She let her REAL thoughts be known on the TODAY show a few weeks ago. The media, eager to continue the Obama/Sharpton Lynch Mob meme, won't remind Americans of Sybrina's true point of view.

Also, no word on whether the media is curious as to whether Trayvon was responsible for his own demise...just more deception being told to black churches and communities.

The most “racially profiled” person in this whole story is George Zimmerman. The MSM and the “reverends” contended that poor Trayvon was chased by a white guy with a gun because Trayvon was black and then shot in the back.

NOOOOOO. George wasn’t white and Trayvon was watched because he was acting like a criminal. The shooting looks like it was self-defense. George Zimmerman was put in a box for his skin and color and “whoopsie” it was the wrong box.

Full and hearty approval for... what?

Affirming victimhood?
Justifying hatred of the “pale”?

Her son was not racially profiled in the least. Zimmerman was trying to ascertain for police where this suspicious person was.

He was not chasing him in the end, and was only capable of tryiong to follow him. Once Martin eluded him, he gat the address and headed back to his car where he was confronted and assaulted by Trevon.

Trevon was a big kid, and I’m sorry, Zimmerman does not look like the type to start an altercation...he was winded from just trying to follow the guy.

Nop, Trevon started it, and kept it up, trying to beat Zimmerman’s head against the walk until Martin finally felt he had to shoot or die.

The outrage of the blatant attempts by the press and leftists to use this tragedy as a spring board are appalling...particularly in the way they are using this grieving mother.

The evidence is coming out now, and it clear that Zimmerman, IMHO, acted in self-defense.

“Fulton told reporters that she’s making such trips not just for her son, but for other young people who might be victims of racial profiling.”

And just who is paying for these racist trips..More than likely the tax payers of America since I am almost sure Obama and his criminal thugs are using this and you to keep the blacks that are ignorant to anything except getting even with whitey..

Go home woman when they are finished with you they will throw you under the bus..

If she knew she was going to get so much attention and prosper so well over St. Trayvon’s death she would have strangled him herself years ago.

This woman will be used by the left as long as it profits them. She will be old news as soon as this case is old news. Remember how quickly they dumped Cidy Shehan?

Must demonize others so that the self doesn't seem so bad... is a common human trait. But when a class of human society combines together to demonize another class of society, the effects can be calamitous; The Holocaust and modern day Islamic Extremism/ Terrorism are prime examples.

Unfortunately, these same forces are at work within the fabric of "American Society". It is this: whites are to blame for the general lack and poor condition of blacks in America. A demonizing of whites is in full swing. So much so that it is not only becoming unpopular, but unsafe to be white in America. The scary thing is, if there were enough of the population that held these views of whites, something akin to Nazi Germany's "The Final Solution" is conceivable. Not possible you say... history is replete with human calamity... never think, "it can't happen here"...

Cindy Sheehan, move over. The spotlight is shining on a new opportunist.

I was just in Baltimore over the weekend. Northeast, to be precise. I saw block after block of boarded-up and burned-out houses. No people, no functional cars, nothing green. Even most of the road signs were missing. The occasional open store sold nothing but liquor and lottery tickets. The only sign of life I saw were a few street people and a handful of roughs wearing hoodies and puffer jackets, already loudly arguing and shoving each other at 9:30 in the morning.

Needless to say, I did not stop once, not even for stop signs. I wouldn't go in there at night without a couple squads of infantry.

Racial profiling is far from the worst problem that blacks face in Baltimore.

Reasonable suspicion, however, is not racial profiling.

She is certainly capitalizing on her son’s death. I bet she thought she’d never make a buck off of his sorry butt.
