[Vision2020] No book deal

Tue Jul 16 10:25:21 PDT 2013

Good Morning Scott,

I might well be all three of those adjectives, Scott.  However, I have one
"credential" that I think you and most of the other white readers  on V2020
(and certainly those moronic women on the jury) lack -  the experience of an
interracial family, and forty plus years of dealing with folks who don't
even recognize the bounty they reap from  unearned privilege and racial
entitlement - starting with my own  embarrassing lack of awareness of the
power of race and gender-based benefits decades ago.   

I have slowly and painfully earned the right to be mighty sick and tired of
limousine  liberals, Dixiecrat conservatives, and "crazy ass white crackers
who sit on Florida juries"  in matters concerning the inherent bigotry in
this state, in Florida,  and this country.  And even with all that, I am
still (until I open my mouth) gratuitously awarded advantages that people of
color rarely enjoy.

I consider Juror B37 to be profoundly unaware and grievously ignorant of the
real world of those who are not born middleclass, able-bodied, white, and
male.  I don't give a hoot or a holler about her weeping and moaning over
the "hours" she and her cohorts spent whittling down Zimmerman's
culpability. That is so offensive to me that even I dare not open that door.

Rose

Correction:

Rose, you've now deemed to be 'racist', 'culturally incompetent', and a
'cretin'.

Same question applies though...Would it be fair to say that you consider
Juror B37 to be 'biased' and that you consider yourself to be 'unbiased'?

The teachable moment that I get out of this from you Rose is that if you
disagree with a verdict, find fault with
jurors.   You've now deemed Juror B37 as 'racist' and 'culturally
incompetent'.

Would it be fair to say that you consider Juror B37 to be 'biased' and that
you consider yourself to be 'unbiased'?

The reason I ask is that I watched the interview and I read the full
transcript and found her to be neither a 'racist'
nor 'culturally incompetent'.  That doesn't mean that she's not, I just
don't find enough evidence based on what
I've seen and read.  I'm willing to keep an open mind though.

In fairness, since I mentioned the potential book deal for Juror B37 I am
honor bound to share:

"Martin Literary Management announced Monday that it was representing B37
and her husband, who is an attorney. The names of the jurors have not been
released, but during jury selection it was disclosed that B37 works in an
unspecified management position and has two adult children.

But agency head Sharlene Martin released a statement late Monday saying she
was no longer representing the juror and that the juror had dropped the book
idea. It included a statement that she said was crafted in conjunction with
agency in which the juror explained that being sequestered had kept her
shielded "from the depth of pain that exists among the general public over
every aspect of the case." The juror said that the book was meant to show
that our justice system "can get so complicated that it creates a conflict
with our `spirit' of justice."

It is to be hoped that she can quietly retire to her private life, although,
her cultural incompetence remains available as a teachable moment for all of
us.
