Knuckleheads converge on Sanford

While I and so many more are truly upset and angered by the events in Sanford, Florida, none of us wish to disrespect Trayvon’s family, Zimmerman’s family or the numerous officials in Sanford who are now trying to clean up a mess created by a select few.  What angers me more are those who think that the only way to get justice is on the other end of a gun?

Recently six shots were fired into an empty police car in Sanford and for those individuals who believe this is just, they are wrong.  All this does is add fuel to the fire and instead of us using this moment as a teaching moment, addressing all those long standing issues and working to bring an end to this separate justice system we now have.  We have a golden opportunity to finally get issues which has plagued the African-American community and so many other communities out in the open and possibly solved.  We do not need the 10 percent who thrives better when there are divisions.

We must not be deterred by those who shot first and ask questions later from all sides of the racial divide.  We must not let them stain Martin Luther King’s vision of descending views sitting down and reaching a compromise that serve the greater good.  We must not let the 10 percent of knuckleheads keep all of us from reaching the Promise Land.  Anyone who preaches vengeance is missing a vital link to common sense.  I call upon those of the New Black Panther Party to ease up on their rhetoric and step aside so that real justice can be done in this case.   Your distractions are offering no real solution and are only providing those who wish to sweep this under the rug an excuse to do so.  You are not helping matters and only making them worse. 

All that you are doing now would be better well suited for times when authorities choose not to serve and protect.  Getting ahead of the process only means that you are leading no one and accomplishing nothing.  Respect the family of Trayvon and stand with them to provide the support that they need.  Stop stepping in front of them or trying to be seen.  You are making a complete knucklehead out of yourself and just in case you can’t see it, you are dragging the rest of us down with you unless that is what your intentions are?
