walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[ramseycat]

You're absolutely right, I think it's dangerous. I know how quickly life can turn from sugar to shit.

I have friends who won't even leave the suburbs at night, even if we go in a group. I'm going to dinner in a little bit with my lady friends and we have to eat within a ten mile radius or my best buddy won't go. That is kinda sad. Plus, the restaurants aren't that great. She refuses to go into the city for Thai food (that was my vote this evening) so we have to go to a steakhouse in the sticks.


They don't take credit cards or debit cards, have to go with cash (only place I know that still takes checks) because my friend thinks we will be mugged if we drive ten miles in the other direction...

We all have to deal with shit because a segment of the population thinks it's okay to live in fear.

Where the hell to you live that you can't be safe 10 miles away from your neighborhood?? My brother's town is not like that at all. From what I saw anyway. And my mother has been down there for the past month and they go all over.
