The Extraordinary Anger

             In the article, "Hug a Hoodie: What the U.K. Teaches Us About Making a Sweatshirt a Symbol," it talks about the sad event where Trayvon Martin was murdered for racist thoughts against him where the guy thought he was a threat. It still can't be taken into affect to prosecute the man because of Florida's controversial self-defense law. In respect of Trayvon millions of people wore hoodies to represent the anger against the law and their care for him. This has become such a big thing and people all over are sad about it and it will probably go down into history.
             People are angry because the state can't actually accuse him until they have set in stone proof, yet everyone knows that he still did kill him and that it was a hate crime. Over in the U.K. people still respect Trayvon and are angry at what happened but it is hated upon to where a hoodie over there. For example, "In the United Kingdom, the hoodie is also associated with low-income young people up to no good—but there, in response to public agita about crime, politicians from both sides of the political aisle—including former Prime Minister Tony Blair—have endorsed campaigns to ban hooded sweatshirts from public places in an effort to combat what the British call 'anti-social behavior.' " I find it absurd the it is such a big deal that it is actual enforced over there. It was a show of honor for the people there to stand up to the government and where the hoodies anyway for Trayvon.
             Certain events can strike big affects all over the world. This was an event that happened down in Florida and became an international issue that caused many reactions and feelings. This shows that there is still racial hate going on despite the years of fighting for rights. The fact that bad events need to happen for people to realize that there should be change is terrible. Even with that being true blacks and many other races still don't have their freedom and rights fully through all the horrible events that they went through. I am very happy to know that people in the U.K. took their stand and made it clear to the government and us that they care and are not happy with any of this.
