Less than 48 hours after the controversial George Zimmerman verdict , the N.Y. Daily News ran a powerful front page about the victim, Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was found not guilty on Saturday in the killing of Martin, a decision by a Florida jury that set off a wave of protests around the country. The Daily News explicitly linked Martin, the slain teen, to martyrs of the civil rights movement ( Emmett Till ), and black victims of hate crimes (James Byrd, Jr.): For the last 17 months, the case has been a lightning rod for gun debates, legal disputes, and perhaps most notably, racial tension across the U.S. Clearly, the Daily News is prepared to stoke those flames. The newspaper’s cover plays on Martin’s hoodie, which became a symbol of his (alleged) racial profiling in the aftermath of his February 2012 slaying. Zimmerman claimed, conversely, that he did not profile Martin – his brother Robert Zimmerman Jr. said race was not a factor in the case – that night. Instead, he cited media bias against the accused, who claimed self-defense, and urged that people respect the jury’s verdict before rushing to judgment. What do you think: Did the jury get it right?

Kanye West is “ignorant” and “distasteful,” according to the American Parkinson’s Disease Association, and not just because he impregnated Kim Kardashian . The group is livid with the new father of Kaidence Donda West (or whatever the baby name really is) for lyrics that use Parkinson’s as a punchline. In “On Sight,” from his new album Yeezus , which dropped Tuesday, Kanye raps “A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz.” “We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson’s.” Yeah. We can see how some might not be thrilled. In response to the song, APDA VP Kathryn Whitford said in a statement: “We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance .” For over 50 years, the group has been the nation’s largest organization dedicated to helping those with Parkinson’s and furthering efforts to find a cure. No response from Kanye’s camp … but we don’t recommend taking a page out of Lil Wayne’s playbook following that rapper’s Emmett Till “apology.” What do you think? Should ‘Ye apologize for the lyrics?
