Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin’s mother, made it clear on Meet the Press Sunday that she has turned her grief over the death of her son into action to stop racial profiling and “Stand-your-Ground” laws around the country.

“We’re going to all 21 states with stand your ground laws to make some change,” Fulton said to David Gregory, and while it won’t happen overnight, “we’re in it for the long haul. This is part of my life now.”

Fulton appeared on Meet the Press after NYPD Chief Ray Kelly defended “Stop-and-Frisk,” a practice that a federal judge determined violated the constitution and discriminated against minorities, who make up 90% of the stops.

“You have to give, not only civilians, but police officers, the right direction,” Fulton said. “You can’t give the authority, whether it’s a civilian or a police officer, the right to stop somebody just because of the color of their skin.”

When it comes to changing policies related to how young people of color are treated in America, Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump called for people to vote in the midterm elections and to lobby legislators to amend Stand Your Ground laws.

“Trayvon voters have a clear cause: capturing the passion over the devastating verdict returned in the trial of George Zimmerman and transforming these feelings into actions that can and will make a difference,” Crump wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Post....

There seems to be a pattern someone should explore. Here we have a mother, that all but gave up on her thug son. Once he goes and gets killed, the mother (and father, if located) wants to capitalize on it. literally. We have the part of society that uses lawsuits to "get their dollar" and how we have a part of society, that uses their dead children to "get their dollar."

Ok, so in other words she is now protesting something that prevents black kids from being killed by gang members. Oh this woman is on a roll.

Sounds like she's smarter than Angela and Dead Trayvon, then.

I see he liked to take photos of himself. Too bad he couldn't see this one from the future.

“We’re going to all 21 states with stand your ground laws to make some change,” Fulton said to David Gregory


So, the son attempts unsuccessfully to murder what he mistakenly thought would be a hated white victim, and then the mother admits to wanting to “make some change” or money from the son’s abortive crime.

I totally support her in this, it’s about damn time blacks stop profiling whites and automatically thinking they are homosexuals.
It is disgusting how blacks act.

There is money in this somewhere, you can bet the farm on that. I don’t know who is supplying it , but it is easier than collecting welfare or she wouldn’t be doing it.

She is going to milk this for a[[it is worth.
