Making sure the tragedy and impact of the Trayvon Martin case doesn’t fall by the wayside, Ebony Magazine has dedicated four separate covers in September, to the ‘We Are All Trayvon’ movement with hopes of finding solutions on how we can protect and “Save Our Sons.”

For the main cover, Trayvon’s family including his father Tracy Martin, mother Sybrina Fulton, and brother Jahvaris Fulton pose together, while celebrity fathers like Dwyane Wade, Boris Kodjoe, and Spike Lee pose on in grey hoodies with their sons for the three additional covers.

Inside, Ebony explores different ways to stop gun violence and repealing the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law, while featuring a prayer from Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Our groundbreaking September 2013 issue will explore concerns around racial bias, how to find solutions for those concerns and how to heal and move forward.http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2013/08/september-issue-of-ebony-dedicated-to-trayvon-martin-racial-bias/

If anyone thinks this is going away, you're wrong, big time.

Her it comes ...

[Mister D]

You can whine all you want. Trial is over. Deal with it.

[zelmo1234]

I have some suggestion.

#1 Keep them off Drugs

#2 keep them in school and demand that they do well

#3 find them work even if that work is volunteering, teach them solid work ethic

#4 Closely monitor there friends and weed out the bad seeds.

#5 Do not give them too much idle time

#6 Pray and when you are done pray some more!

#7 Live the life that you would choose for them, do not drink and party and live off the government and expect them to do differently

Do these 7 things and all of your children, red, yellow, black or white will be much safer!

[Chris]

But didn't his daddy, Obama, already change America?

#2 keep them in school and demand that they do well

#3 find them work even if that work is volunteering, teach them solid work ethic

#4 Closely monitor there friends and weed out the bad seeds.

#5 Do not give them too much idle timeAgreed on all of these.


#6 Pray and when you are done pray some more!That's part of the message. Correctly or not, a lot of black families in
America right now honestly believe that in today's world, if you're
black, and your children ever go out by themselves, you'd best hope
that God is on their side, because plenty of people aren't. For no
other reason than race. That problem remains.


#7 Live the life that you would choose for them, do not drink and party and live off the government and expect them to do differently

Do these 7 things and all of your children, red, yellow, black or white will be much safer!Time for a moment of meaningful levity.

Well then Yeah! He SHOULD have been shot.....

[Singularity]

@Singularity (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=823) I'm pretty sure he was doing lean on the night of the shooting.I don't really care, the case is over. Besides, if there was any forensic
evidence of this, the court would have allowed the defense to use it.

[Mister D]

That's part of the message. Correctly or not, a lot of black families in

black, and your children ever go out by themselves, you'd best hope

other reason than race. That problem remains.

Yes, they do honestly believe that and that's partly because of people like yourself who go out of their way to lend credence to what is obviously patent nonsense. The problem that remains is one of a culture of violence in the black community where statistically a young black man has a much greater chance of meeting his end at the hands of another black man. There is no plague of violence directed toward blacks by non-blacks even when taking Hispanic gang killings into account.

In fact, black males are more likely to commit interracial violence than any other group. These black families have it backwards.

black people still aren't victims of racial prejudice at multiple
tiers of society, it's your credibility. These people don't have to be
told that they've been historical victims of prejudice and continue
to be. The idea that they can't figure this out for themselves, when
they're confronted every day by the consequences of it, is an insult.

If you say so.

We can talk about any kind of violence you want. It's FAR more likely to come from other blacks. Sorry, but the feelings you attribute to black families are offensive. In fact, it is their anti-social, bastard children the rest of us need to be wary of. You can patronize them all you want (Lord knows that doesn't reinforce their behavior, right? :rollseyes:) but when you're full of shit I'm going to let you know.

[Singularity]

In fact, it is their anti-social, bastard childrenThanks for reminding me why I put you on ignore the moment I realized
you were on this forum, D. Have fun continuing to be irrelevant. You've
saved me some time here and I do appreciate it.

Just curious...if you put him on ignore then how did you selectively quote him?

I've never put anyone on ignore but it was my understanding that you could not see their posts if you had them on ignore.

Well I was talking about Kids?

So what age do you think it should be OK to smoke pot?

I see nothing wrong will appealing to a higher power. For example look at what has become of our school system since prayer has left the school!

And I really liked the Cartoon! :)

I don't think that anyone will deny that true racism still exisists. But I think that in this case you are being a little dramatic!

The fact is that many live in areas where the last thing they need to fear is White people, because it is the young black youth that have decided that the only way they will have power is to join these drug gangs.

You mentioned pot, which I am not a user, but not opposed to the adult use of either, but if you think of the drug dealers and the deaths caused by these gangs, it certainly is a problem for our young black people! males in particular

And I would amend my first 7 to include a #8 and that would be do not have children out of wed lock!

I believe that having a father in the home could prevent our children from becoming involved with some of these gangs!

Now for those that are truly oppressed by some other race day in and day out. In a case by case basis this needs to be stamped out!

But for those that are blaming another race for the reason they can't become a success? That in my opinion is BS

Agree, if you put someone on ignore, then ignore. And don't go using the ignore feature to make personal attacks on others. Ignoring someone says something about the ignorer not the ignored.

[Singularity]

So what age do you think it should be OK to smoke pot?

I see nothing wrong will appealing to a higher power. For example look at what has become of our school system since prayer has left the school!

And I really liked the Cartoon! :)I'd be okay with legalizing pot for anyone 18+.
Martin of course was 17 at the time of his death, and not for very long.
So, for cases like that, it makes sense to have the same consequences
of an M.I.P. today. That's a fine and community service for repeat offenders.

I'm not a man of faith, but I respect why people turn to God in situations
like I've described. I'm not going to say anything about how the Martin
case should have gone -- it's done, it's over, we should all move on. But
there's no question, black America wasn't just angered by it. They were
terrified. To them, it's nothing less than a hallmark of the bad old days.

And I don't have any illusions about the awful nature of gang violence.
Such a phenomenon, however, is an incredibly complex problem.

Society has to do more than simply advocate for it to stop;
yet a crackdown isn't the answer either, assuming it was practical
(the reason gang violence is so hard to combat is because people,
victims included, tend to stubbornly refuse to talk to the cops).

On the question of racism, though, words can make a difference.
Avowed racists can be shamed into silence, or ignored. People can be
educated out of preconceived notions, that kind of "black man
in the elevator" irrational fear situation.

I will not accept black people saying that racism is the only reason they
can't succeed. That's not true, and I for one know many black people who
would react to such a claim with scorn. However, success is harder when
we live in a country that has an unbalanced justice system, where 1 in 9
black males are currently in the custody or direct supervision of the state,
and 1 in 3 black males are likely to find themselves arrested in their lifetime.

That's just one example, one which shows that it's a long road going
before we can really live in a country where race isn't an issue. I am optimistic.
We can get there, someday. We've come a long way.

[Chris]

Right, according to the great race card players like Obama, Jackson and Rangel.

It buys votes.

I do believe that we have taken hope away from the inner city, and that is an issue

Because of this, there is a vast difference in the inner city communities and the suberb communities. and I feel that this more than the race issue represents the difference in incarceration of the black community.

Unless you are suggesting that they are innocent, which I do not believe that you are.

The law should be color blind. and if that means more of this or that color are in prison, as long as they are guilty, I have little compassion. Back to the old saying don't do the Crime if you can't do the time!!

[keymanjim]

Well then Yeah! He SHOULD have been shot.....
That's the course that he was on.
Had Zimmerman not shot treyvon while trayvon was trying to kill him, he would probably be dead by now anyway.
Except, it would have been at the hands of another black man. And that isn't sexy enough for our media to cover.

[Mainecoons]

Actually, under Barack Obama, we're going backwards:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1318727/Race-relations-worse-America--despite-Obamas-presidency-new-poll-reveals.html

BTW, I don't buy this bull about the cause is economics or expectations or any of that. The man and his administration's race baiting and obvious discrimination against whites (Department of InJustice) is what is driving this. White people, who pay most of the taxes and provide most of the economy, are getting pissed off about this.

Oh, BTW, Obama was elected by whites too. Foolish ones for sure, but they were whites. And how many blacks voted race? Pretty much all of them. But of course that was OK.

:grin:

If you're referencing Martin directly, all he did was pot. It's not that big of a deal.

If a person knock someone down, get on top of them preventing their escape and start bludgeoning them about the head an face, shooting that person once to make them stop their attack is perfectly justified under the law. The kid on top deserves a Darwin award, for removing himself from the gene pool and not passing on his abject stupidity to another generation. For that I salute Treyvon.

So should we celebrate your trolling?

[Chris]

...Rachel Jeantel's uncomfortable testimony added to the racial dimension of the Zimmerman trial, and last night, she made more headlines in that regard.

Namely by saying “nigga” isn’t a racist term.

The controversial George Zimmerman verdict - not guilty on all counts - was not just the result of her slang-filled testimony, but she didn't help prosecutors.

When she wasn't borderline incomprehensible, she was inconsistent.

Morgan asked his guest, “Is there’s anything you wished you said?"

“Nigga,” Jeantel said. “The whole world say it’s a racist word."

What’s that mean to you? Morgan asked her.

“That mean a male,” Jeantel responded, “any kind of male. Any kind. Chinese can say nigga. That’s my Chino, nigga. They can say that.”

“But nigger,” she added, stressing the pronunciation of the last two letters, “I’ll advise you not to use that… because that’s a racist word.”
