I just saw something that turned my head.

I was out walking the dog and a car caught my eye as it passed by. I don't know why I kept my attention on it. Nothing special about it except I noticed the driver was hunched over the wheel. And then I saw it!

On the rear window there was a memorium sticker. I had seen the name so often that it just jumped off the glass: Trayvon Martin! And it had the year of his birth, and of course, the day he died. I think the guy was Caucasian.

Red, red county, as I've said many, many times before, so this was unexpected.

It is the establishment who promote and feed racism. There are lots of decent folks everywhere.
