I need to agree with you completely. Comparing the two cases is like comparing 911 to the shoe bomber.
Trayvon was wrongly killed by a single idiot. The police follow up was weak but in the end it is being pursued.
In Emmett's case a nation is shamed. The deed carried out by a number of racist garbage people and then futher insult the justice system corrupt and broken facilitated the butchers.
What one of my brothers would see is an hospital administrator, a lawyer, a fireman, a delivery driver, or a social worker. They are kind, gentle, intelligent men who are defined more by who they are on the inside instead of what is on the outside. The stigma is to a degree born from within. You can either chose to embrace the best of yourself or adopt the lesser being that can be seen in the shallow view of idiots. You do not ever have to be a self-fulfilling prophecy of others' portrait of black men.
Just like way too many killings, are you saying they are all like Emmett Till? There are also plenty of examples where the races are switched.
The Trayvon Martin case is one of two people who made very poor choices and one suffered mortal consequences. It wasn't murder but the guy still shouldn't have been able to walk away. I feel very sorry for Trayvon's family, their pain must be incredible and I think Florida needs to take a more careful look at its laws. But this was not about race. In this case, I honestly believe, had Trayvon been white the idiot still would have killed him. We just wouldn't have heard about it on the national news.
I never said or identified myself as a black hopeless but this is off topic, sadly. I'm saying how the Justice System is corrupt and racist towards black males and how we keep a blind eye to it or pretend like that's not true. Just pm me on that topic though and we'll discuss it

Like I said I'm discussing the Justice System and how history is repeating itself

"Don't hate the players, hate the game" that quote is what I mean by the "Justice System of America" look at the game that the Justice system is playing on it's citizens, black and white, but mainly black for obvious reasons, I'm also replying to Mathguy with this response

Nah, you need to read the links I provided and then comment on the Daniel Adkins case. Why the heck would I want to PM you when this is um....a discusssion forum and Adkins is completely on topic especially when USA today and other media sources have pointed to the similarities and the SYG laws involved..
It is completely parallel to the TM case, happened at the same time and under even more blatant circumstances. The black shooter gunned down the mentally handicapped man from the safety of his car, no contact was made whatsoever and the shooter claimed the guy had a pipe but none was found at the scene.
He was never charged.
Seriously dude, first you don't want to discuss it, then you just want to PM about it......sorry but you cannot hide from Daniel Adkins.
I don't see a problem with race relations in America. I see a problem with people who constantly use race as a scapegoat to blame something for their failure to succeed in life.
Trayvon's murder has nothing to do with my level of success in this society; what it does indicate is the sad fact that black life is still not valued by this society.

Oh I'm not hiding, it's just alot of replies to this one topic and Daniel Adkins will open up a whole new can, but hey I hear you.
Well put it like this, the government employs people into the CIA, FBI, DEA etc. for reasons just like this, so people like you and I will miss the bigger picture, The Willie Lynch letter is directed towards blacks but applies to the masses as a whole. This seems to be orchestrated along with Zimmerman to create mass hysteria and upheaval, but in a divided mass, if you get what I'm saying. The shooters in both these cases is what I consider government covert agents. And their plan seems to be working in full effect, to neutralize the mass, and especially black people. This is why I asked you to pm me because this is a vastly different topic, but its part of the bigger picture. All in all, I respect fairness, but this is a topic that will send this thread to a whole different direction
Because he was walking around in a hoodie with Skittles and ice tea at 7 p.m. in a neighborhood where he had family?

You're speaking truth man, but let's stay on topic if you don't mind, about the "Justice System" in America
Of course I am outraged. For ever youth killed is a wasted life that could have made a difference. I am outraged by an attitude that this is just how it is.
How do the weapons get in the hood? The gangbangers import them to the hood. The same is true of the drugs.
What gangbangers? Blacks don't own planes or have international connections. It's not the gangbangers who import anything anywhere?
