The mood of the neighborhood was quiet, but the anger was loud enough to
shatter glass. I sat looking at the television, awaiting the confirmation from the verdict
that young black lives are not worth spit. George Zimmerman has indeed
gotten away with murder while young Travon lies in a grave that was marked
way too early, just like a lot of young men of color who die tragically and dishonored.
The George Zimmerman case was just as biased as any other lynching trial and Zimmerman was never held accountable for accosting a child that was simply returning home from a store run. Zimmerman disobeyed the 911 operator's request to let the child be, and he refused, hell bent on causing trouble with Travon because of the color of his skin and his hoodie. Had this had been a white man with a white hoodie on, the scenario would have been different. He deliberately followed Travon and harassed him because he didn't "belong" there.
To be followed and harassed would frighten and agitate anyone who has common sense and any defensive actions are just the natural reaction to one's safety being in danger. So if Travon did kick George Zimmerman's ass, it was because Travon himself was the one who was threatened. The "Stand your ground" law should not have the main focus of the case, because George Zimmerman was the one who initiated the altercation by following Travon in the first place. The focus should have been on how our children can't even go to the store by themselves without being killed by cowboys who patrol these gated communities with biased judgement. the focus should have been on why did this grown-ass man go out of his way to bother someone's child in the first place with premeditated intentions of causing trouble? Whether Travon was right or wrong one thing is clear is that young black men don't have any rights and can be hunted down and murdered on any given notice. The kkkourts have made it crystal clear that the "nigger hunting" license is still valid and that no one of color is safe.
Many folks from all over the nation took to the streets to protest the
unjust verdict of Zimmerman's clearance of murder and the slap in the
face to Travon Martin's parents. This case is the millionth slap in
the face to us all as it is an constant reminder that there will never
be racial equality under white rule. It is a reminder how vital it is
to protect our children from child murderers like George Zimmerman by
any means, to educate them and guide them from the ways of this wicked
world. To leave them with a legacy of life and knowledge of self
regardless of evil opposition. That is our God-given right and we the
people are beyond sick and tired of enduring the trauma of the
lynchings of our people that has been going on for centuries, with
impunity.
The case of Marissa Alexander is another example of how racially biased our so-called justice system is. Marissa Alexander, mother of 3 was prosecuted, convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing a warning shot into the ceiling to fend off her abusive husband. When she should have been protected by Florida’s “stand your ground” law, she wasn’t, even with the testimony from her husband saying that she was defending herself and in fear for her life. The attorney who refused to prosecute George Zimmerman for murdering a black child blatantly prosecuted this black woman for standing her ground. For those who constantly cry about how these murders and convictions of black people and other people of color are not based on race is sadly mistaken and need to check this country’s track record when it comes down to the (mis) treatment, convictions and the unjust bloody lynchings of people of color in amerikkka. To deny the “race” factor fuels the tolerance for these kind of tragedies without really addressing the root of the problem thus sugarcoating it, leaving a nation of angry, restless folks repeatedly going in circles.
The “not guilty” verdict was just another reminder that there is no justice
for people of color in amerikkka. As long as white supremacy continues it racist rule
there will be nothing for us other than sin, suffering, slavery and death.
Amerikkka's colonizers never had the intention of co-existing with the red man, from
whom white invaders slaughtered and stole land from, nor the black man, who was
stolen from his OWN land and forced to come to the amerikkkan hells to
build an amerikkkan paradise for whites, while mother africa is in ruins due to white and "sellout" reign. That is why we are still catching
hell dealing wit poverty, mis-education and a unjust system created by
racists who pardons people like George Zimmerman and unfortunately, to slaughter people of color is no crime the in the white eyes of the white law.
