Prejudice Can Lead You To So Many Things

In this article a young 17-year-old name Trayvon Martin went to the nearest convenient store to buy a bag of skittles and a bottle of ice tea. George Zimmerman the neighborhood watchmen saw a teenage boy in a hoody which was Trayvon Martin. He took it as a threat and called the police asking if he could fire his gun, however, they said he was not allowed to shoot anyone. He ignored the police and went towards the 17-year-old boy and fired his gun. The social media took this action as a racist attempt to kill the young boy. Now people all around the U.S are protesting towards this horrible racism act.

Prejudice can lead to many horrible think but mostly to injustice because if one person doesn’t like someone that person won’t always agree with him or would try to harm him in some way. Like in this case George Zimmerman felt prejudice to Trayvon Martin and that leaded Zimmerman to kill Martin. There were no cameras or any witnesses so he claimed that he acted in self-defense.

Some of each individual’s responsibility is to learn about others customs and cultures so they do not become prejudice and therefor their innocents will not be harmed. There wont be anything against each individual to harm each other.  Another responsibility as an individual would be to protect the innocent, it doesn’t matter if it’s someone you know or someone you don’t, you should always to the right thing and protect the innocent.

Many people are afraid of something they don’t even understand making them act the way George Zimmerman did on February 26^th. He didn’t understand that Martin was more than just a black person in a hoody; he was a human being that had a bright future ahead of him. They way Zimmerman acted not only affected Martins feature it also made his parents loose a son and his brother to loose his only brother.

People are blinded by racism and discrimination that they don’t see what even really matters. Like if Martin was a girl I think he would have had higher chances of survival. Its horrible in what people keep in there minds about other people, instead of wondering if the person is a good and polite or if he was rude and uncivilized they wonder and judge them by there color. Its messed up that its counted suspicious if a black man is walking on the road and its normal for a white man to do.

Zimmerman made a fool out of him self, its sad that Trayvon Martin is dead today and George Zimmerman is still out there not being arrested for he has done. He should have been arrested a month ago for the racism act he just pulled of. I hate that we live in a world that people still can’t get along with each other as one.
