So, my son plays Pop Warner ball in Jacksonville.

 

We live on the Southside and many times find ourselves travelling to some of the less desirable parts of town...Most of the time, the people are good-hearted, salt of the earth folks that just want to see a good game and have a good time.

 

We were waiting to weigh in today (Pop Warner has age/weight limits) and the guy running the PA system asked that all the people there get out and vote. That, "If we want to make a difference, we need to educate ourselves, and go vote." And I'm kinda agreeing with the guy...then he throws in "If we want to do something about Trayvon, Brown, Davis then we need to educate ourselves and get out and vote"

 

What the hell would they vote for that would change any of those situations? 

 

I just don't understand the race hustling. How was this guy, who should just be telling folks to go get some fried goodness from the concession stand, able to say that with a straight face. He asked for an "Amen" after he said this...
