George Zimmerman - I don't believe for a moment that he intended to kill Trayvon Martin and as a mother my heart is saddened for BOTH mothers. The only people who truly know what happened, how it happened, and all of the specific pieces are George and Trayvon. Not the media. Not the police and certianly not the GOVERNMENT! The government has no business getting involved now that the jury has returned it's verdict. If they want to get involved then why not get involved in the case of the 4 black men who beat a white ex-marine in Georgia. Why is that case not a 'race' case? Why do we continue to throw any kind of card? Another example ~ I want my special ed child included in every aspect at school but when I need to I'm going to throw the 'my kid has special needs' to get them special privleges. Racism goes in all directions regardless of color but yet no one likes it - myself included. Here's a shocker ~ we are ALL human created in God's image. We are ALL children of God. Let's ALL act as such.
That said it leads me to Big Brother ~ where do I begin.....I was very excited to learn that a girl from my home town was on. And on top of that she is attending one of my alumni colleges (Southwest Texas ~ now called Texas State) so that made it even better. Welllll......I am very saddened and really disgusted that she's from Angelo, SWT, or even Texas for that matter. She gives my town/college/state a bad name. She is a MEAN girl with some very bad stuff spewing from her mouth. She needs to learn the choices you make affect the choices you make. How surprised will she be (and the others that are meeting the same fate) to learn that she's been fired from her job? What will her fellow SWT/TS students think ~ will they treat her as she has treated? I guess time will tell but let me just say ~ IN NO WAY does she represent me, my school, or my state! She (and others in the house) need to grow up and learn how to treat people.
Now with all this rambling said let me just say this ~ I am prejudiced. I am prejudiced against those that are mean to others, those that don't pull their own weight, those that think they are better than others, those that abuse kids/animals/adults, and on & on REGARDLESS of color. I am color BLIND when it comes to this. White, black, brown, yellow, pink, purple, orange, or whatever color.
As Luke 10:27 states:
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There you go!
Enough said.
