    Trayvon Martin Case

    Racial tension and gun violence has been present throughout the history of the U.S., but it has recently been given a spotlight in the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The young African American teenager was visiting his father and went out to the gas station to buy food, while on his way back, he felt like he was being watched and followed. After he decided to run, Trayvon was "confronted, shot, and killed near [the home he was residing in]." Gunman, George Zimmerman, frequently notified the police on many accounts. He supposedly noticed someone "suspicious" in his neighborhood, and Trayvon Martin happened to be that suspicious individual. His murder was evidently a hate crime, due to all the police reports that state that a majority of the suspected individuals Zimmerman spotted were black males. This case acted as a stimulus for people to reunite and attempt to make some change. Many people began losing trust in the system and acknowledging the…

    The Trayvon Martin Case

    Coming from someone who you can easily catch walking around with a drink and candy in hand while wearing a hoodie on I have never once thought I might look suspicious and end up murdered from these actions. Luckily, I am white and not the main attraction for suspicious activity as those who are black. This common assumption really bothers me, because there are bad people out there and there are good people as well, but the color of their skin doesn’t define if you’re good or bad. Trayvon Martin never showed any suspicious behavior to proceeded Zimmerman to think he was about to partake in a violent crime. Crime is a violation of a norm that has been codified into law. No matter, what the ruling was there is no way to go around the fact that…

    Black Lives Matter: The Black Liberation Movement

    As one of the largest grassroots movements in the country, Black Lives Matter is a reaction to the dehumanization of Black people, a call to action against societal and institutional racism, as well as a rebuild of the narrow, conventional liberation movements that too often marginalized women, queer, trans, disabled and undocumented immigrants from within the movement. As such, it does not limit its scope to the alarmingly high poverty, incarceration and extrajudicial killing rates, but it includes grievances specific to those that usually take the back seat in those movements. Black Lives Matter calls for society as a whole to end racial discrimination, to acknowledge the contribution of Black people to it, but also for Black folks and their…
