What's so disheartening about your expectation is the way it reflects how people just accept the racial divide in this country. While Trayvon's story obviously resonates in different ways based on personal identification and experience, the question you anticipate being asked speaks to me of the expectation that people will and even should feel anything less than the same bewildered outrage and horror at the verdict that anyone of conscience should feel, no matter what race they are. I think the foremost emotion I felt when I heard the news last night was a deep despair for this country. Especially when I overheard the girl down the table from the show I was at when the news broke complaining, "Oh, god, and of course I live in Harlem, it's where all the bad stuff happens" (insert the tone of narcissistic ignorance by a moronic white 20-something). Unbelievable.

I hope your co-workers will be less than morons about this.

I was glued to MSNBC on and off most of the evening, knowing that a verdict was going to come in. And I don't know, maybe I'm just old and naive but I was so sure he was guilty... I mean of course he's guilty!

HOW CAN HE BE ANYTHING ELSE BUT GUILTY!

I really lost all faith in humanity and in our justice system. I just sat in shock wishing I could hold Trayvon's mother knowing how helpless she must feel...

I just never saw this coming, but I should have after all it is the south...

Shame on George Zimmerman for ever saying "It was God's plan..."

It just makes me sad to be an American, my God it's 2013 for Christ sakes...

My heart goes out to all our young black men, who now have to live in fear just walking home... ~ Kathleen
