Today, the head man broke into a briefing and gave his four-cent's -worth about the Zimmerman issue. He implied that the main culprit was racial stereotyping. Just so we understand that mindset, let's try to put stereotyping in other terms: Suppose you are walking down the middle of a road and you see two large dogs approaching on opposite sides. Both are simply walking down the road, same as you. You obviously must choose which side of the road you want because there is a car coming. Do you choose the side with the Collie or the one with the Rottweiler? Remember, both are of the same species, Canis familiaris. How do you decide?

excellent analogy Jerry. Plus in the Zimmerman case, it was reported that black youths (youts in New York) were breaking into homes in the neighborhood.

Negroes wearing hoodies, wandering around my property in the dark of night should know that I have a VERY sensitive trigger finger. And that's about as far as P.C. and sensitivity goes around here in Redneckville.

You got it, Chris. I am not required by law or morality to aid them in their careers.

I really liked this analogy, Jerry. .. so very true for anyone with any common sense! You know something I just don't get is why the blacks are so upset over this young hoodlum. I just heard that there have been over 40 murders in Birmingham so far this year. The majority were young black men! Why don't they rally and protest this kind of thing? I guess it is ok for them to kill one of their own....or at least that is all I figure out.

They're acting upset and raising Cain simply because it always works and they can always get away with it and gain in the process. These people in large part are sorry, lazy, ignorant, and a little savage, but they are not stupid. As long as they can keep pumping this well, they will. The basic American social ethic is totally busted, and we brought it upon ourselves. Nothing short of a revolution will fix it, so we may as well get used to listening to their Demo-crap because it will prevail probably as long as folks our age live.

Jerry, we may just live out our lives and never see the end of all of this nonsense. Then, on the other hand, there were aged people in America when the Revolution against England took place. There were Grandfathers and Grandmothers here when we had a Civil War, WWI & WWII. So you just never know what might happen before we only own 6 feet of ground with a marker on it. ;D
