Trayvon Martin's mom: Whites don't get it
The Orlando Sentinel's TV Guy Blog ^ | December 13, 2014 | Hal Boedeker

Posted on 12/13/2014 5:08:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, says whites do not understand the protests about the deaths of young black men.

CNN's Anderson Cooper cited polls that reveal white people do not view the issue the same way as black people.

"It's not happening to them, so they don't quite get it," Fulton told Cooper in an interview that aired Friday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." "They don't quite understand. They think that it's a small group of African-Americans that's complaining: 'Oh, what are they complaining about now?'"

Cooper asked: "You hear that from people?"

"Oh yeah," Fulton said. "The people say that all the time, 'What are they complaining about now? What are they protesting about now?'"(continued)

Trayvon was UNARMED! George Zimmerman didn’t play FAIR! There is an insurmountable culture gap here, with centuries of civilization as the divider.

Blacks don’t get it—being black doesn’t give you the right to break the laws and do whatever you like. Dr. King is rolling over in his grave—this isn’t what he fought and died for.

No dear.. you dont get it.. up till Zimmerman pulled the trigger.. your son was beating down a man that had done NOTHING to your son other then look at him..

So you seem to think the people are disposed to take a random beat down from your son or without fighting back?

Which Mom? The mom that gave birth to him? The mom that got all the media attention? Or the mom who’s house he and his dad were staying in located in Zimmermans neighborhood?

Just like Mike Brown’s Dad, and which grandma got beaten up by his mother....its complicated

I have no use whatsoever for these “moms” and “dads” who come out of the woodwork to parade their grievances about their dead children after they spent most of their lives avoiding their responsibilities to care for them.

If your kid is out all hours of the night he is going to get “it”.
If he robs businessess he is going to get “it”.

My white son does not get it, because he is getting a
decent nights rest, he and has a healthy fear of the
Lord, and his Dad.

It’s not because he is white.

Yep, I don’t get why anyone thinks they can reach inside a cop car, fight with a cop for the cop’s own gun, and then expect nothing to happen. Nor do I understand why a kid who doubles back to attack a neighbor watch member would be surprised at the neighbor watch guy fighting back.

So, I don’t get it.

I also don’t get why I don’t get credit for knowing that “loose cigarettes” is a dumb reason for a policemen to escalate a confrontation all the way to lethal force.

These people don’t care about their kids until something tragic happens to them and then only as a way to make money.

Its awful what happened to her son, losing his life.

But there are some serious issues on the table in the lives of the Trayvon Martin’s and Michael Brown’s of the world....

Drugs in particular with drug addiction and the denial by family members that their loved ones are drug addicts, alcoholics etc. etc.

I’m afraid there’s something that she and millions of other people of all races don’t get.

Addicts end up getting in conflict with other people and the law and sometimes the consequences can be fatal.

They can’t see past the ends of their racist noses.

Whites don’t only have the same types of experiences with law enforcement when they are stupid enough to rob stores, attack policemen and resist arrest.

Whites also have gangs of racist black YOOTS shooting us, raping our daughters, wives, mothers and 90 year old grandmothers, beating us to death with hammers and terrorizing us every chance they get - just because our skin is not black.

Blacks don’t have white gangs doing the same to them and they know it.

Tell it to the families of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

Should have been a slam dunk 4 death penalty convictions, but it wasn’t.
