Interesting text I got today from a black teacher
My cell phone | 7/17/13 | Me, Myself, and I

Posted on 07/17/2013 5:23:19 PM PDT by EinNYC

I answered a beep indicating a text message had come in on my cell phone today. To my great surprise and disgust, a picture of the 12 y.o. Trayvon popped up, with the following text underneath (spelling is just the way it was on the cell phone text message):

"In the wake of the senseless killing of Trayvon Martin...'The company known as Koch', which manufactures paper products is sponsoring and paying for Zimmerman's legal fees because they feel he had legal right to bare arms and shoot Trayvon we are asking that people everywhere ban together and pass this information on and not purchase any of the following items because your money will be paying for Zimmerman's lawyers and legal fees. Please do not purchase any of the following items: Angel soft toilet paper, Brawny paper towels, Dixie plates, bowls, napkins and cups, Mardi gras napkins and paper towels, Quilted northern toilet paper, Soft and gentle toil paper, Sparkle napkins and paper towels, Vanity Fair napkins and paper towels. Please forward this Very Important information to All your Family and Friends. Please Let's Help Get "Justice for Trayvon Martin" Thank you!!!

I was beyond angry and utterly disgusted. The sender is a very nice black woman, fellow teacher, and I could not wrap my mind around her falling in with these Trayvon crappeople. I texted her back that Zimmerman didn't flee the country, he submitted himself to the justice system of this country and there was insufficient evidence for the jurors to him guilty of anything. And that we can't complain if a verdict is not what WE think it should be. She then called me to discuss my text reply to her message. She mentioned the 911 tape as proof. I told her straight up that the 911 call tape had been altered by the media to make Zimmerman look more guilty. No, she didn't know that. She didn't take into account the inflammatory picture of dear Trayvon as a 12 y.o. vs. the age he was at death. She didn't seem aware of the 3 suspensions at school, the burglary tools found in his locker at school, or any of the other evidence which may have been suppressed. Yet she feels confident enough to pass along this outrageous crap on my phone. However, the conversation remained amicable and she even rang off with an "I love you", as did I.

This is really scary, if nice people like this lady are so easily recruited to carry the water for the agitators.

No, she really is a nice person and we get along well. No trouble now, none expected ahead either.

As much as you have apprehension about the race situation, I fear the the insidious creeping inflow of Muslims into this Nation and It’s government with their Koran, burkas or not. Read today where the UofCalifornia has added a Muslim lady to the Board of Regents. No fear of Sharia law hear even though the Muslim has been outspoken about the rights of Muslims. I recommend that if California can flaunt Muslim activists in the university system that donations from alumni who believe otherwise should be stopped. Count me in.

Then you might say something like "That text you sent me turns out to be one of those Internet urban legends. Here's a link to Snopes.com that says it is not true: http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/koch.asp."

Plus maybe something about how easy it is to be fooled by "Internet facts". She will probably be embarrassed that she sent the text to you.

I really do have a feeling that we are witnessing what the Lord meant when he said a lot of people would be “deceived.” He is even going to send a strong delusion to deceive everyone except the elect I beleive. I’m seeing what I think is the beginning of this. No other way to explain it really.

I don’t know, I can explain it pretty readily with “people are stupid.” (And they always have been.)

>> “she didn’t know that”

A “low information voter” as the saying goes...

Context and perception are everything — something Hitler and Goebbels understood quite well.

By golly, Zimmerman has just as much a right to wear a short-sleeved shirt as anyone! Would they take THAT away from him, too? :-)

That is exactly what I did do. I texted her the URL of the Snopes page which debunked the Koch stuff. Haven’t heard anything from her since. I’m thinking she is too embarrassed to text me back, since the Snopes webpage (which is run by LIBERALS) clearly said the rumor is FALSE.

Probably.

A friend once regularly sent me lists of what I call "Amazing Internet Facts." One list was full of particularly obvious falsehoods, so I took the time to research and debunk all ten items on the list. I showed him that not one of the "facts" was factual.

He still sends me emails, but that was the last such list.
