me too....
the guy was killed, and he never did anything deserving of death, that is ALL that matters in this case....he was disrespected greatly
I'll still stand by Jason Whitlock's column (if you haven't read it). It's hard to ignore facts in this case. Was he a murder victim? Sure. But if he wanted to do something very good for him family, he'd move out of that area and move to where his football team is like every other NFL player. A week before, someone broke into his house and left a knife on his bed...That'd be a tell tale sign to me "OK, time to get out of here"....The murdering of someone is never justified. But if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck....its a duck...Just my two cents
It's like saying to a women who was raped "hey you shouldn't have dressed like that".
Two separate points are mixed together here:
1. Of course there's a tendency to stereotype and rush to judgment about black males. We as a society need many reminders of this persistent error.
