Million Hoodie March for Trayvon Martin - Union Square, New York City

Here is a video snapshot of the Million Hoodies March for Trayvon Martin in Union Square, New York City on March 21, 2012.

The speaker is Brian Jones a Teacher, Writer and Activist we interviewed during the rally/march. He connects the killing of Trayvon Martin to Michelle Alexander's book, The New Jim Crow and the view of black and brown men as criminals. The results of this criminalization has not only led to the mass incarceration of black men but also the murder of them like what happened with Trayvon Martin.

[SilverNrGy985]

FUCK YOU AND YOUR WHITE POWER NATIONALIST BULLSHIT!!! THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THEN DEAD FASCISTS!!!!

[SilverNrGy985]

shut up!!.... black on black crime or any of these crimes is the product of our own environment, it is what the state wants, for us to hate one another join gangs and kill each other off slowly, all of that is happening because of the capitalist system we are living in, and we must tear it down!!! FUCK THE SYSTEM!!

The good news about the "million hoodie march" is that only two people have to miss work that day.

Blacks killing blacks is the bigger issue. Look at Chicago. A little girl and her father were just murdered in a black on black crime. The trayvon case is getting way to much publicity.

[Spitfire995]

Zimmerman asked him were he was going, he didn't break the law by following trayvon AT ALL, even though it was against the 911 operators advice. Trayvon was slamming his head into the sidewalk, what the fuck did you want Zimmerman to do let that nigger finish him off? Fuck outta here, Zimmerman should have capped him and then once he was dead, put the gun to his head and blown it off.

[mjfanforever2010]

Youre a moron. How did Trayvon atttack Zimmerman when Zimmerman got out of his vehicle, follow Trayvon(against the 911 operators advice) and confronted him. I'm sure when he confronted Trayvon, Trayvon whooped his ass(as he SHOULD'VE. George got mad and shot him. How is it self defense when you follow someone and confront them? Take a seat, moron right after you fuck yourself.

so how do white people owe black people ?? i think they owe themselfs

[Saint Cerini]

only 8% of total whites in the us ever owned a slave. 92% of white people never owned a slave in the us and 3/4 of all southern people never owned a slave so whats up with that lol

[Saint Cerini]

i would think energy would be better spend marching on washington for jobs for blacks and the 70% black kids without fathers and blacks trying too form some type bussiness for themselfs
