Trayvon Martin's Murder

Anyone, especially black folks, still trying to sell that bullshit that black folks always have to be twice as good as everyone else in order to be accepted/appreciated in (American) society need their heads examined.


We had 7+years of a black president (that many people never expected to see in their lifetime) who carried himself in a totally intelligent, respectful and dignified manner even more so than many white presidents or would be politicians and was still disrespected and treated like he was an illegitimate president despite being elected to TWO terms. What makes anyone believe that the average black person on the street who carries themselves in the same manner as Obama will be treated better? But America isn't racist....you just have to be the best......

 

hell they were calling idians savages but they were the ones killing for the land.

are we shocked?

 

Those of us with sense are not. Those who want to believe they are special snowflakes...whole other story.

 

lol
no doubt

 

What's funny is that a few years ago, George Zimmernann was shot by a White dude who knew him back awhile ago.

 

not that i think shooting anyone is funny in anyway, but damn. dude fucked up the job.

 

White dude didn't want the reputation of being the person who killed what passes for an "American Hero".

 

Like I had mentioned before, Trayvon Martin is going to hang around George Zimmermann like Banquo's ghost for the rest of his life. There is no way he will ever escape it. The pendulum of kharma swings in both directions.

 

If this case happened a few decades ago I bet George would have been shot dead as soon as he left the courthouse.

What sickens me more than anything is how George is basically considered a celebrity. Like he was rewarded indirectly with fame for killing TM.

 

He can't sell his gun on the internet. These sites are rejecting the ad. I doubt that even the magazine Soldier Of Fortune, which once had advertisements for mercenaries and para-military groups, would consider it. He's likely to make another appearance at a gun show because that's the only place where he could sell it. But, again, he won't get the price he wants.

 

They flashed something on the news here last night about it. It showed the page where it was taken off with the original bid he wanted at $5k and it showed a current bid of over $63K

 

Someone must either love guns that much, or is a racist of the highest order. Perhaps it is both.

 

Actually neither, the people bidding high amounts were fake bidders. They knew he wouldn't be able to find a serious buyer by skyrocketing the price (it went up to 65 million) the bidders had names like Racist Mcshootface (obviously a fake bidder)

Well that's something. It shows how much you can't trust the internet.

 

George Zimmerman Takes A Victory Lap Over Trayvon Martin’s Grave

By Leonard Pitts Jr.

It was not enough just to kill Sam Hose. No, they had to make souvenirs out of him.

Hose was an African-American man lynched by a mob of some 2,000 white women and men in 1899 near the town of Newnan, Ga. They did all the usual things. They stabbed him, castrated him, skinned his face, mutilated him, burned him alive.

Then they parceled out pieces of his body.

You could buy a small fragment of his bones for a quarter. A piece of his liver, “crisply cooked,” would set you back a dime. The great African-American scholar, W.E.B. DuBois, reported that Hose’s knuckles were for sale in a grocer’s window in Atlanta.

No, it wasn’t enough just to kill Sam Hose. People needed mementos of the act.

Apparently, it wasn’t enough just to kill Trayvon Martin, either.

Granted, it is not a piece of the child’s body that was recently put up for auction online by the man who killed him. George Zimmerman is offering “only” the gun that did the deed. But there is a historical resonance here as sickening as it is unmistakable.
Once again, a black life is destroyed. Once again, “justice” gives the killer a pass. Once again, there is a barter in keepsakes of the killing.

Sam Hose was not unique. People claimed hundreds, thousands, of trophies from the murders of African Americans. They kept bones. They kept sexual organs. They kept photographs of themselves, posed with mutilated corpses. It happened with the killings of Thomas Shipp, Abram Smith, Rubin Stacy, Laura Nelson, Claude Neal and too many more to count. So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised to see it happen with Trayvon.

And someone will say, yes, but isn’t there a lively trade in all sorts of murder memorabilia? One website alone offers a signed postcard from Charles Manson, a letter from Jeffrey Dahmer, pictures of Ted Bundy. So how is this different.?

Funny thing, though: All those men went to prison for what they did. Zimmerman did not. Initially, authorities couldn’t even bring themselves to arrest this self-deputized neighborhood watchman who stalked and shot an unarmed boy four years ago near Orlando.



Not that it mattered much when they did. Zimmerman went to court, but it was 17-year-old Trayvon who was on trial. A nation founded, rooted and deeply invested in the canard of native black criminality very much needed to believe Zimmerman’s improbable tale of self-defense, very much needed to find a way for the boy to be guilty of his own murder.

And so he was.

And the marketing of the gun that killed him by the man who pulled the trigger does not feel like simply another example of flagrantly bad taste. No, it feels like a victory lap on a dead boy’s grave. It feels like America once again caught in its own lies.

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal”? No we don’t.

“. . . with liberty and justice for all”? No there is not.

One is left breathless, not just with anger, not only with frustration, not simply with a sense of betrayal but also with a grinding fatigue at the need to, once again, ride out an assault on the basic humanness of African-American people.

Like Sam Hose, Trayvon Martin was “thing-ified,” made into something not his singular and individual self, made into an all-purpose metaphor, the brooding black beast glaring through the night-darkened window of American conscience. And like Sam Hose his murder is now commodified, made into a trophy for display in someone’s den.

African-American life is thereby — again — debased, and the nation, shamed. So when this thing is sold it really won’t matter who writes the check.

We all will pay the price.

 

This dude continues to act like he's a badass. Someone needs to deal him some serious street justice.

 

No, they don't. People need to ignore this motherfucker.

Killing Trayvon and going on trial for it was the best thing that ever happened to this piece of shit. He wants the media attention, and he would love nothing more than some stupid Negroes trying to take a run at him so that the can play the victim and get even more support from racists all over the country.

You know that this motherfucker has gone off of the deep end when even Bill O'Reilly thinks that he's despicable.

People just need to leave his ass alone and to let him keep pulling these stunts for publicity.

The more that he talks, the less socially acceptable it is for people to publicly support him or the verdict in his trial.
