I still wish Jesus H Christ were around to comment on this.
I've lived in central Iowa now for over 3 years and when I first moved here they had a program to help out poor blacks, in essense a flood of Chicago refugees came over here. Ever since then petty crime has more than doubled.
My neighbor cop that lives next door had some of his lawn furniture stolen, neighbors across the street have had multiple instances of petty theft (bike that was bolted to the roof of a car taken off and stolen).
...and just today early morning, while it was still dark, one of them spit all over the seat of my scooter while I was in the 24/7 gym (caught him walking off in the distance).
I say this, as it gives me right to profile specific individuals if I see them floating around my neighborhood.
The jury should acquit
if they think Zimmerman is innocent (which it sounds like everything he did is justifiable).
I looked at the judge and could tell she had shame when the defense was staring at her and asking about the new charges being stemmed from the basis Zimmerman performed child abuse on Martin when he was being beat by him; she is scared, which she should be.
If there are riots and uproar because of Zimmerman's acquittal, the blacks as a collective will be doing themselves a major disservice.
I say this as someone who has was been brought up completely non biased and thought very negatively of anyone who was a bigot but from a series of many events from my early to mid 20's I've learned that it is very difficult to get along with blacks in relative comparison to other races I deal with on a regular basis.
The unfortunate thing is I have to have longer evaluation periods of select individuals before I can treat them equally; this all stems from stereotypes (which are generally true) and the poison of black culture.
Mild bigotry has been induced in me from firsthand experience over the course of several years.
Funny how my sister thought my dad and I were unfairly judging until she started working as a Registered Nurse in Pittsburgh (black or African population 25+%), then got to see how entitled they all acted toward her in the ER.
Usually if someone doesn't hold a strong opinion of certain kinds of blacks (gangster/hoodie) it's because they do not have any firsthand experience with them.
Getting defense about it doesn't do a damn thing.
It unfortunate as some blacks are wonderful people, but getting to forsake some parts of their culture they hold near and dear just isn't going to happen.
People with more self control than myself resolve the issue passive aggressively, by doing what they can to avoid having any blacks in their dealing, and not saying a damn thing about it.
I think it's important for people to know.
