Trayvon Martin, killing of black Florida teenager in United States:

Before this to read the Trayvon Martin story first of all please read below History!

Roots: The Saga of an American Family is a novel written by Alex Haley and first published in 1976. It tells the story of Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African, captured as an adolescent and sold into slavery in the United States, as a biological phenotype being “black” is often associated with the very dark skin colors of some people who are classified as “black”. But, particularly in the United States, the racial or ethnic classification also refers to people with all possible kinds of skin pigmentation from the darkest through to the very lightest skin colors, including albinos, if they are believed by others to have African ancestry, or to exhibit cultural traits associated with being “African-American”. As a result, in the United States the term “black people” is not an indicator of skin color but of socially based racial classification. 

Approximately 12 million Africans were shipped to the Americas during the Atlantic slave trade from 1492 to 1888. Today their descendants number approximately 150 million, most of who live in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. Most notably Brazil has the largest population in the world, aside from Nigeria, of individuals of at least partial African descent. Many have a multiracial background of African, Amerindian, European and Asian ancestry. The various regions developed complex social conventions with which their multi-ethnic populations were classified. 

Black people are still living as SLAVE in the world. 

Trayvon Martin Story:

US President Obama & Trayvon Martin

Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin, dressed in a “hoodie” sweatshirt, was shot dead a month ago in Sanford, Florida by a 28-year-old white Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer who said he was acting in self-defense. The case has rippled across the nation and prompted rallies protesting the failure of the police to arrest the shooter, George Zimmerman, and, more broadly, a pattern of racial discrimination black leaders cite in Sanford and elsewhere in the country. 

Obama, the first black U.S. president, made his remarks at a White House event to announce his pick to lead the World Bank, waiting briefly after the announcement to take a reporter’s question about the incident. Obama gets personal over killing of black Florida teenager. 

Martin’s parents thanked the US president Barack Obama for his words.

WikiLeaks make publicized & publish ‘ five millions’ of Stratfor emails:

WikiLeaks began publishing in excess of five million confidential emails from US-based intelligence firm Stratfor, the anti-secrecy group said. The messages, which date from between July 2004 and December 2011, will expose Stratfor’s “web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods,” claimed a WikiLeaks press release.

 

“The material demonstrates how a private intelligence agency works, and how they intentionally, target individuals for their corporate and government clients,” added the press release. 

The online organization claims to have evidence of the firm’s confidential links to large corporations, such as Bhopal’s Dow Chemical Co. and Lockheed Martin and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defense Intelligence Agency. 

WikiLeaks founder Australian born-40 Julian Assange is now in Britain fighting extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning on rape and sexual assault allegations, crimes and WikiLeaks has long expressed concern that if he is sent to Sweden, Stockholm would quickly send him on to the United States. Washington is impatient to lay hands on the founder after the organization’s publication of hundreds of thousands of classified US diplomatic files.

Hurricane Irene in the United States Useful and Helpful Precautions:

Hurricane Irene’s cone of ambiguity is getting absolute frightening.
