African-American Lynch Mob

David Horowitz

Is anybody else out there as sick and tired as I am of lynch mob racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (vide: Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse kids) who don the mantel of the “civil rights” movement to indict non-blacks in advance of the facts, and incite racial rage against them? Yet that is exactly what they – and scores of black leaders — are doing to an Hispanic individual named George Zimmerman. Along with a cast of thousands, they are holding him guilty of racism before the fact, justifying a hatred, as inflammatory as the hatred once spewed by southern crackers against blacks.

There is no evidence whatsoever that race was a defining factor in the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. Notwithstanding the absence of evidence, this unhappy incident is now the occasion for school shut-downs, mass marches and public death threats by enraged African Americans, displaying behaviors reminiscent of the lynch mobs that were once a scourge of their parents’ generation in a now rejected past.

The facts surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin have not been investigated and are still uncertain. But the lynch mob has delivered its verdict: George Zimmerman is guilty of a race crime; Trayvon Martin was killed because he was black. “Trayvon is the Emmett Till of our generation,” said one mob leader, referring to the 12-year-old who was murdered by white racists in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.

There no verifiable evidence for this fact-challenged, inflammatory, claim. According to the lone eyewitness to come forward, it was Martin who attacked Zimmerman and was on top of him and beating him to a pulp when the fatal shot was fired. The fact that Zimmerman’s face was bloody when the police arrived, is an apparent corroboration of this version of the event. Is this what happened? We don’t know. But it is a claim that should get tested in a court of law. Unfortunately to a lynch mob the evidence is irrelevant, the conclusion foregone.

If the demonstrators were merely calling for an investigation that would be proper. But the cries for retribution, and the accusations of racism, which dominate the public demonstrations are not. And that goes for the statement of the President as well. Not willing to be separated from his racial constituency, even when they are behaving badly, Obama has lent his prestige to the insinuation that the crime was inspired by the victim’s race. Otherwise there would be no reason to mention the fact that “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon”? Everyone who has a son should be concerned by the loss of this life. By making it racial, the president is establishing guilt without evidence, and indicting non-black America as well.

The display of racial outrage over this case is a national disgrace. It is a throwback to the past and a shameful repudiation of the values the civil rights movement once stood for but apparently does no longer.

Just so there’s no confusion, that is NOT Martin “grown up” in your picture.

It’s someone else.

Yet you persist in reposting that BS pic over and over on this forum.

[jazusamo]

The display of racial outrage over this case is a national disgrace.

David Horowitz couldn't be more correct.

The racists screaming the loudest; Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the New Black Panthers seemed to spur on the man that holds the most powerful position in the world, our own president to join them. It's pathetic.

[wolficatZ]

Well that was in response to gajin, the pic was pulled right as I posted. Guess mods know that too.

[MizSterious]

Thanks, good to read a sane voice on this issue.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Obama is exactly as white as Zimmerman, not that race should matter at all, but it’s telling that the media constantly refer to Obama as the first “black president” and Zimmerman as a “white hispanic”.

Hypocrisy, thy name is MSM.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Yet that is exactly what they – and scores of black leaders — are doing...including most prominently President Obama.....

I agree, Jaz, but you're almost being too kind.

Obama wants division. Not only does it aid his true agenda of undermining and diminishing America, it distracts at least temporarily from his actual record of destruction.

I imagine he figures that if he can sustain fomented outrage through the summer and into the fall, he may just win re-election. It's beyond pathetic, it's somewhere between delusional and demented.

[goodnesswins]

We should all start referring to Obomba as “white-black” or “white-African”....

[thethirddegree]

I won’t start a race war, but I will sure help finish it.

[thethirddegree]

If “blacks” want to start a race war, they should be advised that it won’t end well for them.

[crosshairs]

Jesse Jackson’s comment about spitting in white people’s food is why I refuse to order food at an all black fast food (ex: Popeyes) joint, because I am always suspicious that they will do that. Screw dat.

[jazusamo]

Excellent point, Smooth and you're quite right. I would add criminal to delusional and demented because his plotting has undoubtedly cost lives.

[Jack Hydrazine]

What if Zimmerman had been a Korean? Would the media label him as a “white Asian”?

[tumblindice]

I’ve read here that the `thug’ photo (`Trayvon All Grown Up’) was on his Facebook page before it was scrubbed.

[RoosterRedux]

Obama and Co are going to try to fan this into a domestic Archduke Ferdinand moment.

There is a plan (Alinsky wrote the general outline). For Liberation Theology and Critical Race Theory to be brought to their logical conclusion, there must be an overthrow of the Judeo-Christian/Eurocentric culture to be replaced with a Socialist/Marxist/Afrocentric one.

This is Obama's big chance. He must strike now!

[tumblindice]

The photo has probative value but nobody really knows, although it’s being posted and deleted.
Well, that’s just great.

[dragnet2]

I’ve heard Z called a “White Hispanic” a “Vigilante” “Racist”, with Obama telling America to start soul searching...

The black industrial race complex is in full swing.

[chuckee]

From Wilkepedia

And according to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18 times the rate that whites murder blacks

[ArmstedFragg]

There’s been an evolution from excuse to entitlement. Forty years ago, it was virtually certain that an arrest across racial lines would bring out the “you’re only doing this because I’m (blank)” routine. Not it’s progressed to “I’m entitled to do this because...”.

[BilLies]

Punch “George Zimmerman” into Google or other search engine and watch the hate swell up and over your monitor screen.
I know the MSM will be doing whole series bemoaning the Profiling, Prejudice, Prejudging of accused or alleged murderers from now until the trial is done, exceptions: unless it done by the Negro and Liberal/Progressive Communities.
