The Race To Finish 1st

am i not entitled to one mistake
Lately, there's been a lot of talk and attention around race and I wonder if this is purposely inflicted by some folks. Clearly, this can not be just coincidental, or could it? The killing of Trayvon Martin was one of the more publicized topics in America and after the trial, I was quite baffled. A legal system was used to justify the killing of an unarmed teenager which to this day will haunt every person with a young child. Of course, media plays right into the whole argument, every last person who sees the news will have an impression of what they think happened. Something just does not sit right.

Remember Michael Dunn? He was the man who shot and killed Jordan Davis for apparently playing loud music in his own car down in FLORIDA. Was Jordan Davis not entitled to play loud music? Perhaps special permission was needed before deciding to turn that music up loud. I am sure they were many more incidents than reported about confrontations between grown white men and young African Americans but of course who wants to go in that direction. right?

Ever since Mr. Obama became president lots of these race flirtations kept surfacing. Of course, he is not to blame but I wonder if America was ready for a shift in power. Having an African American president seems to still bother some people in America. 

Mr. Donald Sterling (L.A. Clippers owner)didn't make things any better by doing an interview with Anderson Cooper it actually made things worse. Or did it really?  Donald is 80 or more years old and for him not to have specific views of the so-called
minorities aren't so shocking, at least to me. Some things may seem shocking to hear but if you live long enough you would realize that the behavior of humans doesn't really change. Now that's an argument! Apparently, Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner)is an outspoken guy and felt the need to make his point about his thoughts on prejudice. I will say that he isn't far off with his thoughts and many others may feel the same way he does. Sometimes people pretend and they are others who simply just blurts it out, truthfully.
