The 17-year-old black American was killed Feb. 26 by 28-year-old George Zimmerman – a Latino American, described by some as “white,” who served as a neighborhood watch captain in a suburb of Orlando, Fla.
Details from the case are still being revealed.
Though the Martin-Zimmerman controversy has been charged with racial tension and agitation, the audience responded favorably to a colorblind message.
Arguably the loudest cheer from the crowd occurred when the Rev. David Bowers of No Murders DC spoke.
He said, “We need the same righteous indignation when a black man kills a black man, or a black man kills a black woman, as when a white man kills a black man. All of our lives, black, white, no matter who we are, are just as valuable.”
If only the world was color blind it could be a much better place. I was raised color blind and to accept people for who each one is.

ReplyDeleteMy feelings exactly.
ReplyDeleteAs if the media cares about black on black crime. Heck they don't even report the ones in Salisbury, don't want to ruin that "prestine" tourism image right?
