No Justice For Trayvon Martin Why Are Blacks Surprised At This????????
There was a trial over the last two weeks for George Zimmerman in the killing of 17 year old Trayvon Martin in Sanford,Florida. He was found not guilty by a jury of his "peers". I have a lot to say about this: first of all why are my fellow African Americans upset at the verdict? We should have known what was going to happen. I didn't waste one second watching the trial at all because I knew what was coming. I told friends weeks ago that he would get off and be found not guilty. Second of all a jury of 6 people all white females that live in Sanford,Florida. Sanford has never been known as a progressive city for blacks. Thirdly from what I heard the trials was not about what it should have been about. This should have been an open and shut case, Zimmerman stalked Martin, kept following him when dispatch told him not to. Stalked,harassed,shot and killed an unarmed teenager. Instead the idiot prosecutor,defense focused on who was on top of whom, whom was crying out, and how much marijuana Martin smoked. These things did not have a thing to do with what happened that night. Trayvon Martin's past history in school or how much endo he smoked should not have been introduced into the trial at all. To me it seemed more like Trayvon Martin was on trial not George Zimmerman who I feel is racist and thinks he's a white man. But we as black folks should be used to this: black man's repurtation, humanity, and rights as a human being have been trampled on for centuries. Did we think this would stop when a half black, half white man was elected to the White House? As African Americans we should have known better, we should have been shocked if Zimmerman was found guilty. We can't be brainwashed that this is a post racial society just because Barack Obama is President of The United States. My fellow African Americans this is still the "United States of America". When has this country ever been "United" in anything? The Constitution still has in it's document that blacks are 3/5th's of a human being and you think Trayvon Martin is going to get any kind of justice? OJ Simpson was found not guilty by a court of law yet he was ostracized by the "United States Of America". Progress for African Americans is we have to get out of the economic slavery that we are in from this system. Yes we have some that have come a long way in this, but there are still too many in poverty and dependent upon the White Establishment. So as I asked originally: Why Are We Surprised That Trayvon Martin Did Not Get Justice? Also what is justice from the millions of African Americans killed over Centuries in this country by jealous white folks? Then again where's the uproar from blacks killing blacks every day? I hope my fellow African Americans think about these questions very deeply. This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.
