WHAT.

Sorry, this shit with Trayvon was TOTALLY about race. I can’t with these pseudo-intellectual statuses about whatever. This has been going on for soooo many years (the blatant mistreatment of minorities in the judicial system) and finally it’s gotten to a national platform and instead of realizing this tragic reality people are taking to ignoring this country’s colorful history of racism, prejudice, misogyny, etc. I’m like actually mad. I don’t ever write anything like this because it’s stupid to open these cans of worms on here, but I’m surely ready to defend my staunch beliefs about this particular downright disappointment. Racism is alive and rampant. I’m glad Obama is president because at least it means there is a tiny shift in the minds of this country, but OMG he is not an indication of the complete eradication of institutional racism. Yes, horrible things happen to everyone everyday but if that’s to be the mentality behind the defense of Zimmerman it just seems plain ignorant and lazy. He deserved to be put in jail for shooting that poor boy. It’s appalling and embarrassing to be a citizen in this country enough as it is without this heartbreaking news. I really hope this isn’t the final fight and that he will wind up in jail. I’m standing with Trayvon and his family and I hope they and he get the justice he deserves. I also hope this country gets a gd clue.
