Discogoddess,
You made the point I was trying to make! The fact of the matter is that several people got SHOT and could have lost their lives. I don't know if Puffy or Shine or who did the shooting, but the whole thing did not sit well with me and I am not going to celebrate him being found not guilty (notice I did not say innocent)
The "another black man being persecuted by the man" story are, frankly getting old to me. My 60 years old plus aunt got stabbed multiple times and left for dead by the black 'man' (I use that term loosely)who was trying to rob her. This "man" had previously done some yard work for her and thought she was a good mark. The first trial ended in a hung jury because a woman on the jury said (to my father of all people!) that she "could not stand to see another black man go to jail!!" Uh huh, but she could stand to see an elderly black woman get murdered in her own home!!
Sympathy is great, when it is properly placed.
**shaking my head**
