And that is the only thing that some conservatives seem to want to talk about. Not that a kid got murdered, but that it was falsely made into a race issue. That a dead kid is secondary to this poisonous political polarized climate. The problem is if this had not made the news, it may have been swept under the rug due to poor investigative work by several entities and a foolish Florida law. I do not agree with how it made the news, but since it is there, some wrongs need to be made right.

So is everything else secondary to this kid being killed? How many wrongful deaths have occurred since this story broke...........or do only black kids killed by someone of another race count? Since this story broke, how many people have been saved in hospitals in this country by black, white, yellow and red doctors who didn't wait for someone else to make something of their lives, but took the initiative themselves? I suppose that the topic of conversation is whatever some national news source says it should be.

I think for the most part that conservatives want to allow an opportunity for the system we already have in place to be used. None of the empty suits on CBS, NBC, CNN, or even FOX can add one piece of crucial evidence that will lead to the truth of what took place. All the discussion of what each of these guy's histories were, whether it be at the water cooler or an entire panel of self-proclaimed experts, won't unveil some miraculous solution to this case.

However, if you want a discussion of what took place then all that any of us can add that is fact is that Martin is dead and Zimmerman has acknowledged pulling the trigger. It is truly a tragic event. Anything other than that is opinion or hearsay. Give the system the opportunity to work.

The real discussion is that we continue to allow these Sharpton types to use these events to spew their racial prejudice. None of these people have the least bit of interest in bringing races together..........their full intent is to continue to push for division. It simply amazes me that there are so many people who either don't have the intelligence to see through the smoke and mirrors, or are so gullible that they simply can't think for themselves. As a result, people allow themselves to be convinced that their problems are the result of society, politics, or merely someone else's mistake. In turn, this leads to the mindset that the solutions must also come from those places.

The fact of the matter is that not one of us was owed one damn thing the day we were born, nor did we owe one damn thing to another. I don't care if your black, white, yellow, or red you start this life even and have the same opportunity to make something of and for yourself as any one else does. If you sit back and expect it to be given to you then you deserve nothing. If you bust your ass and take responsibility for yourself.
