Over the last several months, much has been heard from Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin.
In February of last year, Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who claims that this was done in self-defense. At the time, Martin was unarmed and seventeen years old.
Since then, his history of truancy, firearms-related issues, and handling marijuana — among other things — has come to light. Nonetheless, Zimmerman was eventually charged with second-degree murder and is now standing trial.
Evidence suggests that Zimmerman suffered head injuries the night Martin died, though exactly how and why remains a mystery. What is certain, however, is that the shooting’s aftermath has been highly polarizing. It has also drawn considerable attention to the oft-overlooked central Florida port city of Sanford, where the shooting took place.
In a recent interview with popular black-interest blog The Root, Tracy Martin said that “(y)ou can’t prepare your child to contend with the warped mentality of someone else. You can only teach them to be good and live by the laws of the land. George Zimmerman acted in a deranged way — and all the evidence supports that. I know how society negatively portrays black boys, and my son Trayvon wasn’t naive. He wasn’t blind to stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. But I shouldn’t have to tell my child to fear walking to the store to get snacks just because he’s black.”
On Monday, according to Good Morning America, Tracy Martin reportedly “cursed at a supporter of George Zimmerman.....

“Central Florida port city of Sanford?”
I don’t think so. Whoever wrote this needs a geography lesson.
Apple...tree
Some role model. Just one issue after another with this bunch of dysfunctional losers.
We have witnesses who saw baby Trayvon pinning Zimmerman to the ground and swinging down at him. That's not enough to solve this mystery?
...and trying to kill Zimmerman at the time the single shot was fired.
Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, Joe, not Captain.
Bullsh!t...he went to the store to get the ingredients needed to get high. And once high, he might muster the courage to engage in a little B and E.
The language of victimhood is "my little victim is always innocent because he lives in the racist culture of Whitey." "Sure, he might get high and steal...and even kill Whitey...but so what...it's Whitey's world and Whitey's world is designed to keep my innocent child down."
How Zimmerman got his head injury remains a mystery? I don’t think he slipped on a banana peel. His injuries have been well documented by police and witnesses at the scene and photos taken on the night of the shooting. They were also attempted to be HIDDEN by the LEFTIST FRAUDS in the MSM. That is far from a mystery in my book.
“In these photos, Martin himself is making some sort of hand sign. Other individuals photographed are doing the same. TCTH identified said signs as gang-related.”
Seriously? I thought those were signs for “more Skittles”.
I love how he tattoo-ed over his gang tattoo to make it two praying hands. I wonder who paid for that. At this point, I’d guess nbc news.
As if we don’t have enough problems in this country, we have to deal with a-holes like this guy. He’s a friggin’ Crip.
His dead thug kid is worth more to him now than he was if he was alive, and will be worth more to him w/ an acquittal than a conviction.
Truth hurts. But it’s the truth.
port city to lake monroe? LOL
“my little victim is always innocent because he lives in the racist culture of Whitey.”
Yep. IF odongo had a son, he’d be just like this.
I don't know what trial he has been watching but that is nowhere even close to what I have seen and heard coming from that courtroom.
Martin's wanna-be thug son was attempting to live the stereotypical life of a lawless black street thing. He picked a fight with the wrong person and lost.
Maybe the author is afraid that Tracy Martin will sucker punch him, and then beat his head on the sidewalk.
“Martin looked down at the reporter’s name badge and proceeded to call him MF’er..”
Classy..
How do we know Trayvon wasn’t tending to George Zimmerman’s self-inflicted wounds while having him pinned down? /s
There is more power and meaning to that statement than most folks realize.
