If Trayvon Martin had stalked George Zimmerman with a gun and shot him on the evening of February 26, 2012, its dead certain he would have been arrested that very nigh, and spent the ensuing months in the slammer, with a very high bail imposed and public opinion stacked against him, with most white Americans inclined to think he was a vicious thug. Finding a jury that could render an objective verdict in the case of a black kid in a hoodie who shot a lighter skinned man named Zimmerman would have been virtually impossible.
In fact, even though he is the person who is dead, Trayvon Martin has been treated to the kinds of character assassination frequently experienced by rape victims. Just as rape victims must prove they did nothing to provoke being raped, black murder victims have to prove they didnt deserve to be murdered.
It is a crime to be black in this country. In all categories of crime, the number of black men locked up in Americas prisons is vastly disproportionate to their percentage of the population.
But once the racism has been stipulated, the next step must be to seek ways to change the pervasive racist attitudes that poison us all and that get so many black kids killed. Stereotypes about young black men are not only held by self-righteous vigilantes like George Zimmerman, or the fulminating firebrands at Fox News; theyre internalized and incubated in the black community as well. A couple of decades ago, Jesse Jackson was criticized for admitting that even he gets uneasy when hes on the streets alone and spots three or four young black males coming his way. Theres barely an American to be found anywhere who doesnt experience a spike in blood pressure at the sight.....

After reading that garbage he wrote, I wish that Trayvon had beat the crap out of him! What a thumb sucking liberal dope!
It is consoling to know that his last thought was “Oh, crap!I screwed up!”
I think you have defined White Guilt very completely. Now we need to find a cure.
This man is totally ignornant. Preconcieved notions, small minded.
By another of Obama's sons. Not Traydemark - George took out the trash.
Yawn! Another paternalistic, patronizing white liberal. Treating minority groups like little children may make these bleeding heart libs feel good inside but accomplishes nothing positive for non-whites.

Yep, Lloyd. Not 1965. No racism anymore. What a relief. And there surely was no racism at work in this case. But perhaps that cracker you have representing you might explain something about why you seem to think it’s delusional to think racism is a think of the past. Everyone over at Fox agrees with you.

The author raises a legitimate point about the negative effects of gangsta rap.
“But what I would pay good money to see would be a photo of the author after meeting a group of about 20 Travons”
Unlikely. Paradise, CA is only 0.4% black
Let the author move to east NY for 24 hours and it should set him straight. Entire neighborhoods where the only stores are bodegas, check cashers and fried chicken joints. All with bulletproof glass...
These freaks are so far out there, they give ‘Black Hole’ a new meaning :/
Lets all send $$ to an account that gives him a free trip to walk Detroit or Chicago (thinking he ‘feels’ them).. see what he thinks when (IF) he comes back...
Suffering from White-Guilt and delusions. If Martin was a stand-up citizen, and suffered an attack by Zimmerman, ending up with a dead thug Zimmerman, Martin would not have bee arrested or railroaded.
All hail Saint Skittles & Purple Drank.
By the way, has he rose from da dead yet ?
The guy has started deleting comments that debunk his bs.
needs to be mugged
