What would happen if a black man armed with a handgun confronted "suspicious persons" in his neighborhood? What would happen if the "suspicious persons" were unarmed white teens, one of them was shot dead, and the shooter claimed self-defense?
This is not an exercise in mere speculation. We know what would happen in such a case. There would be no white mobs in the street chanting "No justice, no peace!" There would be no whites holding a "million hoodie march" in New York City. There would be no white equivalent of Al Sharpton, the professional race-baiter behind the 1987 Tawana Brawley hoax, leading marches in the streets of the shooter's hometown. There would be no Federal civil rights investigation by the Justice Department. There would be no comments from a president who seems congenitally unable to keep his mouth shut on matters involving left-wing political correctness. And there would be no national media attention from biased, left-wing "reporters."
We know this because in fact, such an event occurred in 2009 in Greece, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester. Roderick Scott, a black man, shot and killed an unarmed white teen, Christopher Cervini, whom he believed was burglarizing a neighbor's car, with a licensed .40 cal. handgun.
There are many similarities between the Scott-Cervini case and the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case in Florida. In both cases, there had been a spate of criminal activity in the neighborhood. In both cases, the shooters called 911 to report suspicious activity, yet chose to confront the unarmed suspects outside their residence and off their own property prior to the arrival of the police. In both cases, the shooters claimed that they felt threatened, and fired in self-defense. In both cases, local law enforcement applied relevant state law.

And perception is reality.
Right. In Critical Race Theory, (social studies diversity doctrines) only whites are racist; they are born that way by virtue of their skin color. Our constitutional Republic is racist. Our history is racist. Racial revenge is justice.
“This wasn’t a black white thing! It was Hispanic Black thing!”
True. I guess this proves the race mongers are racist against Latinos as well.
What if Trayvon was black?
And instead of being “white”, the shooter was Hispanic with black family?
Oh! Wait....... I get it. That could upset the narrative.
So the shooter would still have to be portrayed as “white”.
,,,, a total news blackout !!!
chirp.
What if both were white? Or both were black? What if we didn’t know their race?
Zimmerman stopped/approached someone that he didn’t recognize as being from that neighborhood. He was right.
A witness places Martin on top of Zimmerman beating him. Forensic evidence backs that up.
Zimmerman racially targeted and just shot down a black kid in cold blood? The evidence says “AAANK.... WRONG!”
Does this help answer the question posed in the headline?
Texas Elderly Man Reportedly Kidnapped, Raped in ‘Hate’ Attack

Could not find follow up to see if the animals were caught.
Could not find another MSMerde (Ass.Press ABCBSNBCNN, NYTimes, WaPOSt , etc) links to the story though a lot of blogs commented on it.
Could not find any comment by aO bama.
Ask the 13 year old white boy who was doused with gasoline and set on fire, while his black assailants yelled racial slurs at him...
This whole thing makes me sick...
Most blacks today do not have any memories of those times, since they happened back in the 1930s, a few in the 1940s and no lynchings of blacks in the 1950s(some were killed over the civil rights protest, but no lynchings). There were never "countless" blacks lynched, even in the south. More than there should have been but not in the numbers you suggest.
The blacks today have no memories of being treated like sh**, what they have is the memory of so called black "leaders" telling them that whitey has caused all of their ills and whitey needs to pay.
Saying it is ok for blacks to kill whites in the numbers they are doing today because some blacks were lynched back in the 1920s and 1930s is BS. Want to blame someone for those times? Blame the democrats because they were the political party upholding that type of behavior. KKK were all demwit party members.
I was recently surprised to find out that Latinos are only considered to be white when they kill a black guy.
All the Communists/Racists who’ve hurried to the front lines of the latest protest industry event may wind up with egg on their collective face.
Fox News Miami is reporting that there is an eye witness who says he saw what happened and that Martin attacked Zimmerman and that Zimmerman was on the ground and Martin was punching him in the face. Zimmerman’s back was wet with grass stains and his face was bloody.
It’s a real tragedy because two lives have been destroyed and the Communist agitators have seized this incident to bring out their dupes and rehearse their plans for hot weather riots.
Today,we are only one generation from those times and Black Americans still live with painful memories of those events
I grieve for those white Americans who are victims of racial crimes, but please do not use today's Black on white crime as an attempt to minimize the countless Black people who were lynched in the most horrible ways imaginable and never reported
A lot of injustice happened in the past - all over the world. And not just to blacks. And especially not just to the relatively small percentage of the world's blacks who lived in America at the time.
Fortunately no one living in America today had to experience any of the treatment you speak of. But those things still do go on in other parts of the world.
Today the racial-grievance-for-profit-business has rolled over good hearted efforts to ensure equality and justice in America for everyone.
The bright promise of America today is being thrown away so some people can extract "payback" and enrich themselves by wallowing in racism and setting race against race.
Sometimes you just have to man up and move along in life.
Got kick out this comment from a concervative blog:
Robert Zimmerman, the father, told the Orlando Sentinal “George Zimmerman is Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family.”
Barack Obama also has one white parent. The media never calls him a “white man.”
Yeah, I’ve read about that stuff. Been going on for a while. Seems the race of the aggressors may be a factor. PC is insanity and insanely complicated. What galvanized me was when the president weighed in and so provocatively. He is speaking to a group that has been pandered to by Black community types as well as guilty white jackasses (politicians.teleplay-screenwriters,authors teachers etc)for nigh on 40 years. It may not end well. “White Hispanic” indeed.
I have never heard of “Critical Race Theory” I went to conservative colleges in the 80s.
I can tell Marxism is the rule just by talking to younger college folks. Many are brainwashed useful idiots.
It does not surprise me that this race theory is taught in major (leftist) universities.
It explains the outrage over Trayvon Martin, and why no one cares about the 2008 NBP voter intimidation case.

“Did you shed tears when Black men and women were lynched and their fingers and toes cut off and handed to the crowd as souvenirs?”
When was that, 1920? That isn’t part of the desegregation era; it is much earlier. Your father might remember it, though he would one of the few left alive that could.
“do not use today’s Black on white crime as an attempt to minimize the countless Black people who were lynched in the most horrible ways imaginable and never reported”
While this occurred and was terrible, and is very much a part of our history, you’d be surprised between the reality of the numbers involved and the perception fueled by race-baiters. When BJ Clinton claimed to remember black churches burning in Arkansas while growing up, it was accepted as The Truth because it had become part of The Myth. Subsequent research proved that not a single black church was burned during that period in Arkansas (though he did set off a couple of suthern church burnings that resulted in arrests of blacks for insurance fires in the 1990s).
The Myth isn’t just about blacks; look at the number of Irish people killed since The Troubles began in the late 1960s, and you’d be shocked that it could be spun into so much. I don’t think the number even reached 2,500 over several years, yet it plays out in our media & American culture as though it was full-fledged war (by comparison the British lost 60,000 men in the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916 - more than we lost during the whole Vietnam War).
It’s not white people that blacks have to fear today....it’s their own kind they have to fear.
