A group of Facebook users are outraged that a Facebook hate page was created called "RIP Trayvon Martin". The page featured derogatory photo-shopped images of the deceased teenager who was shot and killed last year by neighborhood vigilante George Zimmerman who is currently on trial facing second-degree murder charges.

Ife Johari and Sista Dez have been leading an effort to get the page taken down but now a second page has been created and Facebook has been slow to take it down despite thousands of complaints.

Johari writes in an Facebook event she created to take down the second page,

"The "person" has now created "RIP Trayvon Martin" part 2! THIS PAGE MAY BE WORSE THEN THE FIRST ONE! A message must be sent to Facebook from ALL OF US! We will NOT allow this! This could be picture of your MURDERED CHILD circulating and being photo-shopped all over Facebook!"

She asks that Facebook users and all their friends report the foul page. https://www.facebook.com/RIPTRAYTRAY2

The news and social media is buzzing about Zimmerman murder trial witness Rachel Jeantel who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin while he was being hunted by George Zimmerman and was the last person to speak to him except George Zimmerman. Another witness testified that it was a boy she heard crying for help which flies in the face of claims that George Zimmerman was the one heard crying out on the 911 tape recording. 

More allegations are surfacing about Paula Deen's racist treatment of Black people with employees alleging pay discrimination and that one cook was referred to as "my little monkey". Author Ann Rice stepped into the fray and claimed that Paula Deen was being "crucified" and "lynched" by a mob. 

The Supreme Court sent a parental rights case back to the lower courts in South Carolina involving a Cherokee father's quest to keep custody of his daughter after the mother, without his knowledge gave the little girl up for adoption to a non-Cherokee family who had the girl for 24 months.
