Problems to be fixed in America
I have tried in every way to stay out of this debate over race in this country, but the argument has become so skewed we have somehow lost focus on it. Even with all the hype from the media about race we have yet to address what the real problem is. But I will get to that later. But for now I have researched the data on this and this is what I have found: In 2009 there were 342 Blacks killed by Whites. Also that same year there were 4.094 blacks killed by other blacks. In one weekend in chicago March 16-19 41 people were shot, mostly black. And in the census from 2000 to 2009 1.361 out of every 100.000 were being incarcerated. Now the statistics do not lie and the majority of the crimes committed against blacks were committed by other blacks. And don't think I have forgotten about the White crime rates. They are equally as bad. So you have to ask yourself what has changed in America so dramatically to have gotten us to this point?
I have done the research and what I have seen on the New American Family is astonishing. Unfortunately, the growth in the number of children born into broken families in America--from 12 for every 100 born in 1950 to 58 for every 100 born in 1992 --has become a seemingly unbreakable cycle that the federal government not only continues to ignore, but even promotes through some of its policies. Today, the economic and social future of children in the poor and the middle class is being undermined by a culture that promotes teenage sex, divorce, cohabitation, and out-of-wedlock birth. This is a trend in all races.
So I think we should take a better look at the bigger picture. A damaged society is a result of damaged families. Parents have been taken out of the daily lives of their children by unjust laws and by Psychologist who with a little schooling have it all figured out. Humans know how to be parents all of us know the difference between right and wrong. We do not need to fill our children full of dope to calm them, we just need to allow the families to take some of their personal responsibilities back.
Children marry to young because they figure their parents have nothing left to teach them. And most parents fall away from their childs life when the child reaches a certain age. And at that point the child has to in-turn fend for themselves.
I do not see race being the problem as much as the breaking up of the American family Black or White. If we concentrate on fixing the American Family from Education and the Family Unit I believe we could solve this problem as one people not as groups. This is not a black or white problem it is American problem.

Race in America
I have set back and watched this whole trial unfold. Question Did Sybrina Fulton ask for a trial for her son? Answer: She did. Question Did she say she would abide by the verdict? Answer: She did. So I ask you, why all the anger? Well I would think by watching that trial all the way through and seeing how Zimmerman was betrayed by the media and the judge's odd behavior, they figured they had a verdict locked up. The big question here is if the trial was fair. The answer to that was also yes. The prosecution sought 2nd degree murder and they had no evidence of that and as you know you cannot convict someone of 2nd degree murder on anything, if there is a reasonable doubt.
All I see coming of this is of course what Obama had intended in the first place. Mass distraction. This whole case from beginning to end was decided by the public because of the involvement of our Government and the media. All of you who have fell for this trap are nothing more than sheep. And all that continue to spin this as a race crime just do not want to accept the outcome of the trial.
The outcome of this is tragic in every way possible I feel for the families of both. I however do not feel this is the Civil Rights case of the century. And the Black Leaders who have stirred all this hatred up have not done civil rights a service, and by invoking Dr Kings name in this case is down right shameful to what he stood for and what he fought for and for what he died for. All of you who continue to use this as a reason to destroy and to commit crimes against other people should practice what you preach. You preach Justice and Peace and then go right out and break the law. This is not a 3rd world country you live in we have the rule of law that makes this country what it has become today. Going out to the streets and destroying other peoples property and burning cars is not how this country reacts.
What I have to say to the leaders of all this strife is you need to move along, your era and hated ways of civil rights is long in the past. You gave that up when you failed to do what Dr King did and that was being a peaceful man. The man was the epitome of a leader and to this day no one has been even close to filling his shoes. The leaders or so called leaders who followed him, strayed to violent tendencies. This is and should not be associated with Dr Kings legacy.
Respect the outcome of the trial and move on. If you want the laws changed then call your legislators.

The World we know.
Taking a look at the last week I have began to wonder what is going on in this country. When you listen to the news you would think you were living in another world. There's fighting on abortion, racism in the courts, the failure of Obama care, money being spent in asinine places in the government, and the Fed is pushing "everything's just fine" while buying worthless bonds. Building on the same premise to what brought us to where we are now. A trial that should have been left in the hands of the Jury, but was and is not. A man killed in Georgia that happen to be white and killed by 4 black youths for no reason and nothing.
This is my summation to all of this: We live in a world of titles and subcategories. There is black, white, hispanic, asian and others, there is rich and middle class and poor. There are Baptist, Church of God and a various amount of other ones. You know where I am going with this. We have become a world of groups and stereotypes. Maybe it is just me I see this all just complicates the situation. The more differences you draw between people the less likely you will ever close that gap of understanding. Religion has celebrated the comfort of togetherness, and then pushes it apart by groups. I can actually see in my everyday life that some religious groups will down right look down on you because you do not believe in their way, you somehow become a second class citizen. Religion was built on togetherness and love and now has been skewed by groups and beliefs that are not conducive to bringing people together.
Getting to the other subjects such as race, wealth and the other stereotypes. There is a reason why humans do this. That is for personal gain. You have a large amount people who prey on others for their own benefit.
As I get a year older today I remember what my Grandfather use to say to me as a child. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect their beliefs and opinions. But most of all love them for who they are.
