It began when an African American teen named Trayvon Martin was shot from walking home from the store, because of the suspect, George Zimmerman believed he was a threat because of his skin color. Zimmerman was never convicted of the murder of Martin as he stated was an act of self-defense. This was not handled fair in the court system as the male walk out as a freeman for killing a teen.

Some many blacks have been shot, and murder, but nothing major have been for those culprits in the justice system. The justice system doesn’t take the problem serious in my eyes. If it were Caucasian in the incident, they wouldn’t second guess themselves by throwing the suspect in jail. It 's unequal treatment between whites and blacks in the justice
