If you want to see a sane black man speak about the Martin/Zimmerman phenomena, this is it.
“I always wonder why some people “see”, and others do not.”

Well, I am 69 and may be becoming senile but I with every passing day I believe more that almost everything is determined by personal preference. I told a VA doctor at my last routine checkup that I may be crazy but I think sickness or health is basically a matter of whether you decide to be sick or well. The doctor smiled and said, “You are not crazy at all, it really is mostly about what you decide.”
I think some people simply refuse to deal with reality, in almost any situation they will refuse the logical conclusion and embrace a fantasy. I can see others, particularly one close family member, doing exactly that and I can vouch that I have done that at times myself. I can look back on some of the things that I have done in the past and shake my head in wonder at how I could have done something so stupid. In fact there were times when I KNEW I was doing the wrong thing but seemed powerless to stop myself. Some people will call this demonic influence, some will have other ideas, some will say I am crazy. Some will say that it is a matter of shifting from one parallel reality to another.
Well, I’m right behind you age-wise ...
I have no doubt one’s experience in life is determined by our outlook. And yes, it’s a choice, I have no doubt. I feel blessed to have found this truth. I recently had an operation. I told the doctor the recuperation would be short. She cautioned me, then admitted it’s a matter of the mind.
Your post is wonderful ... to me. I have recently pondered on a bad decision in my life many, many years ago and have tried to understand. You shed some light on the fact that I am not alone.
All the best to you.
This is a 15-minute monologue, self-published on YouTube by some guy I’ve never heard of before.
And it is Worth. Every. Second.

You nailed it, brother.
We should show it to neighbors and friends, and ask: Why is this guy not on the MSM? Wouldn’t he do a lot to reduce the chances of riots?
Isn’t he showing the way for black people to be integrated into society?
You'll notice in the video that he has a picture of MLK upside down on his wall. I think his opinion may be that MLK, perhaps rightfully at the time, directed his energy toward changing the behavior of white people.
The speaker in the video perhaps feels that we are far past that point in time. It is the behavior of black people which is responsible for the majority of their problems.
Yeah. I wondered about that. Well, it is someone’s sacred cow he is slaughtering there, no doubt.
You make a very good point.
The “Reverend” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
(I guess they figure the more syllables the more impressive)
was a stinking philandering rotten commie rat bastard.
Piss on his grave.
I guess that clears up any misconception anyone might have had regarding your opinion of MLK.
