| The Trayvon Martin shooting isn't forgotten. Neither is the political debate over it! |
One year ago, Trayvon Martin was the unarmed teenager who was gunned down by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. This incident touched off a national debate on racial profiling and spurred tension in the political arena.
Liberals and civil rights activists were stating that Zimmerman should have let the police handle the matter and why would he even confront a suspect if he wasn't trying to look for trouble. They protested the Sanford Police and Florida governor Rick Scott for an investigation of this.
Conservatives and White supremacists were praising Zimmerman and blasting the media. They figured that since Zimmerman was looking out for the safety of his neighborhood and Martin was the first to attack, it was justified for Zimmerman to shot and kill the teenager.
It's been a while since I've talked about the tragedy. We here at Journal de la Reyna haven't forgotten about Trayvon Martin shooting. Again, George Zimmerman is innocent until proven guilty. He was charged with second degree murder. He and his wife were also was charged with perjury for lying about how much donations they've received for defense fund.
Trayvon Martin's parents are hoping that Zimmerman is charged and found guilty.
At best I would say that Zimmerman should be charged with involuntary manslaughter. The charge should carry him at least 10 to 20 years. But that's just my opinion on the matter.
Before we go into the fold, we have the screen captures of Todd Kincannon. This jackass was tweeting around the time of the Superbowl and he managed to take a dig at Trayvon Martin. This jackass claims this it's only "joke" and these stupid liberals can't take it!
Besides there's thousands of others who managed to get into the act of "blaming the victim!" And these people are in the news! Last year, I've talked about Sean Hannity's rushing to defend Zimmerman.
I've talked about white supremacists using this a recruitment tool and are threatening the family of Martin.
I've talked about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson sparking tensions.
I've talked about the New Black Panthers, a Black extremist group calling for "self-defense" and "a reward" for the head of George Zimmerman.
I've talked about Fox News ambulance chaser Geraldo Rivera saying that Trayvon Martin wearing a hoodie contributed to his death.
I've talked about the late Andrew Breitbart was trying to poke holes in the media's coverage. Aided by his friends Michelle Malkin and Matt Drudge, the story was pointing fingers at President Barack Obama and the Black civil rights leaders who meddled in this affair.
I've talked about the president saying that "if he had a son, he'll be like Trayvon". That statement poked the conservative and White supremacist bubble. Now anytime a Black person commits a crime or ends up in the news, these individuals online will toss a word salad using Trayvon and President Obama's name in vein.
I've talked about the situation even making it into the Republican debates. Perennial loser Mitt Romney didn't say a word about it. Perennial loser Ron Paul said the case "wasn't a slam dunk". Has been politicians Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum called the president a "race baiter" and a "snob" for injecting his opinion in the matter.
In other words, I will talk about Todd Kincannon rushing to Twitter stating that Trayvon Martin in his opinion being a "thug" and he deserving what he got.
Republicans continue to slide down that hole. The more they piss off the Black and Hispanic community the more likely they'll be energized to vote these suckers out of political office. In a state that just appointed its first Black senator, South Carolina continues to be a hotbed for racist themes.
| Todd Kincannon page was hacked by a cyberstalker and they stole some of his personal pictures. They created a phony profile in response to Kincannon attacking Trayvon Martin and the Black community. |
Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-South Carolina) was subjected to racial slurs and offensive themes during the Civil Rights Movement and a few years ago during the healthcare debate.
Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) and governor Nikki Haley were being slammed by conservatives.
Scott was previously a Congressman and he was appointed to replace DeMint. The conservatives knocked Haley for political correctness over principles.
Last year at the Republican National Convention, a South Carolina delegate made an offensive comment about a black camerawoman and threw nuts at her. He called her an animal! Another delegate went onto Facebook to make a "joke" about an escaped gorilla being a descendant of First Lady Michelle Obama.
This incident gets worse with the former GOP committee chairman doubling down and stated that it's his opinion and liberals shouldn't get "upset over the matter!"
Kincannon also says that being a conservative is a badge of honor.
Once again, this is for those slow ones in the bubble. Once you post something on the internet and it goes viral, it's there forever. That's probably why employers, government workers and sometimes family members warn others that what they do could end up making a situation worse.
The Republicans continues to have this issue with race, gender, sexuality, religion, political and economic standings. Black and Hispanics overwhelmingly voted for President Barack Obama over perennial loser Mitt Romney.
February marks the month of Whitney Houston's death and the Trayvon Martin controversy. Since their passing, conservative and White supremacists wasted no time attacking them and President Barack Obama.

To the Republican activist and others who think like him, he thinks that the Superbowl is too Black for his tastes and his mocking of Travon is a travesty.
