The Cabin Is Getting Full

One enlightening thing about peering into the Sanford, Florida lack of investigation of
Trayvon Martin's murder is that we are finding how small Uncle Tom's Cabin has become.
It nearly filled to overflowing during the Bush administrations of 2000, and 2004. Those
attempting to crowd in at the start of the millennium were so proud to be getting in there.
Now that a young unarmed teenager has been gunned down in the south, we have seen so many
more wanting a place in the cabin. It must be that way all over our country, people everywhere,
desperate to get a place in one of those rooms.
Someone is going to have to write a sequel...Uncle Tom's Two Story Colonial. Not all black people
in our country have our North American African ancestry. Yet, they seem anxious to get into the
cabin as well.
