“Rather than house vs. field, it is fraternities, sororities, schools, churches, white-collar, blue-collar, republican, democrat, neighborhoods and hundreds of other bases of division. The root is simple, but the basis for the separation is the same: that is, to keep the community divided. The origin of the classes, clubs, and groups still come from the same source- an outsider who still profits from our divison.” Dr. Na’im Akbar

SANFORD, Fla. — Police have released audio 911 tapes in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teenager killed by a neighborhood watch captain while walking home from a store.
In eight chilling recordings, made the night of February 26, listeners can hear the frightened voices of neighbors calling to report screams for help, gunshots, and then that someone was dead.
In perhaps the most disturbing of the recordings, a frightened voice cries out for help and pleading “No! No!” and then wailing.
And for the first time, we hear the voice of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who admitted to police that he shot Martin, who was walking home from a convenience store to his father’s home in the gated community. Zimmerman has not been arrested or charged in the shooting.

Is this what is considered okay by the city of Sanford? By Orange County? By the state of Florida? By the United States? This is very real, this is not bliss. This is not fantasy. This is an unarmed 17yo black kid who was shot by a white neighborhood watch captain who was not arrested nor charged. Racism is a real and a tolerated practice of this country. It is a constant crime against the brown and black citizens of the U.S. In what reality do you think that this is okay?

Noam Chomsky just endorsed Jill Stein for the Presidential 2012 election. Jill Stein is a third-party, Green Party candidate. We all know that a third-party candidate will not get elected due to the dirty money-politics process, but the conversation this starts is probably the most important one…
