Did we put up "Iron Curtain" style walls last night while I was sleeping? If not, what is keeping these folks here if it's such a terrible place?

“Everything went quiet, everything and everyone,” Garza says now. “And then people started to leave en masse. The one thing I remember from that evening, other than crying myself to sleep that night, was the way in which as a black person, I felt incredibly vulnerable, incredibly exposed and incredibly enraged."

Garza instead should have felt ignorant, betrayed, and misled by the race-baiters she was apparently getting her "facts" from. Apparently, she missed out on the small detail that this young man attacked Zimmerman, knocked him to the ground, and was bashing Zimmerman's head against the ground repeatedly. Zimmerman, then, like any intelligent human being, defended himself with a totally legitimate use of deadly force.

These poeple act like they can simply imagine some alternate reality, and then they're entitled to be offended when the actual facts disagree with their fanciful delusions.

Remember early on in that case, when all the black leaders were just saying "All we want is a fair trial"?

Well, they got their fair trial: the facts were aired, justice was served by Zimmerman's acquittal, and it turns out, in view of the facts, that this young punk basically brought on his own death. How? By initiating a violent assault against somebody. Those who take such actions should always expect to lose life or limb as a result.

In a Free society, a person is not required to submit to a a life-threatening beatdown. In a Free society, the friends, relatives, and racial brethren of people who initiate such assaults should not be surprised when they end up dead. The young man, subscribing to a destructive and false "thug" paradigm, acted diametrically in opposition to civilized society, and thus made a mistake which cost him his life.

The lesson gained here should be that, when you assault somebody, this sort of thing can and will happen. And the way to prevent such things is not to initiate assaults. Failing to energetically rebuke such thinking on the part of youth is the real crime, and it occurs every day.

Civilized society has a very ancient, straightforward notion called "self-defense". Live it. Learn it. Love it. Or die by it.

In the Collectivist Tyrannies of Europe, this concept has been abandoned. That is of little concern to those who would rather be Free.

The sooner the black community is disabused of their outlandish fantasies regarding objective reality and the absolute right to self-defense, the sooner we will make real progress in race relations in this country.

Defending oneself against criminal assault is not "White Privilege", but rather "Unalienable Rights".

The article above is the height of hysterical, socialist, alternate universe propaganda and has to have been written either in Europe or the Northeast.

Black lives do indeed matter! So it's time for black parents, family, and community leaders to educate their young men on how to maximize the quality and length of their "black lives", about the reality of the right to self-defense, and to not be apologists for behavior which will invariably lead to so many young men's "black lives" being needlessly cut short.

...Martin had been unarmed attempted to murder Zimmerman, using PERSONAL WEAPONS

According to the FBI, hundreds (or thousands) of people are murdered each year by "personal weapons" (the FBI's term).

Personal weapons include such things as fists, hands, elbows, feet, etc.

"Unarmed", my 455.

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.) ~ Educator, Author, Civil Rights Leader

The lucrative race-grievance industry and Obama-Holder demagogues have been around a long time. Apparently the race-grievance industry is offering franchises.
