My thoughts on this post-Zimmerman trial America ... [View all]

[1StrongBlackMan]

What will/has changed in our America, post-Zimmerman trial?

I suggest ... not much! Black people will continue living our lives, as we always have.

Black men will continue to be seen as "suspicious others" in our own communities and generally seen as "dangerous" to approximately half the U.S. population. And no verdict will change that.

Black parents will continue to teach our children that being in the right and minding their own business is not a shield from those that will see you as a threat.

White liberals will doi as they always do ... rage about this outrage until the next outrage pushes this outrage off the front page and off their minds.

The only thing change I expect to find is white conservatives/white cowards/white socio-paths will now feel empowered to kill at the least provocation. But sadly, and as with all other things in America, when something is widely acceptable to/ignored by the vast majority of white Americans, it soon finds itself occuring in white communities.
