He stated "Hundreds of blacks die annually without even a blurb.
Trayvon isn"t in the mainstream news for any reason other than ratings and profit. The news coverage on the Zimmerman case almost implies that the killing of this young black man is somehow an anomaly and I resent that." Malco criticized the negative images of blacks by the same media that now purports to side with Martin.
He asks for an end to reinforcing negative stereotypes from within the black community and suggests that "Education, introspection, self-love and excellence are the only ways to overcome the wrath of ignorance." Nominations Image Music Television Movie Screen Actors Guild.
