George Zimmerman trial

To my mind, it is clear beyond any reasonable doubt that Trayvon Martin would still be alive if he had not attacked George Zimmerman.  Although the evidence was disallowed by the court–in what to my mind is a patent breach of justice–Martin had been getting in a lot of fights lately when he confronted Zimmerman.  He bragged about it in his text messages, and seemed to enjoy it.  He had video of one fight involving two other young men on his cell phone. He had pictures both of a gun and a marijuana plant.

He was on his way to jail, sooner rather than later.  He had already been caught with stolen goods, was so chronically truant that his mother kicked him out of the house (which is why he was in that neighborhood staying with his dad.)

On the night in question, there was a steady rain, and he took over an hour for what should have been a 20 minute trip to the store.  This is not in question.  There is no doubt, at all.  Why was he wandering around in the rain?  Why have so few people asked this question?

Here is what bothers me: there are half a million Trayvon Martin’s out there: emotionally confused, angry, dysfunctional young men whose parents have failed them, who see no direction in life, and who are taught by “society” to feel sorry for themselves as the solution to everything.  What should be on trial is a political order which seemingly exists to keep creating an endless supply of Trayvon Martins, so that a very wealthy, very privileged political elite can keep their jobs.

Did Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson send their kids to the sort of place Martin went?  Barack Obama?  Hell: did Obama go to a “ghetto” school, ever?  FUCK NO: he went to an elite white prep school and two Ivy League universities (or at least one:  Columbia is still a question mark).

But these awful human beings USE people like Trayvon Martin to generate a useful division between blacks and other minorities and a white populace that in almost all cases is doing nothing but try to help. I’m a conservative and it bothers the HELL out of me how black kids have to live.  But you can’t dig out of a hole by continuing to dig, which is what the Democrats want of everyone who is afraid of being called a racist.

Consider the riots in the 1960’s, in Detroit, LA and elsewhere.  They were created by race hustlers, and Communistic Agitation Propaganda.  What was the effect?  The ghettos were made permanent.  The white people moved out, and all the States had to pass laws prohibiting real estate agents from mentioning that a neighborhood was becoming black.  All the problems of black communities became worse.  In recompense, they were in effect promised they could become wards of the State.  This has done nothing but feed the worst elements of laziness, entitlement, and illegitimacy.  Long term marriages are virtually absent.  As I understand it, a black kid has only a 10% chance of growing up in a functioning two parent home.

And we KNOW beyond any reasonable doubt that there is a STRONG correlation between being raised by a single parent and a whole host of problems, including delinquency, educational failure, and unemployment.  No serious improvement can be made in black communities without addressing the issue of reconstituting the nuclear family.  In my view, economic advancement would help immensely in that, and in turn that will only happen if Democrat policies which are inimical to business interests are reversed.  Virtually every big ghetto in every big city has been electing Democrats for at least 3 decades.

We are seeing threats of riots if Zimmerman is acquitted, as he plainly should be.  Who is asking what the effect of these riots will be?  Who is looking to the past to see what the effect of the Rodney King riots was?  Did the riots help anyone?  Were any black people advanced because of it?  Maybe a few hustlers.  Maybe a few politicians.  But the people in those communities, if anything, were WORSE off.

Dogs won’t crap in their own cages, but that is what so-called black leaders are asking blacks to do in their own communities.  That is what they have done in the past.  It is my understanding that you can still see, today, signs of the riots Detroit had some 50 years ago.

And for what?  To convince people to change their minds through violence?  They will do nothing but reinforce existing stereotypes.  They will do nothing but fan existing enmities, and build enemies among the previously indifferent.

Do they think white people are helpless?  We are the ones paying the bills.  And we are almost all armed.

I can only hope both that Zimmerman is acquitted and that calmer minds prevail.  If not, everyone loses.  The patent evil of using race for political advancement has never been more clear to me.
