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.
The Author
He’s partially black and I’m not sure he was born in America.
Trayvon Martin is dead because race baiters like the author write crap like this.
Trayvon Martin is dead because 30 years ago a race baiter named Al Sharpton tried to pull off a hoax and instead of going to jail for 20 years he got elevated toBlack folk hero.
But most of all, Trayvon Martin is dead because 8 prior robberies by blacks in this development caused a security guard to ask the question, what are you doing here. And instead of being the respectful child answering, going to my dads house, decided to launch a physical attack on a symbol of authority. And in the process to himself killed.
Trayvon Martin is dead because he tried to blend a man’s head with the pavement, and that man shot him. Moral of the story: don’t pound people into the sidewalk, and they won’t kill you.
TM is dead because he got into a fight.
Or is this guy saying Zimmerman wouldn’t have shot a white guy who was trying to take Z’s gun during a fight?
Yes.
He’s dead because he tried to murder someone by smashing that person’s head into the cement. He’s dead because he had a thug mentality. He’s dead because he made bad decisions. He’s dead because his degenerate parents didn’t raise him well. He’s dead because he was a loser punk. Oh, yes...coincidentally he was a person with “black” skin color.

93% of murdered blacks are killed by blacks. See above.
Dear Author,
Young black men kill far more non-black people every year in America than non-black people killing young black men. The numbers aren’t even close, quite frankly.
I’ve grown so disgusted with the completely one-sided, lie-filled racial discussion in this country. The only way it’ll end is if we openly and forcefully end it with the unbridled truth about criminal statistics. No hemming and hawing and feeling guilty if those truths offend.
Lookee what I just found:
George Zimmerman had the gun in his hand BEFORE he confronted Trayvon Martin

The actual killing field is by far and away ... the black uterus.
As bad as it is statistically for young black males who actually make it into the world, the odds get much better once they escape that death trap.
Yeah, right. And those burglar tools and stolen jewelry they busted him with were just stuff that he found...

Pretty sure that to survive in Africa you have to have SOME type of skill...
Isn’t Obama president because he is black and pretended to have been born in America?
It's not a fact. It is debatable. In fact, it is a convenient fiction. Trayvon is dead because he was a two-bit punk who messed with the wrong cracker. There are going to be a lot more Trayvon's when white people wake up to the fact that they've been held hostage to political correctness for decades, while predators like Trayvon and his homies have raped, robbed, and murdered them.
We've had enough, get it? To hell with Trayvon and all the rest of his tin-horn bad bro's. You want bad? Piss off the white middle class and see how long you last.
Race whore ...
Had he been a White kid, Trayvon would have still been alive today.
Sure he would have, idiot. More racist bull flop from some char-broiled hater. Piss off.
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.
"Mere child." Yeah, you bet. Wannabe thug, second-rate criminal, jail fodder reprobate. Animated trash looking for a handout and another whitey to victimize.
Want some? Come get it!
Proof of this argument are the preparations for rioting and looting being made for when Zimmerman is found innocent. If Martin were white, the cops wouldn't have to make any preparations.
