printIs balance so much to ask for in the Trayvon Martin case? By balance I do not mean “Fair and Balanced” a la Fox News, or Andy Cooper’s “Keeping them Honest” deal.
What I mean is this: The deceased youth, Martin, appears to have been targeted unfairly. The facts of the shooting should be reviewed impartially. But for every Trayvon victimized by an Hispanic (if this is indeed the case), thousands of whites are brutalized by a sinecured black, criminal class, members of whom never get called out for what are crimes rooted in racial hatred.
Courtesy of “Suicide of a Superpower” come the FBI’s crime figures for 2007: “Blacks committed 433,934 violent crimes against whites, eight times as many as the 55,685 that whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black-on-white, with 14,000 assaults on white women by African American males in 2007. Not one case of white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.” (Page 243.)
Not so long ago, the slaughtering of twenty-one-year-old Channon Christian and twenty-three-year-old Hugh Christopher Newsom in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2007, was dismissed as a racially neutral, garden-variety murder and rape.
Read my description of the crime in Into the Cannibal’s Pot, and explain to me how white America can thus forsake its children by accepting the racial innocence of their defilers:
Five blacks—four men and a woman—anally raped Hugh, then shot him to death, wrapped his body in bedding, soaked it in gasoline and set it alight. He was the lucky one. Channon, his fair and fragile-looking friend, was repeatedly gang raped by the four men—vaginally, anally and orally. Before she died, her murderers poured a household cleaner down her throat, in an effort to cleanse away DNA. She was left to die, either from the bleeding caused “by the tearing,” or from asphyxiation. Knoxville officials would not say. She was then stuffed in a garbage can like trash. White trash. (pp. 35-36)
There are quite a few like it every year. Here’s one. Here is another. And still another. Want more? You got it. The name of the black rapist and killer of an 85-year-old lady: Tyrone Dale David. Oh, but this wasn’t racial subjugation, only sexual attraction, right? Yeah, right.
Are you sending your kids to school with this deranged, raging, sick-with-racism maniac? A “black Coed Threatens to Murder ‘10,000 Whites’ and White Prof; Attacks White Student and Security.” You probably are.
An even treatment of the Trayvon travesty would recognize and dignify the reality of crime in this country, and the daily black-on-white brutality, much of it rooted in a deep racial hatred, animus nurtured by the media and the political and academic cognoscenti.
UPDATE I: In reply to a Facebook reader: The racial extravaganza—show of brute force from race hustlers—is most certainly an issue here. Thus, to encourage an examination of the facts of the case, sans hysteria, one has to discount the circus. To do that, one has to discuss the reality of crime; who, on aggregate, brutalizes who in this country. To do that, you have to dispense with the idea that blacks are habitually victimized. They are not. Then you go on to deal with the offender in this case as an atypical offender.
UPDATE II (March 24): A doff of the hat to our reader for providing information that has emerged since Zimmerman’s public vilification began. It confirms that all information has to be gathered and processed before public pronunciations are made:
Witness: Martin attacked Zimmerman: MyFoxTAMPABAY.com
“The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said.
Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.
The witness only wanted to be identified as “John,” and didn’t not want to be shown on camera.
His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman’s claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman.
“When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point,” John said.
Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.
Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.

Humans and objectivity. Still waiting for pigs to fly.
Well said.
What really happened? Who knows and we’re not likely to find out. This case is tailor made for the hustlers out there to exploit and the guilty white populace to self flagellate and grovel in repentance. I’ll bet Obama, Sharpton, Jackson et al, whimpered in joy when they heard about this incident.
An eyewitness has come forward, claiming that the shooting was self-defense, that the man was being physically attacked and was yelling for help before he shot the kid.

If causality is not proven – difficult to maintain with all manner of contemporary behavior seeking the barbaric mean – the correlation is still worth looking into.
The signal feature of the mass hysteria* that is the fixation of our times, the post racial uniter Mr Obama,
is that it utterly disregards that the racist half of him is the black half not the white. Perhaps auras conceal more than they reveal.
There’s no difficulty in making the case that: Mr President hates everything about his(?) country – not least its whiteness; his wife, with her faculty to make a smile not easily distinguishable from a scowl, oozes like contempt; and his known associates, Rev. Wright (twenty years hebdomadal), Ayers, et al, share in the contempt but with such a bitter intensity as can be found only in emanative evil.
Mr. Obama is clearly a proponent of Black Critical thinking on race (all whites are racists, either admitted or in denial)**. His and Mr. Holder’s (another racial adept) Justice Dept. now serves as a clearinghouse for the advancement of colored justice. You’ve come a long way babies; from the outhouse to the White House; from nomoethic to chromoethic.
Black on white hate crime has certainly increased dramatically and is becoming more savage.
Flash mobs of the event type date back to 2003. In 2009 came the advent of the first black flash mobs – destructive and threatening.
On the assumption that the recursive pendulum will still be working in the future and reality will have made a comeback, Mr Obama will one day be recognized as not only a man most unfit for the high office, but worse, a President who had provoked much black racial resentment, antagonism, and violence. All the talk of there being no substantive differences between Parties and candidates, true for the most part, ends with Mr Obama. Whatever else he is, he is mostly an aggravating force.
*hysteria – at one time a condition proprietarily female but now extended to the unbalanced feminine psyche more evident in girly boy pundits and columnists.
**Ex.: typical white grandmother; Obama on Gates/Crowley affair; Obama, on opposition to his presidency from conservatives:
“especially right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent Tea Party movement… [A] subterranean agenda in the anti-Obama movement — a racially biased one — that was unfortunate.”
Whenever the MSM is pushing a story, it is imperative to look to see what their “angle” is. If you pay attention, the news stories always come back to Florida’s “Stand your Ground” law. How many black male teenagers are killed every day? Yet it is THIS story that is being pushed. The elites hate any law that allows an armed citizenry. This is nothing more than a move toward getting this law removed. As far as the victim, let’s hear what the little angel’s juvenile record was. Perhaps there is a reason the police accepted the shooter’s story. Perhaps they were quite familiar with the little darling in question. Of course the permanent victim class is demanding the outcome they want (in the old days we referred to that as a lynch mob). On the local news last night, one of our (Tx) black state senators who had just returned from a hoodie rally, stated that it’s not enough that the Grand Jury was going to investigate this; the Grand Jury has to be “ethnically diverse” (read all black). If this gets no billed, look for Rodney King riots 2.0
Crap! Nomoethic? Idiot! It’s nomothetic. That’s what comes of playing word games instead of concentrating on the task at hand.
Actually, it works in a black ebonics sort of way. I’m staking claim to a neologism and have your blog as evidence of origination.
There is a reason why non-blacks avoid black neighborhoods or dealing with blacks, in general, that they do not know personally.
Some months ago, the PC crowd got all whiny because there was an iPad (or was it Android) GPS app that would tell you where the dangerous areas of cities are, based on crime statistics. The PC crowd got all upset and insisted that this app be removed from the on-line store. I’m sure its available elsewhere, though.
[Do send a link; I recall hearing about this. I wonder if your regular child-sacrificing progressive parent prohibited his kids from using the app.]
Pay no attention whatever to race. If you wish to survive, just profile and avoid people who answer to names like “Trayvon”, “Leshawn”, “Orenthal”, and etc.
For every white/jewish/hispanic/eskimo/asian… “Zimmerman” who kills a black, there are 20 blacks who kill blacks. Are the blacks killed by blacks less worthy than the very few blacks killed by whites? Does being killed by a white elevate the victim by some magical means???
95% of the murder rate for blacks would be eliminated if blacks no longer murder blacks. But Reverend Al and his Messianic pal Barack are whooping up the usual demagoguery.[More like 99%.]
“REDMOND, Wash. (CBS Seattle) – Microsoft has been granted a patent for its “avoid ghetto” feature for GPS devices.”

It bothers me that underneath the piles of hoodies, nuance and sober discussion are being hidden. There’s no reason, no objectivity, no thought. No instinct to wait to hear all the details.
This movement of “solidarity” with the hoodies reminds me of “Wag The Dog” when Woody Harrelson’s fake war hero, Schumann (nickname: Old Shoe), returns home from the fake war in Albania. Meanwhile, a campaign strategist (Deniro) and Hollywood movie producer (Dustin Hoffman) are driving around in a stretch limo and cynically throwing old shoes into the trees; all to create the perception of national solidarity with the fake war, Ole’ Shoe, and the President (in his time of scandalous turmoil right before an election).
And does anyone even bother to analyze the ludicrous nature of Governor Jennifer Granholm wearing the hoodie with that absurdly serious look on her face? The lesson here isn’t that people should be allowed to wear the cultural symbols of gangland thuggery and not get shot at; that goes without saying. The lesson here is: Can you wait five minutes to get the entire story before you go putting a bounty on the head of a neighborhood watchmen and wearing a hoodie like some damn fool?
In my local paper today a black youth was also killed for some reason (drug related). But it’s not national news; nor should it be. My concern is that there’s no desire in the media for proportion or perspective (wall to wall coverage of Trayvon Martin?? What about the white person who was lit on fire by a bunch of black kids?). There’s always a cultural thesis that the MSM is driving at (e.g. black kid got shot at simply because he looked black, suspicious, and up to no good). Who wants to bet the folks in the white house aren’t livid that George Zimmerman isn’t a lily white Caucasian Tea Party member? We’ll rarely get a glimpse of truth as long as Anderson Cooper and his cohorts are prematurely journo-jaculating all over it.
It’s interesting to note the pictures of the deceased and the shooter the media have been using aren’t up-to-date and accurate.
Trayvon was over 6 feet tall and I’m guessing somewhere in the 200 lb. range. The pics they’ve been using in the media are from years ago.

Zimmerman, who had no moral, or legal authority to follow Martin, stalked, and then confronted him. Zimmerman stared the fight and after losing it, shot Martin. That makes Zimmerman no different than all the blacks in the your article who unleashed violence and destruction on their victims. Even though the race baiting is disgusting, I blame the police for not righting this wrong from the beginning. They opened the door for racial silly season. The only reason there is an investigation is because Martin family refused to accept that their son was hunted down and murdered out of self defense.
Racist? Me? I think not. However I refuse to put up with the drivel or agree with the outright crap that eminates from the left. If a black says it or does it no matter how ridiculous of dishonest we are expected to look wise, nod our heads and agree or else be labeled “RAAAcists”. Well so be it. My demanding that blacks live up to the same standards as whites has labeled me a racist many times before. So be it.
In the meantime, you have to go to the UK to get decent coverage of this story… http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2110078/Boy-13-doused-gasoline-set-alight-racially-motivated-attack-Kansas-City.html
When this story first came out the media made it seem as if Zimmerman was white, but after reports of him being Latino came out, they are now classifying him as White(his father) Hispanic(Mother). So who’s the racist? The white Zimmerman or Hispanic Zimmerman?
“In the Chicago Tribune, Obama’s hometown paper, its columnist, Leonard Pitts Jr, insists that George Zimmerman is white because race is a construct and whiteness is not color, but privilege, making it completely indistinguishable from class.
Another thought. I have long warned, even before “Cannibals Pot” was published, that “South African” style primitive brutality was not limited to South Africa but easily transported to the United States. Actually it is and has been here for a long time. Merely unreported. Watch out for this latest incident exploding in mindless mass violence supported openly, or not, by politicians and professional race hustlers who thrive on these incidents.
