George Mason Students Defend 'Trayvon Martin' Class

A fall class offered to George Mason University students has drawn criticism from around the world because of one name in the title: Trayvon Martin.

When sociology professor Rutledge M. Dennis first listed his new sociology class, Plessy to Martin: Race and Politics, he didn't expect the backlash he received.

Without an understanding of what the class would cover, hate emails came pouring into to the professor's office and the school from as far away as Germany, when news came out earlier this summer.

I have no problem with having classes at a school that discuss race and the social perceptions that people have towards it.

I do, however have a problem with anyone attempting to inject racial tones into a situation that NEVER was about race in the first place.

More proof that liberals do not value life unless and until they can attach an agenda to it. In the inner cities blacks are killing blacks in record numbers and there isn't a class dedicated to those victims.
Not a thing will change until the blacks break free of the liberal chains they are tethered to and stop allowing themselves to be used as nothing more than pawns.

Shooting an unarmed black teenager: not racist

Talking about it: racist

Gotcha.

It matter ZERO that Martin was a teenager nor whether was he armed or not armed-"Gotch" 11:01.
At the time the piece of garbage was beating up Zimmerman, none of that was known. That's only an excuse you people use because you have no other excuse for the piece of crap Martin. Face it-in the long run the world is a better place because the budding criminal is 6 ft under.

clowns. 820 consult some facts. Plenty of universities have classes and/or entire units on the topic. Plenty of dissertations have been written on the topic. Do you guys just make everything up as you go? Have enough respect for your own opinion that you actually have some information to back that opinion up.

Stop lying 1:30! That's the problem with you liberals, lies flow out of your mouths so easily whenever you are presented with facts you don't want to hear.
While I'm sure there have been many dissertations written on this topic as well as other college level papers there is no class named nor devoted to black on black crime because it's something you liberals want hidden and not talked about.

"Unarmed teenager". Give me a break. This little bastard was nothing more than a street thug that was kicked out of his home town for drug use and was looking for trouble. He found his trouble and unfortunately for Trayyyvoooonnn. He got he ass shot!
Good Riddance!
