Trayvon's murder was a modern-day lynching.

That doesn't really mean anything. There are lots of people whose face might not in your opinion match their culture. My own cousin is full blooded Korean who talks like anyone else from The Eastern Shore and who makes his living building and showing monster trucks. I kid you not. If you closed your eyes, you'd be certain a Maryland farmer was talking to you.

Of course it means something! If we had a situation where a white assaulted and killed Zimmerman, the media would portray it as a hate crime; a white murder of a "person of color". Come on, you know this.

I know that a lot of the anger driving the Trayvon Martin protests is by emotional idiots engaging in hypothetical reasoning. "If a black man had shot a white child...." That's why I have so little patience with people who start every response with "If it had been...."

I really don't give a fuck who you have "little patience with". The fact is this case is now politicized. Zimmerman is brown and the White House-Soros-MSM continuum is trying like hell to push the Narrative of white racism against blacks. And you know this.

You know this.

This case is as much about politics and media bias as it is the events that actually transpired. To dismiss "hypothetical reasoning" in this case would be like ignoring the politics and spin surrounding last years Tucson shooting.

[Lager]

This absurd political theatre of the left is fast becoming a well rehearsed traveling circus. They have made it common practice now to exploit these tragic situations for personal reasons. Maybe it's to replenish the well of white guilt. Maybe to galvanize the black vote for November, maybe it's just to keep these archaic dinosaurs called Jackson and Sharpton, relevant. But it's time that decent people started calling them out on this. We've got schools handing out skittles for lunch. Sports teams striking ridiculous poses. Black Panthers and "dead or alive" posters. This is just the beginning of what could turn ugly and viral pretty quickly.

Chicago has suffered record instances of gang murders this year and the last. Many innocent victims, including african-americans, have been caught in the cross fire and tragically lost their lives. A sweet six-year old black girl was just shot down on her porch. I wonder what kind of candy she liked to eat? Chicago is where Jackson and this President live. Why is there no sustained outrage or 'soul searching" about her death? Why aren't sports teams writing her name on their over-priced basketball shoes?

Obama's former Chief of Staff is the mayor there. Is that why there's silence? Are they only going to produce this pathetic kind of street drama for incidents where there are no democrats in charge? This is hypocrisy and it's ugly. If anymore blood comes of this, it is on their hands.

If Zimmerman put in an application to UC Berkeley, would his application state that he was white or Latino?

The facts are clear. Obama is just as white as Zimmerman, however, Obama is considered 100% black by the left while the guy who's make up is white and Peruvian is having his Peruvian side whitewashed until he's as white as newly driven snow.

Good point. And if Obama is as white as Zimmerman, then I'm getting tired of being oppressed by "The Man".

Okay, how about some actual cases?

'You get what you deserve, white boy': Boy, 13, doused in gasoline and set alight in racially-motivated attack

By PAUL THOMPSON

UPDATED: 21:28 EST, 4 March 2012

Police are investigating a possible race hate attack after a 13-year-old boy was doused in gasoline and set on fire.

The teenager, who suffered first degree burns to his face and hands, is white and his two attackers black.

His mother Melissa Coon said the attackers told her son 'This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy'.

Is political correctness to blame for lack of coverage over horrific black-on-white killings in America's Deep South?

By DAVID GARDNER
UPDATED: 04:53 EST, 16 October 2009

It was the kind of crime that strikes terror into the hearts of parents everywhere.

A bright young couple were carjacked after a Saturday night date and murdered in the most brutal way imaginable.

Christopher Newsom, 23, was tied up and raped, shot in the back of the head and then dragged to a railway track and set on fire.

His girlfriend, 21-year-old University of Tennessee student Channon Christian’s fate was even more horrific.

Her death came only after hours of torture, during which time she was raped and savaged with a broken chair leg.

She was beaten in the head and a household bleach was poured down her throat and over her bleeding and battered genital area in an attempt by her attackers to cover any evidence of rape – all while she was still alive.

Then she was ‘hog-tied’ with curtains and a strip of bedding and a plastic bag was wrapped over her face.

Her body was stashed inside five bigger rubbish liners and dumped in a bin, where, according to the autopsy report, she slowly suffocated to death.

On Monday, the alleged ringleader of the gang accused of the killings goes on trial in Knoxville, Tennessee.
One of the gang has already been convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

But, even though the killings happened in January, 2007, they have attracted very little national and international coverage.

That’s because they do not fit into the conventional contours of an attack in America’s Deep South, where a shameful history of racial intolerance has meant assaults by whites on blacks have historically been regarded in the context of race.

In this case, the races were reversed: the victims were white and the four men and one woman charged in connection with the murders are black.

Ironically, the case has now generated more publicity surrounding the furore over whether or not political correctness was behind the US media’s decision to largely ignore the story than it did for the murders themselves.

You let me know if these fit the bill.

'You get what you deserve, white boy': Boy, 13, doused in gasoline and set alight in racially-motivated attack

I did a search on this story because yours didn't list the kids first name. I was going to reply...this would be a perfect time for Herman Cain to come out and say "If I had a son he would look like Allen Coon".

But I came across this story in the process. Holy Sheet:

Was Boy in K.C. Fire Attack a Victim of His School's Racist Teaching?

The boy raised his hand, eager to answer the question. "What would you know about it?" exclaimed the teacher dismissively. "You're not our race."

This was not dialogue from a Hollywood movie. According to a woman named Melissa Coon, it was what a teacher at East High School in Kansas City told her 13-year-old son, Allen, when he attempted to answer a question during Black History Month. Coon identifies that teacher as Mrs. Karla Dorsey, who is black; Allen is white.Coon states that it was merely the horrible culmination of continual racial harassment her son had to endure at East High. Moreover, after conducting an investigation that included extensive interviews with parents and students, I've learned that Coon's son is not alone. Other white students also report a pattern of racial harassment at the high school at the hands of their peers -- and, shockingly, their teachers.

Two of these victims were the twin 14-year-old daughters (first names withheld upon request) of Karin Wildeisen. Ever since their family relocated from Texas, they had endured racial animosity in the Kansas City school system and inappropriate behavior by staff, which included teachers laughing while boys humiliatingly manhandled the girls and a teacher slapping one of them on the backside. But there was far worse to come.

Where would a teacher get the idea that all whites are responsible for the Jasper tragedy? It's not hard to figure out. Black liberation theology (BLT) instructs, writes the man some regard as its father, Professor James Cone, that "all white men are responsible for white oppression." And how common is BLT? Well, Cone's books were required reading at Barack Obama's longtime house of worship in Chicago, Trinity United Church of Christ. <portions snipped>

The student on student harrassment happens everywhere. I get that. But the teachers piled on too? Maybe we need to pay them more. Maybe we can get Al and Jesse to light themselves on fire to show solidarity with the Coon family.

That putting-his-hand-up-to-answer-a-question-white-piece-of-shit-bastard got whats coming to him.

re: the last paragraph...Are there any scumbags 0bama DID NOT hang out with in the Chicago area? Not to worry, the resident libs will be along to tell me how much I'm overreacting. How many scumbags is it now? I've lost count.

Where I come from, latinos have always been considered white. That country is America. Seriously, I object to the deliberate effort by so-called academics and political militants to narrow the definition of caucasian to "white people" meaning some ill defined and flexible term limited to those persons I now call "brightwhite" and other people call "western European" or incorrectly WASP.

What American do you live in, Nova? In the America I inhabit, the people described as Latino/Hispanic/Chicano are always discussed in racial terms. Have you been to a university lately?

[Novaheart]

If Zimmerman put in an application to UC Berkeley, would his application state that he was white or Latino?

As his mother is (was?) Peruvian, he'd be smart to cover his bases and put "Hispanic Native American Indigenous Person" for Berkeley.

You quoted the whole sentence, didn't you read it? I said that I object to the deliberate effort to narrow the definition of caucasian.
