    Trayvon Martin - Should We Care?

    By keefah85  |  Posted April 12, 2012  |  Ewa Beach, Hawaii
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     keefah85, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, says he does not think the Trayvon Martin case should have been singled out or made a big deal. 'I care about Martin's family as much as I care about any family I don't know that has a tragedy that I hear about in the media,' he says. 'I send them sympathy and hope they get justice if it is due them. But to me, using this as a racial lightning rod is manipulative.' He feels that Zimmerman should get whatever it is that he deserves. 'If he should have beeen charged, then charg him, fine,' he says. 'True racial equality is color-blind; only the story matters and it is no where near a front-page-for-weeks article.'
    - ssesha, CNN iReport producer

    The Trayvon Martin story was invented and kept alive by "politically correct" media like CNN. Any other day, it would have just been a paragraph in the Police Beat column. So please, please give us a break and get off your pompous, self-righteous, fake race-defending agenda and back to REAL news. Oops, I forgot, you are no longer news journalists, but opinion slingers and sensationalist hucksters. Thanks anyway.
