Racism is still alive in America

But not in the way you think. And they say ONLY white people are racist....sorry but they're wrong. This picture is true and sad.

    [quote]And they say ONLY white people are racist[/quote] Nobody has ever said that. Ever. Also, the Trayvon Martin case made national news because it involved racial profiling by Zimmerman and the cops didn't charge him with a crime until there was national pressure to do so. The guy who shot and killed Marley Lion was a street thug looking to rob people and race had little to do with the killing. He was aggressively and rapidly arrested, charged, and convicted. That kind of thing happens all the time all around the country and any one instance is not enough of a story to catch national attention. Also, this picture was created and posted by Marley Lion's mother on Facebook, who is clearly upset that her son's killing did not receive the same attention from the media as Trayvon Martin's. Take that to mean what you will, but this comparison is hardly valid. I realize this is just slacktivism on your part, but some basic research before posting stuff like this would help prevent you and others from looking stupid.
