Segregation used to be a way of life a few years ago, but after the first black president - Borrack Obama - was elected, there was nothing else to think except, the country has developed in a better way; however it seems no one has changed from there old ways.
On Febuary 26, 2012, young 17 - year - old Tryvon Martin was shot coming back from buying candy at a convenience store - Ice tea, and skittles - was what was bought. Martin was wearing a hoodie, and was unarmed. The killer name is Geaorge Zimmerman, and he is not found guilty yet. The citizens of the U.S want him behind bars, and wont stop until he is.
George Zemmerman defended himslef by saying he shot the boy out of self defence, even though when he had called the police, they told him to stay put, do not do anything, they would be there in five minutes. Ovbiously Zemmerman did not listen, seeing as how he ended up shooting the boy, and killing him. I feel that people have a great responsibilitie to do the right thing and protect each other. The shooting could have happend to anyones child, imagine if it was yours.
Zemmerman feared that Martin was " Up to no good " and that it was his joib to take care of it. Zemmerman ovbiously had feared the boy, because Martin ended up dead.
I feel that this generation stereotyping has such an impact on the personalities of one another. Zemmerman killed a young boy, because he was black, and because he was wearing a hoodie - which I guess all the bad guys do now a days - that is gender stereotyping, it happens so much that people stop realizing that they are. One day someone is going to wake up and realize that what they have done was hurtful, stereotyping and careless and can lead to so many things.
George Zemmerman deserves to be behind bars for what he did.
