"If Trayvon Had Only Answered In an Appropriate Manner There Would have Been No Problem"

161. Such behaviors aren't always about that particular person feeling "above themselves and their

station" and your assumption that such behavior always are about that is kind of elitist, isn't it?

Given the lack of personal information, how is your assertion different from theirs?

Your assertion looks like a stereotype, the very thing that I guess you object to in your reaction to what you assume is their assumption that they are "above" someone else.

Some people are like what you claim, others aren't. Not establishing the difference perpetuates the wrong.

IMO, perhaps most people aren't like what you claim, in that such assertions of power, perhaps more often than not, come from inferiority that is trying to redress itself and, because it IS inferiority, it redresses its wrongs in a dysfunctional manner, thus perpetuating them, as all shall soon see in what happens to Mr. Zimmerman.
