Chicks On The Right

December 6, 2019

 

Welcome to the end of 2019; we now have a case from "Obama's era of 2012" that launched Black Lives Matter coming back into the news. Most of us can remember how Zimmerman was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. This case was a "ground-zero" launch into a severe racism divide and divisive media narratives that fueled American politics and media culture for years.

Seven years later, reflecting on the revisiting of this case brings the potential for changed perspectives in today's post-Jussie-Smollett-Hoax era in 2019. But reviewing the headlines and twitter feeds talking about this story so far, makes it instantly evident that the nation is just as equally divided on this case now, as it was in 2012.
