The Irresponsibilty of Mental Slavery: Barney's Fiasco

There is a difference between what is right and what is responsible. For instance, prior to the civil rights movement, race based discrimination was legal but many would argue that it was cruel and irresponsible (though acceptable) and those practicing it were within their rights to do so. But everyone does have a “right” to do whatever is within the law, including eat food that is bad for them that leads to a short unhealthy life and spend money they don’t have at places that do not want them in there. It is ignorant as hell. I can not understand why the f*** anyone of any ethnicity would want to spend their money where it is not wanted, then spend energy protesting the fact that it is not wanted rather than spend that energy building a self sustaining infrastructure that values them and supports their community. We, America, are brainwashed and I am not sure anything can change that. The best we can hope for in terms of mass change is Jesus (seriously) and a bunch of people jumping on the bandwagon after real change has been made. Black people had an economic infrastructure before that relied on loyal Black support. That support was reciprocated and the dollar turned around in our community dozens of times, but we abandoned it once “massah”, read - masses, said he would let us come spend our money and pimp our resources to him (a new form of slavery that we are still in). Maybe that was the plan all along? The Negro leagues was the largest Black business in the world at the time and provided very good livings for many of the players and their families as well as owners (Black and White) suppliers, vendors, and laborers in the Black community. This was abandoned and lost once we let the desires of the few out weigh the needs of the many. The highest percentage of Black players ever in the MLB was 12% of the league but entire communities all over the US were making a living off of the Negro leagues. I do find this quote from a white woman regarding the Barney's incident interesting though:

“I am a white professional woman in her 40′s who can and does shop with you. You will never get another cent from me. You are racist bigots and should be ashamed of yourselves.”

It is funny to me how some White people have sense enough to not spend their money in a place that is against their principles or where it is not wanted but a lot of Black people will fight and protest for the “right” to spend their money where it is not wanted but will not spend a dime to support viable Black enterprises that support them. If there is one thing that has virtually decimated the Black community, that one thing is it.

I Am George Zimmerman

So what you are saying is that if George Zimmerman were walking in my neighborhood, based on the fact that I do not see many people like him in my area, I can follow him in my car (because he looks suspicious) through the neighborhood; call 911 and report him while continuing to follow him. I can see that he is looking around and I can see that he sees me and is on the phone with someone. I can tell that he is not Black but I can't tell what he is up to because I can not read body language, but I know that white men walking through non white neighborhoods is strange so it doesn't surprise me when he suddenly takes off running. It never dawns on me that he is RUNNING AWAY from me because he might be scared or maybe he just does not want to be followed but I decide to get out of my car and go running after George despite the 911 operator telling me not to because "these assholes always get away". As I'm out of breath from chasing him I call him a punk. George has no idea why I am following him and I have no idea that he was on his way home, because I don't see people like him in my neighborhood and I "genuinely" want to help keep my neighborhood safe. So I keep running after him and looking for him long after the 911 operator told me to NOT TO FOLLOW HIM. George decides, maybe, that I may mean him harm - I mean he did RUN AWAY and I still managed to catch up to him - so he could be really scared now but all I know is "these fuckin punks" and "these assholes always get away" so I continue to pursue. Here is where it gets a little sketchy, I catch up to George and confront him or George gets tired of running AWAY from me and decides to try to protect himself from me but what poor George doesn't know is that I am strapped and I am not taking any shit from these punk assholes tonight. So when George decides to try to get me away from him by beating my ass with a bag of Skittles and his cell phone because, let's just say I out weigh him by 100lbs and I am older and stronger than him, instead of me fighting back with my cell phone, which I was just on, I decide to even the odds a little bit. I mean he has a phone AND Skittles and all I have is a phone and my gun. I decide that it is obvious that George had planned to attack me all along that's why he RAN AWAY from me - so he could lure me into a secluded space and beat me to death with his Skittles and cell phone. I'm fearing for my life now but this "punk asshole" George Zimmerman picked the wrong concerned citizen to RUN AWAY from tonight because I shoot his ass dead and I know that no jury in the world will convict a man for keeping his neighborhood safe from a resident that he doesn't recognize... right? So you all are saying that you would recommend that I take this approach in my neighborhood when I see strangers or maybe you would advise your sons or daughters that if they are being followed in their OWN NEIGHBORHOOD that they should not RUN AWAY and try to get home but they should just walk normally and hope for the best. Is that what your position is?
