I have watched this fiasco from the opening gavel, and have found myself screaming at the stupid TV.. It is embarrassing how utterly committed the media is to hanging this pour man.. Shamefully, every black commentator, save one, is riddled with race hate, to the point that any attempt at objectivity has been lost...
I fear that many more are like me, and have lost any respect for the entire black community that I have defended for oh so many years.. It is as though if they loose their race card, they perceive that they have lost their identity.. Sad, so sad...
You’re not along. There are a lot of people who have gotten a wakeup call from this trial —
I would suggest that the fault in this type of thinking is in the words "black community." What is the black community, anyway? Has anyone defined it?
Answer: No, there is no definition of "black community." It is a concept that is shorthand for something - more to do with groupthink and the tyranny of low expectations than anything even close to reality.
Keep it simple. Content of character is a powerful concept and one that can be evaluated by actions as well as words. An imagined "black community" has no character, only color.
