Open Letter to Zimmerman

This video connects to what we have been learning in class just like the Trayvon Martin case has connected to what we have been learning in class. This video displays a man from Los Angeles who writes a very deep and meaningful letter to George Zimmerman. He shares his insight on how he feels that the struggles Zimmerman will face in the near future are very deserving and similar to how a black man is treated in our society. He talks about the disadvantages of being under privileged and how Zimmerman will now know what it feels like to be under privileged even after he recently used privilege to his advantage. I agree with the letter when he describes the things that the under privileged go through. I feel he points out a good connection between the under privileged and what Zimmerman will now go through. He then talks about the negative comments he has received for writing the letter. The negative comments he explains sounds very similar to what we have learned to be privilege techniques. He talks about how people continue to tell him stop making it a race issue and want to end the race conversation. This shows how people try and change subjects the same way a privilege person does when they feel threatened or guilty.
