Digital Journal -- The 2012 killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has led to various rallies, boycotts, and even songs. Now, the NAACP is leading the way in an effort to force legal changes across the United States in an attempt to prevent another similar situation.
The NAACP created "Trayvon's Law," a series of legislative policies that aims to "end racial profiling, repeal stand your ground laws, form effective civil complaint review boards to provide oversight of police misconduct, improve training for community watch groups, mandate law enforcement to collect data on homicide cases involving non-whites, and address the school to prison pipeline," NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous explained in a statement according to AllHipHop.
"What happened to Trayvon Martin must never happen again," Jealous said according to Jet Mag "Trayvon's Law will serve as the foundation for community advocates as they work to end laws and practices that contributed to his death and to create new policies that will prevent further tragedies."
The NAACP will push "Trayvon's Law" at the local, state, and federal levels. The organization's Florida State Conference will be working to immediately enact the law in Florida, AllHipHop reports. The organization is also urging states across the US to adopt the law.
Blog author's comments - The NAACP and their fellow race baiters are going to milk Trayvon Martin's death for all it’s worth as long as they can. Maybe they should teach personal accountability instead. The case never was entirely about George Zimmerman...he was used to advance the agenda of some people. What happened will happen again. New policies won't change it.
So will they enact a series of legislative policies instructing black teenagers and young men to not commit crimes? Not join gangs? Not impregnate women and if they do to help raise the child? I don't think so. They should attempt to impress upon them the advantages of staying in school so they can get a job and be a productive member of society. This won't happen because that would require the NAACP populous to accept some responsibility.
What Mr. Jealous has outlined won't change anything but that's what his base wants to hear and he is going to pretend to provide it…instead of doing the hard work of addressing the real problems in the black community.
The NAACP and the Obama administration along with their leftist base could not believe that George Zimmerman was found to be not guilty of any crime so this will continue. The AG Eric Holder's DOJ along with Martin's parents are pushing for a civil suit against Zimmerman. I don't believe Holder or the parents are doing this as 'Justice for Trayvon.'
