Trayvon Martin is dead, and now the media is determined to kill off his character too. The 17-year-old Miami Gardens high school student was gunned down by a racist neighborhood watch vigilante on Feb. 26 in the town of Sanford, Florida.
His killer, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, claims self defense as the reason he pulled the trigger, ending Trayvon’s young life that cold, rainy night.
it doesn’t matter that Trayvon doesn’t have a criminal record — or that Zimmerman does.
What matters to the national media are a boy’s fascination with gold teeth, and the fact that he was suspended from school for 10 days for having marijuana residue in his book bag.
In its own inimitable way, the media has rushed to uncover the evidence to confirm Zimmerman’s stereotyped portrayal of the boy as a thug who deserved to be shot to death for swinging on him.
“Oh how little we have learned,” writes a conservative blogger who compares Trayvon’s story with the 2006 Duke LaCrosse case.
“The media is getting the Trayvon Martin story wrong,” Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote on BusinessInsider.com.
Here’s what we have learned so far: Zimmerman called the police 46 times in less than a year to report teenagers walking through his gated community. In all instances, it turned out that the teenagers did nothing to arouse Zimmerman’s suspicion other than to be black.
Trayvon, who was visiting his father whose fiancee lived in Zimmerman’s community, had the misfortune of also being a black teenager walking.
We know from the 911 tapes that Zimmerman pursued the teen — against the 911 dispatcher’s advice. And when Trayvon was confronted by Zimmerman, in the dark, behind the residences, Trayvon instantly lost his rights as an American citizen who was where he was supposed to be.
Zimmerman had a 9mm handgun, Trayvon had only his fists to protect himself. Both men had the shield of the Stand Your Ground law. But apparently, the law only applies to Zimmerman.
The shockingly biased Orlando Sentinel newspaper is asking us to believe that the 140 pound Trayvon “decked” the 200 pound gun-wielding Zimmerman “with one punch” and “climbed on top of [Zimmerman] and repeatedly slammed his head into the sidewalk — all while Zimmerman had a gun.
The Sentinel also reports that Zimmerman was left “bloody and battered” by Trayvon. Yet the first responding officer on the scene did not note any injuries on Zimmerman in his police report. Additionally, the witnesses who saw Zimmerman that night did not see any blood or injuries on him either.
You would think that if Zimmerman was a bloody mess, his injuries would have been among the first things the officer made note of in his report?
But none of that matters to a race-baiting media that is more concerned with selling newspapers and boosting TV ratings than seeking justice for a kid who was walking home with a bag of Skittles while minding his own business.

This is a damn shame.
I would really like to know what would have happened if the neighborhood watchman were black, approached a young white guy against the the advice of the 911 operator, and subsequently fought, shot and killed the young white guy, would the “Stand Your Ground” law be equally applied or would that black neighborhood watchmen be sitting in jail right now awaiting trial? Things that make you go hmmm…
@Jenie They are trying to say Zimmerman was screaming
This makes me
all OVER again this is that BS!!!!!!
His mother made me tear up all over again when she said they were trying to ruin her sons reputation. This reminds me of what they do to rape victims
Some guy was saying Zimmerman had every right to follow Trayvon and make a citizens arrest. And when Trayvon “defended himself” and had Zimmerman on the ground he should have gotten up and walked away. Because now they are saying Trayvon was getting the best of him. Not to mention the 100lb weight difference and the fact that Zimmerman had a gun, and “stalked” his prey. yet they are saying his actions were justified….
U know when I’m in a elevator with yt peeps at my job, and if they even look at me wrong, I swear I be on gaurd now to the fullest
I wish a Mofo would 
This is such a sad an unfortunate situation and the tactics that “they” are taking right now come as no surprise to me. First they tried to make him Hispanic to try and take some of the “sting” off of it. I guarantee he wasn’t “Hispanic” before he gunned this child. Ridiculous.
A defense attorney has to do what they have to do but it couldn’t be me…I don’t know how anybody could live with themselves defending this piece of shyt

:stop: dont no fat man scream like that
You know they is really tripping 
And dead or not, those gold teefs
It’s sht like this right here that makes me mad as hell. WTF is a 17 year old doing taking photos of stuff like that anyway?
It still doesn’t right the wrong that George Zimmerman did by not obeying dispatch command to not follow Trayvon. He still needs to pay.
I really do not understand what is taking so long to arrest this fool! It isn’t rocket science that he needs to be put behind bars. So aggravating!!!
This is straight bullshyt
trying to assasinate this young man’s character
Morning to all above
Sorry, Zimmerman don’t “look” Hispanic. Of course that don’t mean anything, but he don’t and like Roc said he probably won’t before this happened. Anyone remember Imitation of Life?
If he get off I dont wanna be no where near Florida, hell, I might take off that week
Cause its gone be sum shat 
He had no right to gun him down NO FCKING RIGHT
With Florida’s lax gun laws and abundance of “Conservatives” don’t be surprised if this happens again, but next time the media won’t be so quick to broadcast it.

@69…He is biracial. No one is disputing that he is in fact Hispanic. The issue is that he is bringing it up now to make it appear that he isn’t racist which is a joke in and of itself. Like there aren’t Hispanic people that don’t like Blacks. Hell half of us don’t even like one another.
I also note that people are bring up the black on white killings from 5-10 years ago asking why people aren’t rioting about those, my point is if you want to march, then go on ahead, you are entitled to according to the Constitution, but I don’t see Zimmerman walking away with anything but a pat on the back and a wave goodbye.
@69
I used to take gold gum wrappers and make a “grill” in HS as a joke. So did my friends. Does that make us thugs and hood rats? SMH at how “they” are really letting all the racism hang out. Would Zimmerman have called the police if it was some emo goth looking teen with black hair, trench coat, barrel earrings, extra piercings and boots?
Did any of you guys read what those racist folks were saying about many of the Hunger Games main characters being Black?

ANYWHOOOO, good morning Frenchie, RIDE or DIE, SASS, Breniqua, 69, Jenie, Flawless, Daisy, Ashland & Cariblife
BET showed a layout of the property and Zimmerman was harrassing this boy as soon as he walked through the gate. It was so so sad when they showed that he was likely running home since he was headed in that direction.
God bless his mother for being so strong. Not only does she have to deal with losing her son but now she has to watch people try and paint her son into a troubled kid.
@69
Gold grills are also considered a ‘fad’ or ‘trend’…he’s a kid, and kids do stuff like that…I don’t see what the problem is with those pictures…

_______________________________________________________________
I get what you’re saying but I hate the fact that the media has made it out to be a war on racism. The bigger picture here is justice. Everything else is secondary. George Zimmerman ignored orders and killed someone. Lock his ass up based on these two issues alone.

Okay, Okay…so Trayvon supposedly had weed residue and sported a FAKE gold grill. SO THEE FCK WHAT! Zimmerman assaulted a cop back in 2005, couldn’t get into the police academy and has issues following basic commands that we give 3 year olds, such as back off, do NOT continue to pursue…..SO WHAT THEY TRYNA SAY???
Ya know, I really didn’t think it was possible for me to get any angrier about this situation, however the more I hear the angrier I get.
Who cares if he was suspended for marijuana residue (if it’s true), it had nothing to do with what happened that night. Did the autopsy show it in his system? No, because if it had I’m sure the media would have already put it out there.
All I can do it

THEY REALLY NEED TO STOP TRYING TO USE THE HE WAS SUSPENDED EXCUSE. IF YOU TAKE A POLL I BET 93% OF ALL AMERICANS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED.
BRING YOUR BLACK FRIEND OUT OF THE SHADOWS TO TRY AND PROVE HE IS NOT RACIST. REALLY HIS FRIEND NEEDS TO ASK HIM WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THE HUNG OUT? TALK? SEEN EACH OTHER?
YOU BRING UP HIS GOLD TEETH, OK AN HELL I’M BORN AND RAISED IN CALIFORNIA I HAVE SEEN A FEW GOLD TEETH BACK HOME BUT WHEN I MOVED TO HOUSTON I WAS LIKE DANG FOLKS WALKING AROUND WITH A PAWN SHOP MOUTH.

Zimmerman account don’t really match up to what Trayvon girlfriend is saying. Zimmerman was making Trayvon look like a threat the whole time on the 911 call. He knew he was going to put an end to it(these asshole always get away). I bet Zimmerman wouldn’t have pursued Trayvon if he didn’t have a gun on him.
Good morning
I am still praying for Trayvon’s family to have strength through this hard time. Not only are they trying to get justice for Trayvon, but they are still grieving his death.

That is some ratchet sht to be doing though regardless. I’m sure that if you had pictures floating on the internet during your younger years, your parents would have done the same thing mines would have done: beat me from one end of the earth to the other. These “jokes” really aren’t jokes when you have the alabasters watching. Trayvon is a case in point. It’s sad but what can we do to right this? “They” have pictures of him looking like a thug. That “joke” isn’t funny anymore… Do you see where I’m going with this?
That’s just like Columbine and those trench coats. Now if ANYONE wears one people freak out. There are certain things that you can thank the criminals for adding the stigma to. Hoodies, those gold teefs, the trench coats, the list goes on…

Matt Lauer had no qualms about asking the Martin family did Trayvon have a “past” Why don’t they ask that token negro how he feel about his bestie being calling folks coons. On that note, Reuters is now saying that the token negro is basically a friend of one of Zimmerman’s family members. Interesting indeed.

I can’t….
I’m wondering the same thing looking at Tatted’s current gravi myself.
Zimmerman is not considered Jewish because his mom is not Jewish and they say the bloodline is passed through the mother. Not to get too deep but the scriptures state it is passed through the father so if his dad is Jewish then so is he…he is definitely Jewish….but I wouldn’t call him a Jew
-ish added onto a word means like the original, close, similar to. An example would be:
I just saw the most beautiful dress! It was a redish-orange hue. Obviously the dress is not completely red but similar. Same with Jewish and Jew. I would suggest history buffs read “The Thirteenth Tribe” by Arthur Koestler and “Illuminati 2: Deceit and Seduction by Henry Makow. Maybe you will believe it when it comes Jewish Historians…
Here it is:” Mr Oliver’s wife is a close friend of Mr Zimmerman’s mother in law, who told him Mr Zimmerman cried for days in remorse after the shooting. He also spoke directly with him on Saturday.”

Yes!!! I can’t believe they are talking that chit about only black people in the movie. That little girl doesn’t deserve to have them say
“Why did the producer make all the good characters black?”
“Why is Rue a little black girl? Stick to the book, dude,” said another.
In something of a spoiler tweet, another fan admitted he was “racist” when he learned of tragic Rue’s racial identity.
Another tweeter even uttered the “N” word in decrying adorable African-American actress Amandla Stenberg’s race.
“I’m still pissed that Rue is black,” wrote another.
“Ewwww rue is black?? I’m not watching,” another person wrote.
The Tumblr blog “Hunger Games” Tweets was first to decry the shocking, offensive trend. “The reactions are all based on feelings of disgust,” the blogger wrote. “These people are MAD that the girl that they cried over while reading the book was ‘some black girl’ all along. So now they’re angry. Wasted tears, wasted emotions. … This is a BIG problem.”

If the police wanted to make a move against Zimmerman and see that justice would be done..they would’ve done so already. If Zimmerman was Black and Trayvon was white….Zimmerman would be UNDER the jail by now.

Okay, how many of us have seen the profiles pictures of these young kids on Facebook, Twitter, and My Space they are all doing something outlandish and silly. Does that mean they are thugs or criminals? Just because he’s wearing some flea market gold teeth, automatically demonizes this child. If he did have weed at school, what the hell does it have to do with the night he died? This is why I’m constantly talking to my 14 year old…society will try to demonize you any way they can…even when you are simply being a kid. RIP Trayvon, and I that mofo is tortured by your image for the rest of his phucking life!
Dude lawyer talking about he mentoring black kid, okay and? Still don’t mean he don’t wear white sheet.
Are people REALLY saying that stuff about the characters in ‘The Hunger Games’???? My God this makes me so sad…..
*goes to weep for real*
@ ZoeZoe – RIGHT, he wanted to be a cop so damn bad, but his temperment was so DESTRUCTIVE, he assaulted one of the ppl he actually wanted to be! GTFOH before I slice some bacon of his back…FAT AZZ PIG!
@ Zoe…token black friend said he was saying “goons”

I had to use both emotes because we don’t have a “nukka please” emote and who the hail walks around saying goons outside of Plies?

I have no problem with castle laws when used CORRECTLY. This was not a valid excuse for stand your ground.
Tatted whats up
Good info H
When I saw that alleged “friend” on TV all I saw was damn, look who is trying so hard to pass, he hasn’t spoken to the man, all he has is third party conversations about things he’s heard and he is not even “friends” with Zimmerman, but still is trying to come to his defense?? Yeah I believe that :eyeroll:
I GUESS ZIMMERMAN IS GOING TO STAY IN HIDING FOR A LONG MINTUE. IF HE IS NOT SENT TO JAIL FOR A LONG TIME HE BETTER ACT LIKE HE HAS A GREEN CARD AND IT’S BEEN REVOKED AND GET GHOST.
SOMEONE JUST MIGHT REALLY BUST HIS ARSH IS THE FACE

I would suggest that we start preparing for riots…I can feel it coming. I hope not though because all hell will really break lose and we will be getting executed like those people did during Hurricane Katrina. Time to start getting extra supplies so I don’t have to leave my house. The PTB are loving this right now. They are probably

A New Orleans police officer was suspended for making statement like ‘live like a thug die like a thug’ online. He and his wife were making comments like that.

How do they manage to ALWAYS find these Uncle Tom, Karl Malone, shuckin and jiving azz niggas?????
It’s like they have a rolodez of these niggas that they can use whenever something like this happens.
Also, so what if Trayvon beat him up? Dude was following him. You either gone fight or flight. Zimmerman saying he retreated and Trayvon doubled back and followed him. Yet, the tapes and the upstanding neighbors tell a different story. The blond hair woman says that won’t no man screaming, it was a BABY. Another neighbor said he was holding Trayvon’s back and not assisting in helping. T
At this point jail IS the best place for him because if they see him he is a
man…. Believe that!
I wonder if the media is aware of this tid-bit of information (which shows that Georgie Porkie Zimmerscum is a mentally unstable and impulsive tub of lard):
“Zimmerman came to Florida to work with his godfather, but when he got here, he had run-ins with the law. In 2005, he was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer and obstructing justice. While he was fighting that case, his ex-fiancé accused him of domestic violence.
“He open smacked my mouth and asked how does it feel,” the fiancé told police once. Another time, the fiancé said, “He was sexually groping me and said he could because I was his woman.”

@ Sassy…did u find a dog yet? Girl..one time I had made steaks for dinner right? So I get up and go to the kitchen…when I came back why did my doggie have my steak on the floor..chowing down on it with NO SHAME??? LOL all I could do was laugh.

@Man, there are always going to be some people who hate who they are and just want to be accepted by them. Fluck that!

Unless folks stay in FL or absolutely HAVE to go to FL, don’t give your money to them until this matter is resolved. They don’t care about no black men. I hate to compare apples to oranges, but Vick got locked up for killing some mutts that were HIS!! Plaxico got locked up for shooting HIMSELF, that PETA chick was detained for flower bombing Kim Kratrashian, yet this COON was not even INVESTIGATED, DRUG TESTED, NADA.
@Whang
Still have a Havanese, Malti-poo and French Bulldog as my top 3 contenders!
The newer pic of zimmerman show him looking smaller. I am not a good judge of saying how much someone weighs, but he doesn’t look like that fat photo, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS!
We know that Trayvon was tall and had a thin build.
We know that the neighbors said they fought.
None of this would have happened if this fool didn’t not have his gun ready to be used. What the fukc was his objective?
In a fight, you win some you loose some, this is making me mad all over again.

Scopes Monkey Trial Revisited: Tennessee Is Still Officially Anti-Evolution As Science Education Bill Passes (VIDEO)
Monday evening, a new bill (SB 893) was approved by the Tennessee Senate that will protect teachers who wish to promote “alternate” scientific theories, essentially allowing anti-evolutionists and climate change deniers a voice in the science classroom. A similar version of the bill (HB 368) passed in the House about a year ago. Advocates of the bill claim that it improves academic freedom, while its critics see it as an open door to the promotion of pseudoscience and religious doctrine within the public school system.
I spoke with Josh Rosenau from the National Center for Science Education to better understand how this new law could impact the students of Tennessee, national views about science education, and the economic future of this country. Please see the video above and/or read the full transcript below for my commentary. And let your voice be heard.
We are fukcing done, ya hear me?

@Sandra…I agree, but I’m not surprised.
Where are the pictures of Zimmerman’s “injuries” to support his claim? And why did it take him this long to let the world know about it? Show me the reciepts!
The media did the same thing to Emmett Till…tried to compare Till to his dad who was sentenced to death for two rapes committed in Italy while in the army.. The media also painted Mrs. Till as a horrible mother for Sending Emmett to MS, for the summer.. I encourage everyone to read and research that Martin and Till are amongst thousands of black victims who have met similar fates.. Charlie Lang and Ernest Green look them up and see….

The second book is really up to date and along the lines of brainwashed. The thirteenth Tribe shows how the Jewish conversion took place and is very detailed. start with the story of Esau and Jacob….why is it the description of Esau was so important? It's because he didn't look like anyone else…his mother was told she would give birth to two nations and the elder would serve the younger…to this day who is extremely hairy, who loves the outdoors(hunting and camping), who eats their meat not fully cooked, etc? when Moses was on the mount and the Lord turned his hand white as snow would that have mattered to a person with white skin already? Leprosy meant they were turned white as snow. Moses passed for an Egyptian. It's well known they were a dark skinned race…so maybe just maybe there has been a switcharoo in history. You do the research on your own and decide…

OH Good morning Everybody!
smmfh..that fat slob Zimmerman was in fear for his life…gimme a friggin break. What alleged “victim” chases his alleged attacker down???
To all the legal eagles out there…can’t Trayvon’s family file a wrongful death lawsuit against that racist roach Zimmerman?
It doesn’t matter that Trayvon wore gold fronts, got caught with weed residue in his backpack, or the fact that he and Zimmerman likely got into a physical altercation before he was killed. What matters is that Zimmerman went against the 911 dispatcher’s orders and took it upon himself to go after an unarmed teen and ultimately killed him. That’s why Zimmeran needs to be arrested NOW!
With all that said, too many folks in the black community have selective outrage about these type of crimes–and a lot of it has to do with media coverage. Unfortunately Trayvon is NOT the first innocent black youth to be murdered in his own neighborhood nor will he be the last. But the media will only sensationalize stories of non-blacks killing African-Americans. They won’t give nearly this much attention to black on black crime that happens everyday. There are Trayvons being murdered in our streets on a daily basis but we as black people are only likely to rally, demonstrate, and demand justice (on a national scale) when the killer is white, jew, Hispanic, etc.
Back in February, a 9-month-old boy was killed when a gunman fired more than three dozen bullets from an AK47 into his home on Detroit’s west side. That boy was just as innocent as Trayvon but yet there was no national outrage, protests, or demands that his killers receive justice.

I’m getting more disgusted by the minute… It appears they’re planting fake witnesses for Zimmerman. So what if he had 420 residue in his bag. So what if he had a tool often used for burglary in his bag once… Doesn’t mean he it is as such since he had a squeaky clean record. So what if he had gold teeth… Does any of that mean he should get shot for having skittles and a 99¢ iced tea… It’s ridiculous that people dont believe the “stand your ground” law doesn’t apply to young black men with hoodies armed with skittles and iced tea.
Mzwhang, GM & I believe that you can sue Everybody in a civil case. I’m no expert on it though. But I think you can sue him, the police, gun manufactureer, gun store, etc.

This tragedy has changed the way I view things. Every single day since I heard the story, I can’t look at my son the same. I’ve pretty much trusted him in doing the right thing and making good choices, but I found myself hesistant to let him go to the mall over the weekend with his friends. I don’t see how people can be so insensitive when a young man was killed for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong color skin.
I am probably going to get pelted for this.. However blacks can be racist too…. It’s become sociably acceptable to call each other niggas… And black on black crimes happen way more than white on black or hate crimes… If Zimmerman would of been a black dude and had mumbled f’ing niggas… We would not even know of this crime… Zimmerman was a gun toting police reject who was trigger happy… The media has made this a black and white issue… Race may be a factor when it comes to the shabby police dept and sucky investigation.. But it’s in my opinion that Zimmerman would shot Trayvon If he was Asian, Spanish, white, black etc… He was waiting on an excuse to look like a hero …
What gets me is even if you remove the skin color from the equation an innocent child was still murdered! If Trayvon was white it would still be a tragedy. A child was hunted and stalked like wild game and killed.

My honest opinion is give the yt folks back all their stuff, you can’t kill them weapons, nor with your words, but you can destroy them in their pockets, Black people give it back. it’s my opinion, cause i cant take this stuff anymore
I truly believe that if this matter is not resolved expeditiously and fairly….folks gon set Florida on fire!

*just gonna stand here and watch me buuuuuurn*
The Stand Your Ground Law is just a way to legalize murder for people you don’t like, there was a story where a retired cop shot his neighbor 2x, because the neighbor had 2 extra bags of trash that he put out. The neighbor went on the cop’s property to confront him about it. Ex-cop got off free as a bird because of this law, a few weeks later, the depressed brother was about to commit suicide and the po po barged in and shot him to death, they feared for their life too allegedly. Lesson: Don’t bring a knife or some fists to a gun fight in Florida.

:hugs: @JMO
I only heard those tapes one time and that voice sounded like that of a child….if Zimmerman sounds like that I want to hear him talk!
Lawrence O’Donnell also had the reporter that rec’d the leaked info from the police. That’s her job! She is the journalist that “leaks police info”. Only in America….
Damn Shame.
@ Amatrex, I get what you’re saying, but as you said, every tragedy isn’t covered nationally. But if the shooter wasn’t even arrested, then it becomes national coverage. My thing is I feel like a jury or judge needs to decide whether or not Zimmerman shot him in self defense, that’s where the outrage comes from, not from him being yt and Trayvon being black, but if Trayvon was a black neighborhood watchmen and Zimmerman was the teenager, clearly Trayvon would have been in jail until, a judge or jury said it was self defense.
I will say this. We should not BE SURPRISE when Zimmerman walk free… I say that because the evidence that could have been used to convict Zimmerman was never collected and is now lost… i.e. gun, clothes, no photos taken of suspect etc. Also the Sanford Police dept had access to Trayvon’s body for 3 days before anyone knew Trayvon was dead. They had time to tamper with his body, autopsy etc… I live in FL and Sanford is known for cover ups. If the family pursue a civil case and win this can possibly bankrupt that dept… Therefore, they will do whatever to make sure Zimmerman is not convicted. Also there is a 911 tape of Trayvon that night and Zimmerman can be heard in the background. Forensics are trying to determine what he was saying… But once again I strongly believe Zimmerman will walk and racial tension will rise and this can sway this years election…. MARK MY WORKS. IT’S UGLY HERE IN FLORIDA AND FLORIDA IS A SWING STATE.
@Sir
I definitely agree, you know how I feel about this race stuff from my posts…I don’t like the rebel rousing either, but I know that there is always a mirror organization that’s ready to get it cracking…there are white hate groups just ready to go toe to toe with the new black panthers… in the meantime innocent folks who aren’t even on that shyt will be the main victims IMHO…
I found this online. It’s an awesome story from a Alabaster Mom…..
it’s long, but so worth the read….
by Erin Kotecki Vest: My son wears a hoodie every single day to school. He covers his head faithfully and rarely hears friends say hello as we walk inside or adults saying good morning as he tends to be lost in his own world, muffled by the hoodie around his ears.
My son would do anything for his little sister and happily get her candy. He would even question any adult questioning him for no reason- as we have taught him to stand up for himself, speak out for what is right, and question authority. He would run from strangers. He would, however, feel safe with a police office.
I think.
My son, however, can do all of these things without fear. He is white. He ‘belongs’ in that suburb. He looks like every other white kid in the area and a ‘neighborhood watch captain’ would easily dismiss his walking down the street as a normal, every day occurrence. As would a police officer. As would the community.
As a white mother to a white son, I’ve never had to explain to him what he should and should not do when confronted by police. I’ve never had to talk with him about how the world views him or prayed he wouldn’t be next.
Yet we live in a world where people deny racial issues still exist. They do not even understand white privilege. They actively cry ‘reverse racism’ as if they are the victim. They even have the nerve to call those who fight for racial equality ‘race baiters,’ ’racers’ and have attempted to spin and twist and re-write history as if THEY have lost out because Americans owned slaves and those slaves were oppressed for generations, after which they were then oppressed under Jim Crow and then under the institutionalized racism that continues to permeate our culture today.
Yet these NON ‘of color’ victims’ have started a very dangerous trend, a very risky trend, a very uninformed and downright stupid trend that has them looking like very scared white folk, realizing their hold over the majority-and power-is slipping.
You see, as ‘one of you’ I get to hear all about it from family and friends and neighbors and others who seem to think that just because I am white I ‘understand’ what they mean when they say ‘our neighborhood is changing’ and ‘that school has too many kids who don’t speak like our kids’ or ‘you know the high school only recruited him because he can play ball.’
Then there are the comments on blogs and national media calling the NAACP racist, the United Negro College Fund racist, and those who support our President racist because we have the nerve to notice these overwhelmingly white people are angry and saying things and doing things they would NEVER do if the man occupying the oval office were caucasian.
They say all these things while innocent children, carrying candy in a suburb, are shot for walking down the street while black. As Jackie Summers writes,
“This isn’t some fresh new hell; it’s torn open old wounds most would prefer to believe have healed.
The concept that you are suspicious.
The concept that you have to justify where you are and what you’re doing.
The concept that there are people who are so afraid of you, they feel they’re protecting themselves and others, by killing you, even if you’re unarmed.
The concept that those charged with law can show up, knowing exactly what happened, and choose not to uphold it.
The concept that it requires a national outrage to incite justice.
The concept that there are those who would vociferously defend the murderer out of one corner of their mouths, and accuse the murdered from the other.
For no other reason than the color of your skin.”
Yet if you were to read a Right Wing blog today, you would think THEY were the victim or horrible racial attacks. The last I checked, white children like mine, even in hoodies, even walking in a suburb with candy, were not being shot for walking while white.
It is far from time for the white, right-wing to drop this act of victimhood in the American stories of racial inequality. It is embarrassing. It is ignorant. It is offensive.
Trayvon is not the first black child to die, he will not be the last. We owe it to every child to move the discussion on race FORWARD. Forward means NOT back to eras that have long past and have long ago put an indelible mark of hatred and evil on our nation that some on the right seem to think have been made up for, erased, or should be at the very least whitewashed, refusing to feel guilt for something they had nothing to do with. I don’t feel guilt as a white liberal, I feel anger. I feel anger that some conservatives say they see no color, claim to operate on an even playing field, and refuse to even discuss racial implications in any debate for fear they will have to be honest with themselves, our history, and the glaringly obvious fact we have NOT come as far as we would like to think.
We owe it to children of color to know the world MY children have grown up knowing. Where they don’t need to be told that they have to make allowances for other people’s racism because …’That’s part of the burden of being black. We can be defiant and dead or smart and alive.”
It is time to change the conversation, and it starts with the adults. I have no right to send my son to school tomorrow morning in his hoodie without fear, when so many other mothers will be sending their sons off wondering if they will ever come home.

Cheeks, I was out of the country during Nov 2010 election, but you best believe I early voted. If people knew better, they would do better, so now let’s see how 2014 goes.
If you vote for :obama: PLEASE vote in all elections, if not it’s senseless. #nooffense #butthataintmyfaulteither!
If Zimmerman walks free it will be 1992 all over again with a 2012 swing!
in this, i see YT vs. blacks AND blacks vs. blacks. people are just talking all kinds of shyt. the longer the days are, the more emotional people are getting. and it’s getting hotter. people’s eyes and hearts and minds are suddenly opened now.
if one more stupid azz cop pulls the trigger on an unarmed black, it’s gonna blow.
if one more dumb azz black with dreds, grills, hoodie, and pants sagging to his azz shoots an innocent YT, it’s gonna blow.
if one more YT assaults or shoots a black male, it’s gonna blow.
i don’t see this ending peacefully because it’s so amped up right now. and if zimmerman walks, the shootings will commence. it’s gonna go down one way or the other.
@Lace
I agree he was trying to look like a hero, but what about the past calls to 911 that all pertained to black males? Clearly, he has a pattern of racial profiling. If the calls would have been for blacks, hispanics, asians, etc I would agree, but he was targeting someone he thought no one would care about. He thought it would not be a big deal and he would get accolades instead of hate mail and threats.
Let’s face it people. Our black men have become the poster boys for all that is bad. Media has done a great job of perpetuating the stereotype of our men being abusive, aggressive, sexually insatiable, morally bankrupt human beings. We are looking at them on an invisible Wanted poster that says Dead or Alive (jail). If more of our men stood up and came together it would rock TPTB world to the core so they make sure to keep us distracted with gaudy jewels, Kim K, Amber Rose, Kat stacks, Super Head, drugs, etc. We need to get back to a time when we took pride in ourselves and hold ourselves to a higher standard. We come from royalty and should act as such.
ALSO that Uncle Tom who is coming to the defense of Zimmerman is not a fool… He used to be a journalist and is evident he is making his rounds auditioning to get back in journalism. Also that fool does not even identify with blacks.. His wife is a banana boat refugee.
Good Mornting All someone just post this on my facebook about Zimmerman
“Just learned this information about George Zimmerman. Now I see why he hasn’t been arrested: According to court records George Zimmerman is the son of retired Supreme Court Magistrate Judge Robert J Zimmerman, his mother Gladys Zimmerman is a court clerk….He has three closed arrests 7/18/05 for resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer div 10…8/9/05 for domestic violence div 44…And again on 8/10/05 domestic violence div 46! Why isn’t this on the NEWS? While Fox, Geraldo Rivera & other outlets have started a Trayvon Martin smear campaign?! Just sickens me”
I want SR to post Sinead O’Connor letter to America
I am probably going to get pelted for this.. However blacks can be racist too…. It’s become sociably acceptable to call each other niggas… And black on black crimes happen way more than white on black or hate crimes… If Zimmerman would of been a black dude and had mumbled f’ing niggas… We would not even know of this crime… Zimmerman was a gun toting police reject who was trigger happy… The media has made this a black and white issue… Race may be a factor when it comes to the shabby police dept and sucky investigation.. But it’s in my opinion that Zimmerman would shot Trayvon If he was Asian, Spanish, white, black etc… He was waiting on an excuse to look like a hero …

I definitely agree, you know how I feel about this race stuff from my posts…I don’t like the rebel rousing either, but I know that there is always a mirror organization that’s ready to get it cracking…there are white hate groups just ready to go toe to toe with the new black panthers… in the meantime innocent folks who aren’t even on that shyt will be the main victims IMHO…

This shait could get outta hand in a minute.
I’ve been feeling uneasy about how this case was being portrayed in the media since about day one. It bothers me to no end that the media keeps using old pictures of Trayvon in what appears to be an attempt to portray him as a poor innocent lamb. They kept harping on him being 140 lbs and it wasn’t until this week that it was revealed that he was 6’3. I read stories that said he was an honor roll student who majored in giggles. WTF? The boy was 17 years old. A normal 17 year old, not some angelic eternally 12 year old looking bible thumper. Yes he had an idiotic Twitter name and is friends with other teens that are so ignorant that they would express a desire to procure the chronic from him on FB and another who continues to shout him out on Twitter with a profile pick of him hitting a blunt. So the f*ck what!!! That’s some everyday stupid teenager shat. I had to delete the majority of my teenaged friends from FB because I was tired of seeing their dumb shat posted. Pictures of their young azzes drinking 40s and cursing up a storm and cyber bullying. These are kids headed to and in college and or the military. So what. That still gave that man no right to racially profile, follow and confront that child who was doing nothing but walking home at the time.
They can say what they want about Trayvon. The movement will continue muthaf*ckas…..
This really explains why his ass aint locked up yet!!! I
someone off him
Father god please forgive me!!!

According to the FBI Treyvon made a 911 call right before he died and that recording has Zimmerman’s voice on it in the background.
I also have to speak on the so-called rash of break-ins in the neighborhood. How in the hail do they know that they were being committed by young blacks? Seems to me that busybody George with questionable employment may have been committing them himself.

@Roc not necessarily and even if he would of been arrested it would of added to the countless numbers of black on black crimes.. Not fooling myself.. I’m a trained historian with an expertise in African American History… Zimmerman is clearly a minority.. Like I said the police dept should be investigated for the it’s negligence and racial profiling …

I have to further state that I think race tensions are raging not only because of Zimmerman, but because of the apparent cover-up and protection of him throughout this entire ordeal…that is what has me stirred up…I couldn’t care less what race Zimmerman is or if he’s considered a minority or whatever…he had his good ol’ boys helping him out with this and that is very obvious…this matter was not handled properly and that in and of itself shows racial bias and white privilege…

Your right and This will be thrown under the rug with everything else…
I’m disappointed in the way this case is turning out. At 17, I wanted a gold grill and I’m definitely not a thug. Trayvon Martin was not the hoodie he wore or the grill in his mouth. Geraldo’s statement made me want to rip his throat out (I got made all over again). This was an impressionable 17 y/o with his whole life ahead of him. Pop-culture has a huge influence on the way we dress. Hoodies and grills are worn in almost every music video on 106&Park.
The media’s attack on Trayvon’s character doesn’t surprise me. This is what they do. They build you up and knock you down. It’s unfortunate because no parent should have to defend the character of their slain son by an armed vigilante while trying to grieve their loss.
Florida has already let “tot-mom” get away with murder, now this bull. Something needs to change.

@ Auntie…Come get your people (The Repubs) *from Bossip
Rush Limbaugh stepped into the firestorm surrounding Trayvon Martin again this afternoon, this time to accuse President Barack Obama of using the shooting of the unarmed Florida teen as a “political opportunity.”:
The conservative talk show host devoted a portion of his radio show today to attacking Obama and other “liberals” for racializing Martin’s death, and hit the President for saying that if he had a son “he’d look like Trayvon.”
“This poor kid was shot, and the president of the United States’ only public reaction is: “If I had a son, he’d look like” that?” Limbaugh said. “For what purpose does one say that? And what must you be thinking about this situation, to think that and then say it? The questions answer themselves, obviously.”
He also slammed Obama for not coming out against the New Black Panther party, which has issued a $10,000 bounty for the capture of Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman.
From the show’s transcript:
I do not understand the President of the United States not saying anything when a group of citizens issues a bounty for another citizen in the United States of America. The president or his Justice Department don’t even seem interested in that. And then when this young kid gets shot in Sanford, Florida, the reaction is: If I had a son he would look like me? Sorry. That’s the last thing that ever occurs to me when somebody gets shot. When somebody’s murdered, the last thing that matters is that they look like me. It doesn’t compute. But the left, they see things like this purely as surface matters. These are political opportunities for these people. That’s the sad thing about this. Here you have the death of a American citizen that’s seen as a political opportunity.
There’s no humanity in that.

U have to be the example in your home your child need to see her mother so she know how to carry herself, I am so thankful that my daughter say in the way she did, cause she truned out a really good daughter and i am proud of. 
Wow, Limbaugh is CLEARLY missing the point.. smh. His ignorance doesn’t even rile me up bc he’s just saying whatever he can to boost his own ratings. Even Romney & Santorum nominees acknowledged the peculiarity of the situation.
H, I tell him now “don’t you bring me no dumb gf” she better be one smart cookie and she better know how to shake a hand and hold a conversation.
As much work as I put in to him, and he puts into himself, to even be attracted to a fast azz=that is unacceptable! I tell him now that I want him to meet and marry a woman whose parents thought so so much of her that they provided her with just as much if not more than I am providing for you. Money has nothing to do with it either! But (no offense) some parents are doing sooo much of a disservice to their children by letting society determine who and what they are becoming.
Shoot I’m trying my hardest to raise a successful, smart empathic man
I truly believe that if this matter is not resolved expeditiously and fairly….folks gon set Florida on fire!

I said that last week. Its going to be Rosewood all over again instead we are on the opposite end. This shyt is not going to end well at all and it will be way worse than the LA riots.
As thrown off as the New Black Panther Party may be, I get it. And I somewhat agree with it.
Folsk get tired of waiting for years and years and decades and half-centuries for “justice” and “equality” that many will like to proclaim is THERE in our fces but we just haven’t seen it yet.
It’s bullsh*t. At some point, at some juncture, at some part of the fight, the lamb is GOING to decide to fight back for its wool. This is what you see happening now. Is it ever pretty? No. Is it ever morally astute? No. Is it ever the route of less injury? No. But it IS the truth.
I personally would rather support the group tht is willing to put a prive on someone’s capture that was CLEARLY a vigilante, heartless child-murderer, then bet all my money on a system that has failed us without pause for so many decades before, has failed as as far as this case is concerned, and is looking to undoubtedly looking to fail us again.
Whether by the NBPP executing this bounty, or Zimmerman never being apprehended and charged, the VIOLENCE is going to happen. The ANGER is going to thrive. And the listlessness is going to take place.
Folks are tired of sitting around singing “Kum-ba-ya” and “can’t we all just get along” and “no justice, no peace” without ever seeing any results. What the NBPP are offering to do is put their words in action….if there is no justice, there will truly be no peace. It’s not just a slogan.
I’m for it. Honestly.

You have me on the fence. As much as I want an eye-for-an-eye, I want the community to take the higer road and make a peaceful statement. However, your point is proven by history itself. Our country wouldn’t even be this way if it wasn’t for the civil war and people who refused to accept the “law.” And I think with the way the judicial system works now, the NBP might really be the only ones to make the most impact.

@Sass and Cookie
It’s a catch 22 for “us” no matter what. If Zimmerman walks we see how worthless our lives are and it’s open season to kill us. We riot and become public enemy number 1. No matter what we look like the “animals” they think of us already. I think a riot would cause more of a problem for all races. Whether people realize it or not “they are afraid of our men! Especially ones who will die for what they believe in. You can kill a person, but you can’t kill an idea…they are afraid we will come on one accord and have the same ideals…
Can’t believe some folks on here talking about a Race War and sh!t. Really?
Even if we could unite every black person in the U.S. (13% of the population) to fight in a race war, what would it accomplish in the end?

@Amatrex
We are not the minority. The African Diaspora doesn’t just include Blacks. When you count our brown skinned sisters and brothers we have BEEN the Majority. That’s partially why I think they are hammering in the fact that Zimmerman is Hispanic. It is to keep us apart, because if we unite we wield oh so much power financially and otherwise. I know there are people on here who spew hate to Hispanics, but the truth is they are from the same place as you and I if you are Black. the struggle just landed them in different parts of the world. It’s already been proven by DNA that we share more in common with the Caucasians than the Africans. Esau and Jacob were brothers. The Northern tribes of Israel ( the name Jacob received after he wrestled with an angel) are you Dominicans, North American Indians, Mexicans, etc while the Southern tribes called Judah are you West Indians, Hatians, and Blacks in the US. Judah is the king tribe and when Judah stands up the others will follow. Just look at the Watts riots for proof. Go look at Deuteronomy Chapter 28 and start at verse 15 and see if that describes the Jewish or Your own sisters and brothers. It’s established that the children of Israel disobeyed and they were to suffer curses. Owning 99% of the world’s wealth is the best curse ever! /sarcasm. It’s actually much bigger than race.
Ephesians 6:12 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
You can kill a person, but you can’t kill an idea…they are afraid we will come on one accord and have the same ideals…

That would explain the desperate attempts at racism to keep us down.
Let me type this…..
I’m ready to go to war!
Heaven forbid a Black person perceives a white person as a threat. I bet if Trayvon had been larger in size, zimmerman would have kept his ass in the car and fallen back to wait for the police. Instead,, Trayvon fought back and started kicking ass in the exact manner I trained my daughter if she is in a struggle for her life. Go for the nose with all your might then make sure they’re down with a few more blows to the head and run for your life.
This case sickens me to no end.
Trayvon Martin was not a thug he was a teenage kid. Children see things on TV and they want to imitate what they see. That doesn’t make them a thug it makes them a kid. What thug do you know goes to the store and only buys skittles and tea? I know a lot of thugs and none of them is armed with skittles and tea. I have been following this case since it broke, praying and protesting. I have a son not to much younger than Trayvon. My son lives in his hoodie jacket especially in this time of year and he is the furthest thing from a thug. The biggest thing on his mind from a day to day basis is who he’s gonna get the new video game system that just came out. The Trayvon is a horrible senseless tradegy.
