The paper just shut down(read censored) the comment section regarding Trayvon

This is a commentary made by a black columnist. Hopefully, it's just a glitch with my computer. Is anyone else having similar problems?

Darryl E. Owens: Here's why people are so angry over Trayvon Martin's death
On Sept. 23, 1955, Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam fired up stogies and smooched their wives. About an hour earlier, a Mississippi jury had mulled their fates.

The men had stood trial for abducting a 14-year-old black boy. They pounded his face into ground chuck. Shot him in the head. And tossed his broken body -- weighted with a large fan used for cleaning raw cotton that they'd hitched with barbed wire around his neck -- in the Tallahatchie River.

Emmett Till was dead. And despite damning evidence, Bryant and Milam were acquitted -- after the all-white jury deliberated a mere 67 minutes. (Later, they'd cash in by selling Look magazine the blow-by-blow of how they lynched Till for allegedly whistling at a white woman).

Nearly 67 years later, and some 800 miles from the delta town where Emmett Till met his doom, another young black kid's death has revived the suspicion that a black life doesn't have all that much value.
