In American society, it has always been the case that the onus is on black folk not to misbehave, even when faced with mounting incidents of injustice. That white supremacist ideal hasn’t changed at all, as evidenced by a White House petition calling on Obama to give a speech, presumably to calm African-Americans, if Zimmerman is acquitted of second degree murder charges. According to the petition, Obama’s speech would help prevent race riots like the ones we witnessed in the 1960′s.
Here’s how the petition reads:
WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
President Obama to Give a Speech Calling for Peace in theWake of the George Zimmerman – Trayvon Martin Trial Verdict
There is much talk in social media of race riots should George Zimmerman be found not guilty of the second degree murder charge against him in the February 26, 2012, shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.
The United States cannot bear a repeat of the race riots of the 1960s. It is incumbent upon President Obama to give a speech to the nation urging a non-violent response to the Zimmerman trial verdict so as to preserve peace in the land.
