The Trayvon Martin case has been nothing short of heartbreak from the very beginning. Regardless of what anyone believes about Trayvon's past, his innocence or George Zimmerman's, the fact remains that a teenager is dead. I honestly didn't think I would get emotionally broken up more than I was over the story that Rachel Jeantel's friendship with Martin stemmed from the fact he was one of the only people who never picked on her. The story painted such a tragic picture of friendship and two people whose lives will never be the same.
Then came this week's testimonies and reactions from Trayvon Martin's parents to leave me – and so much of America – floored. On Friday morning, Sybrina Fulton took the stand to talk about her son. As part of her testimony she had to identify her child's screams in his finals seconds of life. Later in the day, Tracy Martin had to sit in court as the medical examiner, Dr Bao, explained how Trayvon died in severe pain and was alive for minutes after getting shot in the chest.
Essentially, Friday – almost as much as the day Trayvon was shot – was any parent's nightmare. Trayvon's parents had to come face to face with their son's murder while Fulton got questioned over whether or not her son actually deserved to get killed. Tracy had to sit in the same room as the man who shot his son in the chest, unable to retaliate or let the rage he has to be feeling out.
Yes, this is the worst imaginable day for a parent. But it's one the parents of an African-American child has been conditioned to accept as a possibility....

I dont see why I should that Trayvon cannot buy watermelon juice at midnight
white hispanics unaffected?
"The George Zimmerman trial is the worst fear of every black family"
"Parents of black males live in fear that their children won't come home because someone thought they were dangers to society"
Unbelievable.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that their son or daughter will be engaged into the hip-hop culture
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that they become a gang banger.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that the sons or daughters of other black "families" will murder their children.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that their sons or daughters are perceived of acting "too white".
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that they talked to the wrong person.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that they inadvertently "disrespected" someone.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that they get involved with drugs or alcohol
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be their daughters have babies before the age of 18 without having a husband or even an involved father in the picture.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that their sons impregnate girls before the age of 18 and have no obligation to either marry or be involved in the child's life.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that their kids go to high school without learning to read.
The worst fear of every black family SHOULD be that their kids don't even graduate from high school.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE THE DAMNED WORST FEAR OF EVERY BLACK FAMILY.
But they aren't.
Instead, they are fed lines of bull crap from liberals of all races, and race baiters of all races. They are told that whites are their worst enemy. They are told that cops are their worst enemy. They are told that the government is their worst enemy, and in that last one, they may well be right.
It is a crime what liberalism has been allowed to do to the black community, and they shoulder a great deal of the responsibility themselves.
Being murdered by white, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, or any other kind of American except for black Americans should be THE LAST THING THEY FEAR.
And the statistics bear out that unpleasant truth.
Exactly.
Why worry about your kid getting gunned down for his sneakers or because he told the dealer on the corner that he wouldn't stand lookout when you can worrk about him getting gunned down by a crazy "cracker" instead? As long as fools like this guy are around and have people listening to them the black communities in America will never get their act together....and America will continue to suffer for it.
In the year of 2011 alone, black people killed twice that amount. More than 7,000 black people killed in a single year by other black people in this country.
As far as I know, the total number of black people killed by hispanic neighborhood watch guys is 1. And that one death is the greatest fear of every black family?
Why?
This just burns me. It is precisely why I don’t read papers or watch television. I did read the article, and just look at the picture of the “parents” of Trayvon Martin on the Guardian web page.
That looks like two sober, concerned, professional, involved parents who have been done an injustice.
In reality, those two damned people should be the ones on trial. They ignored that boy, let him do whatever he wanted, gave him no guidance, and allowed him to set forth on the path that ended up with him lying on his back gasping for breath as his lungs collapsed due to that bullet hole in his chest.
They had a baby, and couldn’t even be bothered to be responsible for him. What they did was plant a fertile soil that his thuggery took root in and grew in.
Damn the both of them to hell. This whole thing just makes me so angry I can barely speak about it.
Boo Hoo!
Another worthless POS bites the dust.
Uyghur, PLEASE!
If they were THAT worried they would make them "act more white" i.e Study in school, not expect to be an NBA star, a "gangsta" or a pimp.
Black "Culture" kills black kids....
This moron apparently doesn’t know that the large majority of black murder victims are killed by other blacks.
Or columnists, for that matter.
He looks lighter skinned than Zimmerman.
The same mother who testified in court it was her son's screams initially said they weren't, and only after a meeting in the Mayor of Sanford's office changed her mind and said they were.
We're supposed to feel bad for her?
Ok, how about this: Go to this Chicago Police Blog named Second City Cop and see how many shootings there have been in Chicago since the 4th of July holiday.
I'll spare everyone clicking the link and post that information here:

Casualties Mount
After seven people, including a 72-year-old woman, caught flying lead in 011, the count stands as follows:
One man was killed and 10 others wounded from Friday afternoon through early Saturday on the South and West sides.
Fifty-five people have been shot across the city since Wednesday, 10 of them fatally.
Oh wait, that statistic was published by the Tribune at 1930 hours. They posted an amended count at 2020 hours:
At least 63 people have been shot across the city since Wednesday this holiday weekend, 11 fatally.
And the night isn't over yet. Nor is the weekend - we have all day Sunday to pick up bodies. And not a peep out of the First Deputy, the Superintendent, or the mayor.
I can't do it. I can't go back in and re-read any more of this tripe. I hope someone will do a service for me and post some of the pictures of this beautiful young male below this post.
This "article" is as racist as any hood-wearing member of the nearly pathetic KKK. It takes the side of the dead thug simply because the pigmentation in his skin.
There are large swaths of people, both black and liberal white who have deluded themselves completely on this.
“I’m staying with my dad. He lives right over there. His name is ...”
That was all he had to say. Instead, he opted for “Ima buss dis muffukka ass”. I guess that is far too much for the intellectual heavyweights at The Guardian to consider.
No, just a new modern day pantywaist Brit.
yeah I probably ought to too
How ‘bout all the teenagers killed by Black on Black violence? They don’t count—no White guilt is involved.
Hey, David Dennis,
Sow me some actual evidence that Trayvon Martin did not duck around the corner, hide and wait on George Zimmerman. The evidence shows that.
Trayvon chose to attack a man armed with a handgun. He chose poorly.
