Sybrina Fulton, Her Son Jahvaris, And Some Unrelated Guy Named “Fruit”, Represent Modern African Americans On The Cover of Ebony Magazine…
Posted on August 8, 2013 by sundance

I wonder if the other people who are sharing the cover of Ebony Magazine know that Jahvaris Fulton is the son of Sybrina Fulton, and not her ex husband Tracy “Fruit” Martin, who has fathered 4 or 5 other kids by other women; some while married to the prior child’s mothers.

Then again, now that I think about it, the “We are Trayvon” catch phrase probably does attach aptly to most of the group claiming such a descriptive as their commonality.

In order to be “like Trayvon” a person would have to be:

• Violent (worship thug and street gang culture)
  
• Kicked out of school (after missing 53 days with 2 prior suspensions)
  
• Kicked out of their home (after threatening to kill mom)
  
• Have no stable family (live with aunts, uncles, step moms etc)
  
• A known drug user (Marijuana, DXM, and Sizzurp/Lean)
  
• A known burglar (Prior diverted criminal arrests)
  
• A Criminally diverted failed student (Miami-Dade School Police)
  
• An illegal gun owner (With Dad showing best way to get)

So when you see magazine covers saying “We Are Trayvon” the best approach is probably to say: Yep,…. and, quite frankly, that might just be the problem.

Obama........"Trayvon Wasn't Perfect"

Hiya taurus and SheStone!

Thanks for the info. I'll move those to Shellie's thread.

Always baffles me why they say manslaughter should have been the charge, for manslaughter was the lessor charge available to the jury ...NOT GUILTY.

..."I think all of us were troubled by what happened," Obama told Leno. "Any of us as parents can imagine the heartache that those parents went through. Now it doesn't mean Trayvon was a perfect kid, none of us were — as we were talking offstage — when you're a teenager, especially a teenage boy, you're gonna mess up. And you won't always have the best judgment."

A teenagers judgment reflects how they learned to judge, be it the result of learning from those responsible for that teenager and/or the absence of the lessons necessary.


"...We all know young African-American men disproportionately have involvement in criminal activities and violence for a lot of reasons," the president told Leno. "And that's no excuse, but what we also believe in is people, everybody, should be treated fairly and the system should work for everyone. And so what I'm trying to do is just make sure that we have a conversation and that were all asking ourselves, Are there some things we can do to foster better understanding? And to make sure we don't have laws in place that encourage the kind of violent encounter that we saw there that resulted in tragedy."

So this case was a perfect opportunity for a "conversation" about how "African-American men" are not "treated fairly" and the "system" is unfair and we just don't "understand" them and the "laws...encourage [the] violent encounter" Trayvon experienced ...which he specifically identified there?


"Work it babe!"
Laura San Giacomo in Pretty Woman

While it may be true that black males are nor treated fairly in the justice system it may be because of the disproportionate number of black men in the justice system.

And that conversation has no ending.

Yes: teach your kids not to assault people.



Why, yes: the laws against assault and battery tend to discourage the type of assault and battery that Martin committed against Zimmerman; and the laws justifying the use of deadly force in self-defense tend to discourage the type of wanton violence Martin exhibited in that assault.

Sort of, I think, kbp.

For example, laws or policies that allow a law enforcement agency to not enforce laws but instead refer suspected criminals to a diversion program, that isn't really a program so much because it has no consequences or real paper trail, encourage criminals to keep committing crimes. In fact, such an individual, especially if they're very young, may feel invincible and feel like they can do anything they like to anyone else because they're "special" - even viciously attack a law-abiding citizen and bang their head into concrete and hard ground.

Also, laws that allow parents to neglect their children to the degree they miss 53 days of school without any intervention, or even worse if part of those days are multiple school suspensions, also encourage these parents to continue to neglect their kids until they end up attacking an armed citizen and getting shot when they won't stop beating the law-abiding citizen.

I could go on but I think you get my his point.

Hiya, BertaBlue! Welcome to RT.

Very, very true, no ending because the conversation keeps going until the unending list of demands is met.

This is from the Tiger Bay Club speech, ICYMI, and because it's fun to watch MOM talk about not letting Corey get away with her unethical behavior! It's the video mentioned yesterday (I think) where MOM is quoted as saying he's going through the entire trial to look for all violations.

In a similar vein, from last month, ICYMI, and because it's fun to watch:

Deroy Murdock hits the nail squarely I believe, when he said she "jumped on the bandwagon." The liberal consensus is Barry is The One, hang on for the ride. It's a crying shame she's knowingly playing this game with George being the actual victim ...a victim of her.

Interesting Obama should even hint that Trayvon wasn't perfect. Is it possible the DOJ and FBI told him some "secrets" about Trayvon? Of course, Obama then proceeded down the excuse road, never looking back...

Mentioned at the 3 minute mark. I'm not sure MOM has much more on Corey than her calling George a "murderer," that is unless her fall guy Bernie or any others on the prosecution team step forward to ID what she can be held responsible for.
