Racism - It's a real thing.

Was just coming to post about this. Bizarre. Someone just finds a man hanging in a tree on a Monday afternoon?

Kid near my house did this a few years back (well, my old house where I grew up)...He left his house, walked to the park, went into the forest and hung himself.  Probably only 200 yards from his parents house.  

No clue if this is a suicide or not but I could not imagine walking up and seeing that.

A forest I can see not finding them right away. I mean they have a whole suicide forest in Japan or wherever but this Fuller guy was in front of city hall on what I assume to be a regularly used street.

 







I guess I could start an MLK or Black leaders topic but thought I'd just throw this in here.

The thing that struck me about this interview is he's only 32 and sounds... like this. When you're a kid in school watching MLK speeches when thinking of his age he's just an older adult. When you're older than he was here and realize you have never sounded this good and never will, then you really realize how amazing he was and how he was able to do what he did. I think there are very few people who are smart but also able to sound smart when speaking, without also speaking over people's heads.

I understand this and I'm sure there was some racial stereotyping when making this marketing choice.

However, I always just looked at it as a woman who seemed like a loving and caring person who could make great pancakes with her syrup.  I honestly never really thought about her being black.
