If the police handled the situation like they were suppose to this case doesn't turn into what it became. The writer leads you to believe that the mainstream media blew this case up, that's not the case though...it was Facebook, the blogs, the forums, and believe it or not the WorldStars of the world. The mainstream media only got involved once the protest and the outrage started.
It's always funny to me to see white people's reaction when a child is killed (i.e: Sandyhook), but as soon as that child turns out to be black all sympathy gets tossed in the bushes
.
It all boils down to 1 thing...the white man's fear of the black man. Clothes and slang don't make you guilty, it's their fear of you that makes you guilty in there eyes...I'll prove it to u.
One can easily take a look at this dude
and assume that he's a devil worshiper, a loner, and another Columbine waiting to happen...but they don't get prejudged like that because they don't fear his white skin. They view it like "ohh he's young and rebellious, he'll grow out of it". See that's the thing white people are allowed to be young and rebellious and it's not held against them, they certainly aren't being stopped and detained . A black child cant wear a hoody and be alil rebellious because they fear you from birth. You come out the womb under their suspicion. They can't see Trayvon was a child heading home, they see a black man heading home and in their mind that automatically makes you suspicious. Trayvon coulda been wearing a Brooks Brothers suit and it would not have changed the outcome.
EDIT: As black people you learn to live under that suspicion, you know when you go into certain stores your gonna get followed, you know that the police are gonna profile you, it is what it is. What this jury just did was set a precedent that even a normal white civilian has the right to stop you and ask you your where abouts and you must comply! Because their aint no such thing as "stand your ground" for a black man.
