Trayvon died for our sins (Yep, he went there)
The Paradise Post ^ | July 12, 2013 | Jaime O'Neill

If Trayvon Martin had stalked George Zimmerman with a gun and shot him on the evening of February 26, 2012, it’s dead certain he would have been arrested that very nigh, and spent the ensuing months in the slammer, with a very high bail imposed and public opinion stacked against him, with most white Americans inclined to think he was a vicious thug. Finding a jury that could render an objective verdict in the case of a black kid in a hoodie who shot a lighter skinned man named Zimmerman would have been virtually impossible.

In fact, even though he is the person who is dead, Trayvon Martin has been treated to the kinds of character assassination frequently experienced by rape victims. Just as rape victims must prove they did nothing to provoke being raped, black murder victims have to prove they didn’t deserve to be murdered.

It is a crime to be black in this country. In all categories of crime, the number of black men locked up in America’s prisons is vastly disproportionate to their percentage of the population.

But once the racism has been stipulated, the next step must be to seek ways to change the pervasive racist attitudes that poison us all and that get so many black kids killed. Stereotypes about young black men are not only held by self-righteous vigilantes like George Zimmerman, or the fulminating firebrands at Fox News; they’re internalized and incubated in the black community as well. A couple of decades ago, Jesse Jackson was criticized for admitting that even he gets uneasy when he’s on the streets alone and spots three or four young black males coming his way. There’s barely an American to be found anywhere who doesn’t experience a spike in blood pressure at the sight.....

Has anyone counted the number of St. Trayvon threads on FR? Have we reached one thousand yet?

Go ahead.

It is a crime to be black in this country

How can one argue with such "reasoning"? Would I be out of line asking what specific statute makes it a crime?

I think the statement should read. “Blacks commit more crimes than whites, so cops are more suspicious of blacks”.

...if Trayvon Martin had stalked George Zimmerman with a gun and shot him on the evening of February 26, 2012,...he'd have hopped the first bus back to Miami and be braggin about the Creepy-Ass Cracker he killed.

Zimmermans murder would be tossed in the Cold Case file and Trayvon would have the street cred to continue a wasted life and probably other multiple felonies before caught or killed

I would love to lock this moron up in a prison full of the people he claims to know so much about. He can tell them his theories and then they can beat his lilly white ass and gang rape him. It's pretty obvious that he never spent even a minute with black youth from the hip hop thug culture. He doesn't even speak their language.

He’s using the classic liberal technique of projection.
