We’ve Come A Long Way?

Anyone (or any group of justices — yeah, I mean you, SCOTUS) who thinks we have come a long way in terms of race just needs to turn the comments section of any local newspaper on any article dealing with Zimmerman/Martin.

No, we still live in a racist cesspool.

Hayward: Woman allegedly attacks 73-year-old musician on stage after song dedicated to Trayvon Martin

HAYWARD — A woman was arrested Saturday after allegedly jumping on stage at a music festival and attacking a legendary musician after he dedicated a song to Trayvon Martin, according to police and eyewitnesses.

The woman, who police identified as 43-year-old Dinalynn Andrews Potter of Barstow, apparently yelled, "it's all your fault" before shoving 73-year-old Lester Chambers, his family said Sunday.

"She had a crazed look in her eye," said Kurt Kangas, a friend of Chambers who ran to his aid. "I saw the devil there."

Chambers was performing at the Hayward Russell City Blues Festival downtown when around 5:15 p.m. he dedicated Curtis Mayfield's hit "People Get Ready" to Martin, the 17-year-old shot and killed by George Zimmerman.

A Florida jury acquitted Zimmerman on all charges Saturday.
