That being said, the final section of your post has truth and power.

‘Likewise, we can also live with radical postures, as we reject false claims to the reigns over our lives, because nothing that can be done to us will pass through death to the other side. So we can speak boldly and say “No” to “God and Country” and simultaneously say “Yes” to “God and His Kingdom”.’

Wow! Thanks.

As for the comment about lynching, it has actually been the opposite. MOST of the black community have been decrying the fact that this needs to be decided in court rather than by local police offers acting as the judge and jury over Zimmerman’s guilt. There are some fringe groups who have made other comments or taken other actions, but that is not representative of most black people. Also, I do talk about the new black panthers approach in another post, which you should read. No lynching is taking place, lynching was when white american grabbed and killed (primarily) black men on whim or because of racial anxiety, with the purpose of intimidating the black community. That was the whole purpose of the KKK and the White Citizens Council. Such things are not happening now in reverse, so it is a bit insulting to take such serious history and water down and domesticate those terms, which is what happens if we say that Zimmerman is being lynched. I am hoping he is arrested and sees his day in court.

I’ve lived in Mechanicsburg for about 8 years now and have experienced worse than that several times in different places. I disregarded all the rumors about how much racism there is in Mechanicsburg, PA. It’s a shame, I moved here because of how nice this place appeared to be overall and some cops around here are even worse than the ignorant youngsters harassing me in all different ways to make me leave the place because of my background. These police officers around here take turns to follow me block-to-block since they see me until I leave the area, from the street where I live in to the grocery store, restaurant, gas station, bowling alley, or theaters, then back to my house.

I went to a bar in Mechanicsburg downtown and some guy purposely pushed me with his arm while passing by me and said “and say something”. I got up and asked him what was his problem and the manager who witnessed it asked the bouncer to walk me out, instead he picked me up and threw me out the door all because I said “I haven’t do anything wrong, he is the one looking for trouble and you saw it”. To top it off they called the cops on me, not only that, when the cops were questioning me and telling me I would have to come with them the guy and five other walked outside saying out-loud “WE DODN’T FEEL COMFORTABLE AROUND YOUR KIND, YOU SHOULD LEAVE, THIS IS OUR HOME-TOWN N*GG*R” and all the police officers did is tell me to ignore them and that since they lied about me being the trouble-maker they would take me home to make sure I didn’t stay there.

The way I see it since the cops tolerated their prejudice behavior and handled the situation the way they did, all they should do next time is call the local authorities and make them aware of the n*gg* presence and the cops will gladly get rid of him/her for them. The only reason I haven’t move out yet is because of my job, but hopefully after I pay everything off I will buy a house in FL and leave.
