Trayvon Martin did not deserve to die. Everyone has heard the story of the 17-year-old black kid who was walking home from a Florida gas station, when he was shot dead by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman. Zimmerman wasn’t arrested until recently, since he was protected by Florida’s "Stand Your Ground" law, which states that it’s all right to kill someone if they confront you. George Zimmerman claims that Martin attacked him.
I’m a white kid, so some may argue that the gravity of the situation is somewhat lost on me, but it’s not. I’m a firm believer in the fact that every person is considered a person, no matter what they look like, or where they’re from. I’ve lived in Syracuse for my entire life and thanks to the schools that I go to, I have lived with an unbelievable amount of diversity every single day.
There is no doubt in my mind that this was a racially motivated murder. If it had been a white girl, Zimmerman would’ve been in jail so fast -- although, he probably wouldn’t have shot in the first place. Even if Martin really did attack Zimmerman, the fact remains that Zimmerman followed the unarmed kid with a gun. If Martin had a gun, he would’ve been completely within his rights to kill Zimmerman, but, if he had, he probably would’ve been arrested and put in jail for years.
Racism like this needs to end. We need to move past these ideas of stereotypes and prejudice and coexist. Only then can we make true progression within the human race.
Yes, and no.
But Duke did write a (presumably quite large) settlement check to the 3 defendants.
That the Left learned nothing from the whole Duke incident is one of the lessons of the St. Trayvon / Jorge Zimmerman event.
The Trayvon Martin case proves for the umpteenth time that Big Lib Media cannot be trusted to tell the truth. In fact, this is another classic case of the half-truth. Lib media tells the country half the story and purposefully omits the finer details. Gullible libs eagerly lap up any story having to do with “racist” whites gunning down “innocent” blacks with reckless abandon. This meme hasn’t changed for forty or fifty years. But there is an unlimited supply of naive libs i.e. saps who are more than willing to believe the lies.
There is no doubt in my mind that this was a racially motivated murder.All that is necessary to put paid to this line of “reasoning” is to ask if it would be possible for the same thing to happen if the neighborhood watch captain had been black, or if the interloper had been hispanic. And the answer is yes, provided that the interloper had contempt for the rights of the people of the neighborhood, and felt entitled to snoop around in the dark of night without arousing the curiosity of the residents. Since the author of this sophomoric piece denies any possibility that a white person could be in the right when becoming suspicious of a stranger who didn’t appear to have any reason for wandering around as Mr. Martin did, the writer himself manifest the very contempt for the local residents which seems - pending any substantive new evidence - to have been in Mr. Martin.
“approximately 16 years old”
I love it when 16 or 18 year olds write songs about eternal love.
Barely able to wipe their own butts and think they know about eternal anything.
There is no doubt in my mind that this was a racially motivated murder.There is no doubt in my mind that no one has ever taught you the slightest bit about critical thinking or criminal justice and I have very grave doubts that anyone ever will.
little mind of mush
Progress? PROGRESS?
This little boy hasn’t figured out that progress, American version, stopped in 1965 or so, and that we’ve been going backwards for more than 40 years.
My European ancestors may be africans ‘way back’ but it is their Neanderthal influence (yeah Neanderthals are ‘back’ in...they found the DNA trail) is what gave my forefathers the ability to succeed in the frozen wastes of the ice ages and put man on the moon.

Ain’t that cute?
Stereotypes are simply the center of the bell curve but when your only defense is denial the term has to be vilified.
Organizations exploit Trayvon Martin incident to push their COMMUNIST agenda

The writer lost me with that statement. The world would be a better place if all thuggish individuals of all races would be killed.

I guess if Winston Churchill's saying is true (anyone who's 20 and not a liberal has no heart, anyone who's 40 and not a conservative has no brain), then I was pretty heartless in high school.
Well, not until he finished killing Zimmerman at least. Then he may have had some 'splainin' to do.
The good news is: This ignorant child is only one or two beat-downs away from acquiring a realistic worldview.
