.for you it might not be a race thing because you will never bear inside your body a black male child and wonder will he live to see 21. for you it might not be a race thing because the mere look of you is and will never be seen as a threat. if i had those options it would not be race thing for me either. my heart goes out to all those who have been victims of crime due to violence. i never will and never have condoned violence. nokho, also will never condone a system that condones shooting somebody based on appearances,or possible reasons why they are out at night,. i will never condone a system that will take my money is accepted,but i or my son is not. i will never condone the state of things as they are. america is no utopia. i feel the effects of being a minority in america everyday,and even in the church.
