I've been silent too long on this issue. I'm speaking up now because as a Black American Woman, I am thoroughly sick to death of how this so-called case was handled.
First of all, this so-called case should've never went to court. The police chief was correct in not arresting George Zimmerman. He was in fear for his life and he used his weapon to kill his attacker, Trayvon Martin. Heedless of the fact that Trayvon was labled a child he possessed enough strength to punch Zimmerman in the nose, knocking him to tbe ground, straddle and pound the back of his head on the pavement until he nearly passed out. What man our woman in their right mind would not fight back if they had the means to do do?
As mentioned previously this case never should've made it to court. At the most it should've went to grand jury for indictments. That's where 30 jurors decide whether or not a case possesses enough evidence to go to trial. In New York City the Zimmerman case would've been tossed out in... dare I say it? A New York Minute!
However, our President got involved by saying "If I had a son, he'd be like Trayvon Martin." Oh really, Mister President? You'd want a hoodie wearing, dope smoking, gun toting, thug for a son? There are plenty of them running the city streets of Chicago, pick one and adopt one. I dear you.
One of my personal mottos is: "If you love it so much, take it home with you." But, I guess there are already enough thugs in the White House....
I digress......
From here on it was lies, lies, and more lies. The slight of hand, shady deals, and the political fan dancing abounded. The media (the house organ of Sith Lord Obama) depicted George Zimmerman as racist white hunter with a gun with nothing better to than to track down and kill Trayvon Martin, the poor little innocent lambie pie boo.
Here's where I must confess that I am personally ashamed of my race. Why? Because as a whole they believed the blatant lies the media shoveled out. Adding insult to injury here came the professional race baiters and shake down artists Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, The NAACP, and the New Black Panther Party.
Anyone who has half a brain, intelligence, and not part of the hive mind mentality, knows these individuals and groups have sorted pasts and blood on their hands. So why have they become so credible now?
I tell you why, because my people want to believe the lies! They want to be prejudiced, angry and ultimately, destroy, riot, loot and sack like the radical Jihadists over in the Middle East. Don't belive me? Look at some of the photos from some of the so-called peaceful "Justice For Trayvon" demonstrations. The ones where the participants were burning the American flag, and some have their faces covered with scarfs and hoods like...... Mursi supporters, and the Taliban.
Instead of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton calling for the Department of Justice to investgate an innocent and aquitted man, how about addressing the Black youth? How about teaching the young men and women NOT to be thugs? Teach them to respect themselves, each other, their parents and authority. Teach them how to dress properly so the cops won't have "probable cause" to stop, question and frisk them. Teach them to carry identification and answer the police politely, follow their instructions and not give the cops lip, attitude, fight them, or flee.
Alas, this would be take too much work. Its much easier to stir up hate and foment. There is no money and fame in peace.
Allow me to interject a personal experience. Many years ago I went out to Indiana to visit a penpal. While there my friend along with some other young ladies decided to go to this one ladies house to hang out. However when we arrived, her father met us at the door and told me. "I don't allow niggers in my house." Yes, he said the "N" word because there was no such thing as political correctness back then.
Previously I'd never traveled outside of New York City and therefore had never been subjected to such blatant prejudice. What did I do? I turned around and left. After all, that was his home and he thus had the right to allow who he wanted to into it. My friends and I simply found somewhere else to hang out.
When he uttered those words I had a choice, to curse him out and or attempt to bully my way into his home, threaten to kill him and his family or burn his house down. However my parents taught me to respect others and their boundary lines. That's why I turned away and left. It's all about the upbringing and who you have as role models.
Unfortunately within the Black community there is a deeply rooted culture of thuggishness. Young men and women look up to rappers, gangbangers, thugs, dope dealers and criminals. When a kid minds his or her business, goes to school, graduates and moves out of the "hood" they are considered a "cornball niggger" aka a traitor to the race.
If a guy doesn't have at least ten baby mamas, and not slapping half of the bitches up, hasn't been to jail at least three times, he's not a man. If a woman doesn't have at least three baby daddies for her five kids and is a Welfare Queen on EBT, WIC, Section 8, etc. Well, she is just weird. These people are often called Oreos. Though Black outside they are White or have White ways inside.
Sadly nearly 95% of those in jail are not only Black but recidivists. So is it any wonder other races and law enforcement are suspicous of our children? Parents are not raising responsible American citizens, they are raising leeches and monsters! I say we (the Black race) still have a heck of a lot of work to do, and it is NOT perpetuating the racial divide.
I rest my case......
