Trayvon, I'm sorry....

As things begin to wrap up with the State vs. George Zimmerman, my heart is aching.  I've taken a strong interest in the outcome of this case because I wanted to see just how fancy they'd be trying to wiggle and defend what he's done and all of the lies he's told. I was interested in seeing just how far we've progressed as a society.  Most importantly, my interest is extremely high in the outcome because  I have a son.

My son is Black.

My son is tall.  

My son is slender. 

My son is athletic.

My son is in good health.

My son has smoked weed. 

My son knows how to defend himself.

My son walks to the store sometimes when it's dark out.

My son wears hoodies and drinks Arizona Teas.

My son is NOT a suspicious person and neither was Trayvon.  

The cold and hard realization of racism, profiling, stereotyping and entitlement can not be ignored in this case.  We can all dance or slide over these underlying currants but the facts of the matter, they exist.  Nobody wants this to be a "racial" issue but it is.  Why was he ever a "suspicious person"? What made him so suspicious??? 

Because George Zimmerman didn't know him? He didn't know George Zimmerman but he didn't pursue him either.Was he suspicious because he wore a hoodie? 
I didn't know it was a particularly odd thing to cover your head when its raining.  So what made him suspicious? So suspicious and menacing that George Zimmerman became so hellbent on  "catching him" and that all of his supposed "fear" was thrown aside?  What made Trayvon suspicious?  Because he was Black.

If you're not a person of African descent, it's very hard for you to understand exactly what IT IS to be Black in America.  Being a woman of African descent, even I can't fully understand what it is to be a BLACK male in America, but I understand and can relate as I've experienced profiling personally in my life. That's not to say that non-blacks can't empathize with the experience but they will never fully understand what life is like to be measured by stereotypes for no reason other than skin color. They will never understand that WE are guilty until proven innocent, when the law clearly gives us the right to be innocent unless proven otherwise. Even in death and unable to tell his side, Trayvon is on trial and apparently, they've proven him guilty of being the one that caused his own death.

We've all speculated as to what would have happened had Trayvon been white and George had been black.  What if they were both white?  What if they were both black? What if Trayvon had the gun and killed George?  I confidently believe that if the races were switched, George would have been arrested on the night of the shooting and this case would be over and George would be on his way to prison.  If it had of been Trayvon who shot George out of self defense, he would have been on his way to prison.  It just is...what it is.  Hate me if you want, but it IS the truth from where I stand.  How sad it is a world we live in that a kid can't walk to the store without being profiled and suspected as being up to no good.  How sad it is a world we live in that a kid can't fight with all his might and will, to defend himself when he was being followed by a grown man, with a gun, that he didn't know....who was lurking....and following him.  How sad that he wasn't given the right and continues to be denied the same rights that George Zimmerman was given. Why is it that Trayvon's self defense isn't being considered in the arguments at all??  Oh, I'm sorry! My mistake it is being considered only not in the light and truth.  That ass kicking George received was him defending himself.... and they've turned it around to be Black aggression and fear for George.

The sad, sad part about this all..... *pause*........NONE of this had to happen.  It all happened because George Zimmerman MADE it happen.  

Trayvon, I'm sorry this world we live in have quantified and reduced the value of your life and the lives of so many young men, like you....like my son.  I'm sorry this world will allow people to develop games and set up Facebook pages to make sadistic, cruel and sick jokes about you.  I'm sorry the process of the law have allowed them to vilify you. I'm so sorry.  I'm sorry you will never be able to tell your side of what happened.  You will never be able to speak of what it felt like to be hunted and having to defend yourself.  You will never be able to do that and I am SO so very sorry.  I'm sorry that "beyond reasonable doubt" only applies to George Zimmerman life, yet he didn't EVER give you THAT simple courtesy the night he took your life. How ironic.  I can only pray that your family will heal from this tragedy whatever the outcome may be.  Your life mattered to SO many people.

I believe you.

Rest In Peace.....

Secure the crime scene and plant this evidence!

You.  Are. Out. Of. Your. Fuckin'. Mind.

Oh, sorry.  Happy Friday and Thank God I made it.

So today's fuckery is sponsored by Pro-Lifers in New Mexico and Medical Personnel Fuckups in NY.


Ok..... so, we've gotta  e a s e  our way into the heaps of bullshit today....cuz these two situations are unbelievable.  No....seriously.  This is stuff you wonder if you're being punked or caught in a nightmare.

Lets move on to this "Tampering With Evidence" in New Mexico.

This morning, an article headline pops up in my newsfeed "New Mexico Lawmakers Say Abortions After Rape Are Criminal For Tampering With Evidence?!" (For details)

This can NOT be serious.  On what level and HOW much CRACK do you smoke that you would ever - EVER think this is acceptable, comprehensible and human???  You mean to tell me, that you would pass a law that would prevent a 10 year old, who's been raped from aborting a pregnancy?  You mean to tell me, that you would FORCE this child to endure continuous mental and physical torture by having to carry her abusers child to term?

GTFOHWDBS!!!

This is definitely the works of that group that said that women are "magical creatures" and are able to shut off their eggs in times of rape so that pregnancy can't/won't happen.....and this is also the group that said some rapes are "legitimate" (of course, some of y'all get raped and you know you want it) .... and it's gotta be that same group that said that a woman is pregnant 2 weeks before she even gets raped...I mean, pregnant...no, raped....oh hell!...the chicken came first, dammit!!  

So basically ladies, according to them.... if you want an abortion....for whatever reason and progression of your life....no matter how young or abused you are.... you're fucked from the time you start bleeding!  Which in my case, since age 9.   Thank God, I wasn't raped then!  I didn't even know what was going on with my vajayjay with something so natural as a menstrual flow so how the hell would they expect me to know how to turn on my supernatural pussy powers???!!

My fear with this whole pro-life and pro-choice debate is that these pro-lifers are so passionate about their beliefs....or is it really desperation at this point....but my fear is that, there are people out there....so fast and hard about what they believe....and so many covert operations in our government.....and these passionate people are in our government, that when passion and desperation meet.....WAR happens and the civilians are always the losers.  Now their debate or "their tactic" to stop abortions is so far from their original argument...:"Life begins at conception"....it's just ridiculous....desperate and quite honestly, I've lost respect for their platform.  Now you want to criminalize the victim.  Shame on you.

I support passion.  I respect passionate people.  "Life begins at conception".....that's simple.  Clear....and debateable.  I can get behind that. I can even SUPPORT that. I'll hear you out about that....but now.....now, you're just grasping for straws.  *smh*

I can go on and on about that....but I'm going to wait this one out.....I'm curious how the debates will go.

*deep breath.....exhale*

So let's move on to NY trying to infect their population with HIV.....and from what I've read, this wasn't the first time they've exposed hundreds of people to the virus (including Hep B & C). (Read Here for more details)

How much do you want to bet, somebody will touch it ...just to make sure?

I don't even know where I'm going to go with my rant about this - I mean how many ways from Sunday can you call people stupid, dumbass, idiots and fuck-ups......I mean, OSHA and CDC have clear cut regulations for patient care procedures that should be followed.  They didn't just sit up and write all this stuff up because they felt like it!  Procedures guidelines are developed to prevent shit from happening because it's necessary!

Have you ever noticed a warning label on an item and thought to yourself...."Duh!"...."This is the dumbest warning"....."why would they put that on there"......umm...it's because it's necessary.....it's because some DUMBASS (at least 5 of 'em....to pick up a trend) that did the very thing that they have to tell you NOT to do.  *smh*  so imagine....5 little dumbasses sitting in a tree, teasing Mr. Alligator....too bad they didn't read the trees warning label.

So when you're in a hospital setting....these guidelines should be followed exactly because of that....because somebody (-ies) did it wrong.  It is NO secret that any equipment that has pierced a person's skin....by puncture or incision....be sterile, disposable or autoclave PROPERLY.....WHY would these people NOT change the needles....or by God....label and store them for the use of THAT individual patient for later use from that SAME patient????  I mean, this isn't even worth discussing because this is just blatant disregard to treating patients properly, mandated regulations and pure laziness.  Now for the rest of their lives these people will wonder "Do I have it"?  Have you ever waited 2 weeks for test results.....the longest 2 weeks in your life.....now the rapid results....the longest rapid 20 minutes in your life.....imagine your WHOLE rest of your life....  Just horrible....*smh*
