Hundreds marched through the streets of New York City on Wednesday night in memory of and to protest the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, in what organizers called the “Million Hoodie March.”

The march began in Manhattan’s Union Square, where a rally in support of Martin had taken place. Martin’s father Tracy Martin and mother Sybrina Fulton, in New York for interviews with major media outlets, made an appearance at the rally to thank the crowd for its enthusiasm. ”My heart is in pain,” Fulton said, according to the AP.

Blacks kill blacks daily in Chicago and New York..in cold blood.

The unemployment rate in the black community is sky high.

Gasoline is through the roof.

Time to organize a march. Media, play the tune.

The MSM is using this story to express their hatred for conservatives...

Here’s two journalists talking when they don’t know a conservative is in the room:

Aren’t both men in this story Hispanic? Does anyone have a picture of the teenager? My local paper carried a picture - looks like it was taken when he was 12 or 13...

Has this incident been blamed on Sarah Palin yet?

The organizers of this event seem to have a problem with the concept of “orders of magnitude.”

The only account I read of this story does make Zimmerman out to be a maniac. The kid was walking home talking on his cell phone to his girlfriend and this guy pegs him for a thug and goes to confront him, killing him instead. If these are all the facts, it is indeed a sad story fueled by the self proclaimed neighborhood watch guy’s overzealousness and stupidity. But what all the reports fail to mention, and what I think is important, is that the black culture has brought this on themselves. The pop culture of blacks celebrates thugs, immorality, violence and fear and is broadcast all over the place in the media. Some idiot neighborhood watch yahoo is bound to see every black kid in a hoodie as a crack dealer. I once knew a very genteel black woman from Georgia. She taught school once upon a time and told me that she would never allow black students to wear anything other than conservative clothing. Why? Because she said because of the way blacks portray themselves in the media to the public, they are perceived by that public as potentially criminal.As a black , therefore. you must conscientiously look and speak differently than the gangster blacks look and speak. Once blacks as a race condemn rap music, charlatans like Al Sharpton et al, and all the other trappings of their present culture, then they will be taken, as a race, seriously. Until then, they have a lot of work to do.

How do blacks think up these names? These spellings?

I’m pretty sure that there in no thinking involved, and darn little spelling. Maybe it’s what Momma screamed in ebonics while in labor.

The race-baiters need to let the facts emerge. Maybe this was a legal act...maybe not. The fact that the uber-race-baiter, notsosharp-ton, will be there “protesting” is disgusting. Didn’t he lie about tawana brawley and inspire the killings of several people in nyc?

"Aren’t both men in this story Hispanic?"

According to Zimmerman's (the shooter) family, he is Hispanic. I confess I'm baffled by the "hierarchy of victimhood" as it stands in Obama's "Post-Racial" 2012.

I guess it's OK for an African-American to shoot a Hispanic, but not the other way around? And the Indian convenience store clerk may have a darker skin than either, but he's fair game at any time? I suppose African-American/Hispanic would trump Cuban/Hispanic?

I wonder if there was a parade to get in the employment line, how many of these clowns would have shown up.

Hopefully this “racial” motivated alleged crime backfires on the shills for the dems. His Excellency is already guaranteed 95% of the black vote, perhaps he may lose some of the other support if his aggatators foment some racial based unrest.

Apparently self-defense isn't enough. The facts are starting to come out about the case.

“Million Hoodie March” in New York Rallies Support for Trayvon Martin"

Or rather, to support manufacturing evidence of murder, that doesn't seem to exist so far. The constitution and the law doesn't seem to be supporting the left's "feelings" that this was murder.

Why not just organize a "Million Ski Mask March?"
