| Entertainer gets a Trayvon Martin tattoo. |
A few days ago, I peeped the internet for celebrity news agitation. Once in a while, I happen to stumble across that Compton rapper who always seems to have a message to the latest events tatted somewhere on his body.
The Game (Jayecon Taylor) is very active in the studio and follows the news wires on the latest issues in America. The rapper is preparing for reality television and wants to record his sixth album.
Last year he released J3sus Piece (Jesus Piece) on Interscope and featured Big Sean, Lil' Wayne, Tyga, Future, Young Jeezy. J. Cole and Jamie Foxx.
It attracted controversy because it depicted the rapper as Jesus of The Nazareth being a Blood member.
The Turd Flipper and the rapper traded insults online and the public sector. This will piss her off again.
Well the rapper wanted to show solidarity towards most of Black America. We're still pissed over the George Zimmerman verdict.
Last month, "We Black Folk" didn't loot and riot! Squashing the dreams of the racist right. They've predicted "us Black folk" would riot and loot if George Zimmerman would walk free in the shooting and killing of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

Many of "us Black folk" were concerned that we would react violently to the decision. Of course the racist right wanted to make the case for Chris Lane by claiming the teenagers who killed him were "flaming hot racists" mad over the decision and every Black on White crime has to be "for Trayvon".
The racist right may chant all the stories in the world about Black criminals. That's fine.
But it hasn't stop the March On Washington. It didn't stop the president from expressing his concerns about how Whites picture "us Black folk" as "natural born criminals". It didn't stop people like The Game from recording songs about Trayvon Martin or even showing an ounce of support.
See the entertainer is a father too and his children could be the next Trayvon.
Artistic Element’s Roman Abrego – the tattoo artist for rapper and reality TV show star The Game –shared through Instagram video The Game’s new tattoo. It shows Martin’s hooded photo in permanent ink on his leg. The hooded picture of Martin has been a sign of symbolism at different protests, where many wore one dedicated to the victim.
Other entertainers have also been paying their respects to Martin. During her show in Tennessee, Beyonce asked concertgoers for a moment of silence after the jury came back from deliberation. Rapper Young Jeezy released a song “It’s A Cold World” as a tribute to Martin.
The fatal shooting of the 17-year-old Martin on Feb. 26, 2012 in Sanford, Fla. became one of the most controversial trials of the year.\
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood-watch volunteer who fatally shot Martin in the altercation, was acquitted by a jury of second degree murder and manslaughter charges last month. The reaction to the verdict led to protests and marches of people contesting the “stand-your-ground” law, which is a type of self-defense law that gives someone the right to use deadly force to defend themselves.
While the Martin family, famous politicians and protesters fight to have the “stand-your ground” law removed, others are using their entertainment status to make a difference.
Did you know that someone created a game based off the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman situation?
A person created an Android phone app that created a scenario in which the thug kills White people. The app was pulled after a huge backlash.
The Game appears on Interscope Records.
