I Am Not Trayvon Martin

In the case of Trayvon Martin, justice was not served. Martin died in vein due to the racism and ignorance of the world that taught George Zimmerman that it was suitable for what he did. A man that is raised in a white society never seeing much black people and only getting an idea of black from the media and word of mouth causes so much racism. The state of Florida looks down on the black community for there so called thuggish and killer ways.

The clip that I watched was truth of how society is shaped today. From slavery times of America parents conditioned their children to fear black people as a whole. It was taught that blacks were at the bottom and that whites are better than them. It doesn’t help that there is black on black crime but where did it start. For example, a young black male being treated differently and hated all his life will look at another black male as a reflection on himself and feel the need to show him the same hatred he receives from the world. The sad part is society looks at so many differences in individuals instead of looking at the similarities. History tells us that the first fossil of an upright, two legged human by the name of “Lucy” was found in Ethiopia in 1974; she was found in a dried up lake. There is also a mitochondrial DNA analysis that was conducted on women from all over the world in the late 1980s. The analysis gives us the “Africa Eve” thesis that all modern humans could trace their ancestry to a single African female who lived about 150,000 years ago. This tells us that all men have a Y-chromosome that can be traced back to an African ancestor. This information proves that society is not in fact different but very similar so the judging by skin color and ethnicity should be irrelevant, but it’s not. Racism still exist, it may not be as blunt as the 400 years slavery my ancestors endured but it is here.

Humanities are all about how this world was brought about and I blame the people from
