Despite the constant, incessant, pervasive portrayal by the media, schools, and cultural and political elites, that blacks are the eternal victims and white people are unregenerate racist oppressors, there is evidence that the indoctrination and brainwashing have failed.
More and more Americans, including young Americans, are just not buying the victimology fairy-tale — not any more. The shameful behavior of the MSM and black race hustlers like Jesse Jackson, the New Black Panthers, and Barack Obama (“If I had a son, he’d look just like Trayvon!”) in the Trayvon Martin case — before the judicial system even has a chance to deal with the shooting — will only alienate even more Americans. (See “Doing the Trayvon race hustle.”)
Kevin “Coach” Collins reports for the Western Center for Journalism, May 2, 2012:
Recently released results from the Public Religion Research Institute hold seriously bad news for the long term viability of the Democrats and Barack Obama’s chances of reelection. The pollsters spoke to adults between the ages of 18 and 24about their views on race relations, and their findings were surprising.
One of the questions they asked these young people centered on whether they thought the government paid too much attention to the complaints of blacks and minorities in general. They were asked about the existence of reverse discrimination and if it was a problem in their view.
These young people – “millennials” as they are labeled by sociologists- don’t seem to be following the Democrats’ script on how they should think about racial issues. Almost half of them (46%) believe the government pays too much attention to the complaints of minorities, and 48% feel that discrimination against whites is a considerable problem.
When the responses from minorities were removed to count only the responses from white millennials (who represent 2/3 of the millennial population), a sizable majority (56%) agreed that the government caters to the concerns of minorities too much.This is not good news for a Democrat Party that so heavily relied on “white guilt” to elect an unqualified black man as our president.
This is a hammer blow to the race-hustling world view of the Democrat Party and it’s main “white guilt” salesmen like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Young white people have been taught a conflicting message, and the framers of that message will reap the destruction it brings.
A lifetime of listening to baseless charges that they have somehow discriminated against minorities is apparently not being passively accepted by white millennials. They don’t feel guilty of discrimination toward minorities. Apparently, a majority of them are beginning to compare the devastating effect “Affirmative Action” programs have had on their innocent parents and older siblings to the unwarranted preferential treatment of minorities by our government and refusing to smile and accept their undeserved punishment.
A new book, White Girl Bleed A Lot, is also helping to expose the victimology race hustle. (H/t FOTM reader Wade)
Written by Colin Flaherty, an award-winning Washington Post (!) reporter, the book is subtitled “The return of race riots to America and how the media ignore them.”
Along with widespread racial crime and violence. In hundreds of episodes in more than 50 cities since 2010, groups of black people are roaming the streets of America — assaulting, intimidating, stalking, threatening, vandalizing, stealing, shooting, stabbing, even raping and killing. But local media and public officials are silent. Crime is color blind, says a Milwaukee police chief. Race is not important, a Chicago newspaper editor says. The kids were just blowing off steam, says a Philadelphia social worker. Thanks to YouTube, we now know the truth. This is the first book that puts it all together. “This is a challenging book. An interesting and powerful and ultimately persuasive book by a great American writer not afraid to look at one of the most thought about but unspoken features of American life.” — Dan Auld, award-winning journalist. “Magic. Flaherty speaks from his strength, which is understanding media. He links together abundant citations, all from mainstream media and many from African-American media, in order to illustrate his point. ” Houston Examiner
Get your copy of the book here and spread the word. This tsunami of black racial violence is domestic terrorism. Burying our heads in the sand and ignoring this reality will only put ourselves and the lives of our loved ones in danger.
I refuse to be intimidated and terrorized. Join me!
Claiming self-defense, a man, X, shoots another man, Y, dead.
No. This is not yet another rehashing of the Zimmerman fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, although there are important similarities.
You see, like Trayvon Martin, it turns out the victim, Y, was unarmed. Unlike Martin, Y was mentally disabled, with the mental capacity of a 12-year-old.
But in this case, the roles are reversed. The shooter is black; while the victim is part Hispanic.
KSAZ Fox 10 reports from Laveen, Arizona, April 4, 2012, that about 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, a man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.
At the same time, 29-year-0ld Daniel Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between him and the driver. They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.
The unarmed victim Daniel Adkins
The driver, a 22-year-old black male whose name has not been released, called police.
Adkins’ grieving family members want that driver arrested, but he’s claiming self-defense, saying that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them. But it turns out Adkins was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end. A metal pipe or bat was never located.
The dog, Lady, stayed by Adkins’ side until the Humane Society came.
According to Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson, an independent witness said Adkins had swung his fists in the driver’s direction: “He swung his fist towards the driver window, and at some point the driver shot him.”
Adkins lived with his mom and dad. He’s 29, but his family says he was mentally disabled with the mental capacity of a 12-year-old. He didn’t drive, and walked wherever he went. His sister Marina Reyes said:
“He [the shooter] needs to be behind bars. I’ll never see my brother again. If he felt that my brother was threatening him, he could have easily just rolled up the window and called the cops. This person is still on the loose and I don’t agree with that. So he’s saying self defense, then where’s the weapon? Where’s the pipe? They didn’t find anything on my brother. He [the shooter] was just too aggressive, you don’t need to go that far.”
But the shooter has not been arrested. Sgt. Thompson said “Just because we don’t book a person immediately does not mean we don’t charge a person at a later date.”
The investigation is still ongoing.
So how come Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their willing accomplices in the media aren’t up-in-arms over the killing of an innocent mentally-retarded man? How come we don’t see images of Adkins when he was an angelic 8-year-old and of his hulking shooter splayed all across newspapers and our TV screens? How come the New Black Panthers haven’t put a $10,000 bounty on the shooter’s head?
And why is it that Barack Obama hasn’t said “If I had a son, he’d look just like Daniel Adkins”?
Where’s the outrage?
Wait! I know, I know!
It’s because the victim is not black, but the shooter is black!
Since the weekend, we’ve all seen the news about the revenge killings of 3 blacks by 2 white men in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
And, of course, the media’s coverage of black Trayvon Martin and his Hispanic-white shooter George Zimmerman continues ad nauseum.
But did you know about the St. Patrick’s Day incident in Baltimore, Maryland — of a feral black mob attacking a white tourist?
No?
To top it off, the local TV news station’s coverage of this incident studiously avoided identifying the racial identities of victim and perpetrators. But since we have eyes, we can clearly see that for ourselves in the video.
First, CBS affiliate WJZ 13′s report. I’ve colored certain words in bold redto draw your attention to reporter Mike Hellgren’s studious avoidance of any racial adjective:
BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Caught on camera– a tourist being beaten in downtown Baltimore, and instead of helping him, a crowd laughs and steals his belongings.
Mike Hellgren has the video and the investigation. Police hope this video will get the attackers off the streets.
The video shows a man being punched in the face in downtown Baltimore. You can hear his head hit the pavement near the entrance to Courthouse East.
Instead of helping, people laugh. Then, the crowdstrips him naked and takes his car keys, watch, money and iPhone.
It happened St. Patrick’s Day. Police say the victim was out partying and woke up the next day at his hotel, cut and bruised with no idea why.
“He had every right to leave wherever he was and get back to where he needed to be safely. Their behavior was just criminal,” Det. Nicole Monroe of the Baltimore City Police Department said. “Not only was he relieved of his property after he was assaulted, but there were a lot of other things done to him that are disturbing to look at, and we want to bring these people to justice,” Monroe said.
Those who’ve seen the video are outraged.
“Oh, my God! Where’s the police?” Antonio Richardson of Baltimore said after seeing the video. “It gives us a bad name, Baltimore. And people don’t want to, you know, trust us to come down here.”
“It’s surprising, but it’s dangerous,” another person said. “It’s awful, obviously. You just have to be really careful on those days. You can’t just be wandering around the streets,” Diego Tapia said.
Police say they’ve gotten leads but made no arrests. “The public is going to be helpful in this case, and they have been helpful thus far,” Monroe said.
Those who filmed it for fun and posted it for the world to see unwittingly provided cops and prosecutors with the key evidence in this vicious attack.
The victim didn’t even know that such a video existed until a relative watched it online and told him.
After the attack, people bragged about it on camera. Tens of thousands of people have seen the video online.
—
Now watch the video:
The eunuchs in the news media will NEVER EVER call this vicious attack by a gang of blacks on a white man what it is — a racial hate crime.
Why?
Because of the Obama administration’s unofficial but spoken policy:
In March 2011, when news came that the Dept of Injustice refused to prosecute the New Black Panthers for their voter intimidation in a Philadelphia voting place in 2008, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said it’s becausethey’re “my people.”
In August 2011,an editorial in Investor’s Business Daily, “Concealing Black Hate Crimes,” stated it plainly: “Across the U.S., mobs of black youths are organizing on Facebook to loot stores and beat whites. Yet none dare call the “flash mob” attacks hate crime, least of all the attorney general.”
That’s because the same AG Eric Holder had already declared (on March 2, 2011) that whites can’t be victims of racial injustice because they haven’t suffered enough.
In other words, in Obama’s Amerika, there is no such thing as racism or hate crimes against whites. Racism, by definition, is only committed by whites (or not so white) against blacks.
Update (April 11):
A second, more graphic video has emerged of the attack. Unsurprisingly, Baltimore’s police commissioner declared this is not a hate crime. Go here.
UPDATE (April 14):
Police have arrested one man, Aaron Parsons, but only because he turned himself in.
A police surveillance video of a handcuffed George Zimmerman arriving in a police cruiser shows the shooter of Trayvon Martin as being leaner than he was in the standard photo we’ve seen. More importantly, Zimmerman does not appear to have visible blood or bruises on his face and head, despite his claim that Martin had punched him in the nose, knocked him down and slammed his head into the ground.
Matt Guttman reports for ABC World News, March 28, 2012, that the surveillance video, which was obtained exclusively by ABC News, shows Zimmerman arriving in a police cruiser. As he exits the car, his hands are cuffed behind his back. Zimmerman is frisked and then led down a series of hallways, still cuffed.
Zimmerman, 28, is wearing a red and black fleece and his face and head are cleanly shaven. He appears well built, hardly the portly young man depicted in a 2005 mug shot that until a two days ago was the single image the media had of Zimmerman.
The initial police report noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the back of the head and nose, and after medical attention it was decided that he was in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser to the Sanford, Fla., police station for questioning. His lawyer later insisted that Zimmerman’s nose had been broken in his scuffle with 17-year-old Martin.
In the video an officer is seen pausing to look at the back of Zimmerman’s head, but no abrasions or blood can be seen in the video and he did not check into the emergency room following the police questioning.
Zimmerman was not arrested although ABC News has learned that the lead homicide investigator filed an affidavit urging Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter. The prosecutor, however, told the officer to not file the charge because there was not enough evidence for conviction.
The deputy manager of Obama’s reelection campaign is now accusingthe Republicans of “politicizing” the Trayvon Martin shooting. That is laughable, given the shameless race hustling of political figures such as Jesse Jackson; Representatives Bobby Rush, Maxine Water, Frederica Wilson, Hank Johnson; and Barack Obama himself — all Democrats.
Most egregious of all is the $10,000 reward that the racist New Black Panther Party has offered for the capture of George Zimmerman, “wanted dead or alive,” and the call for the mobilization of 10,000 black men to capture Zimmerman. The New Black Panthers are most certainly NOT Republicans.
The Obama reelection campaign’s accusation that Republicans are politicizing the Martin shooting is a classic example of psychological projection. We can now add “political party hustling” to the race hustling of Obama and his fellow Democrats.
UPATE (March 30):
Still photos from the video do show Zimmerman with a head wound. Go here.
Aliyah Shell killed while she played on her front porch.
Shooting death of 6–year-old girl punctuates lethal Chicago weekend
‘She didn’t deserve this,’ mother says;49 people are shot citywide, 10 fatally
Chicago Tribune (March 20): Diana Aguilar was distraught with grief Monday as she sat in the purple-and-pink bedroom of her 6-year-old daughter, gripping photos of her “baby.”
Two days earlier, on a sunny afternoon more like a June day, Aliyah Shell was sitting between her mother’s legs on the family’s Little Village front porch as Aguilar untangled her hair. The family had a friend’s birthday party to attend.
Suddenly, shots rang out from a pickup truck. Aguilar said she knocked her 2-year-old daughter on her back and hugged Aliyah tightly. But Aliyah was shot several times and died that afternoon at a hospital.
“She didn’t deserve this,” the mother repeated over and over again Monday as she sat on her daughter’s bed, which was covered with bright balloons, stuffed animals and family photos. “They’re not people. They’re animals for doing this to my baby. A person with a heart would never do this, so they’re not people.”
Aliyah’s shooting was the most shocking of a particularly violent weekend in Chicago. According to an analysis by the Tribune, 49 people were shot — 10 of them fatally — from late Friday afternoon through early Monday, mostly on the South and Southwest sides. Chicago police, excluding Monday morning from the calculation, said nine homicides took place over the weekend.
The deadly weekend continues a violent start to 2012. From Jan. 1 through Sunday, homicides soared 42 percent, to 94 from 66 a year earlier, according to a police spokeswoman. So far in 2012, nonfatal shootings rose to 408, up from 296 a year earlier, a 38 percent jump, she said. That continues a troubling trend that started in the last quarter of 2011. Police say gangs are to blame for much of the violence, including Aliyah’s killing.
Prosecutors identified both suspects as Latin Kings street gang members who were looking to shoot rivals from the Two-Six gang. Luis Hernandez, who allegedly goes by the nickname “Murder,” admitted in a statement to police that he saw the children on the porch before he opened fire, according to Assistant State’s Attorney Peter O’Mara.
Others killed during the violence:
Joel Sanroman, 42, shot in the head early Saturday as he drove in the 3100 block of West 53rd Street in the Gage Park neighborhood.
Adrian Cruz, 24, shot multiple times around 7 p.m. Saturday while standing in the 5900 block of South Fairfield Avenue in Chicago Lawn.
Vincent Fitts, 22, found shot in the head at 7:50 p.m. Saturday near 79th and Cottage Grove Avenue.
Jeremy Anthony, 24, who police believe drove himself to the University of Chicago Medical Center after being shot in the back while sitting in his car in the 6300 block of South Ellis Avenue in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
Bert Lindsey, 36, killed early Sunday from shots fired from a passing vehicle into a backyard party in the 7500 block of South Wolcott Avenue in Auburn-Gresham.
Equilla Coleman, 24, and two others were found shot early Sunday in the 1400 block of West 53rd after police nearby heard gunfire and found them with gunshot wounds.
Anthony Scott, 19, died Sunday — two days after he was shot in the 6300 block of North Oakley Avenue by a man who called him over to his vehicle.
George Marrero, 27, was killed at 10:50 p.m. Sunday during a gang-related drive-by shooting in the 1300 block of North Harding Avenue.
An unidentified 34-year-old man was shot multiple times in the chest about 1:35 a.m. Monday. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where he later died.
Why aren’t Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the New Black Panthers (NBP) in Chicago going after these Hispanics that are killing so many people? Why aren’t the NBP in the streets of Chicago seeking justice for so many innocent people shot and killed?
It’s tough to care for your fellow mankind when you are blinded by a racial political agenda.
A term coined to describe those individuals of a particular race who project themselves into the media spotlight as spokespersons whenever there is an alledged racial incident which involves their race. The use of the word “Hustler”, included as a part of the term, also implies that these individuals expliot a racial situation to serve their own interests.
Trayvon Martin (l); George Zimmerman (r)
Photo of Martin is deceptive because it was taken when he was 12 years old
The Incident:
George Zimmerman, 28, Latino-white mixed race, shot to death an unarmed black male Trayvon Martin, 17.
Date:
Evening of February 26, 2012.
Place:
The Retreat at Twin Lakes, a recently-built electronic-gated private community of condos and townhouses in Sanford, Florida. The community reportedly experienced numerous instances of burglary, theft, and one shooting during the previous year, with 402 calls made to the police.
What happened:
Martin was walking to the home of his father’s girlfriend from a convenience store. Zimmerman followed him, after calling the Sanford Police Department’s non-emergency number at 7 p.m., saying he witnessed what he described as “suspicious” behavior — of a man “just walking around slowly looking at houses” in the rain with his hand in his waistband and holding something in his other hand . The police dispatcher tape recorded Zimmerman saying, “This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something.”
The dispatcher recommended that he not take any action, and informed him that police were on the way. Zimmerman reported that Martin had started running. The dispatcher asked him if he was in pursuit and he affirmed that he was. The dispatcher informed him that pursuit was not necessary, saying “We don’t need you to do that.” Zimmerman affirmed “OK” and made arrangements to meet with police when they arrived.
Soon afterward, Zimmerman fatally shot Martin.
When the police arrived, they reported finding Martin face-down and unresponsive, with a gunshot wound in the chest. The police report states that they attempted CPR, paramedics arrived and continued CPR, finally declaring him dead at 7:30 p.m.
Invoking Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, Zimmerman described the shooting to the police who arrived on the scene as self-defense, telling police he had stepped out of his truck to check the name of the street he was on, when Martin attacked him from behind as he walked back to his truck. Zimmerman said he fired the semiautomatic handgun because he feared for his life.
But Martin was unarmed, and was carrying a bag of Skittles candy and a can of Arizona brand iced tea.
Statements by the police say Zimmerman had grass on his back and his back was wet. Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and the back of the head; subsequently his lawyer stated that Zimmerman’s nose was broken. However, the police report does not indicate that Zimmerman required medical attention.
The police took Martin’s body and stored it in a morgue, calling him “John Doe”. The morning after the incident, Trayvon Martin’s father Tracy called missing persons and the police to report his son as missing. Officers were dispatched to the home, where they showed the father a crime scene photograph of Martin for identification purposes.
The responding officers did not arrest Zimmerman, saying on March 12 that they did not find evidence to contradict his claim of self-defense. Sanford police chief Bill Lee stated, “Mr. Zimmerman was not acting outside the legal boundaries of Florida Statute by carrying his weapon when this incident occurred.”
Photo of an older Trayvon Martin
Trayvon Martin:
17 years old; 6″ 3″; 140 lb.
Parents are divorced; Trayvon lived with mother; was visiting his father at father’s fiancee’s rented townhome in Sanford.
Had no criminal record , but had just been suspended from school for 10 days for being “late too many times,” according to Trayvon’s English teacher Michelle Kypriss. According to Trayvon’s father, the suspension was because Trayvon was “in an unauthorized area on school property.” Father gave no additional clarifying details.
Update (Mar. 27):New informationhas emerged that paints quite a different picture of Trayvon:
He’s been suspended from school three times.
He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a ‘marijuana pipe’ and a baggie with drug residue.
Martin was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a ‘burglary tool’ and a bag full of women’s jewelry.
George Zimmerman:
28 years old; 5′ 9″; 250 lb; married; a registered Democrat and self-identified “Hispanic American”.
Son of a Peruvian immigrant mother and a physician and U.S. military veteran father.
Licensed to carry a firearm.
Respects and admires law enforcement officers and aspires to be one. In 2008, Zimmerman enrolled in the 4-month Seminole County Sheriff’s Office citizens’ law-enforcement academy.In 2009, he re-enrolled in Seminole State College and was working toward an associate degree with the goal of becoming a police officer. Seminole State College withdrew Zimmerman’s enrollment because of the shooting controversy.
Criminal record: Zimmerman clearly is a pugnacious man. He was charged in 2005 of “resisting arrest with violence and battery on an officer” while interfering with the arrest of a friend. Zimmerman entered a pretrial diversion program, so the charge of resisting arrest is not considered a conviction on his criminal record. Zimmerman was accused of domestic violence by an ex-fiancee who filed for a restraining order against him. Zimmerman counter-filed for a restraining order. A judge eventually ordered them both to stay away from each other for at least one year.
A vigilant crime watcher: Zimmerman was chosen as a watch coordinator by his neighbors.Some neighbors call him “strict” while others say he’s “normal,” “helpful” and “passionate about neighborhood security”, having thwarted a previous burglary attempt. According to the Miami Herald, Zimmerman had placed 46 calls to the police since the beginning of 2011, “to report disturbances, break-ins, windows left open and other incidents; nine of those times, he saw someone or something suspicious”.
His father said that, in the wake of the controversy, George Zimmerman has received death threats, disconnected his phones, and moved out of his home. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee said Zimmerman had cooperated with investigators. Zimmerman eventually retained an attorney by March 24.
Disputed cell phone calls:
Both Martin and Zimmerman made phone calls during the incident, some of which were recorded. Recordings of 8 calls to the police made on the night of the shooting were released by the Sanford police on March 17, 2012.
Early press reports incorrectly indicated that the recordings included the sound of a single shot followed by a voice pleading or begging for help, and then a second shot is heard, after which the voice immediately stopped. Later reports indicate that gun was fired only once. Zimmerman told police at the scene that he was the one crying out for help.
According to phone records provided by T-Mobile,Martin was speaking on a cell phone to his girlfriend at the time of the incident. She was interviewed by an attorney, who has made a statement. According to the girl, Martin expressed concern about a “strange man” following him, and she advised him to run. She claims to have heard Martin say “What are you following me for?” followed by a man’s voice responding “What are you doing here?” She said that she heard the sound of pushing and that Martin’s headset suddenly went silent, leading her to believe that he had been knocked down. She attempted to call him back immediately, but was unable to reach him.
A portion of what Zimmerman said in the call to police is disputed. Some have suggested the disputed words were “fucking coons”, an ethnic slur used against black people, while others suggest it was “clueless”, “course”, or “punks”. Joe Oliver, a Zimmerman family friend, claimed he heard the word “goon”.
Contradictory witnesses:
An eyewitness to the physical altercation just prior to the shooting stated that Martin was on top of Zimmerman and beating him up, while the older man yelled for help.
Another witness, who had only heard but not seen the events, believed Martin was the one calling for help, and claimed that the police tried to “correct” her into changing their assertion to Zimmerman as the one calling for help.
Yet another witness who also heard but did not see the events, Mary Cutcher, claimed that she believed the cry was from Martin and said that she did not believe that Zimmerman acted in self-defense, contending that she and her roommate heard Martin cry out, followed by a gunshot, whereupon they saw Zimmerman standing over his body.
How the shooting became a racist cause célèbre:
The shooting death of Trayvon Martin has ignited into a racial conflagration, with George Zimmerman and Sanford law enforcement being accused of racism. Zimmerman is accused of racially profiling Martin. Allegations were also made that the Sanford police were protecting Zimmerman.
Thousands of people attended rallies around the country to demand Zimmerman’s arrest,including a gathering on March 22 of civil rights leaders including Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III, Dick Gregory, and others.
A petition by the left-wing Change.org has gathered more than 1.3 million signatures demanding Zimmerman’s arrest. The NAACP sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder stating that they “have no confidence that, absent federal oversight, the Sanford Police Department will devote the necessary degree of care to its investigation” and requesting that personnel be detailed to Sanford to review the case without bias.
Many people, from self-styled civil rights leaders to public officials, are piling on with incendiary comments and statements about the shooting. They include:
Al Sharpton, one of the most outspoken activists in the Martin case, has devoted entire hour of his MSNBC show “PoliticsNation” to coverage of the shooting and interviews with Martin’s parents. On March 22, he participated in a rally in Sanford, Florida with Martin’s family and friends. CNN’s media watchdog Howard Kurtz questions Sharpton’s role as both reporter and activist.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed that no stone would be left unturned in finding justice in the Trayvon Martin killing case.
She praised Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s decision to set up a task force to find the truth about what happened, and appointment of a replacement prosecutor for the case, Angela Corey.
Jesse Jackson, who called Trayvon a “martyr” and said “blacks are under attack.”
And Barack Obama, who on March 23, briefly addressed the Martin killing in response to a reporter’s question. Obama said, “Obviously, this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through. And when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids…. If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” Imagine if a white President had said that about a white victim of a black shooting!
The racist New Black Panther Party has offered a $10,000 reward for the capture of George Zimmerman. On the steps of Sanford City Hall, New Black Panthers (NBP) handed out “wanted dead or alive” fliers that had Zimmerman’s picture. When asked whether he was inciting violence, NBP leader Mikhail Muhammad replied defiantly saying: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
The bounty announcement came moments after NBP members called for the mobilization of 10,000 black men to capture Zimmerman. Muhammad said members of his group would search for Zimmerman themselves in Maitland and Jacksonville — where Zimmerman had worked before the shooting.
Muhammad said the group’s national chairman, Dr. Malik Zulu Shabaz of Washington, D.C. is receiving donations from black entertainers and athletes.
Sanford police chief Bill Lee repeatedly defended the investigation, stating that the Sanford police did not feel they had conducted a racially biased investigation and welcomed a review of their efforts. Lee stated to reporters that they could not arrest Zimmerman because no evidence contradicted his story, and that to do so would leave them open to litigation. He also stated that though a 911 officer did instruct Zimmerman not to pursue Martin, those instructions are only recommendations that do not carry a legal obligation to comply with them.
Three out of the five members of the Sanford city commission, including the Mayor, passed a motion of no confidence in regards to Lee and his handling of the case. One member of the council, Mark McCarty, then asked for Lee to step down. On Mar 22, 2012, Lee announced publicly that he temporarily stepped down from his position as chief of police, stating “my involvement in this matter is overshadowing the process.”
Defense of Zimmerman
In an open letter, Zimmerman’s father, Dr. Robert Zimmerman, defended his son against allegations that his actions were racially motivated, stating that Zimmerman was part Hispanic (his mother is a Peruvian immigrant), was raised in a multi-racial family, and “would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever,” claiming that the portrayal of his son as a racist “could not be further from the truth.”
Zimmerman’s lawyer Craig Sooner stated that Zimmerman is not a racist, that he had mentored black youths in the past, and that only one side of the story is being told.
Zimmerman’s friend, Joe Oliver, 53, a former television news reporter, noted “I’m a black male and all that I know is that George has never given me any reason whatsoever to believe he has anything against people of color.” Oliver said it was Zimmerman’s voice on the 911 tape calling for help.
A new witness, known only as John, has come forth telling Sanford police that he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman shortly before the fatal shot.
Florida’s Stand Your Ground law:
Florida law, as of 2005, includes a “stand your ground” provision, under which a person can use deadly force if they reasonably believe it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm, in most circumstances. In many states, such laws protect people in their own homes, but Florida’s version extends the no-retreat premise to vehicles and public places.
Since its passage, shooting deaths with claims of self-defense have nearly tripled.Durell Peaden, a member of the Florida Senate until 2010 and one of the authors of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, said that based upon his understanding of what happened, Zimmerman should be prosecuted. According to Peaden, the law does not say that a person has a right to confront another. “The guy lost his defense right then,” said Peaden. “When [Zimmerman] said ‘I’m following him,’ he lost his defense.” But Zimmerman claimed that he was returning to his SUV when attacked, telling police he had stepped out of his truck to check the name of the street he was on, when Martin attacked him from behind as he walked back to his truck.
Former NAACP leader and conservative black pastor C.L. Bryant is accusing Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton of “exploiting” the Trayvon Martin tragedy to “racially divide this country.” Rev. Bryant said today in an interview with The Daily Call: “His family should be outraged at the fact that they’re using this child as the bait to inflame racial passions.” Bryant, who was once the chapter president of the Garland, Texas NAACP, calls Jackson and Sharpton “race hustlers” who are “acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy.”
Yesterday, Breitbart.com released a tape from Obama’s college days which Andrew Breitbart before his sudden death on March 1 had promised would do the job of vetting neglected by the media in 2008. In this video, Obama extolled Derrick Bell, then a prof at Harvard Law School, as a great man.
In my post on the video, I had provided a description of Bell from Wikipedia. Now, we have a better description, penned by John Perazzofor FrontPageMag.com, March 9, 2012. Here are excerpts:
“[...] by the time Barack Obama was delivering his glowing remarks about Derrick Bell in 1991, the professor had already established—and would continue to cultivate for another two decades—a reputation as someone who thoroughly, resolutely detested the United States and who viewed the nation’s institutions and its people as irremediably racist. In short, until his death last October at the age of 80, Bell was secular academia’s version of Jeremiah Wright—a raging, fulminating racist without the clergyman’s robe. And something about his philosophy resonated strongly with Barack Obama.
Derrick Bell is best known as the founding father of Critical Race Theory, an academic discipline which maintains that society is divided along racial lines into (white) oppressors and (black) victims, similar to the way Marxism frames the oppressor/victim dichotomy along class lines. Critical Race Theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently its legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid. A logical derivative of this premise, according to Critical Race Theory, is that the members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing.Such a perspective’s implications for the ability of civil society to function at all, are nothing short of monumental.
Further, Critical Race Theory holds that because racism is so deeply ingrained in America’s national character, racial preferences (favoring blacks) in employment and higher education are not only permissible but necessary as a means of countering the permanent character flaws of white people who, as Bell put it, seek to “achieve a measure of social stability through their unspoken pact to keep blacks on the bottom.” [...]
Ideological conformity among blacks was of the utmost importance to Bell,since wherever he looked, he saw white racism. [...] By Bell’s reckoning, “the racism that made slavery feasible” was “far from dead.” He added: “Slavery is, as an example of what white America has done, a constant reminder of what white America might do.” Bell also railed against the racism that motivated acts of white-on-black crime, lamenting that “even our lives … are threatened because of our color.” That claim did not square with the fact that more than 90 percent of African American murder victims nationwide are actually killed by fellow blacks, but it made for a nice sound bite. And in fact, Bell did not entirely turn a blind eye to the epidemic of black-on-black crime. That phenomenon, he explained, was itself a reaction to white oppression: “Victimized themselves by an uncaring society, some blacks vent their rage on victims like themselves.” In other words, whenever something bad happens, it is always the fault of whites.
As Bell saw things, white malevolence knew no bounds. In one of his writings, he mused that if scientists were to someday develop a magical pill that could transform any black person who consumed it into a perfectly law-abiding individual, whites would undoubtedly conspire to destroy it so as to prevent such an effect. Why? Because black crime, he explained, benefits many whites such as those who profit from the manufacture of prison uniforms. Wholly disgusted by the white race, Bell predicted that eventually America would witness the rise of charismatic new black leaders who, in the interests of retribution, would “urge that instead of [African Americans] killing each other, they should go out in gangs and kill a whole lot of white people.” Presumably this was some of the lofty “scholarship” that so impressed Barack Obama.
Bell endorsed a journal called Race Traitor, whose stated aim is “to abolish the white race, which means no more and no less than abolishing the privileges of the white skin.” Moreover, the publication’s guiding principle is: “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” In 1999 Bell signed on to a Race Traitorarticle that stated: “If the task of the nineteenth century was to overthrow slavery, and the task of the twentieth century was to end legal segregation, the key to solving this country’s problems in the twenty-first century is to abolish the white race as a social category—in other words, eradicate white supremacy entirely.” Among Bell’s fellow signatories were Pete Seeger, Cornel West, and Howard Zinn.
So this was Derrick Bell, the man whom Barack Obama feted on that 1991 day at Harvard, just four years before Obama was to launch his own political career in the home of two America-hating Marxists in Chicago—Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
[...] a 33-year-old Obama routinely assigned works authored by Bell—including the latter’s racialist interpretations of seminal civil-rights cases—as required readings in the courses he taught at the University of Chicago Law School in 1994.To be sure, Bell’s work appeared on Obama’s syllabus more frequently than that of any other author—a clear indication of Obama’s high regard for Bell’s scholarship.
Still more recent was Obama’s alliance with William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn—an alliance that shifted into high gear when Obama was 34 and remained in high gear (via his collaboration with Ayers on the radical Chicago Annenberg Challenge) until Obama was at least 38. And of course Obama’s attendance at (and his monetary contributions to) Jeremiah Wright‘s famously racist church from approximately age 27 until he was 47, says something noteworthy about his mindset during those years as well.
Pro-Obama automatons will dismiss these and all other references to Obama’s alliances as nothing more than mean-spirited attempts to smear a great man by way of innuendo and “guilt-by-association.” By contrast, people with a capacity to reason can surely understand that there is something far more profound at play here. In the final analysis, people should be free to throw their support behind a socialist who has spent his entire adult life allying himself with America-hating radicals and Marxists, if that is whom they choose to embrace. But when doing so, it is vital that they at least be cognizant of the fact that they are indeed backing such an individual.”
Now we know why Obama’s Department of Justice refused to prosecute the racist New Black Panthers for their intimidation of white voters in the 2008 elections. As Obama’s henchman Attorney General Eric Holder put it, that’s because the New Black Panthers (NBP) “are my people.”
And who are the NBP whom Holder calls his people? Here’s NBP leader “King” Samir Shabazz captured on video saying he hates all white people, “every single one of them,” and calling for the killing of all white babies.
In other words, the New Black Panthers are exactly what Derrick Bell had advocated: “instead of [African Americans] killing each other, they should go out in gangs and kill a whole lot of white people.”
Now we know why Obama had marchedwith the New Black Panthers in 2007.
When you go to the DMV to get a driver’s license, don’t you have to show identification proving you are who you say you are?
When you go to the Post Office to get a passport, don’t you have to show valid identification proving you are who you say you are?
When you go buy something in a store without using cash, don’t you have to show your driver’s license to prove you are who your credit or debit card says you are?
Then why is it that when we go to the voting booth to exercise one of the most important acts as an American citizen, we shouldn’t produce valid ID to prove we are who we say we are? And if you favor voter ID, you’re called a racist?
To prevent voter fraud, many states have passed voter-ID laws. Some of those states even provide a valid identification for free to residents who do not have a driver’s license.
The Supreme Court has upheld those voter ID laws.
But the Obama administration is attacking those exact same laws, using the contorted justification that asking for voter ID discriminates against minorities.
Really? Does Obama have such a low opinion of America’s racial/ethnic minorities that he thinks they’re too stupid to know how to acquire a voter ID card?
Judicial Watch reports, Dec. 7, 2011, that the Obama Administration is once again utilizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) as a political tool, this time to challenge voter identification laws.
The powerful chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz) is calling ID laws a “full-scale assault” on minority voters designed to “rig” elections for Republicans.
Eight states have strict laws that require a voter to provide picture identification in order to cast a ballot. All but two of the states—Georgia and Indiana—passed their measures this year. But the DOJ’s bloated civil rights division says those measures are “discriminatory” in purpose or effect. Targets of the DOJ’s discrimination probe are Kansas, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi.
Reiterating the administration’s “commitment to robust civil rights enforcement,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Thomas Perez confirmed last week that DOJ lawyers are reviewing some of the recently-enacted state laws to ensure that they are not racially discriminatory. “We have received numerous inquiries about recently enacted state laws relating to voter identification requirements, voter registration requirements and changes to early voting procedures,” Perez said, adding that “we are carefully reviewing these laws.”
In 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter ID law, ruling that the state’s interest in protecting the integrity of the voting process outweighed the insufficiently proven burdens the law may impose on voters. “There is no question about the legitimacy or importance of the State’s interest in counting only the votes of eligible voters,” the nation’s highest court said in its decision.
The ruling makes the DOJ’s aggressive intervention all the more questionable, like some of its other politically-motivated actions. Earlier this year Judicial Watch obtained internal government records that show political appointees at the DOJ ordered a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party dismissed. Clad in military attire and armed with weapons, members of the radical group intimidated white voters with racial insults and profanity during the 2008 presidential election and were scheduled to be prosecuted.
H/t beloved fellow Tina.

Democrats have engaged in voter fraud in 2008 and, most recently, in 2010. Head of the DOJ and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder even admitted that he wouldn’t prosecute the New Black Panthers ’cause they’re “his people.” It’s high time we start calling the DOJ under Obama the Department of Injustice.
Maybe that’s why, more than a year ago, the DOJ changed its website’s banner from the red-white-and-blue to this ominous black:
In 2008, Obama was touted as the “post-racial” presidential candidate whose candidacy, at once, was symbolic of a new post-racial tolerant America as well as the promise that, as President, he would further heal this country’s historical racial divide.
Like the rest of Obama’s “Hope & Change” rhetoric, that too turned out to be a chimera.
According to an article in the UK’s The Telegraph, May 25, 2011, a new study by professors at Harvard Business School and Tufts university finds that white Americans now feel more discriminated against than blacks.
The studypolled roughly 200 white people and 200 black people drawn at random from a national census and asked them to rate racist attitudes against blacks and whites in each decade from 1950 to 2000.
Both groups felt racism against black people was substantial in the 1950s and both groups agreed the situation had markedly improved.
However, white respondents to the survey indicated that racism is now on the rise against white people. 11% of respondents even gave anti-white racism a maximum rating of 10 points.
Little wonder, given the reflexive demonization of Obama’s critics as racists, not to mention the refusal of Obama’s Justice Department to prosecute the New Black Panthers (NBP) for voter intimidation. In 2008, NBP showed up in Philadelphia voting places dressed in black paramilitary uniforms and carrying billy clubs.
Historians in the future, after the hypnotic fog has lifted, will conclude that Obama’s presidency actually set back racial relations in America — by decades.
It’s now official policy. In Obama’s America, victims of crime and abuse now are color-coded.
It began with the head of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Eric Holder declaring that the New Black Panthers (NBP) who intimidated voters at a Philadelphia voting station in 2008 won’t be prosecuted because they’re “my people” – i.e., because they are black. Led by their leader King Samir Shabazz, members of the NBP in Philadelphia intimidated voters by standing before a voting place in the city, dressed in their uniform of black beret, black jacket, black pants, and black boots and carrying clubs in their hands. Shabazz also was captured on video saying he hates all white people, “every single one of them,” and calling for the killing of all white babies.
Then Holder implied that whites simply haven’t suffered enough to be considered victims of racism when he defended his refusal to prosecute the NBP, saying:
“Think about that. When you compare what people endured in the South in the [19]60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people.”
Now, the DOJ is further making it clear that the Obama administration will not protect white school kids from bullying. As part of Obama’s anti-bullying campaign, the DOJ states on its website that children will be protected from bullying and harassment in schools. However, the DOJ also states that it will enforce this policy in accordance with the Equal Protection Clause, Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since whites and males are not considered victim groups under Title IV, this effectively excludes whites, especially white males, from the DOJ’s protection against school bullies!
[T]he Obama administration has made school bullying a federal issue. Last week, President Barack Obama addressed an anti-bullying conference with First Lady Michelle Obama at his side. The administration’s anti-bullying campaign has been ongoing since the beginning of Mr. Obama’s term. The Department of Justice announced in December 2010 its intention to hold liable school districts that fail to protect students that are bullied.
“The Civil Rights Division and the entire Justice Department are committed to ending bullying and harassment in schools, and the video highlights the Department’s authority to enforce federal laws that protect students from discrimination and harassment at school because of their race, national origin, disability, religion, and sex, including harassment based on nonconformity with gender stereotypes.”
The statement later says:
“The enforcement of the Equal Protection Clause, Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in school districts is a top priority of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Additional information is available at the Civil Rights Division’s Educational Opportunities Section website at http://www.justice.gov/crt/edo/.”;
Here is the catch. DOJ will only investigate bullying cases if the victim is considered protected under the 1964 Civil Rights legislation. In essence, only discrimination against a victim’s race, sex, national origin, disability, or religion will be considered by DOJ. The overweight straight white male who is verbally and/or physically harassed because of his size can consider himself invisible to the Justice Department.
Apparently, the Justice Department is going by George Orwell’s famous Animal Farm ending: “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”
“We can only take action where we have legal authority,” wrote DOJ spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa in a December 2010 e-mail to The Washington Times Water Cooler. She continues: “As stated in the website below, we are statutorily authorized to initiate suits under Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974, and under Title III of the American with Disabilities Act. More information on the Civil Rights Act, Equal Educational Opportunities Act, and the ADA can be found here: http://www.justice.gov/crt/edo/faq.php#3.”
So the message from Obama’s DOJ to all people-of-color schoolyard bullies is this:
Go for the whiteys!
And if you’re white and you find yourself being discriminated against, abused or bullied, and you look to Obama’s DOJ for protection or you seek justice from Obama America’s courts – Good Luck!
