(37,861 posts)That all young black men should be issued a gun so they can defend themselves - since walking around America as a young black male is a danger to oneself.
We half joke - I have two nephews - one 19 and one 16. It could have been Omar - with his earring, and baseball cap on backards. He's thin, tall (very tall at 16), and has a beautful dark complexion. But he's also a momma's boy and has never laid a finger on someone in his life. This is the kid that moves spiders out of his house instead of killing him.
Now - there are a lot of DU'ers who can't 'see' the analogy that obamanut made - and they would say -
Well he still had it coming becuase, because, because, because.
I wish these DU'ers would just admit that they would have done the exact same thing Zimmerman did - I wish they would admit that a young black male is a frightening thing to them.
If they would just ADMIT IT - who they are in their heart and soul - then I could respect them.
