There are parallels between Mamie Till Mobley (Emmett Till's mom) as well. >>All of the known facts support the likelihood that Martin was pursued and killed by a zealous neighborhood watch captain. But Martin is black, his assailant, George Zimmerman, is white (Hispanic), and the events took place in Florida, which has a strong self-defense law. So rather than quietly grieve, comforted by the assurance that this terrible wrong will be forcefully addressed, Fulton must do what many black mothers have had to do for decades. She must lead the charge to bring the killer to justice. She must hire a lawyer, although her son broke no law. She must appear at rallies and on the radio to keep public pressure on local police who have refused to arrest Zimmerman. In the early 20th century, the consequences for the kind of relentless determination displayed by Fulton could be deadly. Of the several dozen black women who were lynched in our nation's history, most were killed in retaliation for demanding the arrest of those who murdered their sons or husbands. We've come a long way since those days. But Fulton still feels the pain of having to defend the honor of her son and justify the significance of his life.<<

But I'd tell you to your face exactly what I'm telling you here - you're way off base on this whole topic, especially your defense of a guy you (seemingly affectionately) call "Zimm," who at the very best recklessly caused another human being's death.

Well, I'm big too. And I have a blackbelt. But I would never say something as puerile as you just did.
