Trayvon Martin's mom: Whites don't get it
The Orlando Sentinel's TV Guy Blog ^ | December 13, 2014 | Hal Boedeker

Posted on 12/13/2014 5:08:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, says whites do not understand the protests about the deaths of young black men.

CNN's Anderson Cooper cited polls that reveal white people do not view the issue the same way as black people.

"It's not happening to them, so they don't quite get it," Fulton told Cooper in an interview that aired Friday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." "They don't quite understand. They think that it's a small group of African-Americans that's complaining: 'Oh, what are they complaining about now?'"

Cooper asked: "You hear that from people?"

"Oh yeah," Fulton said. "The people say that all the time, 'What are they complaining about now? What are they protesting about now?'"(continued)

We sure don’t. The bastards in the government force us to “give it”.

“Cooper asked: “You hear that from people?”

“Oh yeah,” Fulton said. “The people say that all the time, ‘What are they complaining about now? What are they protesting about now?’”

Liar.

Did Cooper let her give out her “Trayvon Martin Memorabilia” 1-800 number?

I think I DO get it... I live within the law and in showing respect I get some in return. Quite simple actually.

The guiding lights of their marches are ROBBERS.

Failed robbers.

That’s pretty amazing.

She is right. Many people don’t get why blacks see Al Sharpton as a “civil rights leader” when he is nothing more than a race agitator. They don’t get why blacks accept the narrative that blacks cannot make it in America when we currently have a black president and AG. They don’t get why blacks continually allow themselves to be tools for the political left who tells them they are inferior to others. She is right, many people in America don’t get it.

“”It’s not happening to them, so they don’t quite get it,”

Idiot. “

she meant to say, the media is not reporting when it happens to them.

She isn't ready for her 15 minutes to be up. The looters and rioters have two new sets of "parents" who are getting the spotlight and big bucks now. Hoodies are out. Guy Fawkes masks and "I Can't Breathe" T-Shirts are the new "next big thing".

Ignorant b@tch who raised a thug.

My kids are Moreno, the difference being they’ve been raised to respect the law and the social contract. If they don’t, I sure as hell won’t be trying to justify it like some idiot slimeball.

Yeah, she lost a child. She also raised a bullying thug who robbed a store after beating up and old man. Sympathy is lacking here, but I will pray that she starts to “get it” all the same.
