you in the mirror each morning when you shave and brush your teeth.
Someone who is a "reverend" ought to know that because it is in the Sermon on the Mount.
