If the hoodie fits.
Mr. Pitts fits the leftist disinformation campaign as outlined here: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/05/trayvon_and_zimmerman_the_structure_and_elements_of_a_disinformation_campaign.html
Highly recommended, right down to the use of Trayvon for the kid and Zimmerman for the shooter.
I have NEVER understood why this event got so much screenplay.
This happens almost EVERY day somewhere in America.
Even if you factor in the white/mixed factor,
What makes this one such a big deal?
Well, OK, I know it is a leftist ploy to exploit it.
FOAD, Pitts.
He did. There, I said it. I would've done exactly the same thing. Actually no. According to the defensive firearms training I've had, in that situation you're supposed to empty the magazine into someone attacking you at that range. At that range an attacker is too dangerous and must be stopped immediately. The very next blow from the attacker could kill or incapacitate you leading to your death. So there is no shoot, look/evaluate, maybe shoot again. As the instructor put it, at arms reach or less, empty the magazine into an attacker, then re-evaluate as you reload. But what the h*ll, what does he know - just an ex SEAL and current firearms instructor...
Or of a boy enjoying a cell phone conversation with a girl and not overly eager to return to where his sweet nothings might be overheard by his dad.
Aw, isn't that just so sweet - I think I got a cavity just reading it. Totally irrelevant. Martin was on top of Zimmerman, beating his skull into the concrete sidewalk. No matter how those two people came to be in that situation, that's where they were at. At that time Zimmerman's life was most certainly in danger. He had every right, every obligation to protect himself and respond with deadly force. End of story.
What a self-righteous, sanctimonious limosine-liberal fool. Someone should challenge him to live in the ghetto unarmed and without bodyguards for a year.
The purpose of Neighborhood Watch, an official government funded organization, is to report just this behavior to the police.
Well, as the navigator said to Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove, "I'm sorry, sir, but those are the figures."
Most of these race-baiter types know exactly what the deal is and only spew their nonsense for public consumption by idiots. But there are a few, like Mr. Pitts, who are stupid enough to really believe it.
The urban black thug is most definitely a “cliche” but many thousands of black Americans are murdered by this “cliche” every year.
If we are to believe the phone records Skittles was on the phone for 6 hrs that day with DeeDee. His Dad was not home at the time of the incident.
Here is the comment I posted there:
I think Mr. Pitts makes some good points. But he is really missing the BIG picture for the black community.
That is that it is not white people, or “white-hispanic” people, or even the police who are a danger to the black community. It is black people killing other black people that is the main problem.
I don’t know why the black community and people like Mr. Pitts continue to overlook this problem and instead focus on man-bites-dog stories like this unfortunate incident.
If Trayvon Martin had been set upon by another black fellow and killed for the pocket change he had left after the skittles and iced tea purchase it might not even have made the paper at all.
Stuff like that happens every day.
It’s a problem. Especially for the victims.
When is ANYBODY going to deal with it? [End quote]
I did think he made some good points about not judging people by their facebook pages and twitter feeds (is that what you say, twitter feeds?).
But he was just silly about the “sweet nothings”.
And another commenter at the site had a good point about Dad not being home to supervise the suspended Trayvon.
But, my main point is still the same. How long are black people going to keep falling for the “distractions” provided them by the Left?
The "we" of the above quote is the black culture for the past 2 decades.
Everybody I know who is not black, initially presume the opposite, however, a very large percentage of the black culture identifies their "blackness" with criminality and criminality with their "blackness". It is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, especially when they ignore the rights of their victims, such as this article asserts.
It is an unspoken phenomenon amongst honest blacks, giving rise to their perception that all others are racist, exacerbating the problem.
Zimmerman’s comments about Mexicans and his ex-girlfriend were written SEVEN years ago, when he was 21.
‘Boy’ is a white,racist word!
-Michael Evans,from ‘Good Times’
Face it, some people will not face reality - particularly if it doesn’t fit their agenda.
Pitts IS the ‘arm pit of commie media’. The following lies are typical of a ‘Pitts Piece’:
1. “Or of a boy enjoying a cell phone conversation with a girl and not overly eager to return to where his sweet nothings might be overheard by his dad.”
LibTard LIE! Daddy was away from the house, “couldn’t
have overheard” Trayvon.
2. “we as a people have grown comfortable with the belief that black is crime and crime is black. Nor are African Americans immune to the effects of that invidious formulation.”
Libtard Lies! Blacks are 39 times more likely to be
killed by a black than a white. Truth
isn’t “invidious”. Truth is just true.
3. “.. we — African Americans — still believe the garbage of innate criminality.”
Deliberate duplicity! Blacks are far more likely to be criminals, and the statistics are clear and unambiguous.
4. “maintaining a society that, in ways both overt and covert, still makes criminality a function of skin.”
Black BS! Pigmentation is predictive, not determinative.
Black individuals decide to become criminals.
5. “Trayvon Martin was killed by a stereotype.”
Black Lie! Trayvon died for pounding a man’s head into the sidewalk.
“You asked for it. You got it. Trayvon.”
My apologies to Toyota.
Yeah I would say it was a stereotypical bullet.
Leonard Pitts Jr., the author of this piece.
Leonard Pitts Jr. wants us not to consider blacks as a group when crime is involved. Does he really think there are no cultural aspects to high black crime rates? Does he really want us to not consider blacks as a group when, say, Affirmative Action is the subject? I don't know his position on this, but I know where I'd place my bet, and it would be squarely on hypocrisy for Leonard.
