If anything, this whole mess should be about teaching kids (black and white) to stop glorifying the gangster lifestyle.
Pull up your pants, respect others, quit trying to out-gangster each other, learn a trade, stay in and do well in school, stop making fatherless babies, go to church..
Can I get an amen?
Amen!
“The meek shall inherit the earth”
Meekness is despised, Yet it underlies the thinking of those on both sides. Those who blame Zimmerman make him out to be lacking in it, those who blame Martin make him out to be lacking in it (I think the evidence supports this view).
The larger tragedy here is that simple virtue- which all men do learn in their life- is condemned or ignored in the discussion of this event. It is hard to teach a young man meekness without destroying their spirit but it is done all the time.
Hopefully before they jump someone with a gun for asking them what they’re doing.
Amen!
