Something else you didn't hear about....

I didn't hear of this one either. I wonder why? Is this not as important as the Trayvon Martin murder?

Myself has nothing to do with it, but if people are going to call a man a racist then I want some proof to that. Because people make everything about race, so just stop it. Why do WE have a race problem today because people see everything along racial lines.
Old South Park episode about redesigning a new city flag. The kids drew a man hanging or something like that and he was black. The town was up in arms, but at the end the kids said something to the extent that they only saw a man, not a black man. That is what I want for this country, to stop seeing things in the lines of color.

That is something else that bites my but. My political views do not define me as a person. I am a human being first and foremost, and all these people dividing issues like this according to political identity is one of the stupidist things I have ever witnessed.
Trayvon Martin comes from a good family. His mother and father are very educated with stable jobs making a good living. The older brother is in college. I find it curious why in our society,
If a young black man walks down the street carrying a concealed handgun, he must be a criminal, a gang-banger, a thug.
Whereas if a young man of fairer complexion does the same, he is obviously a righteous vigilante, a patriotic defender of God-fearing folks in the community.

Vance, do you know GZ personally? You sure are taking it personally that people believe he racially profiled that boy. I hate to say it but it seems you are defending yourself rather than GZ. No offense but I'm starting to wonder why you are so emotionally attached to the fact that racism exists and permeates almost everything to some degree. Racism is a problem in this country period. Of course, race was involved to some extent in GZ's decision to follow the boy. Common sense has to play a role in how we think about things at some point.
He may not be a 'racist' per se but race played a role in his decision that Martin looked like a bad guy. You'll never convince me otherwise and I thought that we decided to stop this constant back and forth about it a day or two ago.
BTW, this is no 'liberal verses conservative' thing. I'm not liberal and I feel this way about GZ.

You don't want to solve problems you want to complain about them. My rants at least address issues with positive possible solutions.
Tell me what I said was wrong? Please do so and come up with a valid reason why. You can't because what I said is not wrong. It's spot on.

You really need to stop your ranting and raving. Seriously guy, you are beginning to sound insane.
Get a grip on yourself and turn your attention to something less volatile or you just may self-destruct.
I will not dignify any of this mess you are vomiting all over the board today by responding to particulars.
Please Vance, just stop.

Look at the numbers alone of black on black crimes, it has to be reported because it is such a large number as compared to the other crimes. You have to report that 3 were shot in gang violence. And I hear when white billy shoots white timmy, but it does not happen as much as the gang violence in LA and Chicago.
Starts with giving kids hope and an education and a family. But if you keep pushing racial themes on them they will expect that they can't get anywhere in life, so why not turn to the gang where they can make some green?
People like Sharpton and Jackson should be out sending a positive message to kids, telling them look at where I am now because of hard work. Look at other black men, they all got here because of hard work. So stop expecting things to be handed to you and work.
I worked since I was 11 years old, while in college always had a summer job. never been out of work for more then 6 weeks since I was 11 years old. Work ethic instilled at a young age drives me to want more and to do better. Why don't we see the black leaders help instill work ethic?
Think I kind of went off on a tangent.
