Before Barack Obama won the nomination for President of the United States in November of 2007, the racial attitudes in this country for Blacks were, 'let's try to get along while we move forward at a steady pace.' Our goal was to steadily improve the education of our youth as well as improve our economic situation by gaining better employment and creating companies and therefore jobs and opportunities for ourselves. We planned to get involved with government and politics and make laws that were fair to all but specifically did not hinder us.
The goal was to define our culture and move it forward, as far away from slavery as we could. We also have to remember the effects of slavery, what it really is and what it did to us physically but especially mentally and culturally. This cultural 'Slavery Shock,' has continued within Blacks for generations. We wanted to know more about us, because we knew that our history did not start with slavery. We wanted to integrate into this society and be one with it, but we needed to express our own culture. 
For non-Blacks the attitude seemed to be, let's try to get along but let's maintain the status quo. Obviously, there are people on both extremes of that statement. A few were pushing hard to move the country quickly into the future where, 'we are one people, one nation,' and others who would try to turn back the hands of time because they 'wanted their country back.' Most were lackadaisical to this combining of the races while they move through life unaware of the true nature of the fusion of cultures, except of course when something pops up in the news such as the O.J. Trial or the Jena 6 situation.
Then a Black man, Barack Obama, out wits and out maneuvers the political status quo and becomes President of The United States. This changes everything in racial politics. The election to the office of POTUS by Barack Obama proves beyond doubt that a person of color can win any political office in this country, well, almost.
Before President Obama's full first day in office the racial opposition made plans to stop this forward movement and turn back the hands of time because they wanted their country back. A country where 99% of the Black people worked for white people. Presently, about 95% of Black people work for white people. The opposition thought that having a Black man as president, the percentages might improve for Black people. It appears that the country that they want back is the one just after slavery officially ended. This way they could claim the moral high ground of enlightenment while the ancestors of slaves continue wallowing in the mud of servitude.
The absolute political power and prowess of the white man took a massive blow with the election of Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton's parallel campaign actually did as much damage to the white man's power as did Barack Obama's. This was a double whammy against the existing political structure of this country.
On the home front, away from the political power and high money scene, the average citizens are finding that the same type games are being played. The status quo must be maintained. They want their country back. Blacks are seen as a lower class citizen and need to understand their position and stay in their place. That belief for the masses is probably subconscious. Subconscious or not, the percentages of Blacks working for whites must be maintained.
There are diversions put into place to keep us occupied and not cognizant of what is going on. We have some high level positions in business and local government but without power to make a difference. We are allowed to head highly visible social programs, but the plight of the needy never really change.
We have the appearance of political and financial gains, but it is all a delusion. Some Blacks think that the opportunities are equal or even that justice is equal. They are not. The educational system seems to feed Blacks to the private prison system. In a lot of instances, Blacks head those agencies. The illusions continue as the percentages and the status quo, both are maintained in order to keep 'their' country intact.
These actions create the appearance that things are getting better for Blacks. They are not. As mentioned before, the number of Blacks working for whites is about the same now as it was the day slavery officially ended.
Many whites believe that things are getting better for Blacks. Some think that if it is better for Blacks, then it is not good for them. There is this cultural bias where inherently every ethnic group has their own place in society. Blacks are consumers and not manufacturers. There is no need for them to own a company, only a job. Blacks have a servant attitude and can only handle the lower paying jobs. Blacks don't need much education so there is no need for schools in their neighborhoods. Blacks don't have a soul and they are violent people.
So this is the atmosphere and culture that George Zimmerman is in. He is losing his country. He wants his country back.
A few days after George Zimmernam killed Trayvon Martin I was on the Matt Englett Radio show talking about the murder. I was simply amazed at the backward logic of this attorney. Since then, I have realized that his logic is consistent as most people who want their country back. I had previously witnessed this same skewed logic during the days following the reading of the verdict of the O.J.Simpson murder trial. Nothing has changed in the 18 years since that trial. The attitudes are the same almost a generation later.
So, I want to thank George Zimmerman and President Barack Obama, for making this discussion relevant again. From the most powerful city in the land, to the small towns and cities like Sanford, Fl. , it is very obvious that the relationships between the races have not changed since the days of slavery. True feelings are hidden and there is a lot of work to do. We have got to communicate better, then maybe over the next generation this country can make some real change.
