George Zimmerman

First I have to start this blog by saying this: I am going to be at times a little profane, because I am outraged and disappointed in the twisted scheme that is this "Celebrity" Boxing Match that is "Zimmerman vs. Any Challenger." I usually ask "what hell happened to" when starting these blog-posts, but today, at this moment I have to ask: What the fuck happen to George Zimmerman?

In an article by The Independent George Zimmerman offers up a shot to be in a Celebrity Boxing Match, and confides that he is willing to take on anyone. With just this statement alone I want to break this down, because it's devilishly genius, and fucking despicable. He is by every means using the resentment against him to make money, not only that he is using infamy to deem himself as an influential figure to American society. Let me be clear, he is using his infamous image from killing this boy, Trayvon Martin "justifiably":
George Zimmerman after using the defense that he could not even win a fight or be effective in any kind of way in MMA has decided to have an event that is basically saying "come get some." This action is just a device being used against you  for his own personal gain. Of course him getting his ass kicked sounds great, but you don't think for a second that asshole won't get knocked onto the mat with a smile on his face with all the money he would make from this?(With a portion of the proceeds going to an Animal Rights Group which has not been disclosed.) and the worse case scenario is what if he wins? What if the match is rigged? And the fact that it's The Game? Don't you think Racial Vengeance is an angle conservative news outlets will choose for this? Fucking seriously! We are about to set ourselves back 300 fucking years right after the month of which is dedicated to recognizing African American public figures that need to be recognized and not forgotten like Martin Luther King who advocated for non-violence. We deserve better. I was ashamed of one of my favorite news outlets perspective on the Boxing Match set for March 1st (The Young Turks). Here's the video. 




Vigilante Justice bought and paid for by a promoter and a boxing ring, is still Vigilante Justice. It's barbaric, and most importantly I wouldn't give this worthless piece of flesh a dime, because win or lose you are rewarding his behavior by watching this Pay-Per-View Match (and putting money in his pocket). I hate to say this but shame on you TYT. To The Game, you have paid respects to the Trayvon Martin Family by the Tattoo you have on your leg:


This is more than enough tribute. Fighting didn't solve anything on that night, and fighting on March 1st won't solve anything either. 

I believe the unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality, this is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

-Martin Luther King Jr.-

Look, I know that the "he's going to get what's coming to him" mantra is what many people have taken on in this case, which is why it's so disappointing. You are giving George Zimmerman exactly what he wants. He hasn't been the most quiet citizen either since killing Trayvon Martin. His criminal record continued to grow, most notably domestic disturbances with his estranged wife, Shellie, and another with his girlfriend whom put forth allegations but later the charges were dropped.

We have to stop feeding this mans lust for aggression and violence. We have to stop. My message also to The Game, as seen in the video beating a man up. You are about to cement an image of the "angry black man" in racists, bigots, and supremacists all over the nation that isn't true. Martin Luther King was a non-violent activist until the day he died. Can we follow in his footsteps for once. George Zimmerman has shown his true colors to everyone with his actions. Show yours by pointing out the HUGE inconsistency with his defense of killing an unarmed 17 year old boy. Get in the ring, take those gloves off and resist anger. Resist the urges we all have against this man. Show this man what peace, resolve, and discipline look like. If you don't, it will accomplish nothing good. Show the world that we as a people will not stoop to his level for justice. Let Trayon Martin's soul rest. Trayvon nor Zimmerman deserve any of this.

  
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

 What the hell happened to George Zimmerman? Everything he ever wanted.
