In short. This is perhaps the biggest national racial event since Rodney King. It is also shaping up to be the biggest media driven false public story since Richard Jewell.  It’s in the process of becoming a watershed event;  And it’s almost entirely fake.  It’s a tempest in a tea cup.
The whole thing is an institutionally media-generated racialist/communist psychopolitical agitator’s dream come true.
But the larger question, the intellectually honest question, is why?  

Much is being made about Trayvon shooting the middle finger.  Pfffft it’s distraction.    *the kid in the top banner picture, (with Obama) on the right, is not the same Trayvon Martin*   However, feel free to insert this picture below in its place which does show the real Trayvon Martin shooting a double middle finger pose.  Does that make a difference?

It shouldn’t.   The Facts as they appear to me.   Trayvon Martin was a seventeen year old black kid from a broken home in North Miami who was the custodial child of his mother but also spent time during the week with his father.   A typical story of a teenager from a fractured non-stable enviroment.   Just like 50%+ of all teenagers.
Except this kid was kicked out of school for two weeks and for some reason Dad decided to take Trayvon to Orlando to spend time with Dad’s girlfriend during his suspension.    Dad also said he grounded the kid as punishment for his behavior that led to his suspension.
He’s now dead.   Shot during an altercation with a hispanic Neighborhood Watch Captain named George Zimmerman who was suspicious of Trayvons behavior while in the gated community where the girlfriend and Zimmerman lived.   
What led to the confrontation between Zimmerman and Trayvon is the subject of police investigation.   But initially based on reports from witnesses, Zimmerman himself, and the police who responded to the altercation, George Zimmerman was cleared of unlawful action and deemed to have been acting in self defense.
Was he?   Was Zimmerman truly justified?   Or was this some form of wrongful vigilante justice?   Well those facts are currently under further review.
But for me the bigger question is why are the media types all over this  in the first place?  Who benefits and who put it there ?  And why would President Obama put his opinion into the public relm before facts and the investigation play out.
Intellectually honest questions?

Why is the most recent photograph the media chooses to use of Trayvon from 5 years ago?
Couldn’t they find a more recent photograph, and in all other print and TV media stories don’t they use the most current photographs?  But not in this case.   Why?
Who is benefitting from stretching this story into a national discussion of race relations?

There is, if you are honest with yourself,  a set of financial dependents with the Race-Baiting industry who rely on such narratives.   What does Al Sharpton actually do for a living?   What is the professional job description of Jesse Jackson?   How about Ben Jealous?   What is it that New Black Panthers  are dependent upon in order to remain relevent?
Why did the President weigh in?
The President is from Chicago, and just last weekend 40 black kids were injured and 10 black children shot to death in Chicago, his home town.    That is not worthy of Presidental comment, yet he choose to speak on only this one incident in Florida from 3 weeks ago?    Why?
Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton, the NAACP and the New Black Panthers chose to travel to Sanford Florida instead of Chicago Illinois.   Justice only needed in Florida?   Why? 

In 1992 (Ruby Ridge) Randy Weaver’s wife Vicki Weaver, and his son Sammy Weaver were shot and killed.    Reverend Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Ben Jealous, and the other aforementioned proponents of justice never traveled to Idaho.   Why? 
In 1992 (Los Angeles) Rodney King was beaten badly.   Reverend Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson,  Alton H. Maddox, and C Vernon Mason did fly directly to LA to insure justice was served.    Why? 
The outcome of Ruby Ridge shooting led to a 1993 Waco massacre where 82 people including 20 children were killed.   Yet Reverend Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Alton H Maddox and C Vernon Mason never expressed opinion, nor engaged themselves in a quest for justice.    Why?
The outcome of the Los Angeles Riots, led to truck driver Reginald Oliver Denny being dragged out of his 18 wheeler truck rig, beaten with bats and his skull crushed by a cinder block on live TV.    Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton, Alton H Maddox and C Vernon Mason never expressed opinion, nor engaged themselves in a quest for justice.   Why? 
What gives?

Didn’t Dr. Martin Luther King work his entire life to insure justice was color blind?
Do the pages contained within the legal books of a non-hyphenated citizenry posess different colored bindings?   Or is the content of character within those scribes subject to divergent application so long as there is a vested financial interest at stake ?
I choose freedom.
I choose not to be manipulated.
I prefer intellectual honesty.
