Oprah got her success from the women (and they happened to be white) who supported her. And Oprah attended the hate white church of Reverend Wright and it shows by her conclusions on white Americans.
Look, the whole story is that we have black youth breaking and entering, and a black youth out in the rain with a Hoodie, reaching inside his waistband as though pretending he had a gun. A perceived threat to the community neighborhood watch. He was already trying to act tough, and everyone is blaming GZ for trying to act tough or vigilante. Perfect word, BTW, for the media to incite emotional anger.
Shame on his parents AND Sharpton for talking about TM's "legacy". Going by his FB and cell phone texts, I'd be embarrassed to pretend he was a roll model for anyone, but a thug wanna be. BUT, the media won't get into that information. They'll put his hoodie in a museum, as though he was a hero. Society is nuts.
The fact that some other black guy was breaking into houses has nothing to do with Martin, and of course claiming that wearing a hoodie in the rain is suspicious is laughable. Also, I have to note that, although Zimmerman was supposedly worried that Martin had a gun, he then creeped behind him in his car, and then got out of his car and ran after him on foot when Martin tried to run away. I'll also note that Zimmerman never said that Martin reached into his waistband, but merely that he had one hand there, as well as holding "something" in his other hand.
In any event, it's grimly amusing to note the double standard at play here. Walking around in weather-appropriate clothing is "suspicious", but pulling to the side of the road to stare at someone is totally normal. Having a hand in a pocket is frightening, but creeping behind a pedestrian in your car is normal. If you have candy and a drink, you're on drugs and thus a vicious thug, but if you get out of your car with a gun to chase after someone you've clearly frightened into running from you, well you're just worried about the neighborhood. It's all quite telling, when it comes to some folks' irrational fear of black people.

Neighborhood Watch - Zimmerman's position in this gated community - well liked by all. It was his job to suspect anyone he did not recognize. It was his job to stare. It was his job to take account of his surroundings. Zimmerman wasn't the pizza delivery, hence, he would be watching Trayvon.
Back on topic, he didn't call several friends to dogpile and gouge out TM's eye or tie barbed wire around his neck or shoot him in the face and throw him in a river. No comparison to Emmett Till - not one iota.
Why didn't TM have any facial wounds? Zimmerman was too short to reach his face. Self-defense - shoot the aggressor to save your life. Case closed. No comparison to Emmett Till - not one iota.
I lost all respect for the woman( I won't call her a lady any longer)
That is pure race baiting, using false propaganda.
We will never get over the hump, to unite as Americans, with closet racist like Oprah has turned out to be.
