I'm glad he won, but now as AfroAmericans we need to put together a sound workable AGENDA to present to him to make sure OUR needs and wants are being met this time around. What does it say to the world that we had an AfroAmerican President in the Whitehouse for 8 years and conditions in the Black community still continued to deteriorate?

It's not so much the size as it's the shape.

This is the danger of an over-armed and under-policed or atleast improperly policed society. You have a situation where it's every man for himself and people begin to think and behave like savages. One of the problems with these "stand your ground" laws is that most civilians aren't trained like the police are to determine who is a threat and who is not, nor are they trained on how to de-escalate potentially violent situations. Most gun rights activist promote the idea of everyone having the right to kill in the name of self defense but they're a spiritual aspect to killing another human being that most people aren't prepared to deal with.

This is indeed a sad sad situation, especially for their 3 month old daughter who is now an orphan. Why would a relatively healthy (physically atleast) 25 year old man with wealth and a beautiful family feel so hopeless to want to not only take his own life and that of his woman but to do it infront of an audience. Damn.
