DO NOT VIOLENTLY PROTEST FOR THE WRONG CAUSE!!!!!


As an American we all have been given the right to do many things. Most importantly we have been given the right to vote. This right was given to us and  big number of us today still do not use this right, unless we "think" it matters. With that being said there is no reason to protest for a lost cause. 

The idea of George Zimmerman being acquitted is scary, not to a race but to the uneducated. Most don't understand Zimmerman went on trail and was acquitted through the same process every other criminal goes through in the state of Florida. He is not the first to be acquitted and he wont be the last if we don't understand the steps needed to be taken to make change. 

First we must use the one right that can change almost anything and that is to vote. We must then remember the ideas of a wise man known as Martin Luther King Jr and fight with peace and not with violence. And lastly we must understand that the issue at hand is not a race issue but a judicial issue and vote to have a voice to make a change. 

Instead of fighting for justice for Trayvon Martin we must learn from what has happen and make change for the future. We cannot take away any mans rights including George Zimmerman. I do not defend him in anyway but i do know that i am saddened by his acquittal just like anyone else. I have been attacked on social media and attacked verbally in  public settings because people don't understand or respect my opinion. I feel the same way everyone else does but for different reason.

With that being said please  DO NOT VIOLENTLY PROTEST FOR THE WRONG CAUSE!! 

Below is a song i find very inspirational and fits well with "our" (a nation) situation.

What we dont realize about the Zimmerman Trail


So I know most people will judge me before reading the whole post but I'm gonna ask that you read the entire article before you make your opinion about mine. So in my eyes Zimmerman should go to jail but lets focus on the real situation and not what people want it to be. The media has turned the trail of one mans mistakes into an entire movement. We focus on the difference in race and the irrelevant bad doings of this young man before he was killed instead of focusing on the main fact. A man shot another man who was unarmed. 
At the end of the day this man made a mistake and he should pay for it. The family of Trayvon should want and receive justice for their loss. The attention that the family and all other black activist have brought to this trail in my eyes is ruining their hopes of justice. It is 2013 and the only thing we can seem to think and constantly say is that a black young man was shot and killed by a "white man". 
We have to learn eventually that the race card has to end. Any situation involving any race lighter than ours always boils down to our difference as people at the end of the day. We don't realize how much damage we are doing without paying attention to the actual facts. I really hope people will listen and understand that as a race we cant move forward if we don't let go of the past. The past that half of the people out here who are preaching for the know nothing about. 
I hope this ends with justice for this family and we as a race learn from this.
