Second your emotion sir!
Will certainly be listening to Chika Onyeani who hopefully, will not be keeping his mouth shut or talking hieroglyphic @3 a.m.GMT on the BBC
In this case, the overarching emotions of we the black people cannot be wrong when the shouting from all corners is that there has been a deliberate travesty of justice when a near all-white jury perpetrates a miscarriage of Justice in the Trayvon Martin case? Sad. Very very sad. We want
"to look into justice's beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"
And if that doesn't happen, hopefully, there will be no calm
Black people are not going to take it lying down.
"Now I know we have great respect
For the sister, and mother it's even better yet
But there's the joker in the street
Loving one brother and killing the other
When the time comes and we are really free
There'll be no brothers left you see " ( Curtis Mayfield, " We the people who are darker than blue")
Hopefully, there will be a retrial.
Sad times.
