Ya think?
Yesterday, when I was in KMart to visit their pharmacy, there were 2 strapping young black men--probably teenagers about Trayvons age. They weren't at all friendly or disarming.
There was a palpably tension among those folks waiting for prescriptions.
Folks of all races are usually chatty and friendly there, but not yesterday...folks looked nervous.
I noticed a difference in myself...a sense of anticipation.
Note that these kids were most likely just normal high schoolers...but their presence made folks nervous in a way completely new since the Trayvon trial and aftermath.
It was though someone had brought two pit bulls into the store. An element of potential and unpredictable danger was introduced.
Remember what Obama said during his campaign about whites attitude towards blacks.
You're just proving Obama right again. /sarcasm>
We have a Walgreen’s not far from where we live and I used to get my prescriptions filled there. Every time I was there for a pick up there would be a few of those young black men hanging around. I watched them pick up scripts and talk to the pharmacist about their 0 pay Medi Cal cards over and over til I finally moved my prescriptions to another pharmacy. Its a little further but a different class of clientele.
And sadly, that same unease you felt, they felt. And will likely fuel more anger and justification from them in the future.
This is a sad, sorry state of affairs.
‘strapping young black men’
A lefty Afro-American swashbuckler had a literary homo-erotic wet-dream the other day, describing such Trayvons™ as: “glistening black bucks.” Charles Blow, that’s who it was.
The left is one big insane asylum lately. Heh.
Sweet!
