3D Na’Tee – Dear. Mr. Zimmerman (Video)

From 3D Na’Tee herself:

Like many of you, I was shocked this past Saturday when the all female jury acquitted murderer George Zimmerman of Trayvon Martin’s murder. To be honest with you, of course I smelled the strong stench of racism looming around this case but for me the verdict became less about justice failing and more about the fact that in America, even in 2013, its hard to view a young black man as harmless even if he’s underage, unarmed, and non confrontational.

As people blacked out their Instagram defaults and took to Twitter in rage, I quietly looked at my brothers. Josh is 22, 5’6″, with long flowing dreadlocks. John is 21, a few inches taller than Josh, with a low cut, a beard, and piercing black eyes. To me they are just my baby brother’s and my best friends but after hearing the verdict on yesterday I realized that Josh (who’s studying to become a school teacher) and John (who has plans on opening his own business soon) may very well look like murderers to some. Not because of their actions but because of a few things that they can not change, their age, gender, and ethnicity.

One day I want to get married to a great man and have wonderful children. I always dreamed of the house with the large backyard, two cars, and two kids. A girl and a boy… A boy… A boy who may one day not be looked at as the wonderful boy that his mother raises him to be but as a threat to society because of his skin tone… Damn…

Rest In Peace Trayvon from 3D Na’Tee and everyone like me…

Barack Obama Releases Statement On George Zimmerman’s Acquittal

President Obama has issued a statement about the George Zimmerman case and he also honors Trayvon Martin below.

“The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.”

New Reports Claim Zimmerman Molested His 6-Year-Old Cousin

July 14, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Taken from Media Takout (so take it with a grain of salt)….there’s also audio below from the report:

MediaTakeOut.com learned that George Zimmerman is being accused of BRUTALLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTING his cousin – and at least one other girl.

The MONSTER George Zimmerman has NOW been acquitted of MURDER and members of FOX NEWS and other in the media seem to be HAPPY ABOUT this. But they CAN’T POSSIBLY be happy with the fact that Zimmerman is now being accused of being a SERIAL CHILD MOLESTER. The girls accusing Zimmerman of MOLESTATION are Caucasian.

Here is what Zimmerman’s cousin said:

“It started when I was six . . . We’d all lay in front of the TV and we had pillows and blankets and he would reach under the blankets and try to do things and I would try to push him off but he was bigger and stronger and older. It was in front of everybody and I don’t know how I didn’t say anything, I just didn’t know any better.”
That is a FORCED MOLESTATION . . . he is an ANIMAL!!! Here’s more of her testimony:
“This is the first time in my life that I’m not afraid of him. [H]e cant get to me. If I saw him on the street or saw him anywhere it would just make me break down in tears, but now with everything going on I know that he’s not going to be out in public. I won’t go to Target and see him anymore. I’m not afraid of him anymore.”
George Zimmerman’s team were asked about the charges and they responded, “The content of this statement is not relevant to the issues of [the murder] case.”

So just to get this STRAIGHT – George Zimmerman was accused of MOLESTING CHILDREN, ASSAULTING POLICE, BEATING HIS GIRLFRIEND, and MURDERING TRAYVON. But the media is focusing on Trayvon smoking weed . . . SMH.

Listen to the woman speak, and tell us – does she sound BELIEVABLE TO YOU? Remember this is NOT a random person, this is his VERY OWN COUSIN!!!

Mike Tyson On Zimmerman: “The Fact That He Hasn’t Been Shot Yet Is A Disgrace.”

July 14, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

mike-tyson

Mike Tyson recently conducted a pretty telling interview with Yahoo! on certain matters, but it’s definitely the one that was asked about Trayvon Martin that will certainly get your attention:

As a black kid who grew up in Brooklyn, who was beat up, and then moved to the Catskills, and has had to deal with racial issues, what are your thoughts about the Trayvon Martin case?
My personal feeling is that, as a young kid that was beat on by a bully, the guy [Zimmerman] stalked him and didn’t follow instructions from a superior officer. But my all-around perspective, I wasn’t there. I don’t know what happened. Even though this is the best country in the world, certain laws in this country are a disgrace to a nation of savages. It’s a majority versus a minority. That’s the way God planned it. He didn’t want to do something about it, He wanted us to do something about it. We have to continue tweeting, we have to continue marching, we have to continue fighting for Trayvon Martin. If that’s not the case, he was killed in vain, and we’re just waiting for it to happen to our children. It’s a disgrace that man hasn’t been dragged out of his house and tied to a car and taken away. Forget about him being arrested—the fact that he hasn’t been shot yet is a disgrace. That’s how I feel personally about it. [Laughs]
