It seems like everywhere you go someone wants to know your opinion of the verdict in the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman.

I know a damn Grand Hu$tle when I see one, and when Jay-Z just so happened to be named an “owner” of the New Jersey Nets a few years back, my Negro Antennae went up.
