So, George Zimmerman just made it acceptable for any white man carrying a gun to kill unarmed black teenage boys.
Way to go, Florida.
And here's the part I dread. When I go to work tomorrow, where I am 1 of 2 black people in a workforce of 100+, people are gonna ask me, "So, what do you think about the verdict?"
My answer will be this.
"OH, I FEEL GREAT. LONG AS I DON'T HAVE TO WALK HOME, YOU KNOW. AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, EVERYONE WEARS HOODIES HERE. EXCEPT WHEN THEY SEE I'M BLACK, WELL...SHOULD BE OKAY. I MEAN, I'M AMERICAN, RIGHT?"
Yeah. We see how well that worked for Trayvon Martin.
