PEOPLE FORGET

 People forget. Zimmermann was told to stand down from following Trayvon by police - and he did not comply. Apparently it's only important to comply when you're Black.


Trayvon called his best friend and told her that some cracka-assed cracka was following him.


He gave a blood curdling cry for help that a voice examiner determined could have only come from a teen, before they found other 'experts' who said it could have come from a grown man.


The folk who freely called him a thug on your posts and mine, did they EVER apologize? Not one. NOT ONE!


This would not even have gone to trial if Sharpton had not staged a protest. The citizens there said that he wasn't the only one murdered in this way; the difference was that he wasn't from the area and the family balked at there not being a trial.


The racist judge stipulated that racial profiling could not be a factor in the trial, when most every Black person in america - and not a few white people - knew that if Trayvon had been 'Billy', this would never have happened. 


And yet the [defence] was allowed to go on and on about ground n pound and how once Trayvon got on top, he could have used a stone from the ground to bash in Zimmermann's head. (I put defence in brackets because everyone including the parents knew who was really on trial).


Both Jimmy Carter and Colin Powell backed Zimmermann with 'rule of law' and 'ground n pound' and they were never called to apologize.


The hero in this racist quagmire they called a trial was a chinese coroner of 19 years named Shiping Bao who determined that from the autopsy in his expert opinion, the lack of bruising showed that Trayvon could not have been engaged in any ground n pound on Zimmermann and the gunshot trajectory and residue was inconsistent with what Zimmermann claimed.


The [prosecutor] and the [judge] refused to allow Shiping's testimony and according to Shiping, he was warned to go along with the racist narrative. 


When he came out with the truth of his findings, he was fired. He found employment elsewhere, commenting that he would miss the sunny weather but not the racial climate.


But what burns me the most is how the same people (even some black people) diss Zimmermann now, but NEVER acknowledge where they stood then. Pitiful.


And these same 'misguided' folk are deluded about policing policy changes; you can't fix what's broken through better training, bodycams, personal insurance and civilian oversight.


Police trained and hired from the community and answerable to the community is the ONLY solution.


Can't wait 'til we have our own media. Everything changes.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION Decades ago, in my teens, my oldest brother and I had a talk where I said, “Can you believe that they’re having another gay pride parade?” He told me that he participated in a gay pride parade. Then we just stared at one another - and because many don’t know how to communicate without language, I will translate: Me: (But you’re not gay) Him: (True, but our struggle is their struggle and theirs is ours) Me: (Hmmm. Now I have to rethink everything because this is my brother whom I love challenging my core beliefs). I was persuaded that day. Today, my brother is long dead but I’m still reposting. That’s called CONVICTION.

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

 So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons?  Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth!  Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...
