Change of Subject: from Zimmerman to the larger issue

HoongLoong in regards to your earlier assertion that 95% of 'African-Americans' are racist?
The only Negros I've ever met in my life that weren't racist were those that were born and raised in Africa
they are so bloody grateful to be here that they don't hate the white man
but do wonder about the native coloured population's fixation with race ;)

I met several myself when working as a police officer on midnight shift. Two of my 24 hour gas station clerks were from Africa. Both of them just as nice and polite as could possibly be, and never once heard any comment about race from either of them.
 
The only change of discussion I would like is for media to stop presenting TM as the all American hero worthy of praise and honor when in fact he was thief, user, gang banging, THUG. Once we can be honest about this kids place in the world we can have honest discussions about encouraging young people to call the police, ask for help, and be respectful of others. Until then any discussion about this case is race baiting and pathetic.
That's just a dichotomy though, isn't it? Many of the so-called facts of Martin's past before the day he died paint a picture that is the exact opposite of "american hero worthy of praise" and is something closer to "scum of the earth who got what was coming to him."
