This article reminds me of a verse: Hosea 8:7 "They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind...

Toure and Travon's mother are sowing to the wind racial animosity. The result is the wind you see of racially motivated beatings of 'whites'. This will not turn out good for them.

his black culture got him killed.

Trayvon’s dream was to make a street drug and get high. Thug.

[Yardstick]

This piece amounts to a wordy admission that Trayvon was a pot smoker and may well have been “on drugs” as Zimmerman speculated.

And of course he misses the point about interracial crime. Yes, most black crime is intraracial. But that doesn’t nullify the fact of disproportionate interracial crime.

The rest is just inconsequential fluff.

Trayvon, the felonious assaulter, committed attempted murder just before he was brought to justice with a shot in self defense.

Nothing he did before or how he is said to have been a model citizen justifies his assault and attempt to kill Zimmerman

Making money off of a corpse, poverty pimp.

[Razz Barry]

I think she's turned making money off her dead son into a job. She trademarked his name as soon as she saw there was an opportunity to make money.

[trebb]

There’s a lot of Blacks that had dreams too - cut short by the Trayvons of their communities. Same goes for an increasing number of Whites.

"Do something"

Because there's no money to be made off black on black killings. Sharpton and Jackson know where the money is...blaming whites for black-caused black problems.

If he was such a sweet of of a peach, why did she did did him did live with his dad... and then when was living with dad’s new girlfriend ?
