THE SOUL OF AMERICA

Hello World...I reach out to you tody in reference of the horrific situation tha thas sent shockwaves through the country and has awoken the world.

Let me begin by saying that my heart ad condolences go out to the entore family of T Martin, expecially his parents. I can't even imagine the hurt, pain and shock that you are going through. I want you to know that we, as African american, Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers and Grandparents all sympathize with your loss. All of America should sympathize with you but there are those feeble-minded citzens who have no heart, that still seek to show the true colors of the underbelly of our society.

The shooting death of Seventeen year old Mr Martin was so sneseless and disrespectful that it is hard for me to string along enough positive energy to speak out to my people. The fact that another young, talented, support block brother lost his life in most viscious, heinous act of cowardance makes it hard to believe that this is 2012 and not 1912! It is a shame tha twas still have to endure this travesty in this day and age. What is even more disrespectful is th fact that the Samford, Floida, Police Department will not do it's job and make an arrest of the Coward George Zimmerman, who gunned a young Trayan Martin because he was wearing a hoodie and lookd like he was up to no good! Is that the criteria for someone to be taken away from there parents. It makes me sick to my stomach to even live in America!

The one million dollor question now is: Why isn't the shooter of this young black man in jail? Why do we as people of color have to scream, shout and protest to make the polie do their job? One person is dead, and no one is locked up! Where is the justice? Is thee to be no justice for young Trayan Martin?

The circumstances of this case is so sickening for a number of reasons, but the most glaring sickness is that Trayan Martin was *Black* and the punk, coward George Zimmerma was *White*

Come on America, this is 2012! Do we really have to dignify, the disease that is RACISM still, even today in this so-called great nation! I find it hard to believe that if the roles were reversed and young Mr Martin would have murdered Coward MS Zimmerman, we *All* know where young Mr Martin would be: Lockd up in a cell, with no bed. So why isn't the shooter behind bars? When he murdered in cold blood? I have the answer: Because they still don't value *our* life, the same way they value theirs.

We people, still mean nothing to them. They have even justified the killing as *Self Defence*. By now, everyone has heard the 9-11 tape, what this weak, community-neighbourhood watch guy said to the dispather who took the call. You have heard the confrontation that was oissued between victim and shooter.

Can you tell me at what point the Self-Defence dactor came into play? This was a premditated murder, committed by a 28 year old, racist who had a problem with a black man walking in a nice neighbourhood! You see waht *they* think of us.
