The death of Trayvon Martin and the Zimmerman trial show there are deep
wounds and grievances in this country and too many people who profit
from fanning the flames. Too many in the white community see violence
in the black community and think, “That’s their problem. Blacks killing
blacks, we’ll let them figure it out.” But it is not their problem.
It is all of our problem. No one wants to be a victim of crime.
Besides, much of the crime is not related to race, but related truly to
income and only superficially related to skin color. This is a problem
that will continue to fester unless there is more dialogue. White and
black America more and more speak in different language and, more and
more, upper income white America speaks in a language completely
different from the poor and middle class regardless of race.
