The old media manipulations make conspiracy theories more credible. Most people are shocked when they discover that they are routinely lied to. In much of the rest of the world, favoritism toward a minority, in the name of "fairness" has resulted in widespread violence.

The best study on this is Thomas Sowell's book "Preferential Policies" 1990.

Is Treyvon any relation to Trayvon?

Don’t take his words at face value, because if he is truly somehow crazy, he is likely reinforcing whatever his delusions are.

The day the “respectable” conservatives admit that the media produces nothing but propaganda we have a chance, but till that day I would say our country is doomed.

‘The Thomas Sowell Reader’ is on my nightstand. That man never fails to explain things clearly and rationally. Of course, that never helps when trying to explain my views to a LibTard, LOL!

I'll say this for the guy. He writes well. No misspellings, a couple of arguable grammatical mistakes, cogent arguments.

Interesting that he capitalizes "white" and "whites" but not "black" and "blacks" the way the men seeking men mediums capitalize "black" and "blacks" but not "white" and "whites".

Almost makes me wonder if someone didn't write this for him.

I can almost see a certain someone standing at a podium and reading this screed off a teleprompter.

What makes me sad is that the discussion of how the FemiNazis and all that Women’s Lib crap has produced this generation of crazy young men with no religion or hope, looking for SOMETHING to believe in.

And ‘locking up the crazies’ isn’t going to happen, either, but, a lot of us HERE would be locked up for Thought Crimes, so I’d better be careful what I wish for...

Race baiters are claiming “Fox News runs stories claiming black men are raping white women.”

My wife and I are frequent Fox News viewers and we haven’t seen any such stories. Unfortunately the ignorant liberal sheeple repeat it.

How could the news be blowing up the Trayvon Martin case while hundreds of these black on White murders got ignored?

This places the blame squarely on the shoulders of the media!

If the media reported ALL the news, a more honest picture would be painted and would put an end to the fake outrage and rioting.

The innocents the nutcase murdered because they were black including the pastor of that church who was a state senator were Republicans.

While we should be focused on the conduct of this president and his promotion of racial division begining with the Zimmerman affair to save his sorry xss which resulted in the score or more attacks on whites,hispanics, and asians. Which resulted in deaths and serious injuries caused by black youths claiming retribution for Martin’s demise. Which was never decried by the POTUS who remained silent. This assertion by Dean Weingarten in “Gun Watch” will never see the light of day and be diminished and demonized if it does.

Racism breeds Racism.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Regardless of which "side" it comes from, fanning the flames of bigotry is absolutely counterproductive.

Calling a spade a spade is one thing, but indulging in wild-eyed, knee jerk broad-brushing is horrifically damaging.

The overwhelming majority of Americans, including "angry" blacks, "angry" whites, "angry" Southerners, etc., etc., who have long ago repudiated racism (and all the baggage that invariably accompanies it) can only look aghast upon the fruits of irresponsible rhetoric and race-baiting propaganda.

Most Americans, whatever their prejudices or personal opinions might be, have become wise enough to at least not throw buckets of gasoline onto the fire.

Most Americans really do want to live in peace, as brothers. That's the only thing that has ever saved us, or will ever save us.

Always remember, for instance, that we had non-segregated military units at the supposedly less "enlightened" time of the Revolution, and yet that phenomenon didn't repeat itself until after World War II.

The American Revolution was a magical time, and we as Americans should always honor and cherish the positive and ideal aspects of it.

The brotherhood which true Liberty brings, in its most shining moments, is a force which no Tyrant, no mob, no organization, and no hate-filled individual can ever prevail against, and for that fact I constantly thank God.

No matter how dark things get, Liberty is a beacon to all in this country who are blessed enough to receive it.

Why didn’t this half-wit kill himself before being captured?

Because he wanted to be a TV star.

Bravo, American Press, bravo.

There, you have it. It was not the Confederate flag, it was the MSM, and the internet.

I said what you said, on yesterday’s thread.

Everyone here on FR, good people, also saw the hypocrisy in the media’s coverage of the Trayvon case. All media glorified this “innocent little boy” who was a huge, muscled, drug popping, fighting thug in real life. Not a criminal, but on his way, with truly ugly attitude. Clearly he responded with a dangerous aggression to Zimmerman’s Pretend Cop attitude.

Yet the media never dared say the truth. Many here also came to the conclusion, same as this church killer, that the media were sooooo racist that they didn’t dare tell the truth that this punk acted in a way that begged for him to be shot. He acted murderously when civility was called for. ( A decent “I’m just going to my dads house at 23 Main St” would have prevented his death; what about young black thug culture might be contributing to black families losing their “babies” to murder??)

The killer was warped enough to go all Hitler on this problem when his acts were so much worse than the racism of low expectations in our media.

But the racism we see in all these recent dishonest portrayals of thugs who do what it takes to be killed sits poorly with anyone who is not racist. Ironically. It takes looking only at the actions of the Trayvon types to see that their deaths were due to their behavior. Especially the one who stole the sweet cigars and wrestled with the cop in his patrol car for the gun. Forget color: look only at behavior.

Not one media discussion about how to behave when confronted by all authority, even just a neighborhood watch guy. We won’t dare to correct the behavior of these kids who need to learn civilization.

This media omission could lead to more deaths. From cop shootings as well as from sickos who see the truth and want to fix it in a racist way.

Doesn’t even pass the giggle test. An evil man doing evil deeds will say anything....including a three year old incident leading to his current psycopathy
