All in the Family of Man and the Trayvon Martin shooting - the more things change the more some things stay the same

My blogging colleague Laci reminded me of this old All in the Family episode in the context of the Trayvon Martin shooting, where there are shaprly differing versions of events. It perhaps illustrates both how far we have come, and how far some people still haven't come, as well as being an excellent 'point of view' episode to illustrate how we filter events through our own biases - and we all have them to some degree.


And just because it also applies, I'm throwing in an episode from season 3, September 16, 1972, 'the Editorial'.
