Im going to keep this short and sweet. The Trayvon Martin trial ended with George Zimmerman being found not guilty. I don't know all the details of what happened, but the part that people are really stuck on is the fact that Trayvon was 17 years old when he was killed... Now, I do not know, nor will I try to understand all that happened between George and Trayvon, but whatever happened happened, and Zimmerman is walking free... This is all I will say about it: I haven't nor will I give a shit about the trial, the life lost, the life misrepresented, or anything in that way... All I know is that the people who presented the case in representation did a great job with representing their client. This is why George Zimmerman is walking free right now. But with this whole thing. I don't care. I didn't care, and I still will not care... Why? Because there are more problems in this world than Florida and their fucked up judicial system. What about the real trouble that's going on in Brazil? What about things in Mexico? How about the community/town in South Africa that wants to remain segregated. How about how much taxes are being taken away from me and other blue-collard workers that work to our bones for what?! What about the fact that no one wants to blame society. What happened to the argument that music or video games make kids to be "bad." No one wants to see it as a "wrong place at the wrong time/product of society meeting of wills." We just want to see it as a white man getting away with murdering a black kid. GROW THE FUCK UP, AMERICA! There are more problems in the world... So yeah. I don't care... and if you care so much, then it might be time to get the fuck out of Florida, or just not go down there... But if you do, then just go and be you, and don't do anything to give you a bad wrap, or get you killed.
P.S. This is also a show of how and why the media is becoming useless... We have ESPN trying to whore out to America Yasiel Puig to be the fans choice for the All Star game... We have people on [name your favorite news media outlet] force feeding us one side of every story that passes their desks. We want to get mad and say that "justice was not served" when justice did exactly what it was suppose to... This is what happens when you vote these people in. So, think about that... Another thing that pisses me off is how, all of a sudden, all these celebs have something to day, and they are all trying to out twitter each other. No one cares about your celeb fed opinion... just shut the fuck up and play ball. Also, as a black man, I don't care... I made it through the early 90's. I REFUSE to go back there, and start trying to cry "racism." What needs to happen is that everything needs to change... but until then, I am going to lay my fat ass down, because I have worked long and hard all day. goodnight.
