I write journals on my computer and I thought I would finally take the time to share this one.

 First and foremost I will like to begin by saying that this is scary, ignorant and disgusting. This happens every day, but now we have a face to what is happening to the black men in this country. I’m appalled at the fact that Zimmerman is a free man, when months before a black man Troy Davis was not given a fair chance at proving his innocence for killing a white police officer, he was denied appeals, denied and dened, because once again there is black injustice. But Zimmerman a white watch man is walking freely for killing a young teen, with all the evidence pointing to him no doubt, because it was self defense. CRAP. He wasn’t questioned or investigated thoroughly. There was no real concern for Trayvon martin because his body sat in the morgue 3 days before anyone in his family was aware. He had his cell phone and his father and step mother lived in that neighborhood and yet no one was aware. Do we see the problem here? This is sad. How many black John Doe’s are there just pushed aside in a morgue? Why did this happen? Now on top of black men fearing their lives I have to fear for my black men too. My brothers, significant others, uncles, cousins and future children. I have to think about him every second to worry about this on top of other obstacles! My black man has to be a slave once again in this country. I have to be scared for him too. This is no way to live. This country is plagued and we people in this country don’t want to talk about what is right in front of us every day until it hits mainstream. Zimmerman represents his population as a whole, there may be whites who say “I’m not racist” but underneath there is a stereotype or underlying fear of blacks so let’s be real we will never be free from this. Saying you’re not racist does not prove that you are not, that sentence means nothing. What happened to Trayvon is real and it is recurring. Black men and people be aware, fight this. The stereotypes of the hoodies and the black man is also irrelevant. Why is there suspicion over a hoodie? White males wear hoodies. How do you feel about a white male in a hoodie? Would my stereotype of a white man be that they drive pickup trucks and carry shot guns in the back? Should I be suspicious and scared of every white man in a pickup truck? When they show brinks commercials they show a white male in hoodies kicking in doors. Dark hair wild eyes, so I should look out for this carry a gun and shoot them? Would I be walking freely? More than likely not. This issue is hate. MINORITY AND WHITE HATE. There needs to be change and awareness. I feel that in this case justice for Trayvon will not be served. I am sorry that that’s the sad truth.
