    Discrimination is not the equivalent of racism as I can discriminate based upon anything.

    It's racism if I think they can't be included because my skin color makes me superior to them and their skin color.

    Some white folks choose to not include black folks in their pool of potential mates. Some black folks choose to not include white folks in their pool of potential mates. That's a preferential prejudice. It's not racist.


    The way I paint it, Woody didn't refute anything.

    Cool. Keep painting things your way, and you'll never lose a debate.

    I usually do. It's getting all the rest of us to admit to it that's the challenge.

    My point was that cooperation and comunication would have solved the problem without bloodshed. If George had spoken to Trayvon instead of simply following him.

    "Hey, excuse me, my name is George, I am part of our neighborhood watch program here. Can I help you find a specific address?"

    Something like that, then Trayvon would not have thought he was being stalked by someone "creepy."

    If Trayvon had turned around and said, "Hey, are you following me?" Instead of jumping out the bushes and attacking George.

    I see a lot of could have should have solutions to that night that would have avoided bloodshed, but they all start with either George or Trayvon having the courage to confront the other and communicate instead of fighting or shooting.

    Why was Trayvon up between houses, that were not his, talking on the phone?

    Anyone who lives in that neighborhood has the right to ask that of anyone regardless of color. Unfortunately the racebaters have a good portion of certain races all worked up at a constant level that they are looking for someone to be mistreat them under every rock. And when they are acting like this they are no better than the people they accuse.
