Edward Wyckoff Williams of The Root published an insightful article examining the different treatment by Sanford officials and others in the state of Florida of George Zimmerman and the New Black Panther Party members who offered a reward for the apprehension of Zimmerman with the intent to turn him over to federal authorities. While the article is constructive in pointing out the apparent racism/white supremacy in the City of Sanford’s response to Zimmerman contrasted with the treatment of members of the Panthers, he should be more careful in his word choices.

Holder, Jr. Attorney General of the United States U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Dear Mr. Holder: I'm writing you on behalf of BOND Action, a national nonprofit organization committed to "uniting the races with truth, instead of dividing them with lies." In the aftermath of the shooting death of 17-year old Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, we've seen racial tensions fueled by the New Black Panther Party, Rev. Al...

George Zimmerman is facing charges of second-degree murder. A jury will decide his guilt or innocence. Here’s hoping the criminal-justice system cools rather than exacerbates the passions the killing of Trayvon Martin has raised. But Attorney General Eric Holder isn’t helping. Wednesday, he appeared before the Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network to praise Sharpton “for your partnership, your friendship, and your tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless, and to shine a light on the problems we must solve, and the promises we must fulfill.” This is the same Al Sharpton who...

A Florida television station's claim that the Tampa Bay New Black Panther Chief, Michelle Williams, apologized for calling for a race war rings hollow.

Some of the racially derogatory comments made by the New Black Panthers chief that raised brows during Bubba’s Tampa Bay-based radio show included the following racial rant: “Let...

There is a story behind the story in the Zimmerman case. We have all heard about the numerous tweets and posts that are promising vengeance if Zimmerman is acquitted, but you must look beyond that. The promised racial riots are simply a cover for something bigger in my opinion. The call for blacks to riot is simply a smoke screen for a hidden agenda. My best suggestion is to be prepared to defend your family because there are some who want these “riots” to extend outside the State of Florida and we must look at the source. Whenever the New...

When I first heard of this story, the first thing I thought of was the Duke lacrosse case. Everything here lined up perfectly just as the Duke lacrosse case did for a stereotypical situation or cliche to be fulfilled. And before anyone knew the facts, look indeed what happened: That stereotypical was filled in, all the blanks were filled in, and everybody got into gear just as they did during the...
