Many Young Black Men Are Afraid They Will End Up Like Trayvon

Ever since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman on that faithful night, America has been on their toes about the stereotypes that have been put under a spotlight.

There are all types of statistics that are supposed to show that young black men have to be more careful with how they act, and it gets harder when those stereotypes only worsen from it.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, young black men are more fearful of their futures ever since the incident with Trayvon Martin.

A 19-year-old boy named Jaboris Haynes spoke with the Sentinel and revealed:

"Sometimes it hurts. When I was younger, I thought of being a different race and wondered what it would be like. The message I got about being a young black man wasn't a good message. I always felt like somebody was after me, like they were judging me, just because I'm a black male."

Don’ throw the first punch or try to kick my ass and you’ll be fine.

“Jaboris ...
What’s next? Janatasha? Jabullwinkle? Jarocky? “

Makes me think of Jar Jar Banks.

Yeah, they are so fearful, in fact, that they are randomly killing innocent white people as payback for Trayvon, while other black yutes play the knockout king "game" on innocent whites who just happen to be walking down the street or riding their bikes. It's clear their fear is getting the better of them when their standard MO is to attack one person with a gang of six or more.

Sorry young black males, society has a lot more to fear from you than you do from it. At some point, black America is going to have to accept some personal responsibility -- if that is even possible.

Don’t punch people in the face, tackle them, and beat their heads against the cement.

Is that so hard?

Mind your own business. Keep your hands to yourself. Trayvon violated both of those basic rules of civil behavior. He went after Zimmerman and decided it was a good idea to test out his boxing skills against a smaller man. He clearly didn't know the guy he decided to assault was armed. If he minded his own business and continued back to his residence, none of the events would have transpired.

Pull your pants up, stop cowering under a hoodie, lose the bling,( especially in your teeth,) don’t take weed to school so you get suspended and talk normal, then you won’t be stereotyped.

How true and sad at the same time. Martin Luther King’s dream is still a dream. n/s

Eric Holder's people support gun control because they believe that violent crime is a legitimate career path, and armed victims are an OSHA violation.

If they screw around with drugs, trying to act all gangster and jump people with guns then things can IMO happen.

Well, I’m afraid I’ll end up like Nancy Strait. And SHE was minding her own business in her own house.

I’ve never heard Herman Cain or Clarence Thomas complain about their fears of being stereotyped and killed for being black.

What a crock of poo! Man up, don’t do drugs, dont attack people. Think with your big head. Try to make a positive impact. You do those things and you have a 90+% chance that you will. It have to worry about any of it!

If they stop thinking they are a protected species with a right to run roughshod over everyone they meet, there wouldn’t be an issue. Instead, they prefer to act like tribal animals.
