Archive Entry #27: July 18, 2013
There are few issues I feel more strongly about than the racial divide in our country, a divide most obviously fueled by bigotry and prejudice. When bigotry and prejudice influence decisions that affect people’s lives, it’s called racism. Racism - bigotry with power - is alive and...not well in the United States. So passionately do I feel about our racial divide that I am devoting consecutive archive entries to the subject.
Entry #26 (find it HERE) approached the subject in the aftermath of the O.J. Simpson criminal case acquittal in verdict in 1995. Today’s entry responds to another acquittal, this one from last year’s George Zimmerman trial (Zimmerman had been charged with murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin).
Eighteen years passed between the columns; but sadly, not much else.
