I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but doesn’t this entire event has a “Bonfire of the Vanities” feel to it?
Of course. George Zimmerman may end up serving a prison sentence, even though an eyewitness saw Trayvon on top of him pummeling him before the shot was fired, in order to uphold a fiction.
This case is about the national media and liberals protecting the black community from having to acknowledge the dysfunction and failure among a large percentage of black families.
The specific fiction in the Zimmerman case is that it is NOT possible that Trayvon swing at Zimmerman first and then jumped on him and beat him. That possibility CANNOT be acknowledged out loud.
If that possibility is even allowed to be considered, then that opens up the question of whether Zimmerman really was defending himself.
And if Zimmerman really was defending himself, then this was just another one of a million instances of a young black man perpetrating violence.
As far as the MSM and the political elite are concerned, the public must NOT learn about Trayvon the No_Limit_N*gga with his gold teeth and tattoos and vile and violent tweetings and drugs and school suspension and so on.
None of that is relevant to the case, the MSM and the elite claim.
Nor is it relevant that 80+% of underclass blacks are born out of wedlock to mothers who are turned into basically government employees whose job it is to get pregnant by random men and raise their children on other people's money, with a large percentage of such children never being socialized into society.
That fact is not relevant, they say, to criminality and unemployability and hatred and bitterness and government dependency.
The source of these problems is always "racism," they say.
The ugly truth is that the source of these problems are moral failure and generations of liberal policies. If the American people at large ever came to understand this, then the consequences for the liberal elites and the future of the progressive movement would become rather bleak.
