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.
One of my colleagues is as left-wing liberal as they come, and she obviously believes that the saintly boy Trayvon was unjustly slain by the evil racist Zimmermann. I gather this by her Facebook posts. I expect we are probably not going to agree on this matter; but I expect it will come up in a conversation at some point....should be interesting if nothing else.
“What, are they just checking their brains and baccalaureate/Masters degrees at the door as they suck this toilet water up without critical review of the facts?”
You have surely heard of race pimps? They are going to diffuse information favorable to the result they wish to achieve- a worsening of race relations so the NAACP and other such people have a reason to continue to exist. Some people have an agenda, and its not good.
Yep, hear the same ignorance from educated black family members. I’m guessing they get their info from HLN or horrors MSNBC.
Almost all black sees nothing but the black view. Expect it. Be surprised when it is not the case.
Liberal black teacher... yep.
Except for a few conservatives, blacks stick with their tribe.
If they don’t expressly admit to being conservative, they are not and will turn on you to support the tribe.
Call me a racist but its true.
)A little about me- I graduated from a 90% black high school in 1878. I live in the hood as the white people of the neighborhood and I work in a 98% minority job).
Typical statist, marxist, leftist, communist, a-holes - lie, lie, lie, lie and then lie about the lies.
That is 1978 when I graduated.
Interestingly, I did a little web search for her text and bingo, there it was, posted online at several sites, a YEAR ago. SNOPES said it was FALSE. Many many black-oriented websites had it posted and demanded the boycott. I saw NOT ONE reply to any of these posts which rebutted the allegations with facts. Not even one. That is very sad. They heard what they wanted to hear, and stampeded just like mindless lemmings over the cliff.
The Koch connection to Zimmerman defense is a fake urban legend. See http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/koch.asp
Thanks for your help anyway!
I think it's sad that the media turned this case, in the minds of many innocent Americans, into something it never was.
I totally agree.
They FEEL he had the legal right? Talk about ignorance!
I could care less! I donated to Zimmerman’s legal defense fund last year and have ZERO regrets for doing so.
What did whatshername say? Whupaaaaaaasssss!
Smoke another blunt sister!
Boycot me and spread the word! Bshaw inc!
Until we figure out how to depose the media from their throne, it will be like this.
In part because of the Bill Gates Foundation. I actually heard a leftist today praising that foundation with near-religious fervor, and I agreed with some of that praise. It's his money, not taxpayer money.
I think if you get the chance to sit down with her at lunch, and the opportunity comes up, you should also mention that George Zimmerman stood up for a black homeless man when a lot of other people didn’t notice or didn’t care, but the media never seemed to bother to report that. And talk a bit about how the media so often tells us that something is about a particular thing, when it really isn’t.
If you work with this person you may have trouble ahead.
