The problem with blackness as found in the popular / left-leaning culture is that the exact same theory of race — that the color of skin says so etching ineffable about who a person is, can be, or indeed even should be — that was once used against blacks (to keep them out) is now being used by blacks against other blacks (to keep them in as well as encourage and accelerate race radicalism).
And leftist non-blacks have been all too eager to give ear and place to every whiff of this doctrine because for whites it means guilt and culpability just because they are white. Liberal whites thus get to prejudge themselves morally superior to any non-PC whites and they even get to be bigoted against blacks, just on the terms the race radicals advance, and judge them too based on race (does anyone think being judged a victim jest because is harmless or that it doesn’t come still weighted with the detritus of presumed inferiority?).
Between the Marxist underpinnings and rampant No True Scotsman fallacies (and Only True Scotsmen fallacies?) the capacity for clear thought is eroded and instead the polar opposite of King’s I Have A Dream speech is advanced.
Talk about a revisionist propaganda hit piece full of implied and inferred lies.
This article is like saying ice cream is sweet denying it is made of cream and it is cold.
He uses a tiny sliver of truth and one percent of the story to create a total bold faced lie.
I respect your view, but lets not forget that before policing became a vocation, then a profession, the average citizen was required to be the police.
This was a time worn tradition for thousands of years.
Back in those days, if you were caught out after dark, you would be beaten and brought before the magistrate in the morning.
Or even killed. Roman vigiles who were often slaves were the fireguards of the ancient Roman times, and they would kill you if you were caught out after dark.
The prevailing thought was if you were out after dark, you were up to no good anyway.
Lisa Durden, who was an adjunct professor at Essex County college in Jew Jersey until she was fired for . . .
What the?
Agreed, and all are members of the CPUSA.
Nope. No matter his actions he did not initiate an attack Martin.
Martin was not forced to jump him and the choice to do so was without compulsion.
Martin died BECAUSE he chose violence. His blood is on his own hands.
The reality is when we send our kids to college we pay these people.
Damn, the “something” to “so etching” typo / autocorrect combo has struck again,
A half-truth is worse than an outright fabrication.
There were numerous robberies in Zimmermans gated community,it was night time and the kid wasn’t walking on the sidewalk, but up on the lawns near the entrances of the homes. That’s why he got out to follow him, to see what he was up too. The popo said they don’t need him to do that, hence he headed back towards his car, and was attacked.Zimmerman had every right to do what he did, Trayvon had no right even being at the gated community.
Glad you were there to see the whole thing. /sarc
The police did not tell Z to mind his own business that is a lie. They told him “that is not necessary” and they were referring to him finding the proper street sign and housing number where he had last seen the martin. That 911 call was played repeatedly at the trial and was never challenged on this point. This was a constructed media lie that the gullible among us swallowed hook line and sinker.
Z did not force the confrontation, that again is a lie. All close proximity and close physical observation had been ended for over 4 minutes before Martin ambushed and tried to kill Z. As pointed out to the jury, Martin had enough time to crawl to his fathers house in those minutes if he had truly been scared or felt threatened. Martin chose to circle back around and ambushed Z a full four minutes after Z had stopped observing him and broken off contact with him. After all contact had been terminated that was Martin’s choice and his chosen actions. This comes directly from sworn eyewitness testimony at the trial.
Both of these lies are quiet clearly and thoroughly documented and verbally highlighted in the trial testimony. Neither of these points were even contested by the prosecutor.
You can have your own opinion but you do not get to make up your own facts.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it!"
More often than not, people get racially stirred up because someone wants them stirred up and Trayvon gave "them", those who do the stirring, a crisis opportunity they didn't let got to waste. Same with the "gentle giant" in Mo.
LBJ knew what he was doing. He bragged about it and he was right.
Sad to say it, but virtually every political solution to solving the perceived racial inequality issues have only perpetuated the common negative stereotypes instead.
For example, affirmative action serves as a formal, legal admission that a black man or woman can get into a school or get a job without GovCo's help.
The rest of God's creation is fine, but you, black man, and you, black woman, you're just not good enough to make it here without government help. And worse, to say otherwise is racist! Dear God, please help US.
Another example is how this nation can't have Voter ID laws because they are somehow racist against black men and women. Seriously?!? What does that say about black men and black women and exactly who is saying it???
This is some nasty mental/emotional malware we've been infected with and it keeps slavery alive and well maintained.
Look around. Here in the land of Social Justice, ours is not the physical form of black slavery anymore. That's just so uncivilized, doncha know.
You need to do a little more research. Zimmerman was on his way back to his car when he was attacked by Trayvon. You don’t know enough about the case to have an opinion.
I guess they must have conveniently forgotten about their sainted youth trying to murder someone first.
Where in those 3 sentences does he throw "a whole race of people under the bus?" He never mentioned an entire race of people.
No one is defending Zimmerman as a conservative. He was doing his neighborhood watch thing. He trailed Martin while phoning in a report. The police officer on the phone told him to return to his car, which he was doing. Martin had spotted him and apparently got mad. He followed Zimmerman and was in the process of pounding his head into the concrete when Zimmerman shot him in self defense.
The local police investigated and treated it as justified, self-defense shooting. Time passed. Martin's parents saw a payday opportunity. They consulted lawyers and activist groups. They mounted a PR campaign accusing the Florida authorities of racism for failing to prosecute Zimmerman. To support this shakedown, they constructed a falsified narrative of the incident. They also rolled out the cute kid picture of Trayvon to mislead the public about the full-grown teen who was beginning to accumulate a criminal and drug history.
The point is, for the rest of our lives we are going to get the St. Trayvon myth waved in our faces as the left plays bloody shirt identity politics. I am already tired of correcting the lies and I am not looking forward to several more decades of doing so. But the fact is, we now face a radicalized left that lies habitually and strategically. This is a multi-front war, and one of the important ones is to refuse to let the left rewrite history. I have already stood up a couple of times as a parent in school assembly situations to, very politely, correct the record. I am prepared to do so on this, and other, subjects whenever necessary. I am no longer going to sit silently while professional liars do their thing. I am always civil. But no more backing down.
Excellent post.
How much more of this incompatible “racial marriage” are we going to put up with before both sides declare it a failure and agree on a friendly separation, with each side going its own way?
See there?
