Please send me the link to the shows where you sat down with the parents of #LaquanMcDonald, #TamirRice, #TrayvonMartin, and a host of other innocent Black boys who were killed & had their reputations smeared by bigoted wypipo to justify their murders.

What recourse do people of color have within this country when it comes to media?
No matter what network it is, it must be nice to ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt.
This nation...

Now they can show blatant disrespect and get to be on national television.

I really don't boycott, per se, but I don't think I'll be inclined to watch anything with Samantha Guthrie again.

When you have enough money to afford a Public Relations firm to make your son appear to be squeaky clean tells me ALL I need to know.

And shame on the media for accepting bribe money to tarnish someone else's reputation while making the white boy look so so innocent.

So it's not unusual at all.

Trayvon Martin Foundation/The Trayvon Martin Family Legal Team
The Trayvon Martin Foundation was created in memory of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year old young black man who was killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer. TASC managed crisis communications and media relations for the Trayvon Martin Foundation and Trayvon’s family and their legal team throughout the duration of the George Zimmerman murder trial.

Including one who made dozens of posts yesterday making the case it was actually a black group that made the Covington kids act the way they did. So no surprise the RW media is trying to rehabilitate the little bastars when we have longtime DUers gaslighting.

Sooner we stop talking about them, the sooner this goes away.

I know there were people here that wanted their lives ruined. It ain’t gonna happen. Quite the opposite probably.

I wanted to see school punishment, expulsion. That ain’t happening either. He’ll probably get a citizenship award. Smh.
