My humble and sincere prayer to God on you behalf is that lives will be inhanced and improve be you dare to be silent. Continue to speak truth to power, continue to keep the fire of hope burning in the breast of the oppressed. Because righteousness exhaults a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The sin of omission is just as great as the sin of commission. Let us all be reminded, that the God of the universe who fills the cosmic order is still Master of Earth and Sky and Sea.

I only wish you were one of the jurors. And I can guarantee you that if Treyvon was one of their sons, all the blindness and racism pouring out of juror b37 would have been a different story.

This is beautiful, insightful, needed, extraordinary, gripping, generous... Most of all I felt a deep feeling of love! <br /><br />As a black man who strives for racial unity and unwilling to participate in conversation which is of the contrary, found myself skeptical that White American, even the willing, were able to look at me as equal following the verdict. And even in that statement it seems I seek validation. The verdict changed my perspective's paradigm in terms of race relation, I will never be the same but I happy I ran across this article. You're a different kind of creature; a needed voice.

Federal prosecuters should use your psycological insight as a stronghold for their case against George. Thank you for this eloquent statement of truth.
