This says it all- I need not add more:

You probably won't recognize me or even know my name. My name was Antonio Santiago.
There
is no White Panther party to put a bounty
on the lives of those Black guys who
murdered me. I have no voice, I have no
representation and unlike those who shot
me in the face while I sat innocently in
my stroller - I no longer have my life.You probably won't recognize me or even know my name. My name was Antonio Santiago.
I was the 13-month
old baby who was shot in the face at point
blank range by two Black teens who were
attempting to rob my mom who also got shot. A
Grand Jury of my mommy and daddy's peers from
Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered
me will not face the death penalty because
they were too young... too bad, I was given a
death sentence by them for being too young,
White, innocent, defenseless and in the
'wrong' neighborhood where I lived.
My mommy and daddy made the mistake of being White and living in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder was not ruled a Hate Crime. The Justice Department never even investigated my death, or if my rights were violated. President Obama didn't take so much as a single moment to acknowledge my murder or honor me.
I am one of the youngest murder victims in our great nation's history, but the media doesn't care to cover the story of my tragic demise. Michelle wasn't heartbroken. President Obama has no children who could possibly look like me, so he doesn't care and the media didn't care because my story is not interesting enough to bring them ratings so they can sell commercial time slots.
There is not a White equivalent of Al Sharpton because if there was he would be declared racist, so there is no one rushing to Brunswick GA to demand justice for me.

So while you are seeking justice, rioting and demonstrating for Treyvon Martin, please remember to seek justice for me too. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee-shirts with my face on them and make the world pay attention, just like you're doing for Treyvon Martin.

"There is not a White equivalent ..."
As you long as you don't include Murdoch Media/Fox Networks and the KKK.
