My beef with allyuh is de bandwagon mentality, some members claiming it’s not ah RACE thing but we all know if this was white on white or black on black. You and the media won’t be talking about it.

From the little I know about the case the man will be charged, but the police is taking their time and getting all their ducks in ah row. They should not rush to judgment an FACK up the case just to please people on FB, IMIX or the Rev Al. today the Obama justice department said it will take them WEEKS to investigate, but they won’t arrest anyone until their investigation is DONE. Wonder if anyone will march on the white house because Eric “the gun runner “Holder is taking too long?

You are being a cunnyhole of epic portions on this. What ppl are upset about is the cops initial investigation and or the lack there of.

Ditto...Some people out there just for being out there. I just want the family to be careful in all this. They are seeking justice but I just hope them and their situation is not used to forward someone else's selfish agenda.

So its not about hypocrisy...fear for your family will turn anyone into an activist.

Objection....speculation...

But seriously this incident hit me close to home too. As it does for lots of people who have teenagers and immediate family in that age group. But there are a ton of incidents that should and do hit home to many people and they garner no such support.

All I will say is that there are a LOT of opportunists in this world. Some are monetary, some are disruptive, some are peaceful and forthcoming, some seek publicity and attention and some are violent. I just don't want the family to be taken advantage of by these opportunists. They have been through enough already.

It's being used all over. People have been critical of this law since it's been passed.

No one wants to see a kid (especially one that cause no trouble) go out like that. I just think it's pure emotion fueling the fire. And everyone wants an answer but right now, no one accepts the answer from the police and that's fine. And heads will roll over it and next election here in Florida I'm sure it will be on the ballot.

You have to understand how power is distributed here in Florida. Fact that most of the "minorities" are scattered in metropolitan areas (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville). There are a ton more representatives in Florida than just the ones from that area. You have to understand demographics to see why certain things are passed in Florida.

I will never look suspicious to you. Even if I have a black hoodie, a pair of jeans and white sneakers on...in fact, that is what I wore yesterday...I still will never look suspicious. No matter how much the hoodie covers my face or how baggie my jeans are, I will never look out of place to you. I will never watch a taxi cab pass me by to pick someone else up. I will never witness someone clutch their purse tightly against their body as they walk by me. I won't have to worry about a police car following me for two miles, so they can "run my plates." I will never have to pay before I eat. And I certainly will never get "stopped and frisked." I will never look suspicious to you, because of one thing and one thing only. The color of my skin. I am white.

I was born white. It was the card I was dealt. No choice in the matter. Just the card handed out by the dealer. I have lived my whole life privileged. Privileged to be born without a glass ceiling. Privileged to grow up in the richest country in the world. Privileged to never look suspicious. I have no guilt for the color of my skin or the privilege that I have. Remember, it was just the next card that came out of the deck. But, I have choices. I got choices on how I play the hand I was dealt. I got a lot of options. The ball is in my court.

So, today I decided to hit the ball. Making a choice. A choice to stand up for Trayvon Martin. 17 years old. black. innocent. murdered with a bag of skittles and a bottle of ice tea in his hands. "Suspicious." that is what the guy who killed him said he looked like cause he had on a black hoodie, a pair of jeans and white sneakers. But, remember I had on that same outfit yesterday. And yes my Air Force Ones were "brand-new" clean. After all, I was raised in hip-hop...part of our dress code. I digress. Back to Trayvon and the gated community in Sanford, Florida, where he was visiting his father.

I got a lot of emails about Trayvon. I have read a lot of articles. I have seen a lot of television segments. The message is consistent. Most of the commentators, writers, op-ed pages agree. Something went wrong. Trayvon was murdered. Racially profiled. Race. America's elephant that never seems to leave the room. But, the part that doesn't sit well with me is that all of the messengers of this message are all black too. I mean, it was only two weeks ago when almost every white person I knew was tweeting about stopping a brutal African warlord from killing more innocent children. And they even took thirty minutes out of their busy schedules to watch a movie about dude. They bought t-shirts. Some bracelets. Even tweeted at Rihanna to take a stance. But, a 17 year old American kid is followed and then ultimately killed by a neighborhood vigilante who happens to be carrying a semi-automatic weapon and my white friends are quiet. Eerily quiet. Not even a trending topic for the young man.

We've heard the 911 calls. We seen the 13 year old witness. We've read the letter from the alleged killer's father. We listened to the anger of the family's attorney. We've felt the pain of Trayvon's mother. For heaven's sake, for 24 hours he was a deceased John Doe at the hospital because even the police couldn't believe that maybe he LIVES in the community. There are still some facts to figure out. There are still some questions to be answered. But, let's be clear. Let's be very, very clear. Before the neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, started following him against the better judgement of the 911 dispatcher. Before any altercation. Before any self-defense claim. Before Travyon's cries for help were heard on the 911 tapes. Before the bullet hit him dead in the chest. Before all of this. He was suspicious. He was suspicious. suspicious. And you know, like I know, it wasn't because of the hoodie or the jeans or the sneakers. Cause I had on that same outfit yesterday and no one called 911 saying I was just wandering around their neighborhood. It was because of one thing and one thing only. Trayvon is black.

So I've made the choice today to tell my white friends that the rights I take for granted are only valid if I fight to give those same rights to others. The taxi cab. The purse. The meal. The police car. The police. These are all things I've taken for granted.

So, I fight for Trayvon Martin. I fight for Amadou Diallo. I fight for Rodney King. I fight for every young black man who looks "suspicious" to someone who thinks they have the right to take away their freedom to walk through their own neighborhood. I fight against my own stereotypes and my own suspicions. I fight for people whose ancestors built this country, literally, and who are still treated like second class citizens. Being quiet is not an option, for we have been too quiet for too long.

dude spear me you not as ignorant as you would like to claim. Had they not been and out cry or "million hoodie ghetto shit" as you claim all of those people would have just gone about their business.

Black people always do this shit, like other black have no business out crying an injustice. Look at how everyone is worship George Clooney for being some savior for bringing the plight of Sudanese to the forefront. How long have black political leader and other black individuals tried to highlight these atrocities. Dude get arrested and all of a sudden the issue is up again. It always take one incident to bring an issue to the forefront.

What happen to this kid was a horrible, and i respect everyone who is involved in the million "hoodie ghetto shit" for what ever personal gains that doesn't deter from the fact that their presence in some way shape of form helps brings attention to the issue.
