I promise this is the last time I will talk about this. I promise that because I hate hate the exposure the entire Zimmerman trial received.
Today one of the juriors, a woman who did not know anything about the shooting prior to the trial, was interviewed by Anderson Cooper. I am sure you could YouTube it to check my facts. The juror was crying during a majority of the interview, showing genuine emotion toward the entire ordeal. She told Cooper she didn't know that the case was so racially charged or such a media spectacle.
I have the following in my head based on these facts:
If a juror in the trial did not feel that this was a racial incident based soley on the facts presented by both the prosecution and defense HOW IN THE HELL DOES A MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY THINK THAT IT WAS?
If a juror in the trial was surprised that the case was having such intensive media coverage and national scrutiny then WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SO INTERESTED IN IT??
The jurors in the case were sequestered. Because she had not known about the trial prior and she could not watch the news she had NO CLUE what the media had been saying.
What I am saying is that without the MEDIA this would not even be a racial issue!
I have a couple issues with the media on this one. The biggest two are the following:
1. During the 20 day trial of Zimmerman 4 Chicago youths, younger than Travon, have been shot and killed in gang related incidents mostly. Of all 4 of those shootings there have been 0 arrests and 0 suspects named. This is not being constantly televised however because why? I feel it's because it's "ok" as long as it's not a white person shooting the African Americans. At least in the eyes of the media and apparently the nation at large. At least if the protests only against the Zimmerman trial are any indication of the nation's opinion. If every death isn't as important as Travon Martin's then isn't that profiling of a different kind?
My second problem is with the obvious issues with the younger generation of Americans. Last night the prosecution's star whiteness, travon's girlfriend, in an interview with Piers Morgan said that she had told Travon to run because Zimmerman was provably a gay rapist because they like to pray on children. WHAT?! I have known plenty of homosexuals and they are not at all known for praying on children NOR should they be categorized as rapists. They respect the laws about the laws of consent just like any other group of individuals and I feel honestly that more "heterosexual" males are guilty of attempting rape on other males. More likely because they are having severe issues with their sexuality. I am just speaking from my experience and knowing that a majority of the military's sexual assaults are actually male on male, despite the media portraying the military as unsafe for females. The gay community as a whole should really try to raise awareness to combat this. Also it is very unsettling that she thinks use of the n word is ok and that cracka or cracker is not a racial term. What are we teaching today's youth? It does not sound like acceptance or like they have any concept of history.
How about let's stop making a killing of a person something it is not. If every death by shooting does not have their killers entire trial televised the media is obviously guilty of one the very prejudice they claim to hate so much from Zimmerman. A man who a jury of women just claimed not guilty having heard nothing more than the evidence and testimony put forth. Do those women deserve to get death threats or have celebrities tell them to kill themselves??? Really?
Also America, self defense in Florida is still legal. For so many people to be threatening the life of Zimmerman and his family take note: he has already shown he will use deadly force to protect himself. Perhaps it's time to just let it go, lest more people die because of this hateful discrimination against a man who killed another man. The media made it about color. You who are making threats based on race are continuing that bias. Congratulations, if you hate Zimmerman because he was a racist, you too are in fact a racist. Look at the facts.
PROMOTE AND TEACH EQUALITY FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS REGARDLESS OF RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RELIGION, CREED, OR UPBRINGING.
Lets evolve people.
Rant complete.
