I remember when black families on relief were looked down upon by the poor black community, when having a child out of wedlock was, well, humiliating for the family, when black mothers recoiled in horror at the thought that their child might grow up to be a criminal.

That was a mere 50 years ago.

Sadly those who testified at the Trayvon trial were not generally cut from the same cloth, and the 'cursive' remark referred to one witness in particular.
