The slaying of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has jolted the American public from its apathy, and there is righteous public outrage from coast to coast.
Martin's death at the hands of a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla., has become a national issue that has drawn comment from President Obama and other national leaders. In California, state lawmakers Thursday donned hoodies to demand justice in the case.
Much closer to home, Oakland residents have held rallies to demand action in the Florida case, which has raised multiple troubling issues, including the question of whether Martin was deemed "suspicious" by his shooter because he was an African American youth wearing a hoodie. The admitted shooter, George Zimmerman, is a white Hispanic.
Meanwhile, Lakisha Hill of Hayward wondered if anyone will speak up for her boy.
Charles Hill III, 16, was gunned down in East Oakland after an argument outside a party one week ago. He is one of 28 homicide victims in Oakland this year.
Lakisha Hill, his mother, was one of several people who have lost a son to violence in Oakland and contacted Marilyn Washington Harris, seeking answers, comfort and support. Harris began an antiviolence foundation soon after the death of her own son, Khadafy, in 2000.

If Zimmerman was “black”, nobody would care and the moronic politicians wouldn’t be wearing their hoodies. The commie libs are just trying to kick off a race war before the elections.
Selective outraged by the racebaters....
I presented THAT scenario on Facebook....that WHAT IF Z had been black, and M had been MexAmerican? Haven’t gone back to see the responses.....should be interesting.

Mutant Zombie Trayvons (MZT's) are seemingly everywhere!

"I tell them there is no difference, it's just that some people choose to follow what the in-crowd is working on instead of working on the problem right in front of them," she said. "I tell them it's not personal."As long as African Americans keep shoveling bull residue like this and accepting it, the problem will never get any better.
Last thing they'd imagine was a "brown" (well, he tans, I don't) Hispano-American Democrat, living in an inexpensive theoretically gated community without enough money to hire a guard, and the top entertainment is either the community swimming pool or drinking beer in front of a TV watching a sports event.
Democrats have their prejudices and simply do not have the mental capacity to think of other possibilities.
Too bad there is not this kind of outrage over black men killing other black men for such things as really cool jackets.
But let's not allow facts to interfere with demagoguery.

And, since his mommy will be capatalizing on his name we will see it everywhere.

Survived by brothers Amin and Mugabe and sister Winnie-Mandela.
And they all look like Obama.
Happens everday over and over here in Memphis!
Gaijin has posted a few more for you. Note they are up to date and not years old.
Trayvon apparently was two sided.
How about ole Oprah getting involved in this?
The WH is pulling in all their chits but they be messing it up bad. Witness Spike Lee, heh....stupid RoseAnn who’s not much liked by anybody.
Now Oprah throws away all her credibility because of what I believe was probably a plea by Moochelle.
Just a hunch.
"Meanwhile, Lakisha Hill of Hayward wondered if anyone will speak up for her boy. "
Well, Lakisha, we conservatives, of all colors, have been speaking up about the black on black violence level, but the President, the Justice Department, the CBC, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Black Panthers, Rosie O'Donnell, the MSM, and libs of all colors DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN, and use their power to ruin (or kill) anyone who does speak up.
Yep, it gins up the black vote... helps elect white liberal elites who PROMISE to fight for and 'HELP' blacks get justice sometime in...well ... the future. ( A 'future' when an angry 90% of black voters aren't needed to elect white elite dems)
