My Opinion on the Topic


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.
