Unfriending Facebook Friends

   I have more Facebook friends than I actually have in real life. After the Trayvon verdict was read I cried. I was surprised that I cried, because I had a feeling the verdict would read "not guilty" with how the case was poorly presented. But the emotions were too strong to hold inside.Therefore, I decided to take action by signing the NAACP petition and sharing it on Facebook for those to read and sign as well.

   Well, I couldn't help but to scroll down and see what everybody's  reaction was  to the verdict. Well I scrolled down to a girl  I used to hang out with in high school, who I remember as kind of a funny person. She posted #teamzimmerman on her timeline! She even got 28 likes for it, which is saddening. I was flabbergasted that someone would post such an insensitive thing. I know she is white but that doesn't mean you have the incapability to not post such a horrendous thing even if you believe it!  Then and there I just wanted to delete my facebook, because she wasn't the only one who thought Zimmerman had the right to kill an unarmed teenage boy. Instead I commented on her post to tell her why there was no justice in this trial, but I learned a valuablue lesson: Don't argue with fools!

 Here are the captions of the mess: The girl is in black everyone else is in red. 

                                        

My last comment (The rest of it said God Bless you)! 

   She proceeded to say that her niece is half black causing her niece to be considered only black, and that same equation applies to Zimmerman thanks to the one drop rule used in slavery . Thankfully, other Hispanics posted that Latinos can be racist to black people making it definitely a race issue, but she continued on with her ignorance, and I realised that this argument was pointless. Consequently, I  unfriended her and anyone else that had agreed with her. It was hard knowing that someone I had joked, hung around, and had a sleepover with was this person, but I thank God I know now so I can cut her out.

   We tend to keep Facebook friends even though we haven't talked to them in ages I guess to compete with who's more popular. That's why I am seriously thinking of just deleting it. I mean maybe I'll need it for networking, but for what else? I don't really care about where they're vacationing at, or who broke up with who? I'm not in high school anymore.
