Justice demands that the killing of Trevon Martin, precisely like any other killing, be fully investigated. Justice likewise demands that if the facts warrant, his killer, the "white Hispanic" (and registered Democrat) George Zimmerman, should be prosecuted, but, equally, that if the facts don't show Zimmerman's conduct to be culpable, that Zimmerman should not suffer any legal consequence. For all of the facts known to date, Sister Toldjah has an exceptional roll up.
But justice has taken a back seat as the race hustlers have come out in force, calling for George Zimmerman's blood - the facts, investigation and applicable law be damned. All of the problems of the black community are glossed over as the loudest of voices all claim that the biggest problem blacks suffer from is violent white racism. That is about as far from reality as one can get.
The New Black Panthers - the same group calling for the murder of "cracker babies" - put out a "wanted" poster and has now put a bounty out for Zimmerman's capture. Louis Farrakhan - whom you might remember as the man who motivated the Virginia sniper - has called for "retribution." Spike Lee retweeted Zimmerman's address - though he got it wrong - in a clear invitation to vigilante justice. Jesse Jackson, who recently commented that "“targeting, arresting, convicting blacks and ultimately killing us is big business” in America - has proclaimed that there will be "no peace" until Zimmerman is arrested. MSNBC's resident race hustler, Al Sharpton - the man largely responsible for the Crown Heights riots that ended in the murder of two men by blacks - has made the Martin case his cause celebre, likewise portraying this as a racial incident and calling for Zimmerman's immediate arrest. According to Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson, that intellectual heavyweight who worried that too many people on Guam might cause it to tip over, Martin was "executed for 'WWB' in a 'GC.' Walking While Black in a Gated Community." Johnson may be dumber than a tomato, but he knows the language of race hustling. He has been joined in his obscenities by many other of his fellow black Congressmen and women.
Are you at all surprised that there has not been a single word of criticism from the left - and nowhere near enough from the right - for these outrageous acts, at least several of which amount to a call for a lynching? On the contrary, the left embraces these scandalous acts, while the right is so used to them that the response is muted.
Now let's take a look at some of the other race based violence going on in America - most of which is going virtually unreported and unremarked.
Two weeks ago, two 16 year old blacks followed a 13 year old white boy they did not know while he was on his way home from school. At some point, they tossed gas in his face, then lit him on fire while saying "you get what you deserve, white boy." There was zero mention of it in the national media. Regardless, to commit this barbaric crime, what kind of hatred must these two blacks have been fed, and who fed it to them? It turns out that race hatred was being taught to blacks in their Kansas City public school which, as Robert Avrech describes, "teaches and encourages racial constructs that make Nazi Germany look positively multicultural." Do see his post for the whole stomach churning story.
Though the above described attack was particularly heinous, it is hardly an anomaly. Brutal black race violence is not unusual at all in many places. In Philadelphia, they are seeing "almost weekly racially motivated mob attacks on white people. The media censors all mention of the race and only prints tiny stories calling them “flash mobs.”' This type of black mob racially motivated violence has also appeared in other cities across the U.S. In San Francisco and Oakland, its black mob violence directed at Asians. These are blacks being fed a steady diet of hatred and victimization by the left, and then lashing out.
The above is anecdotal evidence. Let's review some of the statistics.
- "In 2005, there were more than 645,000 victims of cross-racial violent crimes between blacks and whites in the U.S. In 90% of those crimes, black offenders attacked white victims."
- "Black men are the leading cause of death among young blacks [male and female]”; “1 in 146 black males are at risk of violent death”; and though comprising only 13 percent of the U.S. population, 43 percent of all murder victims are black, compounded by the fact that 93 percent of them are killed by other blacks."
- "There were two and a half times as many white and Hispanic victims of black killers in 2009 as there were black victims of white and Hispanic killers, even though the black population is one-sixth that of whites and Hispanics combined. If Hispanics were removed from the category of “white” killers of blacks, the percentage of blacks killed by Anglo whites would plummet, since a significant percentage of what the FBI calls “white”-on-black killings represent gang warfare between Hispanic and black gangs."
- In "New York City, [b]lacks commit 80 percent of all shootings . . . — as reported by the victims of and witnesses to those shootings — though they are but 23 percent of the population; whites commit 1.4 percent of all shootings, though they are 35 percent of the population. Add Hispanic shootings to the black tally, and you account for 98 percent of all of the city’s gun violence."
- "The life expectancy for black men in prison is higher than the life expectancy for black men outside of prison."
But let's go beyond crime statistics. One of the single greatest indicators of how a child will turn out - academically, financially, and in virtually all areas of achievement, is whether the child is raised in a single parent household as opposed to a two parent household. It is also a predictor of violence and criminality. Today, in the black community, fully "72 percent of Black children are raised in a single parent household." The much maligned Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s now fifty year old Department of Labor report, “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action," has proven horribly prophetic.
Black poverty is the highest in the nation. In 2011 it topped 27%, with over 38% of black children being raised in poverty. There is the direct correlation between education and income, and thus, poverty. The problems of education in inner city schools are open, obvious, and simply unforgivable. It is a crisis issue for black America. For but one example, Detroit, a city that is over 80% black, is America's poorest city, with over 36% of its residents listed as impovrished. Half of the residents of the city are functionally illiterate. Yet it is the left, protecting their public sector union piggy banks at all costs, that are the reason for this situation.
So there are huge problems in the black community. But among those problems, violent racism directed at blacks is at or near the bottom of the list. And indeed, racism itself of any kind directed at blacks is so absent from our country today that the race hustlers have felt compelled to invent the ludicrous construct of "color blind racism." Yet no one would know that if they just listen to the rouge's gallery of race hustlers listed at the top of this post. All of them want to pretend that its 1950 and Bull Conor, that infamous southern Democrat, is using the dogs and the hoses on blacks. The left teach blacks to feel victimized by whites, to nurse and, indeed, be defined by hatred of whites, and to blame all their troubles on whites. Not a single one of these "black leaders" is doing a damn thing about the true problems of the black community. And of course, they are aided and abetted by the left as a whole. To the left, anything that supports the black victim narrative is acceptable, no matter how unmoored from reality, no matter how obscene and noxious.
Racism has no place in America. That holds equally true for reverse racism - it too is every bit as repugnant and likewise, has no place in America. Yet the left has created two standards in America. They have set a high bar for anyone not a left wing black, all of whom are held to rigid standards of political correctness, and no standards whatsoever for left wing blacks. The right has acquiesced in this for years. No more. Everyone in our country needs to start holding all the race hustlers and their leftist enablers to account.
The acts of the New Black Panthers are illegal and we should be demanding that they be investigated. (I know, fat chance with Eric Holder, but the demand should be made all the same.) The same with Spike Lee - who should also face civil action from the people actually living at the address he tweeted. Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam need to be denounced and treated just as were the KKK - whom they resemble in mirror image. Moreover, we should be demanding that Nation of Islam "prison ministry" should be shut down in every state. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton need to be challenged vociferously for their ridiculous claims about white racism and, equally, about just what have they done to advance the plight of blacks. It is no secret they have done far more for their bank accounts than their community. After that, they should be shunned and their appearances protested at every opportunity. They need to be treated like the vile race hustlers they are.
And just to ask, if the state concludes, as they well may, that Zimmerman acted legally, do you think that there will be violence from black mobs stirred up by these race hustlers? I think it is inevitable. And every one of these race hustlers need to be held to account for it. Update: Apparently, a "flash mob" of black high school students found not merely time to rally for Martin, but then also to raid a Walgreens. Because, you know, nothing says racial justice like ransacking and robbing a store. The race hustlers need to be billed.
Race hustling and reverse racism need to go the way racism itself in America. It is long past time we need to start disrupting the race narrative with actual facts. For the benefit of every single person in this nation, it is long past time that we start holding the black left to the same standards of conduct as everyone else. Is there any doubt that if Breitbart were alive, he would be leading the charge on this. He left us far too soon. It is left up to us.
