The last few weeks there's been a lot of talk about this Trayvon (not sure of the spelling, and not going to look it up) Martin killing. Why? Yes, it was tragic that a seventeen year old boy was shot to death, but can't that be said in all such cases? The kid was black you say? I still don't understand the uproar. His killer was white? Now, I could have sworn he was hispanic.
Here's how I look at it folks. For quite a while, blacks have worked to receive equal rights under the Constitution (which I think they always had, but that's a story for another blog). Yet lately, it seems as though they believe they should be given special treatment under that same body of laws. No person, regardless of skin color, should receive special treatment under the law. Now, if it was a racially based hate crime, the distinction should be made. But that's for the police investigation to determine, not a bunch of racist, self-proclaimed preachers who are more interested in widening the racial divide than preaching the true message of their faith.
In all honesty, I think these asses that can't seem to get past the color of their own skin need to shut the fuck up, let the cops do their job, and let the evidence speak for itself.
By the way... what about all the other black boys and girls that get shot and killed every day? Why don't they get this kind of coverage?
Maybe it's because they weren't killed a month before one of the most politically charged Supreme court hearings of our time. Something to think about.
