[Vision2020] No book deal

Thank you, Rose, for an excellently expressed, deep-hearted feeling that can only originate from someone that's been there, done that.

To Mr. Dredge I echo these words from Paul Harvey . . .

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

However, I have one “credential” that I think you and most of the other white readers  on V2020 (and certainly those moronic women on the jury) lack –  the experience of an interracial family, and forty plus years of dealing with folks who don’t  even recognize the bounty they reap from  unearned privilege and racial entitlement – starting with my own  embarrassing lack of awareness of the power of race and gender-based benefits decades ago.

I don’t give a hoot or a holler about her weeping and moaning over the “hours” she and her cohorts spent whittling down Zimmerman’s culpability. That is so offensive to me that even I dare not open that door.

It included a statement that she said was crafted in conjunction with agency in which the juror explained that being sequestered had kept her shielded "from the depth of pain that exists among the general public over every aspect of the case." The juror said that the book was meant to show that our justice system "can get so complicated that it creates a conflict with our `spirit' of justice."
