The mother of Trayvon Martin will participate in a University of Utah public discussion on Jan. 16 during a weeklong celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., KTVX-TV reports.

Sybrina Fulton is scheduled to speak at the university's Union Ballroom for the 30th annual Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This year's theme is "Beneath the Hoodie: A Look at Racial Profiling in America."

Fulton's son, a 17-year-old black Miami high-school student, was fatally shot in February 2012 by George Zimmerman. A jury in Seminole County acquitted Zimmerman in July of murder.

The case stirred a national debate on issues of self-defense, racial justice, gun control and profiling....

A) What is the percentage of blacks in Utah? (B) Who is paying her, and how much? (C) When did a court determine that George Zimmerman "racially profiled" the late Trayvon Martin? (D) If you live in Utah, I'm guessing your tax dollars went to flying her & her entourage in, feeding, transporting & lodging them and a nice stipend besides. How do you feel about that?

Zimmerman “profiled” Trayvon as a dangerous, potentially violent criminal.

He was correct.

Pray for George Zimmerman. I do believe the man suffers from this incident. PTSD.

Don’t you remember the major news media did it for him when they creatively edited the 911 tapes to create their own lie about what happened. I hope GZ becomes the major stock holder out of that one.

I live in UT. This is disgusting. They wouldn’t even give this woman half a look in any other circumstance.

Is she going to show photos of the 17 year old w gold teeth while flashing gangster signs, or only display a picture of saint skittles as a 9 year old?

Why does profiling happen?

Because it’s generally correct based on known behavioral tendencies of people who look a certain way.

so suppose you arrive to a bad part of town and have to park your car on the street.

Next to one parking spot there are a dozen young black guys. One block down, there’s a group of Jewish men wearing their skull hats standing there.

Which parking spot do you stop at (assuming all other factors are the same)?

Add MLK to that picture and make it a quartet. Both the great President Ronald Reagan and the fine Senator Jesse Helms (a favorite of Ted Cruz) knew the truth behind the St. Martin myth. J. Edgar Hoover also had the goods in that fraud as well. Someday the records will be unsealed and the world will know the reality about "Reverend" "Doctor" King.

As we do each year, my next door neighbor and I will be flying our Dixie flags on January 20 to annoy the leftist (originally from Nashua, NH as he never lets us forget) across the street. I'll give him credit though -- he's taken that stupid COEXIST bumper sticker off his car, so he's possibly on the way to shedding his Yankee leftism.

Why aren’t we hearing about a civil case brought against Zimmerman? Is it because a lot more about Trayvon’s history and character would come out? And what about Holder’s persecution? What ever became of that?
Ask her what “cracker” means, as used by her son.

Maybe he removed the “Coexist” sticker because it had that “hateful” Christian cross on it. And liberals don’t really want to co-exist with you freedom-loving flag-waving traditional values types.

It’s really a shame that she never put as much energy into raising her son as she has into celebrating his death. But then, there’s no short term monetary profit in simply raising children to be productive citizens.
