More Words Than None

Take away RACE in America and just focus on HUMANITY! A man serves time for killing dogs in his yard. Another man actually takes a human life by following, persuing, attacking, and then not being able to handle his bluff; kills a child and is found NOT guilty! A human life can be TAKEN and there is no accountability!! I would be appalled, if I didn't know what country I lived in and what dark powers and principalities ruled this world!
Let's be crystal clear: this verdict does not mean he did not commit murder, it simply means this jury did not convict him! As difficult as it is, we should not forget that God does NOT sleep!  Just as other defendants found not guilty of murder have paid the penalties for their crime, this heinous crime will not go unpunished either.
A conversation needs to be had about race relations because whether you understand it or not; racism and predjudice has never NOT been a factor in America, it doesn't matter that it's 2013! 
This only furthers my divine purpose to fight for social justice within and through the classroom where I teach young, impressionable preteens of all races.  I teach Trayvon Martins. I teach George Zimmermans. 
The question is: You're mad now. You're upset in this moment. Imagining being apart of the Martin family and placing yourselves in their shoes...but what are YOU going to do! Posting black screens in support is not enough. Going on social media rants is not enough. Looking upside someone's head is not enough! Be angry enough to turn that rage into work. Teach, educate, Do better. Be an example. Hold conversations. VOTE! Use your voice and be heard!! Love one another. It won't happen overnight at all...but one small step is all it takes towards progression!
