Treyvon Martin

It’s been one year since the killing of Treyvon Martin, and his parents are planning a memorial in his honor at Union Square this evening at 6 p.m. They are requesting that everyone wears hoodies.

A recent photo of George Zimmerman has been released by his defense team.

Geraldo Rivera is blaming the death of Treyvon Martin on his wearing of a hoodie! Geraldo’s message to African-American and Latino parents: “do not let your children where hoodies and that way they will not be targets on the street”.

According to federal crime statistics, between the years of 1976 and 2004, out of all murders of African-Americans, 94-percent were committed by another black person.
