The Weight In

I was not going to weigh in at all on the Zimmerman case.  It is all too sad and too wrong.  I would have to agree with the juror who appeared on GMA, that Zimmerman got away with murder.  Poor Travon Martin.  It is a sad case among many that have happened the very same way before.  Since racism and racial profiling is still alive and well in this country, there are those few innocents that will be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.  They will be on the wrong end of the gun and on the wrong end of the judicial system. 

When I saw this picture that has been circulating around the web, I decided to post about it.  There is no justice for Trayvon and Zimmerman is a free man.  Free of sorts.  He will have to live with what he has done.  Time will make changes and eventually he will come to realize that he was wrong.  It may be years from now but that day will come. 

 

Race relations have improved but there are gross changes that need to be made on both sides.  Education is the key to a better life and so many do not take advantage of that. They are caught in the slave mentality that has been there since the civil war times.  Breaking out is not hard but it will take lots of effort.  Maintained effort.  Maintained because there are a barrel of crabs under every ladder. 

 

Rest Trayvon.  Rest well.  You are in a better place.  Gone too soon but better off that the rest of us dealing with the ugly reality of racism.

 

Is Justice for Trayvon Coming?

Snapshots In My Time...Of My Time.....Hauntings.

 

I have not spoken about Trayvon yet because the whole world seems to be.  Now I  finally decided to put in my two cents.  After looking and reading all that has been out so far, it seems that this is a travesty.  A young teen was killed just because he "looked" like he did not belong in the gated community in which he in fact lived! Why?  A Hispanic self appointed rentacop was trigger happy.  He chased this young man when he was told not to and to stay in his car.  The self defense story he is claiming is clearly full of holes.  The voice analysis has been done and it was Trayvon yelling for help and not Zimmerman.  He needs to be arrested soon for murder because that is what it was.  Trayvon was racially profiled by Zimmerman.  

It is 2012 and racism is alive and well in America.  I do not see that changing.  I have a child and it is sad that we still have to teach kids about racism.  That is still exists and to be careful because if you are african american and end up in the wrong place with the wrong people, it will be the end of your life.
