"All I talked about was having the right to walk behind you and follow you."
It simply stuns me every time I see this.
A sentiment that truly only a white man could express. God it reeks of never knowing what it's like to have a man follow you on a street. I can't even read this crap and that is why I avoid these threads. Just one last time - if women start arming themselves and "standing their ground" every time they "feel threatened" white guys are going to be dropping like flies. And then you will hear a different tune.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. White privilege has gone to the heads of some. It is astounding to hear that someone thinks that way, in today's time and age. What happened in their childhood, that would make them so hate-filled and evil, as to willfully, and recklessly, want to end someone's life? Don't I have the same right as they do to walk down the street, unhindered, and unfollowed? Followed for what? For what? This is America. And I'm a bona fide U.S. citizen, and I don't have to answer to some strange, delusional, psychotic, pathological white man, who thinks following me is a good idea. Because in that same scenario, Martin could have just as well, shot Zimmerman, and claimed the same "self-defense" as Zimmerman did. But because he is black, we all know, he would have be scoffed at, and branded a criminal, to have acted , in haste, and should have "waited" until the cops came. Double standards, abound. All due to race, and our varied suppositions about it. We're doomed.
