Nothing burns me up more than stereotypes. Why? Because I recognize the danger in them. You would think that an educated Fire Captain would recognized that too and not buy into them, but apparently Captain Brian Beckmann of Miami Dade Firefighters believes in them enough to make this statement regarding Trayvon's parents:
"Failed, shitbag, ignorant parents" are to blame in cases like the shooting death of unarmed Miami teen Trayvon Martin"~~Captain Brian Beckman~~
Some people lack compassion for others in their hour of grief. These people are still grieving over the loss of their child. I've lived a long time, but I never thought the day would come when people would say some of the cruelest things in situations where families are grieving over their loved ones. Some folks don't even allow families to grieve in peace anymore. They'd rather pile on more hurt and pain.
Okie dokie! So, I wonder if the good Captain can tell us what type of parents George Zimmerman has?
While he is at it, I wonder if he could tell us what type of parents Representative Allen West has? Because West is crazier than a road lizard. It's obvious every time he opens his mouth. I'm waiting on his scandal to come out.
Well, for the umpteenth time, the Senate plans to bring a bill to the Senate and discuss racial profiling. Good luck with that considering the makeup of the House of Representatives.

Racial profiling is common sense, Granny.
Would you outlaw "gender profiling" if you were looking for a rapist?
As long as profiling isn't abused in order hassle innocent people, I'm all for it.
Appalling, especially since it comes from a senior public servant. I'm not surprised, however. This kind of open contempt and disregard seems to be becoming the status quo.
That being said, it is important that this and other cracks not disrupt us from pursuing justice and empowerment.
I hope that fire Captain loses his job.
This country definitely needs to do something about racial profiling. Especially in New York City, the NYPD doesn't even try to hide that they profile.
I wonder what kind of parents Brian Beckman has/had?
Welcome back Granny!
My bruthas and sistas, let us all join with Granny in a "Million Sheboons for Trayvon" march.
Granny, does this post mean that you are back to posting regularly or is this just to confuse us?
Brian Beckman speaks my sentiment exactly about a lot of the NON-parenting of kids in East Oakland. They are dangerous and make this city very unsafe.
did you know that Oakland ranks #1 in killings? I don't blame people for being afraid of bm. Heck, even Blacks are afraid of bm.
James, the problem is that profiling is abused and for some reason only targets people of color. Let me give you an example of something that happened yesterday. A middle age, black man was sitting on a bench in front of a store minding his own business. The man said he was resting because he was tired. A white man came along and just sprayed the man with mace. The black man had the store to call the police. Five police cars showed up, but they went straight to the black man and handcuffed him and he was the victim. When the people in the store told the police that the black man was the victim. But they did not arrest the white man or handcuff him. They stood there for a minute talking and left. That was considered an assault.
Mildred, I'm not surprise. If the head is sick, the whole body is sick. There are a lot of sick-minded people out there now. Take a look at some of the comments on here.
Val, I pray that he is demoted because that would humble him.
Redeye, Thanks!
oh sure, Granny, that story about the bench really did happen... it's not as if hate-mongering black racists tell tall tales to incite anti-white hatred. What a twisted mind you have, not even your (10) readers believe that one.
Anonymous, I feel sorry for you. You are so consumed in your hate that your obsessed with paranoia. I'm still praying for you though.
I don't care if you believe the story or not because I know for a fact that it really did happen.
Your mind is so messed up and you are so delusional.
That's funny you calling someone a racist and you've done nothing but spout out hate filled words. So, now we know who the real racist is don't we--YOU!
Nevertheless, please continue showing your uncivilized, racist, and hate-filled ass. You're only demonstrating to others what we already knew about you all the time.
I don't believe it. How can so many people comment on this blog? what's so special about Granny?
