White conservatives often criticize Black people for being too quick to play what they call "the race card." On the other hand, many Black people criticize America for not being sensitive enough to the reality that race plays in American life. George Zimmerman’s trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin clearly validates the Black community’s point of view.
Trayvon Martin is dead for no other reason than he was born Black in America. That’s a non-debatable fact. Had he been a White kid, Trayvon would have still been alive today. Yet, even as the jury is out deliberating Zimmerman’s fate, there’s a raging debate going on in America over whether or not Zimmerman was justified in taking this mere child’s life.
Regardless to the eventual verdict in this case, the trial itself clearly demonstrates how the laws of the land are routinely bent against the interest of the Black community, while still managing to maintain the illusion of justice for all.
The bottom line is, Trayvon Martin was guilty of absolutely nothing. He was simply engaged in an activity that millions of kids - good kids - engage in all across this country on a daily basis. He wasn’t casing the neighborhood in preparation to commit a crime, he wasn’t walking down the street smoking dope, nor was he walking the street in search of a potential victim. He was simply an innocent kid on his way home after going to the store to buy a bag of Skiddles and a soft drink. So how, in a just society, can he end up dead, and his killer - an armed adult, who stalked him, and outweighed him by forty pounds - can now be claiming self-defense in his murder? The very scenario strains credulity to the limit.
One would think the facts above would be crystal clear to every single person in America - and they would be if the situation was exactly reversed. If Trayvon Martin had been the adult in this scenario, and he stalked and killed a White kid under the exact same circumstances - if he stalked the kid, weighed forty pounds more than his victim, and he was armed while the kid was not - chances are, he would already be on Death Row, for First Degree Murder - that is, assuming he survived to reach the police station.
So while I don’t take the position that all White people are malevolent, nor am I one who looks under every rock for the existence of racism whenever Black people don’t get their way, I do stand firm in the belief that racism is such an historically pervasive part of American life that many Americans - both Black and White - harbor grossly racist attitudes towards Black people that are so deeply ingrained that they don’t even recognize it themselves.
You don’t think so? Watch any hip hop video and count the number beautiful dark-skinned sisters you find. I guarantee you, you’ll find very few - and even when a dark-skinned sister is so strikingly beautiful that they can’t avoid using her, they’ll usually shine a light on her to make her look orange.
So I reiterate, Trayvon Martin is dead due to the gross racism of a grossly racist society - Period.

And maybe high, too. Blood chem evidence showed codeing analog, and THC.
Someone pounding your head on concrete, you only have a few poundings to make it, and survive before concussion, while being sat on by a large person. Black or white, whatever... if armed and can access, double tap.
Z is only like 5feet four or five. Short vs. 6 feet two (a child of 17).
Including those 500 dead from last year alone - in Chi-Congo - I wonder what the total is for the past ten years there and what the graph line might show. Oh yes, all because of Whitey.
Is there an “Ignorant Ostensibly Educated Negro of All Time, Space, and Dimension” award? because I think we have a winner...
The evidence, including marks on Zs forearms from being pinned down, number one. Number two, if Z had his gun already out, and was hit from behind then pinned, the kid could have knocked the gun away.
It was in the waist conceal holster and when he freed his hand, he pulled it and ballistics angle proves he was close in to T’s torso, very close from the entry pattern.
This guy is blowing more smoke for an agenda, and has not read the case facts.
Trayvon Martin is dead for no other reason than he was born Black in America.
Nonsense. He is dead for the same reason he would be if he had been white or purple. Stupidity. Anyone that is unarmed and attacks an armed person usually ends up dead.
In other words - if you are born black (actually brown) in America, you shall never suffer ANY consequences for any action you may take, and no non-black person has ANY right what-so-ever (since they’ve never lived the ‘black experience’) to take any action against you no matter how sorely they are provoked?!?
You need to find another country. How about mexico? Your attitude is totally wrong, biased, and unwelcome in the U.S.of A., and will certainly add to present divisions/friction.
Bullshit. The dead thug punk is dead because it was a thug punk. George Zimmerman should get a medal for killing the thug punk before it killed an innocent person.
It appears so.
Isn't Zimmerman one quarter black? And Jewish and Hispanic>?
He is more of a minority than anyone. I mean where is the Jewish/Hispanic/black organizations to watch his back?
Pecking order.
Only the NSA and H0lder/0bama know.
The cherry pie doesn't fall far from the tree.
St Tray had three minutes to disappear into the condo.
Some subgroup of sub-humans actually believe that simply saying something changes reality and makes it so.
Debating such retards is as useful as fertilizing a rock.
... That’s a non-debatable fact...
There.
Fixed it.
Must be a fact.
No other explanation is possible.
You are right about that!
He is dead because black males between the ages of 14 and 30 are overwhelmingly represented as the perps in most any violent crime category you can think of.
He is dead because crime, i.e. break-ins, have been happening more frequently. Just as it is and has been in many, many other areas.
He is dead because blacks males, young black males in particular, statistically speaking, are a danger to society.
He is dead because of this race related propensity and the fact that Travon attacked an armed man and who felt the need to be armed as part of a neighborhood watch, that is needed because of such crime and to protect his family and community.
When somebody says “That’s a non-debatable fact”, and they have no facts to support it, I stop reading and start debating.
