A Right to be hostile: Why Trayvon Martin's Family shouldn't have to play nice
Ebony ^ | 4/13/12 | Jamilah Lemieux

I became sick to my stomach upon hearing that Sybrina Fulton, mother to murdered Trayvon, had stated this week that she felt that her son’s shooting death was “an accident.” I understand that Trayvon is her baby, not mine, and that a grieving mother should not only be given the space to mourn and emote as she sees fit…but that her emotions during this time can lead her to say things that the rest of the world can’t quite understand or co-sign. I get that. I also appreciate that Fulton had the opportunity to recant her statement later on HLN’s Nancy Grace, stating that she believes George Zimmerman had an “intent” in mind when he approached her son and “carried out that intent.”

If this was an accident, it was an accident just waiting to happen.

How can she (or anyone) know Zimmerman's intent?

Intent, intent, intent.

What was Trayvon’s intent?

See, knowing intent goes both ways.

“Zimmerman sure sounds Jewish to me.”

It could be Jewish but it could also just be German.

Not all “Zimmermans” are Jewish even though this time it could be.

Anybody know for sure?

“If Zimmerman is “white” because one parent is white, then our beloved Dear Reader is also white.”

I’ve wondered about this, too. Do you get to pick whether you are black or white?

Do you get into college more easily if you are black? Do you get other things more easily if you are white?

How does one pick if one is white or black?

Just askin’......

Bet Rev. Jackass and Rev. Not so Sharp blew a gasket when they heard the Mother use the word “accident”!

She could really blow their race-baiting gig saying things like this.

hunted down a significantly smaller teen boy “””

Wrong!

GZ = about 5’9” Trayvon==6’2” + and over 170 #

Anybody 4++ inches taller than me, attacking me, will get a bullet, also!

Self defense against an attacker is justified, even if the perp is black.

Travyon was the perp and George was the victim.

We are all Zimmerman. Long live Zimmerman!

One of the CNN commentators referred to it as “murder”. I guess she is the one woman jury.

I have no idea. Zimmermann is German for Carpenter, and is just about a common, for instance, The Zimmermann Telegram.
