I'm gonna go out on a limb here and figure that you're white. If you weren't, you would probably know that any encounter with cops while black is risky and often unproductive, especially in Florida.As for Martin's actions, we know well enough what he did. He was walking home from the store. A madman with a gun started following him. He tried to escape. The madman continued to pursue him and ultimately overtook him and accosted him. Martin tried to defend himself, and the madman used that as a pretext to shoot him. So what should Martin have done? He couldn't escape. Even if he did call the cops, they wouldn't have gotten there in time. So exactly what was Martin supposed to do? I would explain to you that there's nothing racist about suggesting a white man might enjoy visiting an all-American fast food joint, but you apparently believe that any white man has the right to shoot any black person without precondition so you're probably one of those "I'm not a racist, but..." types who think that "real" racism is forcing white people to accept the existence of nonwhite people. |
