2. Pitts nails my thoughts on this case

Of course, the most pressing question is this: What, exactly, was it that made this boy seem "suspicious"? The available evidence suggests a sad and simple answer: He existed while black.

The manner of said existence doesn't matter. It is the existing itself that is problematic. Again: Sometimes, they do not see you.




That's the point I made on another thread on Friday afternoon. Three weeks later and no arrest? How about three weeks later and no explanation of the so-called suspicious activity / criminal activity Trayvon was allegedly engaging in . . .
