Dear friends and family,
Nancy's courage and clarity in writing what shows up now on her face-book makes me ashamed that I have taken so few stands which put me into ANY real threat or danger. Thank you, Nancy Bob
Nancy Griffin says:
It is not justice when a man gets off for killing another man. Self defense? Hard to believe. Allows a person to get off after provoking another person to violence. We can be sure things would have been different if the neighborhood watch guy had been black and the teenager had been white, holding everything else the same. If you don't believe that, pay attention.
I am a white woman. Five other white women agreed on this verdict. I understand why they did, but it still is not justice. I place the blame on our society which continues to give unfair advantage to white people.
If you don't agree with me, you can still engage about this. We need to be able to discuss difficult matters like this to exist together in this world.
