Be sure to pick up a copy of the new Ebony mag! There are 4 different covers and they are all realllly nice. I never posted anything in reference to the verdict for the Trayvon Martin case because I was beyond pissed, disturbed, disappointed and many other emotions. The blatant racism was just ridiculous and it sent a very powerful message as to what our society is about. We still have a long way to go and it begins WITH US! If we don't treat ourselves with respect, what message are we sending to every other race??? But it's all a set up because the laws were never meant to protect us and media is made to give us false images and to those who have no guidance, it's slowly killing our race away. I just hope this situation doesn't gradually be forgotten about because there are laws that really need to be adjusted and updated! I just feel so bad for Trayvon's parents and they are being very strong and handling this situation with so much grace and class. I know they are doing their work behind the scenes to get justice or to be sure this NEVER happens again. Like Oprah said, this is the modern day Emmitt Teal case. We need to really wake up and pay attention to what is going on. Stop focusing on shoes, clothes, swag, poppin bottles and "looking good" because none of that stuff gets us anywhere in the long run.
