The Trayvon Martin story: At this point, I’m kind of tired
of hearing about it. I want justice to be served and all that but I wasn’t
there to really know what happened and neither was anyone else other than G.
Zimmerman himself.
The first time I actually read about it, I was like dang.
Dude killed that young boy and for what? Days later, I started to see folks
with hoodies on in their Fakebook pics. That was cool at first but after I saw
it a few times, it started to come across as silly to me. Mugs in the court
room or where ever were wearing hoodies, gatherings with folks wearing hoodies.
Something has been bothering since. All the post and
comments and opinions about something that could be one thing or another. The
race card was pulled in the first article I read and there’s a lot of folks
that ran with that. Anytime someone other than a black kills a black, it’s
being called racist. We all should know that we can’t believe everything we
read in a news articles, let alone from someone we don’t know. The news spices
up shit and we go for it. Gossip, always gets folks attention, boi I tell ya.
Maybe this was my problem, the other day on the radio, some
kat said some of realist shit I’ve heard about the Trayvon Martin story. He was
like..all this talk about racism and marching and gathering, black folks kill
blacks every day. Why ain’t we marching and gathering every day but as soon as
someone outside the race kills one of our own, we want to react and pull the
race card.
Racism is basically ignorance. Pulling the race card each
and every time is just as ignorant. If we, Black people, show ignorance, what
makes you think we ain’t going to be treated ignorant?
Not that Trayvon doesn’t matter but if the focus is because
he was a young black male, young black males are dying all the time in senseless
murders. I mean, hate, racism & ignorance go hand to hand. What is it called when a blacks kills other
blacks? What are you doing about that?
That is all for now.
