Exclusive: Trayvon Martin’s Mom: ‘If They Refuse to Hear Us, We Will Make Them Feel Us’
Time Magazine ^ | August 18, 2014 | Sybrina Fulton

To The Brown Family,

I wish I had a word of automatic comfort but I don’t. I wish I could say that it will be alright on a certain or specific day but I can’t. I wish that all of the pain that I have endured could possibly ease some of yours but it won’t. What I can do for you is what has been done for me: pray for you then share my continuing journey as you begin yours.

I hate that you and your family must join this exclusive yet growing group of parents and relatives who have lost loved ones to senseless gun violence. Of particular concern is that so many of these gun violence cases involve children far too young. But Michael is much more than a police/gun violence case; Michael is your son. A son that barely had a chance to live. Our children are our future so whenever any of our children – black, white, brown, yellow, or red – are taken from us unnecessarily, it causes a never-ending pain that is unlike anything I could have imagined experiencing.

Further complicating the pain and loss in this tragedy is the fact that the killer of your son is alive, known, and currently free. In fact, he is on paid administrative leave. Your own feelings will bounce between sorrow and anger. Even when you don’t want to think about it because it is so much to bear, you will be forced to by merely turning on your television or answering your cell phone. You may find yourselves pulled in many different directions by strangers who may be well-wishers or detractors. Your circle will necessarily close tighter because the trust you once, if ever, you had in “the system” and their agents are forever changed....

He did get her a million (I’m sure he took his cut) from the HOA, but that’s it.

Geez, that sounds like a threat.

If only these people would tackle the problem of babies being born out of wedlock, lack of morals, the “artists” they emulate, and, as applies to everyone, get into a good church and learn to live the way God wants us to live.

I worked in the call center for Glamour Shots for about a year in one of my low periods. I’ve seen MUCH worse, believe it or not.

If you continue to press for the restrictions of my rights you will reap the reward you have sown.

Take heed: Your efforts to disenfranchise me from my rights will be the seeds of your destruction.

Black moms who raise sons who get themselves killed by doing idiotic things seems to be the new star base for black Americans.

Perhaps they can start a show this fall, heralding the things these moms do to get their boys to commit suicide by law enforcement.

The winner’s mom gets to be a public figure who trys to get other moms to bring their boys up to do the same thing. As an added bonus, they can be a spokesperson before, during, and after riots. And if they can, they can spread the riots across multiple cities so more black families can suffer.

What a productive society we’re developing into.

Exactly. Countless, literally countless opportunities and billions of dollars down the drain, for nothing. Nothing. Stop acting so predictable, like a cliche. Stop listening to the race hustlers like Sharpton. Hear them? We’ve been getting nothing but empty words from that community. They all talk about change, but in the end, they just want another entitlement. Feel you? Fine, I’m ready. Bring it.

I do believe that was your sons philosophy... And he died because of it... Any moral person would be ashamed they raised a thug - but not you. You encourage it...

I think George Zimmerman already felt your parasite offspring, Madame.

I do not fear you.
