Tracy Martin, father of Trayvon Martin, will speak at Texas Tech’s Black Excellence Gala, according to KFYO.

The event is being hosted by the Iota Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, to commemorate Black History month.

“We are more than excited to bring Tracy Martin to Texas Tech to aid in the efforts of diversity the university is working toward,” said Bobby Akinboro, social chairman of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity in a news release. “We hope this event brings about a revitalization of humanity of all people, no matter race.”

Attention Texas Tech alumni. Of course there is that pesky 1st amendment thingy. “We hope this event brings about a revitalization of humanity of all people, no matter race.” But didn't someone else lose their job for stating "ALL lives matter." which is basically the same thing phrased differently? Weird huh? Must be a case of white privilege. Or something. Rock on IPOS.

Possibly a special guest appearance from mb mom and dad. Of course if they’re not to busy flying to Switzerland to address the u.n. inhuman rights council again.

LOL - what a joke.

Absentee father of a young black man who is the perfect example of the exact opposite of excellence to headline an event celebrating excellence.

You can’t make this stuff up.

First press conference: After image consultants got hold of him: The first one is CAT, stands for "Crippin All the Time"...a gang allegiance tattoo. The second one is a cover of the original...now praying hands for St Trayvon.

This is one screwed-up race. And the sad part is they don’t perceive what an absolute laughingstock they have become.

Regardless of the fact that black Americans only make up 15% of the population, they seem to want to be at least 50% of any institution, college, congress, company, social group, etc

Yep, I thought this was a joke, to honor him as having been a great father.

And Trayvon’s mom — is she really mother of the year?

Does everyone know that Sabrina Fulton didn’t raise Trayvon full time past the age of 2??? And that the two of them have not been a couple since Trayvon was a little boy. Yet they go around, making these joint appearances, as if they were an intact family, and as if Trayvon was a good boy.

The media glossed over and ignored many inconvenient truths as they pushed the Trayvon story. On other issues, liberals tell us we need to confront inconvenient truths. But on the issue of black gang wanna be types such as Trayvon, kids who are raised in ad hoc circumstances, and start going down a bad road in life, we are supposed to ignore those truths.

Nobody ever says anything about how blacks are over represented in the NBA. And I wouldn’t think anything of it either, as I believe in sports, best players should be the ones who play professionally. If as a group, black players are the best basketball players, so be it.

But then it strains believability to imply that if blacks are under represented in some areas, that it must be due to racism.
