"I Am Not Trayvon Martin" - powerful message from a 'middle class white girl'

[noiretextatique]

35. your parents were racists, but you chose not to be a racist

and i am sure you had the option to be one, didn't you? you made a choice. and yes, this young lady could have also given in to the fear and hatred this society continues to spoon-feed those who are willing to accept it (faux new, limbaugh, etc.) hell...i could have become a radical NOI member, but i chose not to. zimmerman targeted, stalked, and murdered a young black man. i find it hard to believe he did that because the boy was wearing a hoodie. i think he did it because the boy was black. zimmerman may have some black friends, but i believe he profiled, stalked, and murdered Trayvon because he was black. and honestly...in america, that is not really a far-fetched notion. if he killed him in 1952 instead of 2012, the only people who would be crying foul would be the black community. it probably wouldn't even have made the national news. and no one would be surprised that zimmerman was not arrested. and if by some miracle he was arrested and put on trial, and all white jury would probably acquit him. and in that respect, we have not grown very much as a nation. if he is ever arrested and charged, and all-white jury might acquit him in 2012.
