Black Teen Shot, Killed By Neighborhood Watch (by TheYoungTurks)
TRIGGER WARNING (commentary on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin)
The 1:30 mark made me clap. Finally. An emotional, raw coverage from a news reporter
dude wtf
Like the bolded said, finally.
My girl just goes off around the 1:30 mark…
HOLY SHIT she went OFF i love her!
Her anger was beautiful. To see a woman, especially a white appearing woman, show anger towards the injustices perpetuated by racism is so enthralling. Mind you, just being angry doesn’t give her a gold medal for understanding, but it does show that not all white appearing women are cold, unforgiving, racists. That certainly gives me hope.
White people are just slaughtering out youth in the streets and jack shit iis being done about it. Unfuckinbelievable. Pisses me off
There has been a lot about this on tumblr and I feel I should spread the word. What happened is entirely unbelievable and something has to be done with Zimmerman. This is a great news report.
