(ThyBlackMan.com) Who really killed Trayvon Martin?  We know that George Zimmerman,  who had the nerve to say he thought black folks owed him an apology, and who also said that he would do it all over again because killing an innocent unarmed black teenager was “God’s will,” pulled the trigger. (For the life of me,  I cannot stop equating him with the Polish nobleman in the movie Maverick whose greatest desire in life was to kill an Indian (substitute black for Indian).  But did Zimmerman act alone, or was he merely a tool of a much larger conspiracy?  Who is responsible for cheapening the life of young black males to the extent that they created George Zimmerman?  Who really killed Trayvon Martin?

Could the real perpetrator have been the justice system in America?  You know, the one that would never have arrested Zimmerman in the first place,trayvonmartin had it not been for the public outcry, and that subsequently prosecuted Zimmerman with the kind of zeal found usually in a child being forced to eat his vegetables.  We’re talking about the same justice system that sentenced Marissa Alexander, a black woman, to TWENTY YEARS in prison for firing a WARNING SHOT to keep her abusive husband- a man against who she had a protective order- at bay.  Apparently, Ms Alexander did far more harm to the air into which she fired, than Zimmerman’s shot did to young Martin. 

Ms. Alexander’s case has become something of a cause célèbre and I pray she finally receives some sort of justice.  But what about Chyvas Peoples?  He received thirty years for defending himself with a pen knife against a vicious attack by EIGHT gang members.

Was it the media that has demonized Black folks in general and Black males in particular to the extent that Zimmerman could feel justified in profiling and killing Trayvon?  During hurricane Katrina the images of blacks were so distorted that the National Guard that was sent to rescue people wanted to shoot the black folks who ran toward them for help.  Of course this demonization of black males goes all the way back to slavery as a means of justification for the rape of black women.

Who really killed Trayvon  Martin?

Could it have been the almost countless black thugs/zombies who have been so dehumanized by society that they see no value in human life and shoot into crowds of young black folks hoping to kill somebody, thereby further devaluing black life? 

Perhaps it was the powers that be who created these black thugs/zombies by building urban reservations (commonly referred to as Projects)  –high rises separated from the rest of society by expressways and railroad tracks where poor people were heaped on top of each other until an inevitable subculture of violence and indifference to human life emerged.  Once a sufficient incubation period for this subculture had elapsed, the results of these Frankenstein styled experiments were unleashed upon the rest of the city . (I’m speaking of Chicago, now). 

The result has been mayhem so profound that the local media doesn’t even bother to name the victims after bloody weekends.  They just give out the figures, Twelve killed, sixty wounded over the weekend, even further devaluing black life.
