We have Invisible Children too.


I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. But based on news reports, Mr. George Zimmerman should be arrested for the shooting death of Tayvon Martin. Mr. Zimmerman should be given all rights and privileges that the United States Constitution provides, which include due process. (This feels like Emmett Till all over again).

My apology to the Invisible Children organization. I patterned the graphic after the very successful Stop Kony 2012 campaign. It might be unfair to compare Zimmerman to a war criminal, but in the broader scope, America has been waging war against young black males for the last 200 years... Ironically this is not a race issue. Quite to the contrary, it is a class issue. Young African-American Males are an endangered socio-economic class. They've even shoot themselves. Its time to end the violence against black men (and women). Stop the war against African Americans.

 

We must never forget. How many times have you heard that expression used? Whenever there's been a tragic and devastating event, we American vow that we will never forget. The Alamo, Pearl Harbor, 9-11... Read this CNN special report by Isabel Wilkerson, tell your children about what yyou read and NEVER forget!
