Hopefully some facet of the media will publish all the FACTS in this
matter without all the BS racial drama assertations. Would be nice
to hear what went down without the bs. drama queen reporting.

So here is what we have on Trayvon:

- 6'2 high school football player
- gang tats, gold teeth (grill), gang signs, gang clothing
- busted at school for having burglary tools and a woman's (stolen) jewelry
- busted at school for pot and suspended

Violent Criminal in a Hoody Attacks Congress!



Oh...nevermind. It's just a Congressman. Thank God Zimmerman wasn't there to remove the threat.

Here's Rep. Rush's comments:

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) was thrown off the House floor Wednesday after wearing a hoodie and sunglasses in protest of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida.

"Racial profiling has to stop," Rush said as he peeled off his suit jacket to reveal a hoodie underneath, at which point he pulled the hood over his head and replaced his glasses with sunglasses. "Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum."

Rush began citing passages from the Bible about the need "to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" and about being "sent ... to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and to recover the sight to the blind and to set the oppressed free .... I urge all men who hear these words to heed these lessons."

Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), who was presiding over the chamber at the moment, repeatedly hammered the gavel and tried to interrupt Rush, but he kept talking with a louder voice.

"May God bless Trayvon Martin's soul, his family," Rush shouted. He was still yelling as he was escorted off the floor by the House Sergeant at Arms.

Harper said Rush violated House rules by wearing a hoodie and reminded those in the chamber of the rules.

"Clause 5 of Rule 17 prohibits the wearing of hats in the chamber when the House is in session," Harper said after Rush had been taken out. "The chair finds that the donning of a hood is not consistent with this rule. Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor."

A request for comment from Rush's office was not immediately returned.

This whole over exposure is racist.

Where were the crowds and public interest when the 29 year old white restaurant worker was slammed against the wall and made comatose by a real cop? Wrong guy, in fact. Totally innocent. Where were the crowds, and the national media then? Cop's actions were "justified".

Oh never mind.......he was White. rolleyes

edit: Oh, and the President has a tea party with the Black Professor and comments on the Treyvor incident......but where were his comments on the above incident. Once again.....racist.

Though far from scientific, I'm betting that a black teenager would be far safer walking through a wealthy white neighborhood than a white teenager would be walking through a black ghetto.

A friend was a cop in Richmond California's worst ghetto neighborhoods and feels the same way.

Just saying, now call me a racist.

Racism swings both ways.
Neither is good for America.

No doubt that racism swings both ways, but I can't help but wonder if blacks just maybe have legitimate reasons for their feelings about whites. It wasn't the blacks who sold the whites into slavery and wrote the segregation laws.

And we wonder about and don't understand the tribal feuds in other parts of the world while tribalism continues unabated right here in the good ole USA.

Yeah Salmonella, you're racist. So am I. It's the ones who say they aren't that most likely aren't being honest with themselves.

Sg,
You are one of the most intellectually honest posters here on PP.
Though on some issues we may disagree, you always put forth a well thought out response, instead of some two bit partisan sound byte.
Thank you.

I can only view the world from my white middle class perspective.
That said, I find perpetual victimhood rather disturbing.

I grew up in a very difficult situation.
My parents divorced when I was young, myself and three brothers lived with my dad who battled with alcoholism for many years.
Eviction notices, turned off electricity, bill collectors calling, little to eat, etc..etc.. not a good environment to grow up in to say the least.

I got a job at 18 and knew it was either sink or swim for me as I had no support system to fall back on.
Every single day I strived to succeed, knowing that I wanted out of my childhood situation.
My brothers were the same,today all of us have forged good families and comfortable lives.

Often I see peoples of similar upbringings copping out to drug & alcohol induced failures, blaming their rough childhoods and abusive parents for their complete lack of personal responsibility.

Yes, white Anglos were responsible for horrific injustices toward an entire race of people.
I wonder however just how many hundreds of years must pass before that is no longer a valid crutch.
It seems like the so called civil rights leaders (namely Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton) foster the continued sense of victimhood of their fellow African Americans.
Again I can only see the world through my prism, and perhaps my fate would have been different if I were born with dark skin.
I have always enjoyed the refreshing mind of Bill Cosby, who continually preaches self responsibility and the might to break the shackles of continued victimhood based on race.



Author Shelby Steele has some revolutionary concepts regarding black society in America in what he calls "The Religion Of Racism".

It's going to take some clever lawyering to sell "justifiable self defense" when the record shows that Mr. Z chose to continue pursuit after being told to stand down.
Anything can happen in these circus trials, I suppose.

I can't decide whose side I'm on though.
Let's see, black kid w/hoodie vs. 1/2 Hispanic-1/2 Caucasian with a Greek given name and a Jewish surname.

Salmonella,

Thanks for the compliment. Always enjoy your stuff too.

Gotta' agree that there's plenty of blame and responsibility to go around. I don't even claim to understand it. Lotta' learned sociologists been writing about racism and black culture in the US for a long time, and it doesn't look like anyone's any closer to figuring it out now than they were 100 years ago. It does give me a little more empathy to the nutty tribalism that's a 1,000 years old and governs behavior in some other countries.

Rodney King summed it up as well as anyone with his famous question: "why can't we all just get along?" Probably because we're human, and it's not in our nature, apparently, is the only answer I've come to.

There's a lot of perpetual victimhood being played by gun owners...Watch out for those Grabbers!...and Christians...It's a War on Christmas!!!...

Perpetual victimhood is how the real redistribution of wealth takes place...distributing it to those who not only tell you to be afraid...Be Very Afraid!!...but by those who tell you that they are the only ones who can save you.

Funny part is that those who tell you to be afraid, and offer to save you, are always the same people.

Fish on...

Todd

The same with the killings in Afghanistan. The media plays it how they want the public to react, rather than just reporting the news in a straightforward manner.

Dogfish, methinks you protest too much. How do you report either story (Florida and Afghanistan) in a straightforward manner? Both stories have "facts" that are all over the place. I wish we, as a society, would be willing to wait for the facts to become clear, but we are not and as soon as one news outlet presents the story (incomplete, innacurate, and premature), all others follow. We get what we deserve and what we demand.
