Who really killed Trayvon
Martin? We know that George
Zimmerman, who had the nerve to say he
thought black folks owed
him an apology, and who also said that he would do it all over again
because killing an innocent unarmed black teenager was “God’s will,” pulled the
trigger. (For the life of me, I cannot
stop equating him with the Polish nobleman in the movie Maverick whose
greatest desire in life was to kill an Indian(substitute black for Indian). But did Zimmerman act alone, or was he merely
a tool of a much larger conspiracy? Who
is responsible for cheapening the life of young black males to the extent that
they created George Zimmerman? Who
really killed Trayvon Martin?
Could the real perpetrator
have been the justice system in America?
You know, the one that would never have arrested Zimmerman in the first
place, had it not been for the public outcry, and that subsequently prosecuted
Zimmerman with the kind of zeal found usually in a child being forced to eat
his vegetables. We’re talking about the
same justice system that sentenced Marissa Alexander, a black woman, to TWENTY YEARS in prison for firing a WARNING SHOT to
keep her abusive husband- a man against who she had a protective order- at
bay. Apparently, Ms Alexander did far more
harm to the air into which she fired, than Zimmerman’s shot did to young
Martin.
Ms. Alexander’s case has
become something of a cause célèbre and I pray she finally receives some sort
of justice. But what about Chyvas Peoples? He received thirty years for defending
himself with a pen knife against a vicious attack by EIGHT gang members. The list of injustices against black folks is
far too long to enumerate here.
Who really killed Trayvon
Martin?
Was it the media that has
demonized Black folks in general and Black males in particular to the extent
that Zimmerman could feel justified in profiling and killing Trayvon? During hurricane Katrina the images of blacks
were so distorted that the National Guard that was sent to rescue people wanted
to shoot the black folks who ran toward them for help. Of course this demonization of black males
goes all the way back to slavery as a means of justification for the rape
of black women.
Who really killed Trayvon
Martin?
Could it have been the almost
countless black thugs/zombies who have been so dehumanized by society that they
see no value in human life and shoot into crowds of young black folks hoping to
kill somebody, thereby further devaluing
black life?
Perhaps it was the Powers That
Be who created these black thugs/zombies by building urban reservations (commonly
referred to as Projects) –high rises separated from the rest of society by
expressways and railroad tracks where poor people were heaped on top of each
other until an inevitable subculture of violence and indifference to human
life emerged. Once a sufficient
incubation period for this subculture had elapsed, the results of these
Frankenstein styled experiments were unleashed upon the rest of the city. (I’m
speaking of Chicago, now). The result
has been mayhem so profound that the local media doesn’t even bother to name
the victims after bloody weekends. They
just give out the figures, Twelve killed,
sixty wounded over the weekend, even further devaluing black life.
Who Really Killed Trayvon Martin?
Could it have been the
financial community that disinvests in the Black community? Or the educational system that consistently
leaves a child behind.
Who Really killed Trayvon Martin?
Mr. Griggs, You've identified a lot of likely suspects. I'd only add the NRA and state legislators who advocate making concealed carry permits readily available and enact stand-your-ground legislation that promotes deadly force as a reasonable method for resolving conflict. We have to take state elections as seriously as we take federal elections.

Phil, couldn't agree with you more. Of course, there are so many who are culpable, I would have had to write an entire book to list them all. Thanks for your insightful comment.
ReplyDeleteWell stated Bill. If the DOJ does not pursue Zimmerman or the Sanford PD then add them to your list.
ReplyDeleteIf not perpetrators then certainly accessories before and after the fact. The demonization of this young boy that is being published in the main stream press is scandalous. His school records are not part of the public domain. His cellphone was private. Yet this so-called evidence is being trotted out daily to slander his memory. The only purpose in making these private facts public is to slander him.
ReplyDeleteThe real killer that actually pulled the trigger had an actual police record. He had an actual problem with domestic violence, and if his cousin is to be believed he had a problem with black people just as his mother and father do. RIP Trayvon.
