ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
President Obama thinks the American BLACK Community will eventually quiet down about Trayvon Martin's Death, like we did soon after Troy Davis' Wrongful Execution.
WRONG!
This time its different because Trayvon was a Child.
An Innocent BLACK Child!
Even Most White People Admit This Was Murder As A Result Of Racism.
WE ARE TIRED MR. PRESIDENT!
We Need Your Help, Your Support & Your Voice as a BLACK Man to Stand with Us!
This time its different!
We Want All Those RACIST “Stand Your Ground” Laws Repealed.
We Want The Unnecessary Racial Profiling To Stop!
We Won't Shut Up!
We Won't Forget!
We Won’t Stop Rising Up Until We Can Live Free In This Country Just Like All Other Ethnic Groups!
We Want Respect!
We Won’t Shut Up!
We Won’t Forget!
WE ARE TIRED! WE WANT OUR LIBERTY & WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
What the Devil meant for Evil, God is using to bring Positive Change for the American BLACK Community!
In 2011 Troy Davis' WRONGFUL Death sparked International Outrage about Racism & the Death Penalty.
In 2012 Trayvon Martin's WRONGFUL Death sparked International Outrage about Racism, Police Misconduct & Racial Profiling!
We are Tired of Our Young Men Dying like Animals for NO REASON when we should already be FREE!
Here we are living in the 21st Century & still being treated as if we are living in the 18th Century.
We Can't Even Walk Down The Street Or In Wal-Mart Without Being Followed Or Chased Like Animals.
And Our Slack, Scared BLACK "Leaders" have allowed us to be Mistreated this way for Decades to preserve their own Comfortable lives.
Well Guess What???
Its Over!
WE ARE TIRED!
WE WANT OUR LIBERTY!
WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
WE ARE FREE HUMAN BEINGS MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE!
NOT SLAVES!
NOT ANIMALS!
WE DON'T WANT CRUMBS!
WE DON'T WANT WELFARE CHECKS & FOOD STAMPS!
WE WANT EQUAL & FAIR OPPORTUNITIES!
WE WANT RESPECT!
WE WANT TO OWN BUSINESSES & PROVIDE ABUNDANTLY FOR OUR FAMILIES.
WE ARE TIRED!
WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
NO MORE OF OUR CHILDREN & YOUTH WILL DIE OR BE WRONGFULLY IMPRISONED BASED ON RACE.
NO MORE!
Trayvon Martin's & Troy Davis' Deaths Will NOT Be In Vain!!!

Scott Appoints New Prosecutor In Trayvon Martin Case
Florida Governor Rick Scott officially entered the Trayvon Martin murder investigation Thursday evening when he appointed Angela Corey as the newly assigned state attorney for the case and created a task force on citizen safety and protection.
Scott, and attorney general Pam Bondi, both talked with state attorney Norman Wolfinger Thursday and after the conversation Wolfinger decided to step down from the Martin investigation.
“This request is being made in light of the public good with the intent of toning down the rhetoric and preserving the integrity of the investigation,” Wolfinger wrote in his letter to the governor.
At the same time, Governor Scott also announced the formation of a task force while convene following the conclusion of the investigation by State Attorney Corey.
“As law enforcement investigates the death of Trayvon Martin, Floridians and others around the country have rightly recognized this as a terrible tragedy. Like all Floridians, I believe we must take steps to ensure tragedies like this are avoided.
After listening to many concerned citizens in recent days, I will call for a Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection to investigate how to make sure a tragedy such as this does not occur in the future, while at the same time, protecting the fundamental rights of all of our citizens – especially the right to feel protected and safe in our state,” Scott said in a statement.
Scott and other members of the GOP and the NRA have come under fire for Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law which George Zimmerman, the shooter of Trayvon Martin, is using as his defense.
Zimmerman claimed under the law, passed in 2005, that he was acting in self-defense when he shot Martin, 17. Zimmerman made the claim despite getting out of his truck and pursuing Martin after 911 dispatchers told him not to do so.
Scott’s task force will review the law and any other laws, rules, regulations or programs that relate to public safety and citizen protection, the governor’s office said Thursday.
The task force will be led by Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll and the Reverend R.B. Holmes, Jr. Legislative leaders and Bondi will recommend other members to join the task force.
CBC wants Trayvon Martin's death investigated as potential hate crime
The Congressional Black Caucus wants the Justice Department to investigate the shooting death of a 17-year-old, unarmed black Florida high school student as a potential hate crime.
“This case compromises the integrity of our legal system and sets a horrific precedent of vigilante justice,” Congressional Black Caucus Chair Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) said in a statement. “Members of the Congressional Black Caucus stand together in the name of justice for Trayvon. As a nation we cannot, should not, and will not ignore, Trayvon’s brutal murder and the inconceivable fact that his killer remains free. Contrary to the flippant way this case has been handled, his life had meaning and purpose. Trayvon had a family, friends and a future all taken away because of the color of his skin.”
George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain and criminal justice student in Sanford, Fla,. shot Trayvon Martin on February 26 as he was walking home from a neighborhood 7-11 to his father’s house. Before the shooting Zimmerman told a police dispatcher there was “a real suspicious guy” who looked “like he was up to no good or on drugs or something” in his neighborhood. He told the dispatcher Martin had “something in his waistband.” At the time, Martin was carrying Skittles and an iced tea he had just purchased. Against the dispatcher’s advice, Zimmerman pursued Martin on foot, and eventually shot him.
Zimmerman, who has not been charged with a crime, told police he was acting in self-defense after Martin started to fight him. The case has drawn national outrage, driven by an apparent history of racial bias by local police. A change.org petition asking for Zimmerman’s prosecution has drawn more than 420,000 signatures and an attorney for the Martin family has asked for an FBI investigation.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Trayvon Martin' s family. But obviously we're not going to wade into a local law-enforcement matter,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said when he was asked about Martin’s death at today’s briefing.
