I just found this pic online.
But it does state the truth, if it's only at 80%.
The shooting of Trayvon Martin, everyone would say that isn't right. A young teen unarmed, called 911, was hunted down and shot down, in his own gated community where he was supposed to be safe.
There's something wrong with this.
This is just another case of social injustice. And I'm not just talking about a hate crime, or just posting this because it was a black teen that was murdered. Social injustice is everywhere. Just a case this extreme makes you see it more than ever.
There is a guy on channel 11 wpix news that had a commentary on this (i'm so sorry I just forgot your name..I'll edit the post once I remember)
He said his piece on it, and even though he has blonde hair and blue eyes, he said, and please don't quote me on this.
Before he mentioned anything about it, he dug into the facts and then came on the air with a cool and calm head and while he was looking for facts about the case and why Trayvon Martin was shot, the more he found out and realized that George Zimmerman was more of a culprit.
He ended by saying if the rolls were switched, and it was a black man that did the shooting, they would had been locked up, unable to walk free, and people would be looking for the death penalty. So why isn't the same going on for this case?
This is about a black teen being shot down
This isn't about a black teen about being shot down at the same time.
When I walk through New York City, there are some areas that are really chill and the people are easy going. However, if you look at the entire population of NYC, that's only about 10- 15%. The rest of the people fall into the belief of stereotypes, and their own personal fears. And this isn't just from one race. I'm talking about how it comes from all directions. Asians, Blacks, Europeans, American Indians, Beigan, Thai, Italian, etc... You name it, it's coming from that direction.
Maybe it years of programed generations, maybe it's a culture clash. Or maybe it's pure ignorance.
People are starting to rally about Trayvon Martin by wearing hoodies, and making a statement doing so. And the point is clear, social injustice... we should all be beyond that.
While that is going on, people are rallying about "Occupy Wall Street", but when I asked several protesters what they are protesting, no two people gave the same answer.
It's time to stand up for what is right.
At some point, especially if you live in NYC, you have been a victim of social injustice. Now while everyone complains about it, the question is what are you going to do about it.
It's time for a solution.
It's time for POSITIVE change.
