Racism, George Zimmerman, and the Death Penalty
About a week ago, I wrote about all the people who took to the internet to rejoice at the possibility that George Zimmerman might be charged capitally for Trayvon Martin’s murder.
Today, I received the personal confirmation of what I wrote in my original post, namely that “Anyone who opposes the idea that Zimmerman is a monster who needs to be tortured and/or killed is immediately accused of derailing the conversation or of being a racist who supports Zimmerman.”
In other words, I’ve just been notified that I’m a racist.
All of this provides me with an excellent opportunity to write a bit more about this nonsense that supporting some executions makes one a good person while opposing all executions makes one a racist.
