Paramount Owes America an Apology for Jay-Z's Trayvon Series
americanthinker.com ^ | 8/1/2018 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 08/01/2018 8:44:53 AM PDT by rktman

On Monday evening, the Paramount Networks aired the first part of a six-part documentary series on the death of Trayvon Martin called Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.

If multimedia impresario Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter had chosen to tell it, there was a story to be told here: a story about a boy bounced around among his biological parents and other relatives after his parents' divorce; a story of a boy whose descent into drugs, guns, fighting, and burglary accelerated after his father left his stepmother, Alicia, his "rock," when Trayvon was 15.

There was a story to be told of how Trayvon's school shielded him from the criminal justice system – much as the schools in neighboring Broward County shielded Parkland's Nikolas Cruz – even after Trayvon was apprehended at school with a weapon, a burglary tool, and stolen jewelry.

Damn. I forgot to mark my calendar or set the vcr. Maybe they'll replay it with an opening commentary by his pseudo dad 'barry'. I guess someone is making some money of this dead thug again.

He was, at least in the original fictional narrative. And Trayvon was a 12 year old who could have been Obama's son.

I wouldn't watch the crap if they paid me.

Anything that is promoted and produced by this carp-mouthed racist bigot Jay-Z is a sure bet to be full of "whitey did it", "whitey is racist", "whitey is the cause all the problems thug black kids ever have", etc, etc, etc.

I have no use for that self-serving bigoted shite.

Well that’s you. :-) I read someplace that the former (p)resident and the wookie were at an event the other night with their besties “bey” and jay-zzzzzzzzz ‘performing’ and dancin’ to “N**gas in Paris”. How awesome!

I began wathing it near the beginning, just out of curiosity how bad it would be.

I did not last a minute. The leftist bias was so overwhelming I couldn’t force myself to watch it. Nothing but junior high pictures of a clean cut Travon. The narration was really over the top. POS. But we knew it was going to be a propaganda piece. But it was REALLY bad. At least the minute I cringed through.

We’ve got the same thing going on here in Pittsburgh right now.

A cop shot a fleeing 17-year old black suspect in the back and killed him. By all appearances it looks like a bad shoot.

However, the same kid had participated in a DRIVE-BY SHOOTING just ten minutes prior, and the victim in that only survived because his buddy who was doing the actual shooting was a completely lousy shot (emptied a full .40 cal. clip and only grazed him once).

But the media is showing all same the smiling photos of the sweet, innocent teenager that we saw with Trayvon.

Yeah. Sweet innocent teenagers don’t ride along when their buddy tries to assassinate someone on a street corner. They don’t run from the cops, and don’t have an empty clip in their pocket when they do.

And a far greater number did not.

In today's "justice warrior" protected criminal violent thug culture, neighborhood watches are an attempt by normal non-thug citizens to protect their families, their neighborhoods and their cities.

Would you believe that in our neighborhood, people have been mugged and seriously beaten by black thugs to steal their recycled cans money? a few bucks at most.

The protected class simply followed the victims from the recycling center.

Eventually, the convenient, neighborhood recycling site simply shut down.
